Definition

  • Psychoanalysis was developed by Sigmund Freud around 1895, but it has since evolved into a diverse and internally complex combination of theoretical approaches, institutions, and clinical practices conducted in various parts of the world. Nonetheless, this diversity is unified by the common postulate of the unconscious. [Source: Encyclopedia of Deception; Psychoanalysis]
