Psycho dynamic theories

The psychodynamic approach includes all the theories in psychology that see human functioning based upon the interaction of drives and forces within the person, particularly unconscious, and between the different structures of the personality.
The psychodynamic theories of personality are mainly composed of famous theorists such as Sigmund Freud, Erik Erikson and Alfred Adler. The Object Relations Theory also belongs to this group of personality theories. 
The psychodynamic perspective is concerned with how internal processes such as needs, drives, and emotions motivate human behavior.

Drive or instinct theory. This theory proposes that human behavior is motivated by two basic instincts: thanatos, or the drive for aggression or destruction, and eros, or the drive for life (through sexual gratification).Recent revisions of drive theory have suggested that human behavior is alsomotivated by drives formastery (see D.Goldstein,1996) and for connectedness (Borden, 2009).
