His Psychoanalytic theory proposes that unconscious play a vital role in the determination of one's abnormal behavior. According to him, unconscious aspect contain memories that are painful, hurting, unresolved childhood conflicts,etc.
Although such memories can't be remembered, but they may have an effect on the conscious part of the personality.
