one analyzes, one gives therapy, the other does all
Answer by defomcduff
Psychoanalysts – typical “TV” shrinks. They sit behind you, have you discuss your dreams, try to have you talk about childhood, bla bla bla. Usually 2 sessions a week for a long time
Psychotherapists – use Psychodynamic Theory to treat you. They figure out what defense mechanisms you use to hide your problem, and work to bring that defense mechanism down. 4 sessions a week for 4-5 years.
