Do you agree or disagree and why? What is psychoanalysis? Theory developed by Freud and study continues with other researchers. The psychoanalytic framework stresses the importance of understanding: • that each individual is unique, • that there are factors outside of a person's awareness (unconscious thoughts, feelings and experiences) which influence his or her thoughts and actions, • that the past shapes the present • that human beings are always engaged in the process of development throughout their lives. http://www.apsa.org/About_Psychoanalysis.aspx
