psychoanalyses
Explores unconscious motives
Psychoanalyses is the plural of psychoanalysis—the method of treating mental disorders developed by Freud, based on exploring unconscious thoughts and early experiences through techniques like free association and dream interpretation.
The term also covers the body of theory behind this approach.
As a verb form, psychoanalyses means subjects someone to psychoanalysis: She psychoanalyses her patients three times a week.
