Personality theories are attempts of psychologists to explain the complexities of personality. Personality is the unique and consistent ways a person thinks, feels, and behave. It is not just the way a person thinks but what he or she think about. Psychodynamic theory was given by Freud in 1856. The psychodynamic theory is based on how a person's past experiences affect his or her current behaviors. For example, if you had a bad experience with your boss, you may be afraid to talk to your boss again. Psychodynamic theory suggest that this fear will prevent you from being promoted in your company.

Step-by-step explanation

• The psychodynamic theory of personality development. It's the most comprehensive in its explanation of the development of a person's personality. It takes into account the fact that we are all different and that our experiences are different. The psychodynamic theory also explains how we change throughout our lives and how our past experiences can affect our present actions. It also provides a framework for understanding how to work with people who have experienced trauma.
• This theory is important because my understanding of human behavior is that it is shaped by several factors: biology, environment, and experience. These factors interact with each other to influence personality and behavior. The psychodynamic theory provides us with a framework for understanding how people develop into who they are and how their past experiences can have an impact on their present actions.
• Psychodynamic theories assume that our thoughts and feelings influence how we behave. These psychological factors may be conscious or unconscious. According to psychodynamic theory, the conscious mind involves thoughts and feelings we are aware of, while the unconscious mind consists of things like repressed memories, urges and desires we keep hidden from ourselves.
