Those who do not have a specific behavioral issue they wish to address and whose goals for therapy are to gain insight into the past may be better served by psychodynamic therapy.
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on exploring unconscious processes and past experiences to understand current behavior patterns, while cognitive-behavioral therapy focuses on changing negative thoughts and behaviors in the present moment. Psychodynamic therapy typically involves longer-term treatment, while cognitive-behavioral therapy is often more structured and focused on symptom relief in a shorter time frame.
Unlike psychodynamic therapies, it does not focus on uncovering or understanding the unconscious motivations that may be behind the maladaptive behavior.
The goal of psychodynamic therapy is to explore how past experiences and unconscious thoughts and emotions influence current behaviors and relationships. In contrast, the goal of cognitive-behavioral therapy is to help individuals identify and change unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress.
Both cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic therapy aim to help individuals understand and change their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Both types of therapy also involve exploring past experiences and their impact on current functioning. However, CBT tends to focus more on changing specific behaviors and thought patterns in the present, while psychodynamic therapy places more emphasis on exploring unconscious processes and relational patterns from the past.
Western models of psychotherapy are based on principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, humanistic therapy, and existential therapy. These models focus on understanding and addressing mental health issues through techniques such as changing thought patterns, exploring unconscious processes, emphasizing personal growth and self-awareness, and grappling with the meaning of existence.

In cognitive-behavioral therapy, the therapist works with the patient to identify the thoughts that are causing distress, and employs behavioral therapy techniques to alter the resulting behavior.
