Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In simple terms, Sigmund Freud’s theory suggests that human behavior is influenced by unconscious memories, thoughts, and urges. This theory also proposes that the psyche comprises three aspects: the id, ego, and superego . The id is entirely unconscious, while the ego operates in the conscious mind.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Freud argued that personality is developed through a series of psychosexual stages, each focusing on pleasure from a different part of the body (Table 12.5, “Freud’s Stages of Psychosexual Development”).

Detailed explanation-4: -These parts are id, which resides in the unconscious part of our mind, ego, which mainly resides in the preconscious and conscious parts of the mind, and superego, which resides in all three parts.

Detailed explanation-5: -According to Freud, the unconscious mind is the primary source for all human behavior. Freud felt that our feelings, motives and decisions are powerfully influenced by our past experiences and stored in the deeper unconscious mind.
