Psühhoanalüütilised

Psühhoanalüütilised refers to concepts, theories, and practices derived from psychoanalysis, a theory of the unconscious mind developed by Sigmund Freud. At its core, psychoanalysis posits that unconscious thoughts, feelings, and memories significantly influence behavior. This approach emphasizes the importance of early childhood experiences in shaping personality and psychological development.

Key psychoanalytic concepts include the id, ego, and superego, representing different aspects of the psyche. The id operates on the pleasure principle, seeking immediate gratification. The ego, guided by the reality principle, mediates between the id's desires and the external world. The superego represents internalized moral standards and ideals. Psychoanalytic theory also highlights defense mechanisms, unconscious strategies used by the ego to protect itself from anxiety.

Psychoanalytic therapy, often referred to as psychoanalysis, is a therapeutic approach that aims to bring unconscious material into conscious awareness. This is typically achieved through techniques like free association, dream analysis, and the interpretation of transference, where a patient's feelings towards significant figures in their past are projected onto the therapist. The goal is to gain insight into unresolved conflicts and alleviate psychological distress. While originating with Freud, psychoanalysis has evolved through the work of many subsequent theorists, leading to various schools of thought within the broader psychoanalytic tradition.
