Counseling psychology focuses on the emotional distress of people. Think about when you are depressed or upset. All you want to do is talk to someone about what's going on inside your head so that they will reassure you and make you feel better about the situation. When there are problems, you come up with excuses and reasons why things happened the way they did and most people tend to blame others or outside resources but never themselves.
Sometimes these outside things effect a persons reaction or attitude toward a certain event. Say for example a persons parents were never around while the child was growing up. They obviously wouldn't have a very good relationship. This could lead to the person having relationship issues. They are so used to being alone and ignored, so they don't know how to connect with a person. Counseling Psychologist are suppose to open the patients eyes to this and help them realize their issue so they can try to work on it and fix it if at all possible. This is why counseling and clinical psychologist are the most sought out for. Everyone has issues that they want help solving so they need these psychologists.
Freud was a very famous psychologist that usually focused on psychoanalysis. Psychoanalysis has three main parts:
1. a method of investigation of the mind and the way one thinks;
2. a systematized set of theories about human behavior;
3. a method of treatment of psychological or emotional illness.
Counseling psychologists have to figure out if a person had serious illnesses or the everyday case of confusion and need for help. It is the science of the mind. Counseling psychology is all about how people react to other people and how they react to certain events.
