The technique of psychoanalysis

Psychoanalysis is a therapeutic technique developed by Sigmund Freud that explores the unconscious mind to understand thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It involves talk therapy, where patients share their thoughts, dreams, and experiences. The therapist listens and helps identify patterns, unresolved conflicts, or repressed emotions. By bringing these elements to consciousness, individuals can gain insight into their problems, leading to personal growth and healing. The process often emphasizes the influence of early childhood experiences and unconscious motivations on current behavior.
