Abstract
Psychoanalysis is a comprehensive theory of personality. It provides rich conceptual frameworks for understanding personality development through the life cycle, the complex workings of the human mind, and psychopathology. Psychoanalysis is also a procedure: a method of studying the mind and a form of psychotherapy. In this chapter we explore psychoanalysis both as a theory of personality and as a psychological treatment.
