Psychoanalysis
  • 1. Psychoanalysis is a psychological theory and therapy that aims to explore the unconscious mind in order to understand and treat mental disorders. Developed by Sigmund Freud, psychoanalysis involves techniques such as free association, dream analysis, and transference to help patients gain insight into their thoughts and behaviors.
