The Psycho-dynamic Model
The Psycho-dynamic model suggests the common interpretations that aim to explain the etiology of addiction. This model was introduced by Sigmund Freud who aimed to study psychological factors including human behaviors and the relationship of unconscious and conscious functions of human beings. The reason for the development of this model by Freud was his interest in the theory of thermodynamics. The psycho-dynamic model includes cognitive behavioral patterns and individualistic learning approaches. Furthermore, it also based on the varying personality traits of individuals as a result of the external and internal environment. This model also emphasizes the basic attachment problems relating it to pathology and this is considered to be a symptom of basic pathology. Individuals get addicted to the drug to avoid distress and sometimes for their pleasure and entertainment. Due to these actions, there are likely chances that an individual may get physically independent.
To treat such mental disorders, psychologists or psychiatrists are approached. However, during the counseling of a person suffering from mental disorders, there may occur some professional issues. One such issue may be the privacy concern of individuals. For the treatment of mental disorders, there has to be a detailed knowledge of the patients or individuals. During the counseling sessions of individuals, there are likely chances that they may not answer the questions because of their privacy concerns and feel threatened. There has to be appropriate communication between individuals and professionals to ensure quality care and recommendations. If not treated properly, individuals may develop some other problem. Moreover, there are likely chances of adverse outcomes. Lack of communication can hinder the treatment of individuals because of unknown reasons that the professional does not know. A professional, during counseling, has to know about the medical and family backgrounds of individuals coming for the sessions for the purpose of quality care and counseling.
