Who proposed the psychodynamic school of psychology?

  1. William James

  2. Sigmund Freud

  3. Wilhelm Wundt

  4. Ivan Pavlov

The correct answer is: Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud is considered the founder of the psychodynamic school of psychology, which focuses on the role of unconscious thoughts and emotions in shaping behavior and personality. He believed in the importance of childhood experiences and the unconscious mind in understanding human behavior. While William James, Wilhelm Wundt, and Ivan Pavlov are all important figures in psychology, they are associated with other psychological schools or theories and did not propose the psychodynamic approach.
