Freud's theories of personality development focus on how our natural psychic drives adjust due to societal regulations. Freud emphasized how events in early childhood dictated our behavior later in life. Adult development was not Freud's focus, and he rejected hierarchical models of personality development because they unfairly imposed societal norms upon the individual.
