Phylogeny in Psychoanalysis
Phylogeny in psychoanalysis is the study of the whole family or species of an organism in order to better understand the pre-history of it,[5] because it might have an unconscious influence on a patient, according to Sigmund Freud. After the possibilities of ontogeny, which is the development of the whole organism viewed from the light of occurrences during the course of its life,[6] have been exhausted, phylogeny might shed more light on the pre-history of an organism.
