Detailed explanation-1: -Freud viewed the unconscious as a repository for socially unacceptable ideas, anxiety-producing wishes or desires, traumatic memories, and painful emotions put out of mind by the mechanism of repression.
Detailed explanation-2: -Freud’s psychosexual theory emphasizes the importance of basic needs and biological forces, while Erikson’s psychosocial theory is more focused upon social and environmental factors. Erikson also expands his theory into adulthood, while Freud’s theory ends at an earlier period.
