INTRODUCTION AND PSYCHOANALYSIS , PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT, Slides of Personality Development
INTRODUCTION AND PSYCHOANALYSIS , PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT SUNJECT - PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT YEAR-2025 Psychoanalysis is a psychological theory and therapeutic method developed by Sigmund Freud. It focuses on the unconscious mind, internal conflicts, and early childhood experiences as key influences on behavior and personality. The approach explores how repressed thoughts, desires, and past traumas shape current behavior and emotional struggles. Through techniques like free association, dream analysis, and transference, psychoanalysis aims to bring unconscious material to consciousness, helping individuals gain insight and resolve deep-seated psychological issues. It laid the foundation for many modern psychotherapeutic practices.
