The idea
Psychoanalytic therapy seeks to bring unconscious conflict into awareness through free association, dream analysis, and examination of the therapy relationship.
In practice
A recurring pattern in the client's relationships is examined as it reappears with the therapist.
Where people slip
The method's specific claims are hard to test, and short-term psychodynamic variants have accumulated better evidence.
