| | Psychoanalysis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Behaviourism, evolutionary psychology, and cognitive psychology reject psychoanalysis as a pseudoscience. | | | Psychoanalysis is a family of psychological theories and methods based on the pioneering work of Sigmund Freud. | | | Psychoanalysis as a collection of clinical theories was recast as a theory of interpretation and development with a focus on understanding how the varieties of nonconscious dispositions and actions influence a person's life in the form of transference and resistance. |

| | Evolutionary psychoanalysis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Psychoanalysis, which is largely the study of human experience and meanings derived from introspection and empathic understanding of another (i.e., vicarious introspection) has been contrasted with the extrospective sciences and branded "unscientific" by some critics. | | | While evolutionary psychoanalysis does not present a new approach to the clinical practice of psychoanalysis (i.e., the provision of psychoanalytic treatment), it does have powerful implications for practicing analysts. | | | Within psychoanalysis, the evolutionary reframing of psychoanalytic observation in adaptive terms, has made a significant contribution to new integrations between competing analytic theories. |

| | Psychoanalysis in AllPsych Journal |
| | Psychoanalysis is a science because it is an attempt to understand human relations and behaviors. | | | Both are related to the sciences of the late nineteenth century: psychoanalysis as a development of neuroscience and psychology as a development of psychophysics, the study of human perception of the physical signals of sound and light (Schwartz 1999). | | | Psychoanalysis was adapted by a group of creative analysts to treat cases of the most serious mental distress, the psychoses, in large institutional settings, despite opposition from the Old World (Schwartz 1999). |

| | Psychoanalysis, name applied to a specific method of investigating unconscious mental processes and to a form of psychotherapy. | | | The technique of psychoanalysis and much of the psychoanalytic theory based on its application were developed by Sigmund Freud. | | | The term refers, as well, to the systematic structure of psychoanalytic theory, which is based on the relation of conscious and unconscious psychological processes. |

| | psychoanalysis on Encyclopedia.com |
| | Psychoanalysis and its theoretical underpinnings have had an enormous influence on modern psychology and psychiatry and in fields as diverse as literary theory, anthropology, and film criticism. | | | The basic postulate of psychoanalysis, the concept of a dynamic unconscious mind, grew out of Freud's observation that the physical symptoms of hysterical patients tended to disappear after apparently forgotten material was made conscious (see hysteria). | | | Psychoanalysis focused on early childhood, postulating that many of the conflicts which arise in the human mind develop in the first years of a person's life. |

| | Psychoanalysis is a deep, insight-oriented form of psychotherapy in which patient and analyst work together to explore conscious and unconscious factors that create unhappiness in the form of painful symptoms, difficulties in work and relationships, or disturbances in self-esteem. | | | When indicated, both psychoanalysis and psychotherapy may be combined with medications that can relieve debilitating physical symptoms of depression and anxiety, while the patient and analyst work together to achieve deep and lasting psychological change. | | | Psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy are intensive therapeutic relationships that provide unique opportunities to explore and understand an individual's emotional life in depth. |

| | Classic Article: Psychoanalysis |
| | It is enough to say that psychoanalysis, in its character of the psychology of the deepest, unconscious mental acts, promises to become the link between Psychiatry and all of these other fields of study. | | | Secondly, there is no reason for astonishment that psychoanalysis, which was originally no more than an attempt at explaining pathological mental phenomena, should have developed into a psychology of normal mental life. | | | In psychoanalysis, no less than in other sciences, the theory of instincts is an obscure subject. |

| | About Psychoanalysis: APsa |
| | As a therapy, psychoanalysis is based on the observation that individuals are often unaware of many of the factors that determine their emotions and behavior. | | | As a general theory of individual human behavior and experience, psychoanalytic ideas enrich and are enriched by the study of the biological and social sciences, group behavior, history, philosophy, art, and literature. | | | Whatever the modifications, the insights of psychoanalysis form the underpinnings of much of the psychotherapy employed in general psychiatric practice, in child psychiatry, and in most other individual, family, and group therapies. |

| | Psychoanalysis: From Theory to Practice, Past to Present |
| | The analyst and the patient develop an intimate relationship, which includes "transference," which is a process in which the patient develops a sort of parent-child relationship with the analyst, and therefore transfers the patient's old emotions with his or her actual parents onto the analyst. | | | First, psychoanalysis involves transference, in which the patient transfers emotions toward the parent onto the therapist. | | | It is true that Freud essentially considered psychoanalysis a pure science, but that is a view which has been superseded by the current view, which puts more emphasis on the issue of how fruitful psychoanalytic treatment is as a treatment. |

| | LRB Nicholas Spice : I must be mad |
| | The potency of psychoanalysis as a therapy lies in the way it exploits the emotional economy which Tonks describes, but from this exploitation also flow the tendency of psychoanalysis to methodological muddle and its potential for subtle forms of human abuse. | | | But if through psychoanalysis we learn that our most cherished realities are in important respects unreal, the practice of psychoanalysis has to keep reminding itself that what goes on in the consulting room is also in important respects real, that the unrealities of the transference relationship are framed by a real relationship between two people. | | | The peculiar inspiration of psychoanalysis was to invent a relationship which acted like a filter bed or alembic to isolate these 'unreal' elements in the patient's typical affective strategies. |

| | Freudian psychoanalysis, a related body of clinical technique, interpretive strategy, and developmental theory, was articulated piecemeal in dozens of publications by Sigmund Freud, spread over a period of forty-five years. | | | The practical impossibility of reliably distinguishing memory from wish in the unconscious points directly to central issues in psychoanalysis: the need for free association and extensive anamnesis in the context of a relationship between analyst and patient that allows continued study of the role of emotional needs in the memories and fantasies of each. | | | She maintained an intimate friendship with Jung for many years, trained in psychoanalysis with Freud, corresponded with both men during the crucial years of their friendship and subsequent alienation, and influenced Russian clinical psychology in the 1920s and '30s. |

| | The basic premise of psychoanalysis is that most psychological symptoms are the result of our unconsciously avoiding many of the unpleasant truths about ourselves. | | | Psychology has its roots in the academic study of animal and human perception, and in the early part of the 20th century it was first applied clinically as an aid to education. | | | Moreover, some psychologists who do not choose to pursue psychoanalytic training still choose a personal psychoanalysis as a way to prepare for being better able to serve their patients. |
