PsychoDynamic Diagnosis
An Interactive Educational Guide to Psychodynamic Personality Understanding. Explore personality organization, defenses, affect, relationships and differential diagnosis through a psychodynamic lens.
Educational tool — not a diagnostic instrument
This application is designed for psychology education and clinical reasoning practice. It does not independently establish a psychiatric diagnosis and should not be used to diagnose yourself or another person. Real clinical assessment requires appropriate professional evaluation, contextual information, and clinical judgment.
The Psychodynamic Lens
This app is built around a sequence, not a shortcut. It moves from the surface (symptoms) toward the person underneath — the opposite of "enter symptoms, get diagnosis."
