Psychoanalysis arose from an appreciation of the power of people talking directly to one another about questions that matter and issues that are difficult to understand. In examining what lies beneath the surface of human behaviour-in providing multi-layered and multi-dimensional explanations-psychoanalysis teaches us about the unconscious psychological and psychosocial forces that fall outside of everyday awareness.
