I am Madame Bovary! I have got to agree with this choice.
We have had quite parallel lives she and I, so I happen to be all for her. I have hated and loved her as deeply and completely as I have hated and loved my own condition as a woman. I think she is brilliantly written, Multi dimensional and as tragic as Euripides' Madea but more interesting and darker than Tolstoy's Anna K!
Vanity fair is a great one too but TS and HF I found to be more interesting to a mans needs of a character to reflect off of and relate to. Of Human Bondage, I honestly still have yet to read it so I can't say. How was it by the way?
There are however so many different states and conditions of psychoanalysis, so many differences in one term. Like to Kill a mockingbird for social and racial conscience, Fyodor Dostoevsky for comparisons and distinctions between the potentiality for brutality and ugliness in all of us, Joyce for generational conditioning and growth, up from restrictive expectations of religion, imposed culture and family expectations. Catcher in the rye, Franz Kafka... It is endless and all different. Too different to pen down just one. You should have added a specific human condition to Analyze. Then it would have been an easier task.
It really is too vast to pen down one novel for one condition concerning psychoanalysis as a favorite or a "goes best with." as far as an example goes.
Great question though! I have not seen one this good in a while!

You question is a little unclear, but from your list I would say Madame Bovary.
If not from your list how about:
Sybil by Flora Rheta Schreiber
Flowers In The Attic by V.C. Andrews
Mommie Dearest by Christina Crawford
Or for something more current:
Running with Scissors: A Memoir by Augusten Burroughs
WHAT DO YOU THINK!!
