"Psychoanalytic Session" Video
Chapter 2- Psychoanalysis

This video demonstrates the free association technique as described in chapter two. It shows the client laying on the couch with the therapist sitting out of the view. In this video the therapist does not speak much, except to clarify details of the client's experiences and thoughts. 

The other technique demonstrated in this video is dream analysis. As the client explains her dream, the therapist interprets some of the details and symbols from the client's dream. The therapist, also, once again does not speak much except for clarifications. Towards the end of the session the therapist begins to associate some of the details in the client's dreams as she mentions some of her current feelings. This exhibits how the therapist may help the client connect her unconscious thoughts with her conscious thoughts.
