Psychoanalysis[i] is a set of theories and techniques of research that deals with the unconscious mind's influence of the conscious mind. Based on talk therapy and dream interpretation, psychoanalysis is also a method for the treatment of mental disorders.[ii][iii] Established in the early 1890s by Sigmund Freud, it takes into account Darwin's theory of evolution, ethnology reports, and, in some respects, the clinical research of his mentor Josef Breuer.[1] Freud developed and refined the theory and practice of psychoanalysis until his death in 1939.[2] In an encyclopedic article, Freud identified its four cornerstones: "the assumption that there are unconscious mental processes, the recognition of the theory of repression and resistance, the appreciation of the importance of sexuality and of the Oedipus complex."[3]
Freud's earlier colleagues Alfred Adler and Carl Jung soon developed their own methods (individual and analytical psychology); Freud criticized these concepts, stating that they were not forms of psychoanalysis.[4] After the Second World War, neo-Freudian thinkers like Erich Fromm, Karen Horney and Harry Stack Sullivan created some subfields.[5] Jacques Lacan, whose work is often referred to as Return to Freud, described his metapsychology as a technical elaboration of the three-instance model of the psyche and examined the language-like structure of the unconscious.[6][7]
Psychoanalysis has been a controversial discipline from the outset, and its effectiveness as a treatment remains contested, although its influence on psychology as well as on psychiatry is undisputed.[iv][v] Critics of the theory have claimed it is pseudoscientific and have argued that central concepts to the theory like that of the id, ego, and superego are unfalsifiable.[8] Psychoanalytical concepts are also widely used outside the therapeutic field, ,[9] such as interpretation of myths and fairy tales, philosophical perspectives such as Freudo-Marxism, and in film and literary criticism.
