Psychoanalytic theory uses adapted concepts, theories and points of view tools of psychoanalysis to analyse human beings, cultural phenomena and cultural and social concepts and ideologies. 

  • explores the construction of phenomena produced by complex and ambiguous desires.
  • can explore and reveal the hidden meanings, which phenomena have besides the obvious and visible meanings.
  • The focus of the approach is usually phenomena related to the ego of the individual.
  • Results of the analysis can be extended to form an explanation model or as a starting point of analysis of ideologies and broader cultural and social phenomena.

Psychoanalytic theory is closely related to hermeneutics

Applied Psychoanalytic theories are related to postmodern thinking.
