Sigmund Freud was the creator of the Psychoanalytic theory. <u>He stated that behavior was the result of the interaction or dynamic between conscious and unconscious motives within the different regions of the mind (psyche): conscious, preconscious and subconscious.</u>
All the theories formulated by his followers after his initial proposals are considered to be the basis of the Psychodynamic approach to therapy, which may differ within its specifics but they all remain true to the principles proposed by him regarding the psychodynamic nature of behaviour.
