Depth psychotherapy, including Jungian/analytic approach, distinguished itself from other schools of psychotherapy by the exploration of the unconscious, which sits deep in an individual's psyche but is often the source of conflicts that lead to various manifestations in psychological distress and even mental disorders. This approach typically involves a weekly, consistent meeting that looks into an individual's childhood, past traumas, interpersonal relationships and social roles. Key components include interpreting unconscious material (such as dreams and imagery) and analyzing the immediate therapist-patient relationship through transference and countertransference. Within this long-term, predictable therapeutic framework, an individual gains insight into the root meanings of the relational dynamics and symptoms. Depth psychotherapy is best suited for individuals seeking self-exploration who can commit to an extended, intensive process.

深度心理治療（包括榮格/分析心理學）與其他心理治療流派的不同之處，在於其對潛意識的探索。潛意識深藏於個人的心靈深處，卻往往是引發種種心理困擾甚至精神障礙的衝突源頭。這種治療取向通常需要每週進行一次且持續穩定的會談，深入探討個人的童年經歷、過去的創傷、人際關係以及社會角色。其關鍵要素包括對潛意識素材（如夢境與意象）的解析，以及治療師與個案之間當下的互動關係。在這種長期互信的治療框架下，患者得以洞察其人際互動模式與症狀背後的深層意義。深度心理治療最適合渴望自我探索、並能承諾投入長期且密集治療過程的人士。
