In which condition doctor is passive
Correct Answer: Classical psychoanalysis
Description: Classical Psychoanalysis No detailed history taking, mental status examination, or formalised psychiatric diagnosis is attempted. The patient is allowed to communicate unguided, by using 'free association'. The therapist remains passive with a non-directive approach; however, the therapist constantly challenges the existing defences and interprets resistance (during the therapy) and transference (patient's feelings, behaviours and relationship with the therapist). No direct advice is ever given to the patient. The crux of the therapy is on interpretation. During the therapy, the patient typically lies on the couch, with the therapist sitting just out of vision. Ref: A Sho Textbook of Psychiatry, Niraj Ahuja, 7th Edition, pg. no. 213
