Term society used for psychoanalytic technique (4,11)
I believe the answer is:
word association
'psychoanalytic technique' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'term society' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'term' could be 'word' (I've seen this before) and 'word' is located in the answer.
'society' could be 'soc' (abbreviation in the names of organisations) and 'soc' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'used for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for word association that I've seen is " early method of psychoanalysis".)
