Psychodynamic Theory

#psychodynamictherapy is an evidence based treatment for various psychiatric disorders.

This type of therapy explores internal conflicts and forces within people, often derived from childhood experiences, that play out with different defense mechanisms and emotional symptoms. Conflicts can arise from a struggle between the superego (societal expectations and morality) and the id (pleasure, desires, more impulsive).

This treatment can help one develop insights into unconscious forces that drive symptoms and other life difficulties. With more insight and understanding, a person can better develop new approaches and patterns to dealing with themselves and others.
