Historically, depth psychology (from the German term ''Tiefenpsychologie''), was coined by Eugen Bleuler to refer to psychoanalytic approaches to therapy and research that take the unconscious into account.〔Henri Ellenberger, ''The Discovery of the Unconscious'' (1970) p. 562〕 The term was rapidly accepted in the year of its proposal (1914) by Sigmund Freud, to cover a topographical view of the mind in terms of different psychic systems.〔Sigmund Freud, ''On Metapsychology'' (PFL 11) p. 175-6〕 Depth psychology has since come to refer to the ongoing development of theories and therapies pioneered by Pierre Janet, William James, and Carl Jung as well as Freud, which explore the relationship between the conscious and the unconscious (thus including both psychoanalysis and Jungian psychology). ==Summary of primary elements== Depth psychology states that psyche is a process that is partly conscious and partly unconscious and partly semi-conscious. In practice, depth psychology seeks to explore underlying motives as an approach to various mental disorders, with the belief that the uncovering of these motives is intrinsically healing. It seeks the deep layers underlying behavioral and cognitive processes. The initial work and development of the theories and therapies by Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, Alfred Adler and Otto Rank have resulted in three main perspectives on depth psychology in modern times: * Psychoanalytic: Melanie Klein and Donald Winnicott (among others); Object relations theory; Neo-Freudianism * Adlerian: Adler’s Individual psychology * Jungian: Jung’s Analytical psychology; James Hillman's Archetypal psychology 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Depth psychology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
