Freudian movement
First moment (1900-1914)
First Topography: Human psyche was divided into three parts: Conscious, preconscious, and subconsious.
Conscious: contains all of the thoughts, memories, feelings, and wishes of which we are aware at any given moment. This is the aspect of our mental processing that we can think and talk about rationally. This also includes our memory, which is not always part of consciousness but can be retrieved easily and brought into awareness.
Subconscious: reservoir of feelings, thoughts, urges, and memories that are outside of our conscious awareness. The unconscious contains contents that are unacceptable or unpleasant, such as feelings of pain, anxiety, or conflict.

In his theory he expressed that some contents from the subconscious can travel to the conscious, however, only after being transformed so it becomes bearable.
“the interpretation of dreams”, when publishing this text he expressed referred to psychoanalysis for the first time, he talked about how to study the psyche it was a need to dig deep into the consciousness of the patient.
Content gets sent away to the subconscious by primary repression. An example would be traumas, the information there is the information the mind wants to hide forever and forget.
Economic aspect

Second Topography
Freud's personality theory (1923) saw the psyche structured into three parts: the id, ego and superego
The ego is the realistic part that mediates between the desires of the id and the super-ego.It is the decision-making component of personality. Ideally, the ego works by reason. The ego considers social realities and norms, etiquette and rules in deciding how to behave.
The super-ego operates as a moral conscience, The superego's function is to control the id's impulses, especially those which society forbids, such as sex and aggression. It also has the function of persuading the ego to turn to moralistic goals rather than simply realistic ones and to strive for perfection. The superego consists of two systems:
The conscience can punish the ego by causing feelings of guilt. If the ego gives in to the id's demands, the superego may make the person feel bad through guilt.
The ideal self (or ego-ideal) is an imaginary picture of how you ought to be, and represents career aspirations, how to treat other people, and how to behave as a member of society.
The id is the primitive and instinctual part of the mind that contains sexual and aggressive drives and hidden memories. It remains infantile in its function throughout a person's life and does not change with time or experience (as it is not in touch with the external world). The id is not affected by reality, logic or the everyday world, as it operates within the unconscious part of the mind. It responds directly and immediately to basic urges, needs, and desires.
Metapsychology (1915)
-
Taking into account the changes in the psyche, how the quantum of energy originate from a drive, sometimes a drive of instinct.
