MikhailSTRAKHOV M.D, psychologist, psychoanalyst |
At the European Medical Center we offer consultations and treatments for various psychosomatic conditions both in adults and children. Unfortunately,there is still some reluctance, associated with seeking help for emotional and mental problems, including depression. Unfortunately, feelings of depression often are viewed as a sign of weakness rather than as a signal that something is out of balance.
The fact is that people with psychosomatic disorders can not simply "snap out of it" and feel better spontaneously. The importance of obtaining quality professional health care can not be overemphasized. Our specialists are among the licensed and highly trained mental health providers with years of experience studying depression and offering competent care for: There are several approaches to psychotherapy - including cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, psycho-dynamic and other kinds of "talk therapy" - that help depressed individuals recover.
What is psychoanalysis?Psychoanalysis is a specific mind investigation technique and a therapy that helps people to identify the factors that contribute to their emotional state and to deal effectively with the psychological, behavioral, interpersonal and situational causes. The efficacy of psychotherapeutic treatments specific to depressive mood disorder has been shown to be comparable to that of pharmacologic treatments in alleviating symptoms of depression. In addition, these therapies reduce residual psychosocial impairments, improve psychosocial function, and prevent depression relapse. Depression-specific psychotherapeutic approaches include cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, behavioral, and short-term dynamic therapies, which are often integrated in clinical practice. Does psychoanalysis work with children?Child psychoanalysis, like the adult one offers empathic understanding, an opportunity to re-assess the usefulness of past solutions, and a chance to try some new ways of responding to the challenges which ordinary development brings our way. Children tend to express their sufferings in their behavioral patterns. The goal of psychotherapist is to decode those patterns and to help a little patient to find his place in life by providing him with the tools to try out new solutions to old problems. The efficacy of pshyhoanalisys with children has been proven by clinical studies. As a result of psychotherapy, in most cases mental and emotional well-being of children improves, their behavioral patterns are harmonized with an outside world. |
