Answer: they believe that sexual and aggressive impulses buried deep within the unconscious mind influence the way people think.

Psychodynamic refers to the changing interaction between forces that influence and determine human behaviour, feelings and emotions.

In essence, it tells that a faulty adaptation to a new situation is in play and this adaptation is unconscious.

Aggressive and sexual impulses, are usually buried deep within the unconscious mind and these are psychodynamic factors which affect human behaviour.
