Abstract
Psychoanalytic theories that are in use today, can be credited to Sigmund Freud, whose works emanated from various psychological and physiological experiences. In a quest to make meaning out of what he experienced, Freud experimented till he discovered. Gerald Corey also added that, 'it is the views of Freud and psychoanalysis that continue to influence the contemporary practice of counseling and psychology.’ This term paper describes how counselling psychology fits into urbanization in the Ghanaian situation. It also describes how the need for innovation has compelled the American Psychology Association (APA) to setup an additional division. With urbanization taking place in Ghanaian societies and APA expanding its divisions, it is necessary to acknowledge the services of professional counselors. This paper identifies the role of psychoanalytic counselling in an urbanized society: something which also appears to be the need for APA to expand.
