Which of the following best describes Freuds psychoanalytical theory ?

  • A.He is best known for identifying levels of needs
  • B.States three level of consciousness with an iceberg
  • C.He outlined how cognition or thinking abilities develop as result of interactions
  • D.He identified eight stages each of which posed a crisis to be resolved

Answer: B

Freud's theory is best described by three levels of consciousness with an iceberg.

Freud divided the mind into the conscious, the preconscious and the unconscious, often pictured as an iceberg: the conscious is the small part above water, the preconscious lies just below the surface, and the vast unconscious is hidden beneath. Unconscious wishes and conflicts drive much of behaviour in his psychoanalytic theory.

The other options describe other theorists. Levels of needs is Maslow's hierarchy, cognition developing through interaction fits Piaget and Vygotsky, and eight stages each with a crisis is Erikson's psychosocial theory.
