Article Review – “Future Project of

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy: Revisiting the


Debate Between Classical/Commitment and
Analytic Therapies” by Ryan LaMothe
Student’s Name
Institutional Affiliation
Article Overview
• The article reviews the differences/limitations amidst classical and analytic
therapies

• It also proposes future projects that can be adopted to trail psychoanalytic


therapies

• The population addressed by the article is sick people.

• Psychoanalysis offers patients a chance to understand their


conscious/unconscious motivations, explore childhood experiences, assess
positive/negative consequences of commitments, and invite others to a life
common to a particular community and its traditions.
Specific Intervention Used
• Specific intervention: Analysis of published works discussion of theories of Freud and Putman

• The intervention is not new but has been used in various researches/reviews.

• The article bases its arguments on qualitative research, relying on already published works

• The researchers refers to the arguments of Freud and Putman, in which Freud argued that
psychoanalysis is a science and analytic therapy is informative, while classical therapy is
transformative.

• Putman on the other hand argues that psychoanalysis should consider a patient’s communal
commitments.
Author’s Claims
• A “good enough” community is the basis for the development and
support of healthy lives and healing processes

• Consequently, anything undermining a community compromises lives


and adds desperation.

• The Author’s argue that psychoanalysis can provide patients with a


safe space to analyze their commitments to therapy.
Findings of the study
• There is a sharp division between classical and analytic therapies. However,
understanding their perspectives, strengths, and limitations is important to therapy
proposal
• Classical analysis facilitates patient’s improved freedom.

• Freedom from illusions and from neurosis should create a freedom to participate
in life-enhancing mutual commitments.
• The findings would translate into my future practice, as I will integrate projects of
psychoanalysis and insights of classical therapies based on theory and practice.
Study Limitations
• The limitations of the study is based on the methodology used in research.

• Overreliance on published works to support claims.

• Creating misleading conclusions influenced by researcher bias.

• The limitations impacts the capacity to use the findings, as researchers


may fail to analyze the practicality of their claims.
