Psykodynamiskt

Psykodynamiskt refers to a perspective in psychology that emphasizes the importance of unconscious psychological processes and past experiences in shaping an individual's behavior and emotional state. It is a broad theoretical framework that originated with Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theories and has since evolved and diversified. Key concepts within the psychodynamic perspective include the influence of the unconscious mind, the role of early childhood experiences in development, the impact of internal conflicts, and the significance of defense mechanisms used to manage anxiety.

Psychodynamic approaches often involve exploring the underlying, often unconscious, reasons for a person's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This can be done through various therapeutic modalities, such as psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy, where the therapist and client work collaboratively to uncover and understand these influences. The goal is often to gain insight into problematic patterns and to facilitate psychological change. While rooted in classical psychoanalysis, modern psychodynamic theories have incorporated insights from other psychological schools and research. The focus remains on the dynamic interplay of internal forces that drive human experience.
