PSYCHOANALYSIS

Sigmund Freud.

Freudian psychoanalysis assumes that the repressed material hidden in the unconscious is given by repressed sexual instincts, Analytical psychology has a more general approach. There is no preconceived assumption about the unconscious material. The unconscious, for Jungian analysts, may contain repressed sexual drives, but also aspirations, fears, etc.

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.
