The psychoanalytic perspective is a psychological approach developed by Sigmund Freud that focuses on the unconscious mind and early childhood experiences as determinants of behavior and personality. This perspective emphasizes the role of unconscious thoughts, feelings, and memories in shaping human behavior, and aims to uncover and resolve internal conflicts that may be causing psychological distress. Psychoanalytic therapy typically involves exploring a patient's unconscious mind through techniques such as free association, dream analysis, and transference.
