Preferred term

psychoanalytic theory  

Definition(s)

  • Psychoanalytic theorists have emphasized various aspects of development across the human life span since Freud's introduction of the genetic principle—the persistence of the past into the present—over a century ago. Although psychoanalytic developmental theory now encompasses a number of different and sometimes mutually incompatible frameworks, this entry, owing to limitations of space, will briefly review three of the most influential among them.
