What Modern Psychoanalytic Therapy is About
Who Can it Help?
Analytic Therapy helps people suffering from emotional pain. This can be depression, fears, restlessness, inability to work, overwhelmed with anger. Some feel weighted down with responsibilities or feel devoid of goals or ties. They may have difficulty playing or being able to have a meaningful relationship. They be entangled with spouses, parents or children. Children who may have difficulty playing, relationships with peers, defiance with parents, difficulty with concentrating in school are treated. Resolution of emotional trauma and growth are part of the analytic process. People come to analytic therapy to be happy.
Analytic therapy also helps people who may not have significant emotional issues but who simply wish to improve their lives. Many business people choose analysis to increase their efficiency, improve the effectiveness of their staff, improve communication skills and identify resistances that prevent them from making more money.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
The person comes to treatment with issues of concern. When these problems can be dealt with effectively, treatment may conclude. Treatment sessions are scheduled according to the person. People come anywhere from once a month to three times a week. It is individually based.
WHAT DO PSYCHOANALYSTS LEARN?
The analyst learns simple to complex theories of the causes, diagnosis and treatment of emotional disturbances. Training of a psychoanalyst is typically five to ten years after any degree earned. Each analyst treats a wide variety of emotional disorders under close supervision of senior analysts. Each analyst is carefully evaluated by a panel of senior analysts. The modern analyst is evaluated and assessed to demonstrate superior understanding, skill and emotional balance to treat people.
WHAT IS MODERN PSYCHOANALYTIC THERAPY LIKE?
The client talks and is listened to by the analyst. Past, current and future life is discussed. Once the analyst understands the person, solution options to the issues that brought the person to treatment are offered. The analyst helps the client speak of his/her life and become understanding of all parts. Buried feelings that were never resolved come to the surface. They talk about work, play, intimacy and relationships. They uncover memories and look at frustration, anxiety, loneliness, loss, pain, and love. They look at how past patterns that were not effective are replayed in the present. Analyst and client develop ways to make better choices.

HOW IS A PSYCHOANALYST TRAINED?
A candidate for training can only be accepted into training by a board of senior psychoanalysts. The program consists of rigorous intellectual and emotional training. Intensive academic coursework is four years in length. Individual and group supervision of treatment practice and case presentations may extend training to even longer. This training is post masters, post Ph.D., post MD. In addition to coursework, candidates must undergo a long and deep personal analysis during the entire length of their training. The personal analysis addresses any issue that might interfere with the treatment of patients as well as for the candidate to develop a deep understanding of himself/herself.
