sigmund freud
sigmund freud (1856–1939) made significant contributions to the study of personality in political psychology through his theories on the unconscious motives of behavior. freud suggested that a leader's behavior and decision making skill were largely determined by the interaction in their personality of the id, ego and superego, and their control of the pleasure principle and reality principle. the psychoanalytic approach has also been used extensively in psychobiographies of political leaders. psychobiographies draw inferences from personal, social and political development, starting from childhood, to understand behavior patterns that can be implemented to predict decision-making motives and strategies.

during the 1960s and 1970s, as the beneficial effects of haloperidol (haldol) on tics became known, the psychoanalytic approach to tourette syndrome was questioned. the turning point came in 1965, when arthur k. shapiro—described as "the father of modern tic disorder research"—treated a tourette's patient with haloperidol, and published a paper criticizing the psychoanalytic approach.
