Psychoanalysis and psychiatric rehabilitation are two vastly different theoretical concepts in psychiatry which can be used in patient’s interest when the resources are scarce. This case was approached with the objective of studying a case and its management using the psychoanalytic approach towards psychosocial rehabilitation in the low resource countries. A 37-year-old female presented with the chief complaint of stress and severe IPR issues with husband resulting in the socio-occupational dysfunction. Via psychoanalysis, the issues were resolved, and couple was rehabilitated in society with restoration of normal functioning. This study puts forward the concept of applying and integrating psychoanalysis as an approach towards rehabilitation.
