The psychoanalytical theory is one of the oldest theories in psychology. It gives importance to the unconscious thoughts and perceptions that have a significant impact on a student. Sigmund Freud developed this theory.
Teachers are encouraged to look at the root or cause of a student’s behavior. It claims that a student can misbehave due to four reasons:
- Attention-seeking: Misbehaving to gain attention from peers or teachers.
- Power-seeking: Misbehaving to seek power as they feel alone or like an outsider.
- Revenge-seeking: Misbehaving because they feel mistreated.
- Feelings of inadequacy: Misbehaving because they feel like they have failed or aren’t capable of success.
