What is psycho-dynamic therapy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Talk therapy: Psychodynamic therapy focuses on making a person consciously aware of previously unconscious childhood experiences, wishes, fears, desires, and motivations. Psychodynamic therapy also explores a person's use of "defense mechanisms". Psychodynamic therapy places a high value on gaining insight into underlying causes. Freud's psychoanalysis was a type of psychodynamic therapy.
