Why “autopsychoanalysis” is a great word
AUTOPSYCHOANALYSIS — [Noun] The rigorous, self-directed application of psychoanalytic theory and technique to one's own unconscious processes. From the prefix auto- ("self") + psychoanalysis ("a therapeutic method for treating mental disorders by investigating unconscious elements"). Unlike "introspection," which is a general, informal self-examination, or "psychoanalysis," which denotes a dyadic therapeutic process, autopsychoanalysis is a solitary archaeology of the self. It is the patient interpretation of one's own dreams upon waking, the private deciphering of slips of the tongue, and the solitary mapping of a childhood memory onto a present neurosis—a profound confrontation where the surgeon and the patient are one and the same.
