Psychodynamics: On the Other Hand . . .

     I think that one disadvantage to psychodynamics (and indeed psychoanalysis) is that the client must be taught or persuaded in the craft. To think psychodynamically is probably not normal for most people. Thinking about thoughts strictly comes somewhat naturally, especially to people of higher cognitive level. With this in mind, it is simple to understand the hesitancy of many clients to want to engage in such therapy. Additionally, the general fear of the unknown would disallow many people to expand outside of their comfort zone, in order to integrate such a method into their being.
