This workshop will explore whether a standard model exists in psychoanalytic practice. Traditional approaches, like the use of the couch and frequent sessions, are often seen as defining features, yet clinicians admit to using more flexible methods. The boundaries between psychoanalysis, psychoanalytic psychotherapy, and psychodynamic counselling are increasingly blurred – are such strict distinctions necessary? The session will consider whether psychoanalysis needs a standard model or would benefit from a more adaptive, pluralistic approach, and how might strict adherence to tradition limit responsiveness to individual client needs, evolving social contexts and diverse client presentations?
