This worksheet is grounded in psychodynamics and cognitive-behavioral theories. Psychodynamic perspectives explore potential unconscious conflicts or trauma contributing to dissociative amnesia, aiming to uncover underlying emotional experiences.
Meanwhile, cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying and modifying thought patterns and behaviors associated with memory lapses, promoting adaptive coping strategies. Together, these theories inform a comprehensive framework for understanding and addressing dissociative amnesia in a client-centered manner.
