Who can Benefit from Psychoanalysis?

This video explains who can benefit from psychoanalysis. People’s emotional problems, that are referred to as psychopathology, consist of feelings such as depression, anxiety, excessive anger, low self-confidence or self-esteem, inability to take initiative, discomfort with intimacy or commitment, and many other afflictions. The spectrum of psychopathology displays a normal distribution - the so-called Bell Curve. The majority of people (the statistically normal, or also referred to as being neurotic of differing degrees) are in the middle, while the two forms of abnormality - psychosis and absolute health, are at opposing ends of the Bell Curve. Borderline conditions are to the middle of psychosis on the curve, followed by severe, then moderate, then mild neurosis. These constitute the form of abnormality known as mental health problems. Though psychoanalysis is most suited for work with neurotic and higher level borderline patients, some psychoanalysts offer modified forms of psychoanalysis to more severely impaired people.
