Doesn’t matter who answers. “Commonsense” and “RSE625″ have a thing going on giving each other credit even when their answers are wrong and/or stupid.
Check out rse625′s history. The only best answers come from ‘commonsense’.
The tip-off came when ‘commonsense’ asked the capital of Azerbaijan. Nigel8ball gave the correct answer and provided info for “a report”?
You think they play each others bone-o-phone?

Briefly:
Psychoanalysis (often described as Psychodynamic Psychotherapy) is based around the ideas of Freud, Jung (Jungian analysis is often described as ‘analytical psychology’) and perhaps a handful or other people who claim the title of ‘psychoanalyst’.
Psychotherapy is the whole collection of so called talking therapies (there are, literally, hundreds of them around the world) that claim to be able to treat mental health problems.
The overwhelming majority of psychotherapy theories (or schools of psychotherapy) have no scientific validity of any description, no matter what their practitioners claim.
However, psychotherapy is a very lucrative and growing business and many people claim to take comfort from it (whatever the variety of psychotherapy undertaken), in return for a significant amount of cash. Basically, you pay good money in return for someone pretending to care about your problems. Indeed psychotherapy could be said to be close to prostitution. Stop paying your fees and see how fast these caring professionals drop you!
If you are ordinarily unhappy, talk to family or friends (it’s a therapists’ myth that ‘ordinary people do not understand’), get physically active, eat well and take up some activity that really interests you. Stay away from psychotherapists and, above all from psychoanalysts.
If you are extraordinarily unhappy, troubled or confused, go and see a medical doctor.
