The introduction of psychoanalytic theory to the field of psychology in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by Sigmund Freud provided an innovative approach to the examination and treatment of an individual's behavior. Through Freud's definition of psychoanalysis, the idea that behaviors are not random, but rather loaded with meaning, has been summarized. In general terms, Freud viewed psychoanalysis as attributing thoughts and actions to an individual's unconscious motivations and conflicts through the use of personality and therapeutic methods. Under this theory, Freud developed an idea of ​​an individual's mind by analyzing it in relation to an iceberg. Much like an iceberg, which contains various exposed and concealed regions, Freud viewed knowledge through the same lens. He generated a clear view of the human mind into three distinct categories: the id, the ego, and the superego. Compared to an iceberg, the id is part of the structure entirely submerged in water. Analyzing the role of the id in the human mind allows us to better understand this placement. Freud presented the id as the division of the human mind that functions as the unconscious source of sexual drives, instincts, irrational impulses, pleasure, and immediate gratification.

My main problem with Freud's approach is his aversion to the scientific concepts behind the idea of ​​personality in psychology. Although it develops an idea of ​​personality, it places too much emphasis on parental influence and repression, rather than focusing on genetics, biology, environment and countless other aspects of a individual. In order to establish an adequate perspective on personality, it is essential that all possible factors are included..
