The theory is that past experiences in your unconscious mind determine your current behavior. So essentially memories that, may be or may not be significant to you now, play a role on how you express yourself and act. Psychoanalysis happens to be a form of therapy to help release built up emotions or memories.

One big thing about structuralism was introspection, observations made under controlled conditions by observers using defined vocab. These observers would use introspection to try to find the most basic components.
