A special approach

Freud and his Psychoanalytical Research does not easily fit into the Nomothetic or Idiographic approaches to personality study.

Freud saw the importance of early childhood experiences, parental relationships and conflict, in developing personality.

He also developed concepts of different levels of consciousness and 'the whole' person based on their past.

Ego, Superego and ID

Freud developed concepts of the Ego, The Superego and the ID to explain different parts of self and consciousness.

His work has both supporters and critics but it is worth understanding his theories as they have been the subject of extensive study and review since they were introduced.

They have been the basis of the development of many personality theories both supportive and otherwise.
