He was wildly wrong saying the clitoris was an underdeveloped penis. "Women oppose change, receive passively, and add nothing of their own," he was quoted as saying in a 1925 paper (Cherry, 2010)
Defense Mechanisms -- Freud. Arthur Clark writes that Freud listed a total of 17 defense mechanisms; some of those include "conversion, displacement, isolation, projection, repression, and retreat or withdrawal from reality" (Clark, 1998)
Later in life the ego is developed, which is more sophisticated and can help to satisfy the impulses the id responds to. Basically, according to Coon, the ego directs the energies "supplied by the id"; the id is like "a blind king or queen, whose power is awesome" but must rely on others to carry out orders and the ego is like the power that carries out those wants that the kind and queen have (Coon, 2008, 399)
In addition, psychoanalysis is the basis of many other approaches to therapy. Many insights revealed by psychoanalytic treatment have formed the basis for other treatment programs in child psychiatry, family therapy, and general psychiatric practice (Beystehner, 2001)
This is particularly true for the therapeutic interaction itself, like those times in which the analyst and the analysand must actually regulate a relationship with each other. The affective and cognitive pattern of the models of the analyst and analysand, of themselves and the partner, become in this association parts of the regulation (Capito, 2008)
Based on his observations, he developed a theory that described development in terms of a series of psychosexual stages. According to Freud, disagreements that take place during each of these stages can have a lasting influence on one's character and actions (Cherry, 2011)

"Whether this is thought of as soul or spirit, or even a true self, it is not something the psychotherapist can all-powerfully create. It can only be discovered, unburied, cleared away of emotional clutter" (Horner, 2006)
Therefore, as is well-known, the analyst can integrate their own fantasies in the model of the analysand, or parts of the model of the analysand can be used for self-fantasies of the analyst. The notion of devolution and counter transference describe these processes only in part (Leuzinger-Bohleber & Fischmann, 2006)
One of the benefits of this type of practice is that it can be modified for a culturally diverse population, if done strategically by the therapist. Behavioral Therapy Behavioral therapy has its origins in behaviorism which is a theory that orbits around the notion that all we learn, we learn from our environment (Cherry, 2013)
Psychoanalysis historically took years (with sessions being three to four times a week); it's now been adapted to fit modern life with short-term plans available. This is evidence that psychoanalytic theory continues to evolve and that many sub-theories and sub-practices evolve from it (Corey, 2011)
Exploring them adequately not only illuminates the field of mental health, but the truly endless possibilities for treatment approaches for a professional in this field. Psychoanalytic Theory "This is one of the oldest theories of psychology in which patients are viewed within a model of illness or 'what is lacking'" (Grohol, 2004)
Classical conditioning revolves around making connections between stimuli and operant condition revolves around how support and punishments can be harnessed to bolster or minimize the rate of occurrence of an action or behavior (Cherry, 2013). The main objective of behavior therapy orbits around the possibility of bolstering the person's connection to positive or socially reinforcing activities; it is a highly structured method that very carefully measures what an individual does and then attempts to increase all odds of a positive experience (Herkov, 2006)
