Demand (psychoanalysis)

Of course! So, let's say you really like ice cream. You want ice cream all the time, right? That's your demand for ice cream!

Now, sometimes people want things not just because they like them, but because they want to fix a problem or a feeling they're having. This is where Demand in psychoanalysis comes in.

Demand in psychoanalysis is when someone wants something not just because they like it, but because they want to fix their feelings or problems. For example, let's say you're feeling sad and you want your mom to make you your favorite dinner. You don't just want the dinner because it tastes good, you want it because it makes you feel better.

Psychoanalysis is all about understanding the reasons behind our actions and feelings, so by looking at someone's demands, a psychoanalyst can start to understand what's really motivating them.

Does that make sense?
