Psychoanalysis has been around in India for over a century now, beginning with the works of G.S. Bose in 1910s. However, the popularity, acceptability and accessibility of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy has had a fluctuating course in the mental health arena of the country. The initial enthusiasm seems to have been circumscribed within the academic community and appears to have taken objections with its ‘foreign origin and roots’. This approach to psychotherapy was seen as alien to the Indian culture and was not welcome warmly as a treatment strategy. However, there have been some recent attempts in making this style of thought and school popular and accessible in clinical settings and there seems to be a slow but gradual increase in the usage of Psychoanalytic thinking in both clinical and non-clinical settings. The paper reviews the history and describes the current state of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in India and highlights the difficulties in accessing the therapy within the national health schemes.
