Dott. Andrea Aiazzi
Graduate in Clinical Psychology at Università degli Studi di Firenze and Post-graduate in Brief Strategic Psychotherapy.
I've been studying the Psychoanalytic approach since 2013, also undertaking the personal psychoanalysis with a Bionian Analyst.
The authors who had the biggest impact on my approach are Freud, Klein, Winnicot, Bion, Ogden e Langs.
I practice the profession since 2010, qualified and registered in the national professional register of psychologists (number 6198).
What is a psychotherapy
First of all, psychotherapy is the creation of a safe space of listening and support.
Psychotherapy is also a container within which to think about and understand oneself: a path that is based on precise techniques and on the collaboration between patient and therapist.
A Psychotherapist is not a friend, a teacher or a parent, yet in the therapeutic relationship he performs functions of listening, empathizing, understanding and interpretation.
The Psychotherapist carries out a profession of help but also of exploration.
Finding the right balance between these two elements (different for every patient) is my idea of Therapy.
Brief Strategic therapy
When the problem is mainly a symptom (eg. Panic attacks, anxiety, phobic reactions) then a focused therapy is often the best move. It allows to tame the symphtoms, break pathologic circles and leaves the door open to a deeper therapy, if needed in the future.
It is especially useful for those who face a sudden problem and need to solve it in a short period of time.
Psychoanalitic therapy
Psychoanalytic psychotherapy uses specific tools (eg. dream work) to identify and understand the dynamics that govern us as individuals and to be able to evaluate them in the present.
Reliving these dynamics in a safe context (the relationship with the therapist and the setting) allows us to shed new light on elements that we have so far considered absolute and essential and that could very well turn out to be obsolete.
The past becomes such only when we look at it from the present.
We can find such "present" with a therapist who is trained to create a new, unprecedented space, not dominated by old relational dynamics.
This is, in my opinion, the true work based on the "here and now".
