The **Psychodynamic Theory** is one of the theories that propose that development is largely determined by how well people resolve conflicts they face at different ages. According to this theory, conflicts arise when the individual's needs are not met. The individual then experiences anxiety and tension which motivates them to resolve the conflict. The resolution of these conflicts is what leads to development.
For example, a child who is not given enough attention by their parents may develop a sense of mistrust towards others. This mistrust can then lead to difficulties in forming relationships later in life.
