The therapist's goal to help Mr. Choi become aware of his conflicting childhood feelings of love and hate for his parents reflects a primary aim of psychoanalysis, which emphasizes bringing unconscious conflicts and repressed emotions to conscious awareness for therapeutic purposes. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive and empathetic therapeutic environment for clients to explore their own thoughts and feelings, while cognitive therapy focuses on changing negative thought patterns and beliefs. Systematic desensitization is a behavioral therapy technique used for treating phobias and anxiety disorders, and does not directly address conflicting emotions towards one's parents.
