They should not be mistaken or substituted for each other, but they can support each other. Mindfulness includes many forms but consists of being present in the moment and being aware of one's physical and mental experience in the moment. It is practiced often alone, with intermittent sessions with a teacher and in group retreats. Psychoanalysis was first developed by Sigmund Freud and has been continually revised in the past 100 years. It is both a science of human psychological life and a therapeutic practice to help alleviate human suffering and facilitate growth and development. What follows is a series of reflections about the relationship between the two disciplines. </p> <p> <b>Tags:</b> meditation, mindfulness, psychoanalysis </p>
