Sigmund Freud
Sigmund Freud founded the idea that the unconscious mind represses unacceptable thoughts of early childhood. These not only surface in dreams, but can also create conflict, worry, anger and depression as well as phobias, influencing our behaviour.
Lacan, Jung, Adler and Klein
Fundamental Freudian thinking has developed into a variety of branches and notable contributers to psychological theory are Jacques Lacan, Carl Jung, Alfred Adler and Melanie Klein.
Early chilhood experiences
Coming to terms with the fact that our problems stem from earliest childhood experiences, when we are often too young to recollect them, is at the heart of psychoanalysis.
Rejection
In every other area of health we expect a doctor to simply tell us what's wrong and what to do about it. However for a psychotherapist to simply tell us we are psychotic or perverted or any other technical term because of events in our earliest years would meet with immediate rejection. The words themselves, taken out of context, are unacceptable to us and in any case it is past events, not vocabulary and the semantics of psychotherapy, that we have to deal with.
