Study Notes

Personality is an individual's unique pattern of thinking, feeling, and behaving.
Personality theory aims to explain similarities and differences in people's patterns.
The psychodynamic approach to personality is based on the idea that personality is motivated by inner forces and conflicts.
Sigmund Freud was the pioneer of the psychodynamic approach.
Freud's theory suggests that personality operates on three levels of awareness: conscious, preconscious, and unconscious.
The conscious mind includes thoughts, feelings, and actions of which people are currently aware.
The preconscious mind includes mental activities that are not currently aware but can be retrieved to conscious awareness.
The unconscious mind is a reservoir of feelings, thoughts, urges, and memories that are not conscious.
Freud compared the three levels of mind to an iceberg, where only 10% is visible (conscious) and 90% is under the water (preconscious and unconscious).
To understand personality, it is necessary to expose what is in the unconscious by interpreting clues such as slips of the tongue, fantasies, and dreams.
