Detailed explanation-1: -Freud believed human behavior could be explained by intrapsychic processes and interpersonal patterns outside of a person’s conscious awareness and based on their childhood experiences. A general definition of psychodynamic theory is that forces outside of a person’s awareness explain why they behave a certain way.
Detailed explanation-2: -The stages are oral, anal, phallic, latency, and genital ([link]). Freud’s psychosexual development theory is quite controversial.
Detailed explanation-3: -Freud’s personality theory (1923) saw the psyche structured into three parts (i.e., tripartite), the id, ego and superego, all developing at different stages in our lives. These are systems, not parts of the brain, or in any way physical.
