... Freud emphasized the attention to detail when referencing psychoanalytical matters, while predicting his theory to become essential in regards to everyday tasks with the Swedish psychoanalyst, Oscar Pfister.

Psychoanalytical theory of personality
Freud's fundamental structure of psychology, the id, ego and super ego have defined the early approach to personality studies. Furthermore, Freud placed high emphasis on the unconscious mind and suggests that the drives and motivations of an individual are more closely associated with the unconsciousness than popular beliefs. In understanding the unconsciousness, Freud utilized dream analysis and introspective insights of people's childhoods to further the concept of a "mature" personality.
