I think both methods (CBT / psychoanalysis) have their rights and wrongs. Of course, for many, it is the symptoms of a disorder that are painful, so relieving patients from the symptoms should be the priority of any therapeutic approach. And CBT works very well to do this, much better than pychoanalysis.
But I also can understand the argument that for a sustainable effect, you have to change not only your behavior, but also the underlying problems. Those don't necessarily have to be Freudian sexual problems, but might be a situation with your family/marriage, constant stress at work etc. etc.
I'm quite a fan of systemic therapy (does it translate to English like that?).

Hey @sco!
Thank you for your beautiful input about both CBT and Psychoanalysis. I love how you just compared and contrasted them in a concise, yet to-core-of-it way. Beautiful!
Yep it does translate to English like that :) You will then, like to follow @erh.germany's blog (in case you are not one of her followers already)! She is a systemic consultant. Her blog will blow your mind!Thank you for taking the time to comment!
