Psychoanalysis is conceived as one of the most influential intellectual trends of 20th century, that came into being in Vienna at the end of the 1800`s. Psychoanalysis profoundly changed the prevailing concept of the human psyche and established the theoretical and practical basis of modern psychological treatment. Its cultural and intellectual spread is still significant.
Psychoanalysis is a psychological treatment that was called by the first patient, Anna O. the "talking cure". Freud wrote the following about it:
"I hold the plan of getting the patient lie on a sofa while I sit behind him out of his sight. Ehat the material is with which one starts the treatment is on the whole a matter of indifference - whether it is the patient`s life history or the history of his illness or his recollections of childhood. But in any case the patient must be left to do the talking and must be free to choose at what point he shall begin. We therefore say to him:"Before I can say anything to you I must know a great deal about you. Please tell me what you know about yourself."
"One more thing before you start. What you tell me must differ in one respect from an ordinary conversation. Ordinarily you rightly try to keep a connecting thread running through your remarks and you exclude any intrusive ideas that may occur to you and any side issues, so as not to wander too far from the point. But in this case you must proceed differently. So say whatever goes through your mind. Act as though for instance you were a traveller sitting next to the window of a railway carriage and describing to someone inside the carriage the changing views which you see outside. Finally, never forget that you have promised to be absolutely honest, and never to leave anything out because, for some reason or other, it is unpleasant to tell it."
