Thanks...I really enjoyed the video. Extremely helpful.

I'm confused. Are you talking about the psychoanalytic theory? The psychodynamic theory is with Adler, Horney, and Jung. These are neo freudians who were influenced by Freud but extended his theories in other directions. You should fix this because it can confuse people who are taking the AP Psychology exam, or just people who are interested in psychology overall.
