The common denominator of virtually all counseling and psychotherapy is the Freudian assumption that intrapersonal and interpersonal problems originate in childhood experiences, especially in one's relations with mother and father. Shyness, difficulty in making a commitment, depression, anxiety, obsessiveness, slovenliness, substance abuse, eating disorders, trouble-making friends, inability to find meaning in life--virtually all problems are said to have the same origin.
