<u>Psychoanalysis</u> is Freud's theory of personality and his therapy for treating psychological disorders.
German neurologist Sigmund Freud developed a theory of psychoanalysis It is a theory of personality and therapy that is grounded on the idea that unconscious forces are at the root of a person’s personality, attitudes, and behaviors.
Freud argued that, against the prevailing belief that personalities are inborn, a person’s personality is determined by her childhood experiences which are often forgotten but persist unconsciously. These are the causes of her attitudes and behaviors.
Repression is one way in which a person keeps her conscious thought shielded from these childhood experiences. When there is a conflict between a person’s conscious and unconscious states, anxiety and depression arises.
Psychotherapy thus focuses on uncovering these unconscious impulses as a way of solving mental issues.
