How do you approach the psychoanalysis of someone who is not there, who cannot provide a personal history, free-associate, or develop a transference betraying his relationship to his parents?

In this case, there is a great difficulty in treatment, because speech is extremely essential for psychoanalysis, speech healing is a way for the patient to be able to put his unconscious out through speech. There is the possibility of virtual assistance and thus the process can be done normally, but this is the only option.

Psychoanalysis was created by the Austrian neurologist Sigmund Freud, with the aim of treating psychic imbalances. This theoretical body was responsible for the discovery of the unconscious - previously explored, but in another sense, by Leibniz and Hegel -, and from then on it started to approach this unknown territory, in an attempt to map it and understand its mechanisms, originally giving it a reality on the psychic plane. This discipline also aims to analyze human behavior, decipher the organization of the mind and cure diseases lacking organic causes.

Freud organizes in his theoretical body data already known at the time, such as the idea that the mind was divided into three parts, the functions that belonged to it, the personalities that were born from each category and the catharsis. This kind of scientific syncretism gave rise to innumerable new concepts, such as sublimation, pe/rversion, narcissism, transference, among others, some of them very popular today, as these concepts led to the emergence of modern Clinical Psychology and Psychiatry. For Psychoanalysis, sex is at the center of human behavior. It motivates your personal fulfillment and, on the other hand, your deepest emotional disturbances; absolute reigns in the unconscious. Freud, in the midst of the Victorian era, became controversial, and his theory was not easily accepted. Over time, however, his thinking made it possible for the sexual theme to enter into environments previously inaccessible to this order of debate.

Answer:

Psychoanalysis is a theory that refers to the underlying thoughts, feelings, desires, and memories which are considered to be unconsciously present in the mind of a person.

it is hard to psychoanalyze someone if they are unable to provide history. Communication is key for the psychoanalyst to get to know the person to figure out the real reason behind a certain action or a thought. They can do it through the parents but that would create mistrust which is considered to weigh negatively on their relationship with each other.

On way to approach such a person could be through virtual means and try to communicate to get to the core.
