Psychodynamic perspective (Freud)
Chain of thoughts from childhood may produce painful, unconscious memories (psychological problems)
Our behaviour is partly directed by unconscious processes (because of past experiences or situations)
Unsuccessful resolutions of problems= unconscious fixations and deployment of defence mechanisms
Structure of the mind
Unconscious: primitive wishes and impulses
Conscious: everything we are aware of
Preconscious: not conscious, can become conscious through a cue
Psychodynamic
Psychoanalysis
Mind= iceberg
Passions and thoughts are repressed because they are socially unacceptable
Freud's theory and treatment techniques
Interacting systems:
Id
Superego
Ego
Conflicts between biological impulses and internalised social restraints
Structure of personality

Exposes the id's demands
