Psychoanalytical psychotherapy, or psychodynamic psychotherapy as it is also called, has its theoretical background in psychoanalysis and the idea is that the human being possesses an unconscious emotional life. It is furthermore presumed that the suffering one experiences and seeks help for, when initiating the therapy, has an implication. The suffering means something. Depression, obsession, relationship issues or whatever it may be – are all subjective problems and implicate inner conflicts and life problems which often have their origin in the person’s life history. Better chances to deal with one’s difficulties and to live life with more freedom of choice are acquired by becoming more aware of one’s emotional life, i.e. of the thoughts, conceptions and fears one possesses, which shape one’s view of the world and therefore how one lives one’s life in it. Inner and outer situations and conflicts can thus be dealt with in a new and more adequate way. To open up to one’s inner self and to understand it better, is psychoanalytical psychotherapy.
