a)The father of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud is best known for his tendency to trace nearly all psychological problems back to sexual issues.
Initially a Viennese medical doctor, Freud was trained in neurology, and he originally drew inspiration from the work of Charles Darwin which explained behavior in evolutionary terms.

b)Sigmund Freud focused on unconscious causes of behavior
This is known as the psychoanalytic approach or school of thought and the techniques Freud used to try to reveal the hidden causes of behavior became known as psychoanalysis.

"The goal of research in evolutionary psychology is to discover and understand the design of the human mind. Evolutionary psychology is an approach to psychology, in which knowledge and principles from evolutionary biology are put to use in research on the structure of the human mind. It is not an area of study, like vision, reasoning, or social behavior. It is a way of thinking about psychology that can be applied to any topic within it."
- Cosmides & Tooby, 1997

Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist and the founder of the psychoanalytic school of psychology. The theories distinctive of this school generally include the following hypotheses:

• Human development is best understood in terms of changing objects of sexual desire.

• The psychic apparatus habitually represses wishes, usually of a sexual or aggressive nature, whereby they become preserved in one or more unconscious systems of ideas.

• Unconscious conflicts over repressed wishes have a tendency to manifest themselves in dreams, parapraxes ("Freudian slips"), and symptoms.

• Unconscious conflicts are the source of neuroses.

• Neuroses can be treated through bringing the unconscious wishes and repressed memories to consciousness in psychoanalytic treatment.

He is commonly referred to as "the father of psychoanalysis" and his work pioneered many of the themes that are currently taken for granted as fundamental components of contemporary psychological research.

How are we influenced by human nature?

In viewing human similarities and differences, 2 perspectives dominate current thinking: an evolutionary thinking, emphasizing human kinship, and a cutural perspective, emphasizing human diversity. Nearly everyone agrees that we need both: Our genes design an adaptive human brain - a hard drive that receives the culture's software.

Any comment? 5 points for this
