| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Psychoanalysis is a body of ideas developed by Austrian physician Sigmund Freud and continued by others. It is primarily devoted to the study of human psychological functioning and behavior, although it can also be applied to societies. Psychoanalysis has three main components: a method of investigation of the mind and the way one thinks; a systematized set of theories about human behavior; and a method of treatment of psychological or emotional illness. The specifics of the analyst's interventions typically include confronting and clarifying the patient's pathological defenses, wishes and guilt. This book studies various schools of psychoanalysis including alter ego, empathy, mirror stage, and interpersonal psychotherapy.
