Psychoanalysis and 'dynamic' psychotherapy are psychological methods of treatment; they are rational psychotherapies derived from the psychoanalytic
metapsychology. Whereas in psychoanalysis technique is directed at the production of conditions most favorable to the development, understanding, and complete resolution of the transference neurosis, in 'dynamic' psychotherapy the therapist's activity often involves teaching, suggestion, the setting of examples, or proving a point. It is not intended to further the development and resolution of the full transference neurosis, but rather it seeks an intermediate point of stability. There are indications and contraindications for each type of treatment.
