Psychoanalyse (griffbereit)

What happens in a psychoanalysis – retold. There are many misconceptions and even prejudices surrounding the oldest form of psychotherapy. In the new degree program in psychotherapy, psychoanalysis is hardly touched upon, yet interest remains high. This book provides a fresh approach and explains the mystery of psychoanalysis in an understandable way for all interested therapists, students, and patients.

In accessible language and with helpful illustrations, the authors explain the universal discoveries, terminology, and concepts of psychoanalysis as they are applied in modern practice. Numerous case studies illustrate complex issues from both the therapist's perspective and the patient's perspective. Additionally, the book offers an overview of the four main schools of thought, with a fifth approach focusing on mentalization also being made tangible.

Far from being outdated: Fresh ideas, creativity, and resonance in therapy through psychoanalytic methods. Cross-school: Psychoanalytic concepts are frequently utilized in other psychotherapy schools. This book also serves as an introduction to the foundational understanding of depth psychology. Both depth-psychologically based psychotherapy and analytical psychotherapy are variants of psychodynamic psychotherapy with identical roots.
