What is Psychoanalytically-Oriented Psychotherapy?

For anyone considering how to work on themselves in psychotherapy, its difficult to know what to expect, and whether it will suit you or not. It helps if you agree with the philosophy and main ideas of the approach you will follow. Psychoanalytically-oriented psychotherapy is good for people who respect the complexity of their inner world, but are also willing to explore it as a path towards growing as a person.
