Abstract
D.Ed.
The overall objective of this research is the description of an educational
psychological therapeutic approach for the use of educational psychologists in
private practice in the treatment of adolescents with emotional and behavioral
problems.Two research questions arose out of the need for the development of an
integrated educational psychological therapeutic approach, namely:
In what way can the educational psychological perspective, existentialphenomenological
psychology, transpersonal psychology and Medical
Hypnoanalitical approach be integrated in order to develop a holistic view of
humanity through which conscious and subconscious meanings in a person's
experience world (psychodynamic, perinatal and transpersonal experiences)
could be described to reflect the personal, unique, unrepeatable and original
qualities of the individual?
Based on the description of a holistic view of human nature which serves as
the foundation for the development of a therapeutic approach through which
the client with emotional and behavioral problems could be understood within
the referential framework of his own experiences, the researcher poses the
question: What constitutes the therapeutic approach through which the
therapist could gain insight into the conscious and subconscious meanings in
the experience world (psychodynamic, perinatal and transpersonal
experiences) of a person in order to address the true causes underlying the
pro lematic symptoms?
