3 Science Sigmund Freud Much of human behavior is irrational (beyond reason) so to understand it, look at the unconscious part of the mind to understand people s actions. Analyze dreams helped to understand people s behavior His ideas were controversial because they weakened faith in reason, but they gained much influence
