Not responsive to our deliberate efforts at recall
Core operations of personality take place
Most important according to Freud
1. Inner Drives 1
, 💡 Psychodynamic = basic drive -
always in motion
Anatomy of the mind
ID
Unconscious layer
Basic impulses (sex + aggression)
Pleasure principle = ID seeks immediate gratification regardless of logic or
reasoning
Primary Process Thinking = To discharge tension, ID forms an internal image/
hallucination (wish-fulfillment) of desired object eg.👶🏼
wants food ▶️
pictures
its mother's breast
Ego
All levels of consciousness
Negotiating between ID impulses and Superego's inhibitions
Reality principle = ability of the mind to assess the reality of the external world
and act upon it accordingly
Secondary process thinking = until a real object is found, ego keeps the tension
in check
1. Inner Drives 2
, Rational + logical BUT NO moral sense
Seeks safety and survival
Superego
Morality principle
Operates on all levels of consciousness
Provides moral standards by which the Ego operates
Ego ideal: good behavior or standards of excellence
Conscience: behavior our parents disapprove of and punish
Introjection = process of "taking in" the values of our parents
💡 Conscious Vs Conscience (remember the difference)
Defense Mechanisms
Characteristics:
They can operate unconsciously
They all distort or transform reality in one way or another
Protect ego
1. Inner Drives 3
, Reduce anxiety + guilt in the SR
Denial
When you refuse to believe that a real condition / event took place
threats with other sources
eg. your parents are having sexual intercourse with a preferred position
Repression (unconscious)
The process of preventing an idea or impulse from becoming conscious
originates from dynamic of the mind
eg. the fact that you're unpopular or not good at dancing
Suppression (conscious Anne Freud - don't need to know)
conscious preventing unacceptable thoughts, feelings or urges from reaching
conscious awareness
force yourself to forget something
Intellectualization
The tendency to think about threats in cold, analytical and emotional detached
ways
eg. the husband has cancer so the wife tries to learn about the disease as
much as she can analytically in order to detach herself emotionally
Rationalization
Think rationally and logically for a behavior that you did for unacceptable
reasons
eg. when you don't get into medical school, think that you didn't want to be a
doctor anyways
Projection
Ascribing your insecurities / threatening urges in yourself into someone else
1. Inner Drives 4
