    itself is active, structured, time limited, and focused on current problems. As

    patients begin to think and act more realistically, their symptoms and behavior

    improve.2

    Interpersonal psychotherapy, a time-limited treatment for major depressive

    disorder. Interpersonal psychotherapy as useful for patients who face conflicts

    with significant others or who are having difficulty adjusting to a life transition.2

    Psychoanalytic psychotherapy can refer to a spectrum of talking therapies

    ranging from once-weekly face-to-face psychodynamic therapy all the way to full-

    blown five times weekly, on-the-couch psychoanalysis. Psychoanalytic

    psychotherapy is based on Sigmud Freud theory. Basic approach is focused on

    uncovering unconscious conflicts of the patients mental life. Basic technique is

    free association, with close attention paid to transference, countertransference,and

    resistance. Length of therapy varies from a few months to a few years. 5

    Psychoanalytic psychotherapies have been demonstrated to be highly effective

    and useful treatments for a wide range of disorders. Recent surveys suggest that

    psychoanalytic psychotherapy is still the major form of psychotherapy taught in

    training programs and the form of therapy that mental health professionals choose

    when they seek their own treatment.2 But, there are criticism for psychoanalytic

    psychotherapy. The main criticism of this type of therapy, is that it takes a long

    time. It is certainly not an easy task and is not a magical cure. It is a slow, gradual

    process. It can be uncomfortable as well as enriching and requires commitment to

    face and to work through difficult feelings.9

    Cause of that, the writer want to

    explore how the effectiveness of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.

    CHAPTER II

    CONTENT

    II.1 DEPRESSION

    A. DefinitionDepression is a common disorder with serious personal,

    interpersonal and societal consequences, affecting about 15% of the

    general population.1 Depression is a feeling state of dejection, sadness,

    or unhappiness, which may be brief in duration, and a clinical

    syndrome characterized by persistent sadness, profound

    discouragement, or despair which persists two weeks or more and is

    associated with a change from previous functioning.3

    B. Epidemiology and prevalenceWomen are twice as likely to suffer from depression, and

    symptoms generally increase with age. Recent studies suggest a rising

    incidence of depression in younger age groups, particularly young

    men, which may be linked to the relative rise in suicide rates.1

    i. GenderApproximately 15% of the general population report depressive

    symptoms, with 10% of primary care consultations being due to

    depressive disorders. Most crosscultural community surveys have

    found major depressive disorder to be about twice as prevalent in

    women as in men, the lifetime prevalence being approximately

    20% compared to 10%, respectively.1

    ii. AgeIn the elderly there appears to be a leveling out of the gender

    difference for major depression, although the overall prevalence

  • 8/7/2019 tugas punya saya

    4/22

    4

    of depressive symptoms appears to increase with age. Several

    studies suggest a rising incidence of depression in younger age

    groups, particularly in young men, which may be linked to the

    relative rise in suicide rates in this age group when compared to

    the declining rates in the general population. Major depression in

    childhood is no longer considered rare, the point prevalence in

    children lying in the range 0.52.5%. Depression is notably more

    common in adolescents than in younger children, having an

    average period prevalence of around 34%.4

    C. EtiologyDepression has many causes which include such as genetic factors,

    neurotransmitter disturbances and psychosocial factors.

    i. Genetic FactorGenetic influences are most marked in patients with more severe

    forms of depressive disorder and biological symptoms. Potential

    genetic markers for affective disorders have been localized to

    chromosomes X, 4, 5, 11, 18 and 21.

    2

    ii. Neurotransmitter Disturbance

    There is evidence that abnormalities in the level or function of the

    serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT), norepinephrine and

    dopamine neurotransmitters acting on central nervous system

    neurons may be important in the pathophysiology of depression,

    although this evidence is inconclusive. The results of

    neuroendocrine studies suggest that depression is associated with

    decreased neurotransmission at postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptors.

    Many antidepressants are thought to produce their therapeutic

    effects by acting upon these postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptors.

    Depression is also associated with increased 24-h

    adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) levels, as well as elevated

  • 8/7/2019 tugas punya saya

    5/22

    5

    urinary and plasma cortisol levels. Abnormalities of

    noradrenergic and dopaminergic neurotransmission are also

    important in the etiology of depression. Animal studies suggest

    norepinephrine plays a major role in maintaining arousal and

    drive.2

    iii. Psychosocial FactorLow self-esteem, an obsessional personality, the experience of

    adversity in childhood and maladaptive negative patterns of

    thinking about oneself and others, are all recognized psychologic

    risk factors for depression. Other factors include excessive

    undesirable recent life events, usually involving loss (such as

    bereavement, divorce and redundancy), and persisting major

    difficulties, including being a lone parent, overcrowding,

    prolonged unemployment, poverty and lack of social support or

    intimacy.4

    D. DiagnosisBased on PPDGJ-III, diagnostic criteria for depression (F32) is

    consist of major and minor symptoms.

    Major symptoms include :

    y Depressed mood to a degree that is definitely abnormalfor theindividual, present for most of the day and almost every day,

    largely uninfluenced by circumstances and sustained for at

    least 2 weeks.

    y Loss of interest or pleasure in activities that are normallypleasurable.

    y Decreased energy or increased fatiquability.Minor symptoms include :

    y Loss of confidence or self esteemy Unreasonable feelings of self-reproach or excessive and

    inappropriate guilt

    6

    y Recurrent thoughts of death or suicide, or any suicidalbehaviour

    y Complaints or evidence of diminished ability to thick orconcentrate, such as indecisiveness or vacillation

    y Change in psychomotor activity, with agitation or retardation(either subjective or objective)

    y Sleep disturbance of any typey Change in appetite (decrease or increase) with corresponding

    weight change

    There are 4 stage of depression include mild depression (F32.0),

    moderate depression (F32.1), severe depression without psychotic

    features (F32.2) and severe depression with psychotic features

    (F32.3).

    Mild depression (F32.0)

    At least 2 major symptoms with at least 2 minorsymptoms

    No severe symptoms (in singular) The period of symptoms must be at least 2 weeks Little disturbance in everyday activity

    Moderate depression (F32.1)

    At least 2 major symptoms with at least 3 (4 is morepreferred) minor symptoms

    The period of symptoms must be at least 2 weeks Visible disturbance in everyday activity

    Severe depression without psychotic features (F32.2)

    All major symptoms with at least 4 minor symptoms The period of symptoms must be at least 2 weeks Impossibility in conducting daily activity (suicide

    ideation alone may contribute to severe depression)

    Severe depression with psychotic features (F32.3)

    All major symptoms with at least 4 minor symptoms

    Research has shown that medication alone and combination

    treatment are both effective in reducing the rate of depressive

    recurrences in older adults. Psychotherapy alone also can be effective

    in prolonging periods free of depression, especially for older adults

    with minor depression, and it is particularly useful for those who are

    unable or unwilling to take antidepressant medication.7

    a. MedicationThe available antidepressants differ in their pharmacology, drug-

    drug interactions, and short- and long-term adverse effects. They

    do not differ in overall efficacy, speed of response, or long-term

    effectiveness. For those with atypical features, strong evidence

    indicates that tricyclic drugs are less effective than the

    monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). There is some

    suggestion of efficacy for the selective serotonin reuptake

    inhibitors (SSRIs) in atypical depression.2

    b. PsychotherapyThe objectives of formal psychotherapy used alone to treat mood

    disorders are identical to those for medication: (1) symptom

    remission; (2) psychosocial restoration; and (3) prevention of

    relapse or recurrence. When used in combination with

    medication, psychotherapies can achieve such additional

    objectives as reducing the secondary psychosocial consequences

    of the disorder.2

    Cognitive therapy may be slightly less effective in those with

    more-dysfunctional attitudes, while interpersonal psychotherapy

    may be somewhat less effective in those with more-interpersonal

    problems. Time-limited therapies are usually preferred over time-

    unlimited therapies for symptom reduction because they have

    established efficacy (time-unlimited therapies do not) and because

    medication is an effective alternative if psychotherapy alone fails.

    Some believe that reconstructive (time-unlimited)

  • 8/7/2019 tugas punya saya

    9/22

    9

    psychotherapies are more useful in the treatment of Axis II

    disorders.2

    c. Combined treatmentMedication and formal psychotherapy are often combined in

    practice, yet data from randomized controlled trials suggest that

    the combination does not predictably add to the symptom-

    reducing effects of either treatment alone, at least in less complex,

    chronically ill patients. Conversely, the combination may result in

    both symptom reduction and psychosocial restoration, which is an

    additional rationale for using the combined approach.2

    d. Electroconvulsive therapyECT is effective, even in patients who have failed to respond to

    one or more medications or combined treatment. It is effective in

    both psychotic and nonpsychotic forms of depression. Usually, 8

    to 12 treatments are needed.2

    II.2 PSYCHOTHERAPY

    The kind of psychotherapy such as psychoanalytic, psychoanalytic

    psychotherapy, behavior therapy, cognitive therapy, interpersonal therapy,

    family therapy, etc.

    A. Psychoanalytic and psychoanalytic psychotherapyFormal psychoanalysis, usually involving four or five sessions a week

    with the patient reclining on a couch, is taught in psychoanalytic

    institutes throughout the country. During his life, Sigmund Freud

    (18561939), the founder of psychoanalysis, predicted that the

    principles of the talking cure would ultimately be adapted into

    forms of psychotherapy. With some trepidation, he recognized that the

    pure gold offered by psychoanalysis would ultimately be alloyed

    with the copper of suggestion.

  • 8/7/2019 tugas punya saya

    10/22

    10

    Developments in the field since Freud's death suggest that his

    trepidation was perhaps unwarranted. Psychoanalytic psychotherapies

    have been demonstrated to be highly effective and useful treatments

    for a wide range of disorders. Recent surveys suggest that

    psychoanalytic psychotherapy is still the major form of psychotherapy

    taught in training programs and the form of therapy that mental health

    professionals choose when they seek their own treatment. This

    modality usually takes place anywhere from one to three times per

    week, with the patient and therapist sitting face to face. This type of

    psychotherapy goes by a variety of names, including expressive

    psychotherapy, expressive-supportive psychotherapy, insight-oriented

    psychotherapy, intensive psychotherapy, and exploratory

    psychotherapy. In addition, a variation known as psychoanalytically or

    psychodynamically informed supportive psychotherapy is also widely

    practiced.2

    B. Behavior therapyBehavior therapy involves changing what patients do, to improve their

    health. Behavior therapy includes a methodology, referred to as

    behavior analysis, for the strategic selection of behaviors to change

    and a technology to bring about behavior change, such as modifying

    antecedents or consequences or giving instructions. Behavior therapy

    is based on learning theory, especially operant and classical

    conditioning. Behavior therapy is more useful for phobia, compulsive,

    psychophysiologic reaction and sexual disfunction.2

    C. Cognitive therapyCognitive therapy employs specific treatment strategies to correct

    these habitual thinking errors found in different psychopathological

    states. Treatment employs a combination of verbal interventions and

    behavior modification techniques. The therapy itself is active,

  • 8/7/2019 tugas punya saya

    11/22

    11

    structured, time limited, and focused on current problems. As patients

    begin to think and act more realistically, their symptoms and behavior

    improve.Cognitive therapy has been used successfully in the treatment

    of depressive disorders, anxiety disorders (e.g. phobias, panic

    disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder) eating disorders, substance

    abuse, & personality disorders.2

    D. Interpersonal therapyInterpersonal psychotherapy, a time-limited treatment for major

    depressive disorder, was developed in the 1970s. The American

    Psychiatric Association (APA) Practice Guideline for Major

    Depressive Disorder in Adults describes interpersonal psychotherapy

    as useful for patients who face conflicts with significant others or who

    are having difficulty adjusting to a life transition. The clinical practice

    guidelines for treatment of depression in primary care settings

    recommended interpersonal psychotherapy for short-term treatment of

    nonpsychotic depression, to remove symptoms, prevent relapse and

    recurrence, correct causal psychological problems with secondary

    symptom resolution, and correct secondary consequences of

    depression.2

    III.3 PSYCHOANALYTIC

    A. HistoryTerm psychoanalysis is used to refer to a theory of the mind, a

    procedure or method of inquiry, and a type of treatment. Technique

    Freud's early use of hypnosis was profoundly influenced by his friend

    and older colleague, Josef Breuer, a Viennese internist. In his work

    with Anna O., Breuer had discovered that when his patient was placed

    in a hypnotic trance, her symptoms disappeared as a consequence of

  • 8/7/2019 tugas punya saya

    12/22

    12

    their verbal expression. Anna O. dubbed this treatment the talking

    cure. Freud felt he should be more fully trained in hypnotic

    techniques, so he spent the year 1885 to 1886 with the French

    neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot at the Salpetrire in Paris. When

    Freud opened his practice back in Vienna in 1887, he used hypnosis to

    remove symptoms through suggestion. His results with this technique

    were less than encouraging, so he shifted to the cathartic method

    based on Breuer's account of his treatment of Anna O.2

    B. Theory of PsychoanalyticSigmund Freud said that psychoanalysis was three things :

    y A theory of how the mind works. Psychoanalysis attempts tounderstand and explain the normal and the abnormal functioning of

    the human mind at all ages. Many of the central psychoanalytic

    conceptsthe unconscious, psychic determinism, infantile

    sexuality and the theory of drives, the Oedipus complex,

    ambivalence, anxiety, the defense mechanisms, psychic conflict,

    the structure of the mind or of the psychic apparatusform a bodyof scientific knowledge that has now become part of our

    intellectual heritage.

    y An investigative or research method. The technique of freeassociation by the patient (analysand) makes it possible for the

    analyst to gain access to the data and processes of mental life,

    conscious or otherwise and rational or not. The data thus retrieved

    are rendered coherent and intelligible according to the theory of

    psychoanalysis.

    y A specific form of therapy of mental illness. Psychoanalysis usesfree association to obtain data in the form of thoughts, feelings,

    memories, fantasies, and dreams and then proceeds to order and

    comprehend the data within the framework of psychoanalytic

  • 8/7/2019 tugas punya saya

    13/22

    13

    theory. Through interpretation of psychic data, leading to insight

    and working through, the treatment process is carried

    progressively forward.

    C. Phases of the Analytic ProcessThe analytic process has traditionally been divided into three phases,

    include :

    1. Opening phaseThe patient's establishment of a therapeutic alliance with the

    analyst, involves developing trust and a willingness to work

    collaboratively with the analyst in the pursuit of understanding.

    The opening phase also provides a chance for patients to tell their

    story or free-association.2

    2. Middle phasePhsycoanalytic technique, include :

    - TransferenceTransference refers to the displacement onto the analyst of

    attitudes and feelings originally experienced in relationships

    with people from the past. Transference patterns appear

    automatically and unconsciously in the analytic relationship.

    Analysands suddenly find themselves reacting to the analyst

    with intense feelings that are inappropriate, at least in part, to

    the current situation. Patients unconsciously reenact a past

    relationship instead of remembering and verbalizing it.

    - InterpretationInterpretation is one of the analyst's primary therapeutic

    instruments in psychoanalysis. It involves an explanatory

    statement by the analyst that links a symptom, thought, feeling,

    or behavior to its unconscious meaning. It is the vehicle by

    which the analyst delivers understanding to the patient. In the

    ideal situation, interpretation is designed to make the patient

  • 8/7/2019 tugas punya saya

    14/22

    14

    consciously aware of unconscious (or preconscious) material

    that is close to the surface of consciousness.

    - CountertransferenceCountertransference is the analyst's transference to the patient.

    Freud viewed it as interfering with the analyst's optimal

    functioning, and he issued a command that the analyst shall

    recognize this counter-transference in himself and overcome

    it.

    The conceptualization of countertransference as stemming

    from the analyst's unconscious conflicts displaced onto the

    patient.

    - ResistanceResistance is inevitably encountered in any long-term

    psychodynamic treatment.4 They manifest themselves in every

    aspect of the patient's behavior and associations and may take

    a variety of forms, including falling asleep during sessions,

    forgetting the analyst's observations, withholding important

    thoughts and feelings from the analyst, demanding symptom

    relief instead of understanding from the analyst, falling silent

    during the sessions, failing to pay the bill, and even free

    associating so literally that none of the material is connected or

    used constructively to produce understanding.2

    3. Termination phasePhase of analysis requires that the patient mourn and give up

    infantile attachments to parental figures at the same time that the

    loss of the analyst as a real person is being mourned. Autonomy,

    independence, and development of the capacity for continuing

    self-analysis are also prominent issues to be addressed during the

    termination phase.2

    15

    III.4 PSYCHOANALYTIC PSYCHOTHERAPY

    The term psychoanalytic psychotherapy can refer to a spectrum of

    talking therapies ranging from once-weekly face-to-face psychodynamic

    therapy all the way to full-blown five times weekly, on-the-couch

    psychoanalysis.6 Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is based on the observation

    that we sometimes try to deal with problems by trying to keep them out of

    our mind as a way of getting rid of them. However, they will continue to

    have an important effect on our feelings and behaviour. Early experiences

    are important in shaping the way the mind works but a large part of our

    mind operates outside of our consciousness. From an early age, we find

    ways of managing our experiences and this influences how we cope in

    later life.5

    The relationship with the therapist is an important part of the

    therapy. He or she offers a confidential, safe and private place where the

    unconscious patterns of our inner world can be played out. The safe setting

    that they create means that emotional conflicts can be relived and new

    solutions can be found to old problems. This process helps us to identify

    those patterns of behaviour, which we keep repeating.

    5

    Seven features reliably distinguished psychodynamic therapy from

    other therapies, include (1) focus on affect and expression of emotion, (2)

    exploration of attempts to avoid distressing thoughts and feelings, (3)

    identification of recurring themes and patterns. (4) discussion of past

    experience (developmental focus), (5) focus on interpersonal relations, (6)

    focus on the therapy relationship.

    E. Efficacy of Psychoanalytic PsychotherapyMeta-analytical studies of psychotherapy have demonstrated

    unequivocally that psychotherapy is effective (Luborsky et al., 1975;

    Smith et al., 1980; Lambert et al., 1986). The study by Smith and

    coworkers (1980), for example, demonstrated that 80% of those

    patients treated in psychotherapy fared better on outcome measures

    than those who received no treatment. Luborsky and coworkers (1993)

    have demonstrated that psychoanalytic psychotherapy is as effective as

    cognitive, behavioral, experiential, and group therapies and

    hypnotherapy.3

    Treatment length was also positively correlated with better

    outcomes. Another study showed that intensive psychoanalytic

    psychotherapy four times a week was more effective in treating

    children with learning difficulties than once-a-week sessions.

    While psychoanalytic psychotherapy is often thought to be

    prohibitively expensive, this study of patients with borderline

    personality disorder suggests that in many cases providing such

    treatment is highly cost-effective. Borderline patients tend to use up a

    great many health care dollars in visits to emergency rooms, visits to

    other medical specialists, psychiatric hospitalization, and various

    diagnostic workups. There is considerable cost savings in providing

    regular therapy over an extended period of time. Almost all of the

    outcome measures included a reduction in overall expense as well. In

    other words, implied in the cost-offset notion is that treating mental

    illnesses is beneficial primarily because it reduces overall costs of

    other medical care.2

    CHAPTER III

    CONCLUSION

    Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is a technique for treating emotional and

    psychological problems called the 'talking cure'. Its aim is to try and understand

    difficulties that go on inside our minds, which often get in the way of our leading

    more fulfilling lives.6 Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is one of kind of therapy for

    depression patient.

    In order to do this people undertaking psychotherapy are offered a regular,

    reliable and confidential space which provides them with an opportunity to be as

    honest, and as spontaneous as possible about their thoughts, feelings and dreams.

    In return the therapist does not give advice but is non-judgemental and listens

    very carefully in order to help them think about and understand their experience.6

    Although, there are criticism of psychoanalytic psychotherapy such as the

    high cost and long time treatment, psychoanalytic psychotherapies have been

    demonstrated to be highly effective and useful treatments for a wide range of

    disorders, such as depression.2

    Based on study by Luborsky et al., 1975; Smith et

    al., 1980; Lambert et al., 1986 demonstrated that 80% of those patients treated in

    psychotherapy fared better on outcome measures than those who received no

    treatment.

    Long time treatment was also positively correlated with better outcomes.

    Intensive psychoanalytic psychotherapy more effective than others. Long time

    treatment psychoanalytic psychotherapy is often thought to be prohibitively

    expensive fee. But actually psychoanalytic psychotherapy is cheaper than other

    therapies. Many treatment such as visit the emergency room, medical specialist,

    hospitalization and various diagnostic workups is not only spend your money, but

    spend your time to work. In other words, implied in the cost-offset notion is that

    treating mental illnesses is beneficial primarily because it reduces overall costs of

    other medical care.2
