There are many different types of psychoanalysis. Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung are probably the most famous exponents of psychoanalysis. Generally it involves trying to bring to the surface unconscious thoughts and feelings and trying to resolve them.
Psychoanalysis doesn't appear to help people give up smoking. The main reason smokers smoke is generally nothing to do with repressed emotions, it's because of nicotine which is a highly addictive drug.
