Why Study Psychoanalysis?

Psychoanalysis and psychodynamic therapies originate from Freud’s groundbreaking contributions, which provided the foundation for many of today’s psychotherapeutic theories and treatments. Psychoanalytic therapies address how unconscious factors create difficulties that affect all aspects of our lives. The psychoanalytic process increases our self-awareness to improve the quality of our lives.
