The idea of a subconscious and an unconscious mind was originally proposed by Freud. He believed human behaviors, motives and actions were all guided by what lies in his subconscious and more importantly, his unconscious.
While succeeding psychologists took fragments of his theory and worked on them, a couple of them completely disregarded his theories. Irrespective of what these psychologists believed, Freud still continues to awe-struck people with his ideas.
Many of us are very curious. We want to know what guides our behavior. Why do we think the way we think? What lies under all the conscious thoughts? Where do random thoughts come from if we aren’t aware of them at first? There’s just too many questions!
Freud firmly believed in his theories. This belief resulted in testing methods which still continue to be famous amongst the masses.
