Clinical practice in psychoanalysis

Clinical practice in psychoanalysis involves a therapist working with a patient to explore unconscious thoughts, feelings, and conflicts that influence behavior and emotions. Through regular sessions, the patient discusses their experiences, dreams, and inner thoughts, while the therapist helps uncover underlying patterns and issues. The goal is to increase self-awareness, resolve internal conflicts, and promote emotional well-being. Psychoanalysis emphasizes understanding the root causes of psychological difficulties, often by examining past experiences and relationships, to facilitate personal growth and improve mental health.
