Describe how contemporary psychodynamic therapy differs from traditional
psychoanalysis.
What will be an ideal response?
The answer should focus on the shorter duration of the therapeutic process, the reduced
emphasis on sexuality as an important factor during development, the increased stress placed on
social and interpersonal experiences as important factors during development, the importance of
the client's present concerns and strivings (as opposed to only childhood experiences) in finding a
solution to his or her problems, and the role of the ego as an active agent (as opposed to being a
passive agent) in influencing the client's thoughts and actions.
