Sigmund Freuds Psychoanalytic Theory

According to Freuds theory, human behavior is motivated by psychodynamic forces within an individuals unconscious mind. Driven to act by these internal forces, individuals repeatedly interact with the external environment. The individuals personality and psychosexual identity are developed through the accumulation of these interactional experiences. Personality according to Freud consists of the id, ego and superego. Also, Freud identified five psychosexual stages of development: oral, anal, phallic, latency and genital stage. If an individuals needs are met during a given stage and conflicts are resolved, development will proceed normally to the next stage, and the developing personality will be integrated in a healthy way. If resolution of the conflict does not occur, however, the individual will become fixated at that stage, and personality and psychosexual identity will be arrested or impaired.

ability to confront and resolve his or her remaining psychosexual childhood conflicts.
