What school of psychology emphasizes the role of the unconscious mind?

Cognitive psychology
Psychodynamic psychology
Behavioral psychology
Humanistic psychology

The correct answer is: Psychodynamic psychology

Psychodynamic psychology emphasizes the role of the unconscious mind. This school of psychology is based on Freud's theory, which suggests that our unconscious thoughts, memories, and desires greatly influence our behavior. While cognitive psychology also looks at mental processes, it does not focus on the unconscious mind. Behavioral psychology focuses on observable behavior, while humanistic psychology focuses on individual growth and potential. These schools of psychology do not specifically emphasize the role of the unconscious mind. Therefore, the correct answer is B Psychodynamic psychology.
