Psychodynamic theory has its consideration to be a very successful theory in terms of counselling. Psychodynamic therapy refers to a form of psychotherapy, in which our unconscious mental dynamics is central to the work. Pathogenic personal attitudes need to be recognized by the therapy, thereby losing explosiveness. The museum aims to differentiate further, it has its intention to recognize the psychological reasoning behind psychic and somatic symptoms, endure and learn to cope. Psychodynamic therapy is a common term in America, better known as "depth psychology based psychotherapy," which it intends to (Butler, 2000, p. 1).

By psychodynamic therapy is next to the recognition of unconscious motivations also improving mental structure, to achieve the personality structure.
