The neo-analytic theoretical approach of Ego Psychology in therapy aims to help the individual understand the relationship between their ego relates, their personal relationships, and their environment in shaping their personality. It brings out the unconscious self and helps individuals identify behavioral patterns that affect how they relate to others and situations. This is important to help an individual reflect on themselves, build healthy relationships with the people around them and their environment, and have a high sense of self (Rabstejnek & Kohut, 2020). | Therapy from the perspective of Jungian therapy is based on the objective analysis of the unconscious self and how it influences behavior and relationships (Bologna et al., 2020). Therapy based on the Jungian theory adopts an objective analysis of dreams to determine their meanings, majorly the relationship between the dream and the ego (Roesler, 2020). Jungian therapy aims to help the client to identify and connect with the deeply rooted emotions, thoughts, and other factors that influence the development of the divine self and help them use such connections to better themselves. | Therapy based on Individual Psychology aims to support a client working towards their life goals as well as seeking to grow their social connections. Individual psychology can help achieve these goals as it focuses on the basic desire to belong and the importance of belonging and engaging in constructive actions (Sperry & Sperry, 2020). The theory can support clients to positively contribute to personal and social growth as well as build themselves towards personal happiness.

Identify at least two techniques for each theory and the benefit to the client. (75-100 words each) | Technique 1: Dream analysis
Technique 2: Transference Benefit to the Client: Dream analysis and transference techniques are beneficial to the client in various ways. Dream analysis can help the client understand the meaning of the subconscious imagery of the dream world and how it manifests itself in the awake world. Transference helps the client reflect on themselves and gain a sense of self-value. The techniques of Self-Psychology applied in therapy are beneficial to individuals with self-image issues, improve their self-esteem, and help them manage self-image-related mental health issues (Zhang, 2020). |
Technique 1: Dream analysis
Technique 2: Word association Benefit to the Client: Jungian therapy benefits clients who have a goal to explore themselves further and achieve personal growth. The techniques enable the client to understand what their unconscious self is trying to tell their conscious self. Dream analysis can help the client to understand and relate different meanings of their dreams and how they may relate to certain unresolved emotional and psychological issues (Roesler, 2020). Therefore, through this understanding, the client can resolve such issues. |
Technique 1: Socratic dialogue
Technique 2: Engagement Benefit to the Client: The techniques of Individual Psychology therapy help the client understand how to belong and grow relationships within their social environment, from the family outward (Sperry & Sperry, 2020). The therapy gives individuals hope, faith, and love (Mosak & Bluvshtein, 2019). This helps clients overcome feelings of inferiority and related behaviors. The individual can then be focused on their happiness and develop attitudes that are focused on doing what benefits society. |
