Are there Different Schools of Psychoanalytic Therapy?
Since the birth of Freudian analysis in the early 1900’s numerous approaches have been developed including those of Jung, Adler, Horney, Sullivan, Klein, Kohut, etc. Each school of psychoanalytic therapy focuses on certain aspects of treatment or personality. The differences between these schools have become less dramatic with time. Frequently, the differences between analysts trained in the same tradition can be equal to or greater than those between analysts of different schools.
