Freud's psychodynamic theory proposes that early childhood experiences and unconscious thoughts influence our behaviors. The theory describes three divisions of the mind - the id, ego, and superego - that develop during different stages from infancy through adulthood. Anxiety results from conflicts between the primitive desires of the id and moral goals of the superego, which people defend against using mechanisms like rationalization, denial, and repression.
