Introduction to Psychodynamic Theory and Therapy (for beginners)

Psychodynamic theory and therapy is the oldest of the four most prominent and scientifically recognised approaches to psychotherapy. It is based on the psychodynamic/psychoanalytic theory contributed to by Sigmund Freud, Carl Gustav Jung, Alfred Adler, Erik Erikson, Melanie Klein, Anna Freud and too many more to name them all here. Psychodynamic theory does not only provide the basis for psychodynamic therapy to treat mental illness but also aims to capture the development, structure and function of the human psyche. Therefore, it can be useful to anyone who wants to understand themselves better, live a more meaningful life - or just be fascinated by some of the most elaborated (and controversial) theories psychology has to offer.
