Thanks for joining me on episode 22 of the podcast. In this episode, I had the privilege of speaking with Paul Moore, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist and course director of the Masters in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, and lecturer in Psychoanalysis and Neuropsychoanalysis in Trinity College, Dublin. Paul gave me his understanding of what psychoanalysis is broadly speaking while also diving into the nuts and bolts.

Paul explained how psychoanalysis has various branches, including his specialisation, post-Kleinian psychoanalysis. We spoke about some of the typical tropes of psychoanalysis, such as dream interpretation, the Rorschach test, lying on a couch, the Oedipus complex and whether and why these are still used.
