Psychoanalytic theory was founded by Sigmund Freud and focuses on the unconscious mind. It views humans as being motivated by unconscious desires, especially sexual and aggressive urges. Freud believed the mind is divided into the id, ego, and superego. Therapy involves free association, dream analysis, and analysis of transference to help clients gain insight into unconscious conflicts.
