About Psychoanalysis

The psychoanalytic framework stresses the importance of understanding:

  • that each individual is unique,
  • that there are factors outside of a person's awareness (unconscious thoughts, feelings and experiences) which influence his or her thoughts and actions,
  • that the past shapes the present
  • that human beings are always engaged in the process of development throughout their lives.   [Read more about psychoanalysis]
