How would a psychologist Psychoanalytic explain the client’s behavior?

A psychoanalytic psychologists would most likely explain a client's behavior via their unconscious and subconscious thoughts of their childhood. The psychologist will probably explain behavior with Sigmund Freud's defence mechanisms, which are ways that people cope with stress and anxiety. These mechanisms include repression, projection, denial, displacement, regression, rationalization, sublimation, and reaction formation.

Explanation:

Psychoanalysis is a theory created by Sigmund Freud. It places emphasis on the unconscious and subconscious mind, and sees actions as a result of a conflict between the id, ego, and superego. Although psychoanalysis in the current world is typically unreliable as a means of treatment, psychoanalysis was one of the first theories that prompted the creation of the field of psychology.
