Is Psychoanalytic Therapy just about sex?
Most people have read or been told about Sigmund Freud’s landmark discoveries regarding the crucial role that sexual thoughts and feelings have in life. However, modern psychoanalysts recognise that anger, hostility, dependency, and many other motivations may be just as important in shaping personality. While Freud’s patients, mostly Victorian women, needed help to understand their sexuality, modern patients tend to have more difficulty coping with feelings of anger, loneliness, or lack of a coherent sense of who they are.
