Many people come to therapy with specific symptoms such as depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or a phobia.
However, focusing on the specific symptoms can give relief only temporarily.
Many psychological symptoms are formed through unconscious - not conscious processes.
If you only treat the symptoms without thoroughly understanding the person, the targeted symptoms can be brought under control, but other symptoms will creep in.
Psychoanalytic psychotherapy will help clients relieve their symptoms, but also help clients make fundamental changes in their lives.

Ms. R came for therapy to get some help with her relationship.
According to her, she has no problem getting along with her friends but she becomes obsessive when it comes to relationships with boyfriends.

She thought that was what love was all about.
All her boyfriends thought she was sweet at first, but later on they felt that she was smothering them.
