For Freud (1900), the mind was similar to an iceberg, with a visible part and a larger invisible section housing the unconscious mind. The unconscious mind held the key to a deeper understanding of human behaviour, motives and impulses. Freud’s theory was premised on the understanding

psychology and is one of the most important fragments of psychological history to this day. This paper will compare and contrast the differences between the great theories of the psychodynamic theory from Sigmund Freud and the humanistic theory from Carl Rogers. These two theorists have different views of how personality is developed, with both theorists influencing the world of psychological personality to this day.

The basis of psychodynamics is Sigmund Freud’s theory in which he describes three states of mind vying for their preferred goal: the Id concerned with obtaining pleasure, the Superego concerned with upholding morality, and the Ego which uses reason to balance the desires of the two extremes.
