Psychoanalysis is a family of psychological theories and methods based on the work of Sigmund Freud. What this boiled down to was Freud insisted that most pschological complaints were based on sexual neurosi. The most common form being that the patient would have sexual urges towards his mother. Sigmund's mother Madame Fi Fi Freud took advantage of this by hanging around Sigmund's offices whenever she could and charging two schillings for a 'quickie'.
