Since Freud, the centre of man is
not where we thought it was; one has
to go on from there.Jacques Lacan
Psychoanalysis is a talking cure that takes the unconscious into account. It involves discussing patterns of behaviour, ideas, families, relationships, memories, fantasies, dreams and significant events, with the hope of helping people understand something about what brought them to where they are today. The aim is to consider the hidden logic or meaning behind each patient's difficulties, and then to help them find ways to deal with the things that upset them.
