NOTES
Most of us think that we are aware of what we do and why
Psychoanalysis
The approach to personality that opposes the view that things may happen by accident
It originated by an Austrian physician named Sigmund Freud
, His impact in the field was huge in the field of psychology
His views started when behavioral sciences started
He is the father od personality psychology
Psychodynamic: the idea that personality is a set of processes that are always in motion
o Forces that emerge can be channeled, modified, or transformed
Personality is not one process but rather, several working against each other
o They compete for control over the persons behaviour
Theme 1: Defense
The personality is filled with conflicting views
o Continual defense: This key aspect appears and becomes a very important
This approach assumes that everyone experiences threats
o Something that makes you feel shameful
o Something you regret
o You feel unworthy
Whatever threaten you, your defense mechanism keeps from overpowering you
Theme 2: experiences are suffused with qualities (Lust, aggression, sexuality, death)
Links to Freud's evolutionary theory
We are animals who's life's purpose is reproduction
He emphasized the role of sexuality in an unusual way
His perspective was metaphorical
He was a physician and related a lot of biological processes to mental processes
He has a method
o Process that goes up or down
He believed that people acts are rarely what they seem but rather they symbolize hidden
qualities
Topographical model of the mind
Freud used three forms to explain the mind
3 forms of the mind
Form of mind Explanation Example
Conscious What you are aware of now Thoughts, emotions
Preconscious They can be brought to awareness easily Ordinary memory
Unconscious Not directly accessible awareness. Not Desires, urges, ideas tied to conflict,
gone/ exert continual influence on anxiety, and pain
consciousness
Material in the conscious and the preconscious can move back and forth
Material in the conscious and the preconscious can move to the unconscious
Material in the unconscious cannot move back (Mental gate)
The structural model
The consciousness is the tip of the iceberg
