This modern therapy serves to help us deal with situations that bring us down. These issues affect our lives in one way or another and if not properly dealt with may have devastating effects.

Sigmund Freud is credited as the father of psychoanalysis but the field has evolved and has taken into consideration other great scholars' work. This new psychoanalysis is a diverse field that aims at discovering oneself and enhancing our personal growth. It also grants a chance to those suffering emotionally or psychologically to heal and developing or enhancing interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships.

This modern field gives much importance to the perspective and experiences of the individual client which are unique and quite subjective. Traditional types of analysis only considered what the psychoanalyst brought forward as the gospel truth.

This gives better effects and the healing process will be a journey with no turning back.

Some analysts also provide written materials or videos for their clients to help them. These contain advice on how to manage several aspects of their life.
