What are the similarities between the psychoanalytic theory and the behaviorist theory?
There are not many similarities between psychoanalytic theory and behaviorist theory. Psychoanalytic theory is based on the unconscious and conscious thoughts of a person where as Behaviorism is based on the behavior of an individual without taking into account any thoughts or cognitions of the individual. The only similarity that I see is that they are both theories to explain human behavior – one looking at thoughts and one completely ignoring thoughts.
