Psychoanalytic Approach: This approach developed by Sigmund Freud in the early 1900s, involves analyzing the root causes of behavior and feelings by exploring the unconscious mind and the conscious mind’s relation to it. Psychoanalysis can take on a variety of forms, varying from practitioner to practitioner.

  • Psychoanalytical and psychodynamic therapies are based on an individual’s unconscious thoughts and perceptions that have developed throughout their childhood, and how these affect their current behavior and thoughts.
  • Psychoanalysis focuses on an individual’s unconscious, deep-rooted thoughts that often stem from childhood. Through free association, dreams or fantasies, clients can learn how to interpret deeply buried memories or experiences that may be causing them distress.
  • The central hypothesis of Freudian psychoanalysis is that human behavior is determined largely by unconscious motives.
  • According to Freud, the unconscious contains repressed and unpleasant memories as these feelings might create pain or conflict, they are buried in the unconscious.
  • It is a cost-effective psychoanalytic therapy in a naturalistic clinical setting.
  • This theory helps in uncovering the roots of neurosis.
  • The term ‘neurosis’ means a personality or mental disturbance due to any neurological dysfunction. It includes anxiety, post-traumatic stress, compensation neurosis, depression, etc.
  • The theory focuses on the unconscious mind and states that childhood experiences shape how a person feels and behaves throughout life.
