According to Dolgin (2011), “Biological theorists - primarily biologists and psychologists – believe that adolescents are the way they are because of their genes, hormones, or evolutionary history. These theorists downplay environmental influences and tend to believe that the adolescent experience is similar regardless of where someone is raised” (p. 32). “Development occurs in an almost inevitable, universal pattern, regardless of sociocultural environment” (Dolgin, 2013, p. 32). Alienation is

Sigmund Freud began his private psychoanalytic practice near the end of the 19th century in Austria. Freud's theories of the unconscious, the libido, the oedipus-complex, psychotheropy, the defense mechanisms, etc have influenced disciplines typically removed from psychology.

He had also stored these various tapes organized in boxes
The two important psychoanalytic theories on human development are psychosexual development theory by Sigmund Freud and Erik Erikson’s psychosocial development theory.
