Through psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud and his students aimed to help people gain insight into the unconscious origins of their disorders, to work through the accompanying feelings, and to take responsibility for their own growth. Techniques included free association, dream analysis, and interpretation of resistances and transference to the therapist of long-repressed feelings. Contemporary psychodynamic therapy has been influenced by traditional psychoanalysis but is briefer and less expensive. It focuses on a patient's current conflicts and defenses by searching for themes common to many past and present important relationships. Interpersonal therapy (a brief 12- to 16-session form of psycho-dynamic therapy) deals primarily with current symptoms (such as depression) rather than the origins of unconscious conflicts.
