What do you think about psychoanalysis?

Question

It's not scientific, but is it still useful & valid in the field of psychology? 
Thoughts?

Answer

so some research claims that psychoanalysis has been proven effective in treating panic disorders, ptsd and personality disorders but it wasn't effective in treating schizophrenia, ocd or eating disorders.
this of course has been disputed within the field for many years, each time research is conducted new proof for or against it is presented and each time the results cause conflict. so much so the argument between critics'and supporters has been dubbed the Freud Wars.
I personally have borderline personality disorder/emotionally unstable personality disorder whichever you want to call it... to the best of my knowledge it's not something that's particularly offered or used by many mental health services and from what I know it involves something like 4 sessions a week for anywhere from 3 - 7 years 
not having experienced it first hand or know of anyone who has gone through it I'm not willing to say for a fact that it doesn't work or that it's not useful. it's been around since the 1890s in that time it's quite possible that it's been effective for lots of patients, I'd be interested in hearing from someone whose actually gone through it and their experience from it.

Answer

What is your construct of psychoanalysis?  It has different meanings to different people.  
As a mode of therapy the way Freud practiced specifically, I believe there’s much better ways.  I’m a huge Jung fan.  But taking some helpful tools from Freud and applying it to other types of therapy, absolutely.

Answer

I'm sure it's useful to some, but I prefer Cognitive-Behavioral and Solution Focused Brief Therapy.
