Sigmund Freud established a collection of theories which have shaped the root of the psychodynamic tactic to psychology when writing between the 1890’s and 1930’s. Psychodynamic psychology research overlooks the trappings of science and rather concentrates on endeavoring to get inside the head of people with a specific end goal to comprehend their connections, encounters, and their perspective on the world. The psychodynamic approach also includes all sorts of theories that oversee human function based on their forces and drives, particularly in the unconscious, and amongst different structures of personality. Freud opened the doors for many other psychologists like Alder and Jung to include their personal psychodynamic approaches. The following

It also equips them with knowledge to be able to cope with their problems and further difficulties that they may come around (McLeod, 2014). It is assumed that our behaviors and feelings come from our unconscious mind and are rooted from our childhood experiences.
All 3 psychodynamic approaches were established around the beginning of the 20th century. All three approaches contain similarities like: they all suggest that unconscious and conscious affects the persons function deeply in a dynamic way, they all agree that child-rearing practices is important for personality development, and they also believe that digging up what’s in the unconscious and conscious is crucial for a successful recovery and therapeutic process (Neukrug, 2011). Some of these approaches have sought out to be long-term, but have now been modernized an adapted to today’s treatment …show more content…
Psychanalysis view on human nature is Considered dynamic, meaning there is an exchange of energy and transformation (McLeod, 2014). Within psychoanalysis are key terms such as Ego, Id, and Superego, which are still used today and what Freud “considered one of the early proponents of a theory of child development” (Neukrug, 2011). Personality is formed through conflicts among three fundamental structures: id, ego, and super ego. Id is based on the pleasure principle, which demands immediate gratification of needs such as: breast, food, or person with whom to have sex (Neukrug, 2011). The Ego owes development to the id, because without an id, the ego has no function (Neukrug, 2011). The main function is to temper the id by finding socially acceptable ways of meeting the needs of the demanding id (Neukrug, 2011). The superego is pretty much the ethical component of the personality and provides the moral standards by which the ego operates. The superego's criticisms, prohibitions, and inhibitions form a person’s conscience, and its positive aspirations and ideals represent self-image. The Psychoanalysis approach did have its various strengths and weaknesses. Some of the strengths include: focuses on developmental considerations, the notion of “unconscious” begins to explain behavior that we are unaware of, and biological research to support some of Freud’s claims.
