Psychoanalysis is a family of psychological theories and methods based on the work of Sigmund Freud. As a technique of psychotherapy, psychoanalysis seeks to discover connections among the unconscious components of patients' mental processes. The analyst's goal is to help liberate the patient from unexamined or unconscious barriers of transference and resistance, that is, past patterns of relating that are no longer serviceable or that inhibit freedom.

It is limited due to the fact that Freud would work with people for many years with limited progress. It is not effective. It does not focus on the problem or the solution. It focuses on the past. He was concerned about how someone was potty trained and he believed all boys want to have sex with their mother. Oh, by the way, did anyone mention he had a drug problem. His observations were good but his conclusions were not.
