  • The psychoanalytic perspective focuses on unconscious mind, early childhood experiences and interpersonal relations to explain human behaviour. 
  • According to this perspective, abnormal behaviour is the consequence of anxiety produced by unresolved and unconscious conflicts of childhood. 
  • This perspective tries to treat people displaying abnormal behaviour by focusing on identification and the resolution of these conflicts. 
  • Freud has also explained that certain unconscious motives or conflicts have base of primitive sexual and aggressive instincts.
