Psychologist-Psychoanalyst in Piovera

Welcome to the office of Charles Baekeland, psychologist-psychoanalyst in Piovera, Madrid. I am a member of the Colegio Oficial de Psicólogos de Madrid, a member of the International Psychoanalytical Association, and a past president of the International Psychoanalytical Studies Organization.

This website is designed to provide information for those considering seeking psychological help, offering a clear understanding of psychology, psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. Before making a decision, it is advisable to understand what each approach consists of and how it can help in resolving emotional difficulties.

Psychoanalysis-based therapy aims to accompany the patient in the transformation of his or her emotional suffering. This process seeks to facilitate a fuller life, less affected by recurrent or limiting symptoms. Emotional and mental change is achieved through a deep and careful understanding of the conflicts that affect the person, allowing an emotional release that goes beyond the simple reduction of symptoms. This approach does not focus solely on temporary relief, but on more lasting and meaningful transformation.

The work of the psychologist-psychoanalyst

From a psychoanalytic orientation, the work of the psychologist-psychoanalyst consists of helping the patient to resolve his or her emotional difficulties through a process of deep self-knowledge. This approach is based on the same principles as classical psychoanalysis, where the aim is to understand the unconscious conflicts that affect the individual's life. In this process, the patient is invited to speak freely, exploring his or her thoughts and emotions without restrictions, which facilitates access to hidden aspects of his or her psyche.

Diagnosis and therapeutic assessment

Before any treatment begins, diagnostic interviews are conducted in which the psychoanalyst carefully assesses the patient's particular situation. During these interviews, several variables are taken into account to determine whether psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy, or psychoanalysis, is the most appropriate approach.

The diagnosis focuses not only on the patient's presenting symptoms, but also on his or her personal history and unconscious patterns that may be influencing his or her emotional distress. This ensures that the treatment chosen is the most beneficial and appropriate for the patient.

The psychoanalytic treatment, whether psychotherapy or psychoanalysis, takes place in weekly sessions, the frequency of which can be 1, 2, 3, 3, 4 or 5. During these sessions, the patient, seated in front of the psychoanalyst or lying on the couch, is invited to talk freely and spontaneously about his or her thoughts and emotions.

This format creates a space for the unconscious factors that generate discomfort and hinder emotional well-being to emerge. As these aspects are explored and understood, the patient can begin to experience deeper and more lasting emotional change.

The psychoanalytic approach is not limited to the rapid elimination of symptoms, but addresses the root of emotional problems. This allows for a holistic transformation in the patient's life, where not only symptoms are reduced, but also a deeper understanding of oneself is promoted.

Psychotherapy and psychoanalysis do not offer easy or immediate solutions, but they do offer a path to a fuller life, based on the integration of those unconscious aspects that have remained hidden and have limited the individual's freedom to love, work and live fully.
