 * Could potentitally go into more specifics on certain disorders and treatments that use psychoanalytic theory

DRAFT FOR CRITICISM SECTION
 * There are several claims regarding the lack of empirical data surrounding the psychoanalytic theory...Additionally, the theory is criticized due to the intense focus on pathology. [15] Furthermore, or critics of psychoanalytic theory claim that it lacks consideration for culture and the influence of personality.[16][17]
 * The Psychoanalytic theory comes from Freud and is focused on childhood. This might be an issue since most believe studying children can be inconclusive. The concern is if this will be a life long occurrence or if the child will grow out of the personality. Calista.mccormack (talk) 03:34, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

Psychosocial Development Section


 * Add this section to Psychology theories, since the article does not provide enough information on Erik Erikson and his views.
 * Erikson's Psychosocial Development theory is based on eight stages of development. The stages are: trust vs. mistrust, autonomy vs. shame, initiative vs. guilt, industry vs. inferiority, identity vs. confusion, intimacy vs. isolation, generatively vs. stagnation, and integrity vs. despair.
 * These are important to the psychoanalytic theory, because it describes the different stages that people go through life. Each stage has a major impact on their life outcomes, since they are going through conflicts at each stage and whichever route they decide to take, will have certain outcomes.

Id, Ego, and Superego


 * The Id, Ego, and Superego are different parts of the mind that effect how we think and act.
 * The Id is unconscious and stems from our instinctive abilities. This includes the need for food and drive for sexual reproduction. We as humans do not need to think to feel these desires.
 * The Ego is how we view ourself. This is conscious, but not always true. For example, someone could believe they are the best looking person in the world, however this is just an opinion they have and not everyone will agree with that belief.
 * The Superego comes from the people around us. They affect what we believe in and how we view things, so this can be different depending on how you were raised and the culture you were around. The Superego is also responsible for finding the happy medium between the Id and Ego. The Id can sometimes be overly dominant when there are humanistic urges. The Ego can be very unrealistic in terms of how we view ourselves. Calista.mccormack (talk) 18:10, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
