ABSTRACT
General principles All psychodynamic therapies derive ultimately from the work of Freud and his immediate followers, Jung and Adler. Freud’s studies with Charcot in 1885 and Breuer in 1895, investigating treatments for hysteria and other neuroses, led to the development of psychoanalysis in 1897. The new treatment caught on rapidly and had an international reputation by 1910. Its spread in Europe was restricted during the Second World War by Nazi disapproval (Freud being Jewish), and it became more established in the US and Britain, where many analysts had taken refuge during the war.
