psychoanalysis





















































psychoanalysis is a set of theories and therapeutic techniques related to the study of the unconscious mind, which together form a method of treatment for mental-health disorders. the discipline was established in the early 1890s by austrian neurologist sigmund freud and stemmed partly from the clinical work of josef breuer and others. psychoanalysis was later developed in different directions, mostly by students of freud such as alfred adler and carl gustav jung, and by neo-freudians such as erich fromm, karen horney and harry stack sullivan. freud retained the term "psychoanalysis" for his own school of thought.
