Through understanding these connections and patterns therapy can: 1-bring relief 2-reduce confusion about what helps and what doesn’t 3-identify changes that can be made in your life 4-help you come to terms with what can’t be changed 5-Psychoanalysis is based on the modern developments of the theories of Sigmund Freud. Freud believed that bad thoughts and experiences from childhood are repressed but continue to influence your feelings as an adult.n add any service you want or edit the ones that are already listed. Who it’s for Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is for adults experiencing psychological problems. Issues we can help with Psychoanalytic psychotherapy can help with a range of psychological problems, particularly difficulties that can impact on relationships: depression anxiety disorders relationship difficulties post traumatic difficulties couple difficulties personality difficulties Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is not recommended for psychotic illness, but can be very helpful in relapse prevention and when a psychotic episode has come to an end. Length of treatment Psychoanalytic psychotherapy sessions last for 50 minutes. They usually take place twice a week, but sometimes more frequently. Within the Trauma Service this treatment is usually offered at fortnightly intervals. Treatment usually lasts for one year, but can vary from four sessions to two years. Patients are seen on their own at the same time and in the same room, as this consistency helps people get the most out of their treatment. Consultation People only enter psychoanalytic psychotherapy after a detailed consultation, which takes place over two to six meetings. During consultation we try to get to know you and get a picture of your difficulties. This is called brief psychotherapy and we offer it to everyone. The consultation gives you and your therapist an idea of whether talking to someone in this way is going to help you or not. At the end of the consultation your therapist helps you to think about the most appropriate treatment for you. If you are offered psychoanalytic psychotherapy, you may have to wait for a treatment vacancy to become available. If you do have to wait, your therapist helps you access appropriate support during this time. Therapy sessions Psychoanalytic psychotherapists wait for you to talk. This can feel like silence, but it doesn’t mean the therapist is unhelpful. The therapist is interested in what’s on your mind. As a session develops this includes possible feelings about the therapist. There are no expectations and you are free to talk about whatever is on your mind. The therapist tries to understand and point out particular difficulties in talking or thinking about certain things. Although we know that it’s helpful to talk, we also know it’s not always easy. It’s important to understand what might get in the way. Psychoanalytic psychotherapists often have couches in their therapy rooms, as some people find it easier to talk whilst lying on the couch. This is personal choice. Effectiveness Research shows that psychoanalytic psychotherapy is effective in the treatment of both mild and complex mental health problems. Studies show that psychotherapy in addition to antidepressant medication significantly reduces depressive symptoms, compared to antidepressants alone. Studies also show that for somatic disorders short term psychoanalytic therapy can be more effective than other therapies. Somatic disorders are physical complaints that initially appear to be medical but after investigation can’t be explained with a medical diagnosis. Risks and side effects Talking and thinking about emotional problems can be difficult. For this reason some people can feel worse before they feel better. We work with you to manage strong emotional reactions. Sometimes this kind of therapy can make people feel too angry or makes their depression worse, or some can feel too criticized. It can be painful to face the past and the truth, but this has its limits and the therapist respects that. The therapist also has their limits on what they can understand and help with.

F.A.Q

Psychoanalytic therapy is a form of talk therapy based on Sigmund Freud's theories of psychoanalysis. The approach explores how the unconscious mind influences your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Specifically, it examines how your experiences (often from childhood) may be contributing to your current experience and actions. Psychoanalytic approaches to emotional disorders have advanced a great deal since Freud's time.
Freud described the unconscious as the reservoir of desires, thoughts, and memories that are below the surface of conscious awareness. He believed that these unconscious influences could often lead to psychological distress and disturbances.

What makes psychoanalytic therapy different from other forms of treatment? A review of the research comparing psychoanalytic approaches to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) identified seven features that set the psychoanalytic approach apart.2
  • Focuses on emotions. Where CBT is centered on cognition and behaviors, psychoanalytic therapy explores the full range of emotions that a patient is experiencing.
  • Explores avoidance. People often avoid certain feelings, thoughts, and situations they find distressing. Understanding what a client is avoiding can help both the psychoanalyst and the client understand why such avoidance comes into play.
  • Identifies recurring themes. Some people may be aware of their self-destructive behaviors but unable to stop them. Others may not be aware of these patterns and how they influence their behaviors.
  • Exploration of past experienced. Other therapies often focus more on the here-and-now, or how current thoughts and behaviors influence how a person functions. The psychoanalytic approach helps people explore their pasts and understand how it affects their present psychological difficulties. It can help patients shed the bonds of past experience to live more fully in the present.
  • Explores interpersonal relationships. Through the therapy process, people are able to explore their relationships with others, both current and past.
  • Emphasizes the therapeutic relationship. Because psychoanalytic therapy is so personal, the relationship between the psychoanalyst and the patient provides a unique opportunity to explore and reword relational patterns that emerge in the treatment relationship.
  • Free-flowing. Where other therapies are often highly structured and goal-oriented, psychoanalytic therapy allows the patient to explore freely. Patients are free to talk about fears, fantasies, desires, and dreams.
As with any approach to mental health treatment, psychoanalytic therapy can have its pluses and minuses. Before deciding on this approach, it's important to take these factors into account.
  • Psychoanalytic therapy may be used to treat a number of different psychological conditions, including:
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Emotion struggles or trauma
  • Identity problems
  • Self-esteem issues
  • Self-assertion
  • Psychosomatic disorders
  • Relationship issues
  • Self-destructive behavior
  • Sexual problems
People undergoing psychoanalytic therapy often meet with their psychoanalyst at least once a week. They can remain in therapy for months or even years.
Psychoanalysts use a variety of techniques to gain insight into your behavior. Some of the more popular techniques include:
  • Dream interpretation: According to Freud, dream analysis is by far the most important psychoanalytic technique. He often referred to dreams as "the royal road to the unconscious." 1 Psychoanalysts may interpret dreams to get insight into the workings of your unconscious mind.
  • Free association: Free association is an exercise during which the psychoanalyst encourages you to freely share your thoughts. This can lead to the emergence of unexpected connections and memories.
  • Transference: Transference occurs when you project your feelings about another person onto the psychoanalyst. You'll then interact with them as if they were that other person. This technique can help your psychoanalyst understand how you interact with others.
Psychoanalysts spend a lot of time listening to people talk about their lives, which is why this method is often referred to as "the talking cure."

One review of the effectiveness of long-term psychoanalytic therapies found moderate to large success rates for reducing symptoms of a variety of psychopathologies.
A 2021 review of studies found that short-term psychoanalytic therapy led to lasting improvements in somatic symptoms, depressive symptoms, and anxiety symptoms.

People who receive psychoanalytic treatment tend to retain these gains. Most continue to improve even after therapy ends. On the other hand, the benefits of other evidence-based therapies tend to diminish over time.
A 2010 review published in the American Psychologist suggested that psychoanalytic therapy was as effective as other evidence-based therapies.


Success often hinges on the ability to confront potentially stressful or triggering experiences. While some critics have derided the success rates of psychoanalytic therapy, research suggests that both long- and short-term psychoanalytic therapy can effectively treat a range of conditions.3
Long-term psychoanalytic therapy is usually defined as lasting one year or 50 sessions. Short-term psychoanalytic therapy, on the other hand, is defined as fewer than 40 sessions or less than one year of treatment.
