Psychoanalytic Theory
|
According to Freud, irrational and unconscious psychological forces govern behavior. Behavior stems from interaction with instinctual drives and past experiences. Erotic and sexual impulses may lead to unacceptable thoughts and fantasies which are then repressed in the unconscious because they provide guilt and high anxiety in the conscious awareness. This approach interprets humans as passive recipients of inner biological turmoil
