This meaning: A process that is assumed to occur in psychoanalytic theory
In this sense, psychoanalytic process is a very strong, expressive word and usually reads as a strong judgement about someone's behaviour or state of mind. In casual exaggeration — a fitness maniac, driving like a maniac — it can sound playful or admiring, but it still carries far more force than simply saying someone is keen.
