==Sigmund Freud==
[[Freud]] describes [[psychoanalysis]] as comprising:
# a [[discipline]] founded on a procedure for the investigation of [[mental]] [[processes]] that are otherwise inaccessible because they are [[unconscious]];
# a therapeutic method for the treatment of [[neurotic]] disorders; and
# a [[body]] of [[psychological]] data evolving into a new scientific discipline.
# a discipline founded <!-- [[Freud]]'s [[third]] and broadest [[category]] comprises his [[work]] on [[culture]] (which is based largely on the view that culture is a procedure product of the diversion or [[sublimation]] of [[sexual]] [[energy]]) and art, which provides the starting-point for the investigation many varieties of mental processes that are otherwise inaccessible because they are [[unconsciouspsychoanalytic criticism]];. -->
# a therapeutic method for Although the treatment [[history]] of neurotic disorders[[psychoanalysis]] is inseparable from that of [[Freud]]'s [[life]] and of the long [[self]]-analysis which led him to write his great ''[[Interpretation of Dreams]]'' (1900), it is clear that his new [[science]] is rooted in the traditions of nineteenth-century psychology and [[biology]]. [[Freud]]'s ventures into [[anthropology]], which he views as an integral part of his new scientific discipline, are also influenced by nineteenth-century theories of evolution and by their attendant eurocentrism; hence the analogy between the "mental life of savages and neurotics" posited in ''[[Totem and Taboo]]'' (1913), and the argument that the life of an [[individual]] re-enacts or repeats the life of the [[species]]. It is also clear that [[Freud]]'s descriptions of the workings of the [[unconscious]], with it s flows of energy, and of [[libido]] and its mechanisms of [[discharge]], owe much to the [[physics]] and hydraulics of his age.
# <!-- [[Freud]] constantly revises and reworks his theories, and all the modifications he introduces are closely related to developments at the [[clinical]] level as he gradually abandons the therapeutic [[technique]] of [[hypnosis]] and [[catharsis]] in favor of the [[talking cure]], and moves from his early [[seduction theory]] of [[hysteria]] to a [[theory]] of both [[neurosis]] and normal [[development]] that is based upon the discovery of the [[Oedipus complex]] and its vital importance in [[psychosexual]] development. Yet despite all the changes that are introduced, there is a body constant emphasis on the [[unconscious'' and on sexuality, defined in such broad terms as to include the oral and anal dimensions and not merely the narrowly genital or procreative dimension. It is the emphasis on sexuality that leads to the major disagreements between [[Freud]] and [[Jung]], whom the former at one point regarded as his crown prince. [[Freud]]'s theories are obviously not beyond criticism, but they have had an incalculable impact on the twentieth-century [[vision]] of psychological data evolving into [[sexuality]], not least by insisting the [[children]] are not asexual and have a new scientific discipline[[sexual life]] of their own.<ref>1905a. 1908a.</ref> The best account of the gradual development of the technique of [[psychoanalysis]] is that provided by [[Freud]] himself in his correspondence with [[Wilhelm Fliess]], with whom he collaborated in the 1980s, in the studies n [[hysteria]] coauthored with [[Breuer]], and in the five published [[case]] studies.-->

<!--Although [[dream]]s are described by [[Freud]] as "the royal road to the unconscious," (1900) it should be noted that the [[psychoanalyst]]'s raw [[material]] is not the [[unconscious]] itself (which is by definition inaccesible), but material that has already been shaped by the [[dream-work]]. -->

The [[anthropologyprofession]], which he views as an integral part is self-regulated and its standards of his new scientific discipline, [[practice]] are also influenced defined by the various national [[associations]] recognized by nineteenththe [[International Psycho-Analytical Association]].

The question of the speciesscientific [[nature]] of [[psychoanalysis]] remains controversial.
It is also clear that [[Freud]]'s descriptions own career was punctuated by a series of breaks with colleagues to whom he had once been close, and the workings history of the [[unconsciouspsychoanalytic]], with it s flows movement is one of energy, splits and schisms as well as of international expansion. All the major tendencies within contemporary psychoanalysis [[claim]] a [[Freudian]] ancestry, but take as their [[libidostating]] and its mechanisms -point different periods in his work or different aspects of dischargehis theories. Very schematically, owe much to the physics main post-Freudian currents within [[psychoanalysis]] are [[ego-psychology]], [[Kleinian psychoanalysis]], [[object-relations theory]] and hydraulics of his age[[Lacanian psychoanalysis]].
==Jacques Lacan==[[Lacan]] trained initially as a [[psychiatrist]], and turned to [[psychoanalysis]] to [[help]] him with his [[psychiatric]] research. This then led [[Lacan]] to train as a [[psychoanalyst]] himself in the 1930s. From then on, until his [[death]] in 1981, he dedicated himself to practicing as an [[analyst]] and developing [[psychoanalytic theory]]. In the [[process]], [[Lacan]] constructed a highly original way of discussing [[psychoanalysis]] which both reflected and determined an original way of conducting the [[treatment]]; in this [[sense]] it is thus possible to [[speak]] of a specifically [[Lacanian]] form of [[psychoanalytic treatment]]. However, [[Lacan]] never admits that he has created a distinctive "[[Lacanian]]" form of [[psychoanalysis]]. On the contrary, when he describes his own approach to [[psychoanalysis]], he speaks only of "[[psychoanalysis]]," thus implying that his own approach is the only authentic form of [[psychoanalysis]], the only one which is truly in line with [[Freud]]'s approach. Thus the [[three]] major non-[[Lacanian]] [[school]]s of [[psychoanalytic theory]] ([[Kleinian psychoanalysis]], [[Ego-psychology]], [[Object-relations theory]]) are all, in [[Lacan]]'s view, deviations from authentic [[psychoanalysis]] whose errors his own [[return to Freud]] is designed to correct.
From the very beginning, [[Lacan]] argues that [[Freudpsychoanalytic theory]] is a [[scientific]] rather than a [[religious]] mode of [[discourse]] constantly revises and reworks his theories, and all the modifications he introduces are closely related with a specific [[object]]. Attempts to developments at the clinical elevel as he gradually abandons the therapeutic technique of hypnosis and apply [[catharsisconcepts]] developed in avor of the psychoanalytic theory to [[other]] [[talking cureobjects]]cannot claim to be doing "applied psychoanalysis, and moves from his early " since [[seduction psychoanalytic theory]] of is not a general [[hysteriamaster]] to a discourse but the theory of both a specific [[neurosissituation]] and normal .<ref>{{Ec}} p. 747</ref> [[Psychoanalysis]] is an [[developmentautonomous]] discipline; it may borrow concepts from many other disciplines, but this does not meant that it is dependent on any of [[them]], since it reworks these concepts in a unique way. Thus psychoanalysis is based upon the discovery not a brance of [[psychology]], nor of medicine, nor of [[philosophy]], nor of the [[Oedipus complexlinguistics]] , and it is certainly not a form of [[psychotherapy]], since its vital importance in psychosexual developmentaim is not to "[[cure]]" but to articulate [[truth]].
Yet despite all the changes that are introduced, there is a constant emphasis on the [[unconscious'' and on sexuality, defined in such broad terms as to include the oral and anal dimensions and not merely the narrowly genital or procreative dimension.
