Abstract: In modern organisational settings, unresolved psychological conflicts and dysfunctional personality traits among employees often hinder productivity, workplace harmony, and overall institutional performance. This study addresses the critical need for deeper psychological interventions by exploring the effectiveness of a training program based on Freudian psychoanalysis in developing personality traits among university employees. The research aimed to design and evaluate a psychoanalytically-informed training intervention targeting core aspects of personality such as self-awareness, emotional regulation, defence mechanisms, and interpersonal functioning. Employing an experimental onegroup pre-test/post-test design, the study involved 16 purposively selected employees from the University of Zakho. Participants underwent a four-week training program consisting of 12 intensive sessions. A validated Personality Traits Development Scale (PTDS) was used to assess personality changes before and after the intervention. Statistical analysis revealed significant improvements in post-test scores compared to pre-test scores, with a very large effect size (Cohen's d = 2.32), indicating the program's substantial impact. These findings highlight the power of psychoanalytic interventions in organisational development by fostering meaningful personality transformation rather than superficial behavioural adjustments. The study contributes novel empirical evidence to the field of workplace psychology, advocating for the integration of depth psychology into team member development initiatives across diverse cultural and institutional contexts.

Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the impact of psychoanalytic sessions on reducing psychological stress among employees of the Passport Department in the Independent Zakho Administration. The study employed a quasiexperimental method based on a pre-test/post-test single-group design. The research sample consisted of 11 employees selected purposively based on specific inclusion criteria. The psychoanalytic intervention consisted of 15 daily sessions lasting 45 minutes each, conducted over three weeks from February 2 to February 20, 2025. Results showed statistically significant differences between pre-test and post-test measurements in favor of stress reduction, with very large effect sizes (η² = 0.894, d = 2.341) indicating the high effectiveness of psychoanalytic sessions in reducing workplace psychological stress among passport department employees
