Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both Heinz Kohut's contemporary psychodynamic therapy and humanistic psychotherapy believe in the importance of empathy and understanding in therapeutic interactions. They focus on establishing a strong therapeutic relationship and providing a supportive and non-judgmental environment for the patient to explore their thoughts and feelings. They do not necessarily believe that therapy should replace the patient's unhealthy childhood relationships or that repressed sexual motives are at the root of emotional disturbance. However, both therapies do aim to bring the patient's feelings into conscious awareness to facilitate personal growth and healing.
