How Psychotherapy Can Help
The psychotherapy available is 'psychodynamic' or 'psychoanalytic' psychotherapy. These
two words are often used interchangably by therapists. The 'psyche' is another word of the
mind. The 'dynamic' refers to how the different parts of the mind work together, or against
each other. So a simple way of describing psychodynamic psychotherapy is to say that it is a
type of therapy that works on understanding how the different parts of the mind struggle
against each other and sometimes cause emotional pain and unhappiness.
