Important concepts- In particular, we present five key concepts on psychoanalytic therapy: structure of personality, psychosexual stages, defense mechanism, anxiety, and the unconscious mind.
History- The discipline was established in the early 1890s by Sigmund Freud, whose work stemmed partly from the clinical work of Josef Breuer and others.
Many people are skeptical of psychoanalysis because the evidence supporting its effectiveness has often been viewed as weak. One of the critics' main arguments is that it's not as effective as other treatments.
One systematic review of previous studies concluded that psychoanalytic therapy was an effective treatment that resulted in the reduction of symptoms and long-term changes that persisted for years after treatment ended.4
Another critique is that psychoanalysis often requires an investment of time, money, and effort.

Psychoanalysis is simultaneously a form treatment, a theory, and an “investigative tool” (Lothane, 2006, p. 711)
Defense mechanism-
Defense mechanisms are strategies that the ego uses to protect itself from anxiety.
The superego is the final aspect of personality to emerge, and it contains our ideals and values.
-
The first of the key elements of personality to emerge is known as the id. The id contains all of the unconscious, basic, and primal urges.

Emotional and psychological problems such as depression and anxiety are often rooted in conflicts between the conscious and unconscious mind.
Personality development is heavily influenced by the events of early childhood (Freud suggested that personality was largely set in stone by the age of five).

the unconscious mind-
The unconscious mind includes all of the things that are outside of our conscious awareness, such as early childhood memories, secret desires, and hidden drives. According to Freud, the unconscious contains things that we might consider to be unpleasant or even socially unacceptable. We bury these things in our unconscious because they might bring us pain or conflict.
While these thoughts, memories, and urges are outside of our awareness, they still influence how we think and behave. In some cases, the things that are outside of our awareness can influence behavior in negative ways and lead to psychological distress.
The conscious mind, on the other hand, includes everything that is inside of our awareness. The contents of the conscious mind are the things we are aware of or can easily bring into awareness.
