Therapy And Treatment
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
Psychodynamic psychotherapy, born of Sigmund Freud’s original ‘talking cure’, psychoanalysis, is based on the exploration and identification of unconscious mental processes and the mechanisms used to repress them or defend against them. A further goal of psychodynamic therapy is to raise self-awareness and help the client to understand the influence of the past on their present behaviour.
At Montrose Place, the clinical team utilise a psychodynamic approach to give clients the opportunity to examine unresolved conflicts and symptoms which arise from dysfunctional relationships in their past (and present) and manifest themselves in the need and desire to abuse substances or maladaptive behaviours.
