Question 1

Describe how a psychoanalytic therapist views early life experiences for individuals and how it impacts problematic or poor functioning.

Accepted Answer

Early life experiences impact personality development and functioning. The most impactful are those that are traumatic or relationships with caregivers early in life before one has the ability to cognitively process the emotional aspects of these experiences. They are stored in non-declarative or implicit memory outside of conscious awareness. When unconscious memories and their emotional counterparts begin to move into conscious awareness, individuals experience anxiety because it is difficult to verbally process, and therefore may develop defense mechanisms.

Question 2

Describe the BASK model.

Accepted Answer

The BASK model, created by Braun, indicates that individuals dissociate on a continuum from full awareness to fully dissociated or unconscious awareness. The level of dissociated awareness may impact one's behavior associated with the experience (B), their affect (A) associated with the experience, the bodily sensations (S) at the time, and/or knowledge (K) of an experience. It is suggested that memories may be dissociated on one of the four levels or any combination of the four levels.
