Question

What is Freud's theory of the human unconscious?

A: According to Freud, behavior and personality is strongly determined by past experiences and mental forces of which people are largely unaware. He argued that when painful or unsettling things happen, they are often repressed, hidden from our conscious awareness. Freud believed that these feelings continue to influence behavior, however. He also claimed that repression of such experiences begins in childhood.
