Psychoanalysis: Basic psychoanalytic theories

It cannot be said that psychoanalysis has a single theory that is accepted by all psychoanalytic schools. However, it can be said that all schools of psychoanalysis belong to a set of basic theories developed by Freud, whether through denial, development, or transformation. This core of theories and concepts of psychoanalysis can be gathered in a more or less such canon:

Consciousness before consciousness, the unconscious
Based on the experiences he had with patients, Freud developed a topographical division of the human psyche, distinguishing:

Awareness : Conscious content can be the subject of attention at any time or can be arbitrarily removed from it.;
Preconscious : mental content accumulates here, which is not immediately accessible to consciousness, but it can be discovered by searching based on the study of context and connections connecting other already known awareness of the content, they can also appear based on association;
unconsciousness : this is mental content that cannot be directly realized, despite attempts; in order for the unconscious content to be in the field of consciousness, the individual must resort to certain methods known, for example, psychoanalytic therapy (for example, dream analysis, free association research) or obtained from hypnosis; the unconscious is a system consisting of mostly from suppressed content.
This is called Freud's First Theme.

"Id", "Ego", "Superego";
Freud connected these three areas of mental life with a model of three functions or cases, distinguishing:

" Id " is a field of natural urges and instincts;
"Ego" is an example aimed primarily at consciousness, reflecting the content given to conscious perception; a place where id and superego meet, who constantly argue with each other.;
The "superego" is an example of moral ideals and norms; the instance tries to control the identifier.
This is called Freud's Second Theme.

Two principles of the mental process
There are two principles related to the description of mental examples that govern the relationship between them.:


the pleasure principle, the reality principle.
"Who", as an exponent of impulsive life, is guided by the principle of pleasure, that is, he seeks to create a situation of optimal satisfaction of impulses. These aspirations are based on the "I-am" striving to create a situation in which his moral requirements will be maximally realized. The "I" tries to find a compromise between these statements, guided by the principle of reality.

Theory of impulses
Freud understood Freud's innate human being, a psychological, self-replicating basic need. The concept of drive is related to the concepts of: source, target, force , and drive object:

The source of sexual desire (libido) is the erogenous zones, that is, those physiological spheres in which a stimulus is created that is experienced on the mental plane.;
Strength is an imperative quality of drive, manifested in the form of affect and image.;
The purpose of a drive is a set of behaviors that make up its most prominent component.;
and finally, the object of desire is the most variable factor - it is an object that, due to its properties, is suitable for achieving the desired satisfaction.
Freud distinguished between two main motives: libido (eroticism, eros) and death (destruction, thanatos).
