Psychoanalysis can be used here. Psychoanalysis is a set of theories and
therapeutic techniques connected to the study of the unconscious mind, which
together form a process of treatment for mental-health disorders. The basic views
of psychoanalysis include:
- a
person's growth is determined by frequently forgotten events in early
childhood, rather than by inherited traits alone;
- human
behavior and cognition are mainly determined by unreasonable
drives that are deep-rooted in the unconscious;
- efforts
to bring those drives into consciousness triggers resistance in the form
of defense mechanisms, chiefly repression;
- conflicts
between conscious and unconscious material can effect in mental disturbances for instance anxiety and depression;
- unconscious
material can start in dreams and unintentional
acts, comprising mannerisms and slips
of the tongue;
