Abstract

Psychodynamic psychotherapy or analytical therapies are therapies based on psychoanalysis. C. Jung's archetypes have an important role in the science of psychology. Unlike S. Freud, Jung notes that libido is not only a source of sexual energy, but reflects the whole reality of humanity. Psychodynamic psychotherapy or analytical therapies are therapies based on psychoanalysis. Freud "Ego psychology" explored early childhood relationships between mother and child, noting that the relationships we experience in early childhood with those who care for us are repeated in adulthood. J. Lacan's theory considers the ego as an illusion and accepts that we are a personality aimed at fulfilling the wishes and dreams of our parents. In general, psychodynamic psychotherapy includes long-term therapies based on early childhood, parent-child relationships, and dreams. The main purpose of the article is to examine psychoanalysis, personality structure in psychoanalysis, therapies derived from it, analytic or psychodynamic therapies.
