Freud's psychoanalysis is based on two cornerstones: the unconscious mind, which holds repressed thoughts and memories influencing behavior, and the role of early childhood experiences in shaping personality and behavior.

Sigmund Freud is considered the father of psychoanalysis, a method of therapy that explores the unconscious mind and brings repressed emotions and memories to the surface to address psychological issues.

Free association is a central technique in psychoanalysis where a person speaks freely about their thoughts, feelings, and memories without censorship. This helps uncover unconscious conflicts and patterns that may be influencing their behavior.

Sigmund Freud believed that our memories of past experiences, especially painful ones, can be repressed or buried in the unconscious mind. He suggested that these memories can continue to influence behavior and emotions without our awareness, and that psychoanalysis could help bring these memories to the surface for healing.

Psychoanalysis is a therapeutic approach that aims to uncover unconscious conflicts and desires influencing behavior. Developed by Sigmund Freud, it involves techniques such as free association and dream analysis to explore the patient's unconscious thoughts. The main goal of psychoanalysis is to bring repressed feelings and memories to the surface, leading to greater self-awareness and psychological healing.
