Opis

Although current cognitive-behavioural therapies and psychopharmacological treatments have the remarkable ability to resolve and manage many psychiatric problems, these methods are not universally successful. Unconscious patterns and conflicts seem to be at the root of many patients' difficulties and warrant psychodynamic approaches. Unfortunately, the fact that the unconscious and the structure of the unconscious mind are impervious to laboratory analysis and scientific proof makes psychoanalysis a dubious, unreliable treatment option in some professional circles.
