The psychodynamic perspective of addiction comes out of the famous Dr. Freud. It originated approximately 100 years ago and it's based on the assumption, and there are some parallels within the cognitive behavioral world, that if the unconscious forces within us are part and parcel of why we engage in addictive behavior. There are beliefs that through means of interpretation of early life trauma, developmental difficulties, that the child becomes to have certain meanings and associations with particular elixirs, particular people and particular activities, and their recovery is about the understanding, the unraveling and the unearthing of these unconscious forces, and beliefs and meanings.
