Thomas Ogden

Thomas Ogden is a British psychoanalyst known for his work on mental health and psychotherapy. He developed influential concepts such as the "analytic third," which describes a shared unconscious space created between therapist and patient, and "dreamwork," a method for understanding the unconscious mind through dreams. Ogden emphasizes the importance of relational and emotional processes in therapy, advocating for a deeper exploration of the unconscious to foster healing and self-awareness. His contributions have shaped modern psychoanalytic practice, highlighting the interactive and dynamic nature of therapeutic relationships.
