Some concepts (i. e. repression) have been supported beyond freud"s original theories. Instead, psychoanalysts today focus on childhood relationships and adult conflicts with others: topics: unconscious, motivation, conflict, attachment, etc. Psychic determinism: nothing happens by chance or accident, everything we do, think, say and feel is an expression of our min. Contemporary views on the unconscious: motivated unconscious view, behavior is motivated by unconscious processes cognitive unconscious view . Individuals can be unaware of information that their sensory stimuli are processing (i. e. subliminal perception, priming, ability to type) Information is not in conscious awareness but is not necessarily repressed.
