Answer:

Psychodynamic theory

Step-by-step explanation:

Professor Jones observed that one of her students calls her "mother" instead of professor or doctor. Dr. Jones interprets this in light of psychodynamic theory, and concludes that student is mis-speaking because he is unconsciously associating her with his mother.

Psychodynamic theory studies that human behavior is a result of interactions of humans with other and explains this behavior in terms of the three parts of the brain ( id, ego and superego).
