CONCLUSION Psychoanalysis is a process of psychotherapy that focuses on helping individuals gain knowledge of their hidden inner conflicts and repressed wishes. The objective of Freudian psychoanalysis is to have an awareness of the unconscious mind to deal with behavioural issues in the current environment. The major methods that are followed are free associations, dream analysis, resistance and transference. Psychodynamic therapists view maladaptive behaviours as symptoms of an underlying conflict that have to be resolved if behavioural issues are to address.
