What is self psychology?
Self psychology is a branch of psychoanalysis which pays particular attention to a person's need
to develop a healthy, vigorous sense of self. Psychotherapists and psychoanalysts trained in
self psychology value an empathetic approach to understanding the emotional truth of a person's
own experience. Through a relationship with the therapist, in which one feels safe, respected, and
understood, various problems in living can be greatly eased, and potentially underdeveloped or
inhibited potentials released, for more confident and effective self-expression.
Self psychological psychoanalytic therapy may be helpful for many troubling issues, including
anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, difficulty with anger or assertiveness, bereavement,
sexual or other behavior disorders, unsatisfactory relationships, or pervasive feelings of
unhappiness, isolation, or emptiness.
