Psychodynamic therapy is the idea that anxiety is seen as a symptom of an underling conflict. Also psychodynamic therapy seeks to bring unresolved past conflicts and unacceptable impulses from the unconscious into the conscious, where patients may deal with the problems more effectively. (Feldman,2010,pg.430) Psychodynamic therapy is based on the Freud’s psychodynamic approach to personality, which holds that the persons employ defense mechanisms. The most common defense mechanisms are repression, this would push threating impulses and conflicts back into the unconscious. A neurotic system is what Freud calls for a lot of anxiety that produces the unusual behavior, since it is impossible to bury conflict and impulses completely. Fraud wanted it to be possible to get rid of those unwanted conflicts and impulses by letting them out of the unconscious part of the brain and into the conscious part of the brain. Fraud wanted and assumed that this technique would help lesson anxiety so that these individuals would have a better and more effective life.

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), as its name suggests, blends the theoretical insights of both the behavioural and cognitive therapies. CBT’s origins can be dated back to Stoic, Taoist and Buddhist philosophies which link human emotions to thoughts and ideas (Beck et al, 1979). Modern CBT is psychologically based and historically can be linked to behavioural theories such as those developed by Pavlov (Classical conditioning, 1927) and Skinner (Operant conditioning, 1938). Learning theories also focused on how new learning occurs to provide associations between a ‘stimuli’ and a ‘response’ (Westbrook et al, 2011). Behavioural Therapy (BT) proved particularly effective in the treatment of anxiety disorders, particularly with specific phobias. However BT did not recognise the importance of the patient’s internal thoughts in relation the maintenance of the distress, and was proved to be ineffective in the treatment of depression (Fennell, 1999). It was in the 1960’s that treatment for depression was revised and ‘cognitive therapy’ was devised.…
