Major Contribution to Child Development Theory.
According to Freud, the unconscious is the source of our motivations, whether they may be simple desires for food or sex, in the neurotic compulsions or the motives of artists or scientists. And yet we are often driven to deny or resist conscious of these motives and they are often available to us in a disguised form.
