Evolution of Psychoanalytic Theory
Freud believes that the unconscious is the part that operates beyond consciousness, which means that human beings are influenced by unconscious thoughts without actually knowing it happened. So this idea led Freud to develop the psychoanalytic theory. In the early 1900s, Freud and other followers such as Carl Gustav Jung and Alfred Adler were prominent in the movement, however Freud's idea was challenged and he soon broke off from them to continue exploring psychoanalysis.

Famous quotes containing the words evolution of, evolution and/or theory:
“The evolution of humans can not only be seen as the grand total of their wars, it is also defined by the evolution of the human mind and the development of the human consciousness.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
“By contrast with history, evolution is an unconscious process. Another, and perhaps a better way of putting it would be to say that evolution is a natural process, history a human one.... Insofar as we treat man as a part of nature—for instance in a biological survey of evolution—we are precisely not treating him as a historical being. As a historically developing being, he is set over against nature, both as a knower and as a doer.”
—Owen Barfield (b. 1898)
“Lucretius
Sings his great theory of natural origins and of wise conduct; Plato
smiling carves dreams, bright cells
Of incorruptible wax to hive the Greek honey.”
—Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
