psychoanalysis
Definition:
Psychoanalysis is the foundational method of psychological treatment developed by Sigmund Freud, focusing on uncovering unconscious thoughts, desires, and conflicts through techniques like free association and dream interpretation. Jung adapted and expanded psychoanalysis by incorporating concepts such as archetypes, the collective unconscious, and individuation.
Example:
Jungian psychoanalysis provides tools to access the unconscious, facilitating the exploration of repressed material and archetypal influences. For example, analysing a recurring dream symbol might uncover hidden fears or unresolved issues.
