Neo-Freudian.

Explanation:

The Neo-Freudians are a group of loosely linked theorists who are influenced by Sigmund Freud, but who extended his theories, often in social or cultural directions. These theorists, referred to as neo-Freudians, generally agreed with Freud that childhood experiences matter, but deemphasized sex, focusing more on the social environment and effects of culture on personality.

Some of the notable neo-Freudians are Alfred Adler, Carl Jung, Erik Erikson, and Karen Horney. The neo-Freudian approaches have been criticized, because they tend to be philosophical rather than based on sound scientific research.
