Psychoanalytic Theory Analysis

Psychology is a study of all different behaviours and mental processes. The topics include: how the brain works; how the memory is organised; how different people interact in groups and how all the children learn about the world. In psychology they mostly speak and explain the consciousness, behaviour and social interaction. There are 3 main forces in psychology, Psychoanalysis, Behaviourism and Humanism. All 3 off the theories explain the human behaviour in different kind of ways but some of the common threads will exist throughout. The psychoanalytic theory is based on the human behaviour that is defined by the unconscious conflict between emotions. However, the conscious is containing ideals and morals and values- the ego is mostly conscious.

The theory has a belief that people are innately good and the mental, social problems they might have will result from the unconventionalities from the natural propensity. One of the strengths of the humanistic psychology is that it highlights the role of each individual. Another strength is that the humanistic psychology helped remove the stigma which was attached to the therapy. This made it more acceptable for normal.
