One of the most heated debates in the field of psychology and cognitive neuroscience revolves around repressed memories. A repressed memory occurs when someone has experienced severe trauma and they unconsciously suppress details about this event or the event as a whole. Later in life, when asked about this experience either through therapy, a court trial or another manner, the memory could be recovered in this person’s consciousness.

Research/ Methodology ¬¬¬¬¬The initial of contemporary personality theories is known as the psychoanalytic theory developed by Sigmund Freud. Psychology wasn’t the only academic subject influenced by Freud’s theory; it also influenced literature, art, philosophy, cultural studies, film concepts, etc. To comprehend Freud’s theory, it is necessary to begin with the understanding of the unconscious.

The Psychoanalysis therapy is a clinical method for treating psychopathology, which was founded by Sigmund Freud (1856-1939), based on the characteristic of human behaviors from the ID, Ego and Super-Ego theory. Freudian psychoanalysis is predicated on the assumption that everyone has a conscious and an unconscious mind.

Also known as the father of psychoanalysis, he formulated the theory that the mind is a complex energy system, the analysis of which was the focus of the field of psychology (Thornton). Michel Foucault (1926–1984) was a French historian and philosopher who had strong impact not only in philosophy but also in a range of humanistic and social scientific disciplines.
