What is psychoanalysis?
What will be an ideal response?
Freud founded psychoanalysis, a treatment approach that focuses on the unconscious mind and "talking therapy". According to Freud, the unconscious part of the mind acts as a repository of hidden feelings, thoughts, drives, and memories that can motivate sexual behavior. He believed that talking could cure all sexual symptoms and mental illness. Freud's clinical method examined the sexual thoughts and unconscious mind of his patients, including their dreams and sexual fantasies. He also used hypnosis as a tool for helping his patients reach their unconscious motives, including their incestuous desires, which Freud believed to be the normal expression of early childhood sexual attraction toward opposite-sex parents.
