Rationale: Psychoanalysis is a powerful method for studying the unconscious. Freud introduced the structural model of the mind which includes the id, ego, and superego which allies [interrelates] with the ego to control impulses of the id. Freud's work shifted the focus of psychiatry from classification to a dynamic view of mental phenomena. Psychic determinism states that no human behavior is accidental.
