• What is Contemporary Psychoanalysis?
    1. A type of treatment that emphasizes the healing properties of two or more people.
    2. A collaborative experience which helps the client to make sense of life that is meaningful to the client.
    3. A belief that the analyst is not the author of reality but emphasizes the meaning of the client’s unique and subjective experiences.
