Introduction
This paper will compare and contrast CBT with the chosen modality psychodynamic therapy. Initially it will be discussed about both the topic individually and then the differences will be pointed out. Further, it will be highlighted the practical and philosophical perspective of other therapies in reference to the differences and similarities of the chosen modality and CBT. Before that, each therapy has been discussed separately. Lastly, the paper is concluded by giving a brief summary.
Comparison between CBT and Psychotherapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches people how to recognise and alter distressing or harmful thinking patterns that affect their behaviours and emotions. Anxiety, emotional issues and despair can all be exacerbated by these habitual negative ideas (Murphy, Calugi, Cooper & Dalle Grave, 2020). CBT replaces these ideas and challenges by identifying with more realistic, reasonable ones.
The goal of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is to change by discovering erroneous or ineffective behaviours, thought processes and emotional reactions. CBT is used in a variety of therapeutic techniques, including rational emotive behaviour therapy, cognitive therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy, to name a few (Koffel, Bramoweth & Ulmer, 2018). Each takes a unique method, but they all aim to change the underlying thinking patterns that cause psychological pain.
CBT is one of the most researched types of therapy. Learning how environments, thoughts and feelings might lead to maladaptive behaviours is a key component of CBT. Mental diversions, relaxation exercises, Journaling and role-playing are some of the strategies used. CBT can assist the person in resolving and identifying issues that develop as an outcome of both little and major life stresses.
Treatment is focused on highly specific results and goals can be measured relatively easily. People must be willing to spend time and effort analysing their thoughts and feelings for cognitive behavioural therapy to be effective (Fauziyah, Iszakiyah & Kuzzairi, 2022). Working with children with varied symptoms in psychodynamic therapy requires them to be "contained," or held in some way, through affirmation and assistance in putting their symptoms into words.
The one, who cannot sit still, runs and has a normal ADHD diagnosis, while the other can sit still and converse, but her words are rushed and anxious. Despite the fact that the presenting behaviours are so different, both symptoms point to the same root cause: a sense of being out of control (Fauziyah et al., 2022). The therapist then works with both children on that sensation in order to alleviate the symptoms.
CBT is short-term and low-commitment for some people who are having emotional difficulties, except from performing their homework. Others enjoy how psychodynamic treatment appears to be more focused on current relationships and feelings (Koffel et al., 2018). After a few rounds of CBT have failed to alleviate their symptoms, some persons seek psychodynamic therapy.
Psychotherapy: Psychodynamic Therapy 
Psychodynamic treatment is based on psychoanalytic theory, however it is frequently a less rigorous and long approach than classical psychoanalysis. It assists people in gaining a better understanding of their feelings and thoughts. Talk therapy, often known as psychodynamic therapy, is a type of talk therapy.
It is founded on the premise that discussing concerns with a professional may help individuals find relief and answers. This method of psychotherapy can be beneficial in the treatment of emotional or mental suffering. It can aid in self-awareness, understanding and emotional development (Leichsenring, Steinert & Crits-Christoph, 2018).
Psychodynamic treatment assists individuals in recognising unconscious factors and suppressed emotions that may be influencing their behaviour. While it shares many similarities with psychoanalysis, it is usually shorter in terms of duration and less frequent. It may be used to address a wide range of mental health issues, just like other types of treatment. Psychodynamic treatment appears to be just as helpful as cognitive-behavioural therapy for a variety of disorders (Lindegaard et al., 2020).
Psychodynamic therapy are based on more than simply the symptoms that someone presents with when they enter treatment. The therapist assumes that the symptoms are a sign of a larger set of emotions that are interfering with the person’s life. With enough time, an emotional story emerges and the therapist formulates a theory as to why particular feelings continue to trouble the person.
In comparison to CBT and skills-based work, the process involves a more experiential process and insight. Many studies have demonstrated that, while symptom reduction is sluggish at first, a change in the person's behaviour leads to transformation and that the advantages last beyond therapy (Cohen, Kim, Van, Dekker & Driessen, 2020).
Contrasting CBT with Psychotherapy
The interconnection of our actions, physical sensations, thoughts and feelings is a common assumption in most types of therapy, including Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and CBT. As a result, what goes on in our heads frequently emerges in our actions and bodies. If a person has obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety, or depression, they are likely to be locked in a negative thinking cycle (Altmann et al., 2021). CBT and psychodynamic psychotherapy differ significantly in how they approach the ensuing problem.
If they are seeking for a long-term solution to their difficulties, psychodynamic psychotherapy may be beneficial. "The archaeology of the human mind" is the finest approach to define psychodynamic psychotherapy. Concentrate on assisting clients in exploring and gaining insight into the sources of their problems so that they may handle their own concerns as they occur....
