Levels of Consciousness
For Freud, human nature can be explained in terms of:A Conscious MindA Preconscious MindAn Unconscious Mind
![Page 8: Chapter 2 Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Theories](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d8d5503460f94a757a5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Conscious Mind
Attuned to events in the present and an awareness of the outside world.
![Page 9: Chapter 2 Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Theories](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d8d5503460f94a757a5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Preconscious Mind
An area between the conscious mind and unconscious minds; it contains aspects of both.
Hidden memories or forgotten experiences can be remembered in this area if given the proper cues.
![Page 10: Chapter 2 Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Theories](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d8d5503460f94a757a5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Unconscious Mind
Beneath the preconscious mind.
The most powerful and least understood part of the personality.
The instinctual, repressed, and powerful forces of the personality exist here.
![Page 11: Chapter 2 Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Theories](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d8d5503460f94a757a5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Formation of Personality
Freud hypothesized that the personality is formed from the interaction of three developing parts.The Id – confined to the unconsciousThe Ego – operates primarily in the
conscious but also in the preconscious and the unconscious.
The Superego – confined to the unconscious.
![Page 12: Chapter 2 Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Theories](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d8d5503460f94a757a5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Id
The id is the source of all energy.
Comprises the basic inherited givens of the personality and is present from birth.
It is amoral, impulsive, and irrational.
Pleasure principle – it pursues what it wants because it cannot tolerate tension.
![Page 13: Chapter 2 Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Theories](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d8d5503460f94a757a5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Id
The id contains:Basic life energy and life-preserving
instincts collectively known as eros.The psychic energy that accompanies
them known as libido.Basic death instincts known as thanatos.
![Page 14: Chapter 2 Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Theories](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d8d5503460f94a757a5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Primary Process
Operates through drives, instincts, and images (e.g. dreaming, hallucinating, and fantasizing) – a process known as primary process.
May bring temporary relief but ultimately unsatisfying.
![Page 15: Chapter 2 Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Theories](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d8d5503460f94a757a5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The EgoThe second system to develop after the id and before the superego.A strong ego is essential to healthy functioning.Moderates the wishes and desires of the id and superego to keep the person from being too self-indulgent or too morally restrained.Reality principle – it devises ways to achieve appropriate goals, obtain energy for activities from the id, and keep the person in harmony with the environment.
![Page 16: Chapter 2 Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Theories](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d8d5503460f94a757a5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Secondary Process
The ego’s way of thinking is known as the secondary process.
Rationally thinking through situations.
![Page 17: Chapter 2 Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Theories](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d8d5503460f94a757a5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Superego
It is the moral branch of the mind and operates according to what is ideal.
Contrasts with the id.
Functions according to the moral principle – strives for perfection and arises from parental moral teachings.
![Page 18: Chapter 2 Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Theories](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d8d5503460f94a757a5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Superego
Ego Ideal – rewards those who follow parental and societal dictates.
Conscience – part of the superego that punishes by inducing guilt when you act against what you have been taught.
By striving for perfection, the superego sometimes forces a person into restrained or no action when facing a dilemma.
