Study Notes
Consciousness and Unconsciousness
- Consciousness is a unique human characteristic, distinguishing us from other creatures. It involves judging right and wrong, understanding facts, and discerning good from bad. It's often referred to as thought, soul, spirit, self, and consciousness.
- Being conscious means acting, feeling, and thinking, and understanding that one is doing so. Consciousness creates a separation between the individual and the world, allowing us to interact with it, understand it, and transform it.
- Consciousness involves using sensory perception, memory, and intelligence to interpret the world around us. There is also a "sixth sense" – intuition – that guides this process.
- Introspection, a method of self-analysis, involves consciously studying one's feelings, actions, and thoughts.
- Consciousness has characteristics including intuition, selection, and synthesis. Consciousness is used for recognizing the most pertinent information relevant to a topic or problem, and it brings together mental and physical experiences.
Definition of Consciousness
- Consciousness involves awareness of actions, thoughts, and feelings. Being conscious is a vital part of being human, marking a distinction from other beings.
- Consciousness enables individuals to know, understand, judge, and transform their world. This is achieved by setting the world apart from the individual
- Consciousness is uniquely human, establishing a relationship between the subject (human) and objects (world).
Psychoanalysis (A New Psychotherapeutic Method)
- Psychoanalysis is a scientific procedure (often using post-hypnosis) to uncover hidden aspects of a person's behavior, accessing unconsciousness.
- Sigmund Freud developed psychoanalysis in Vienna, Austria, after studying patients with hysteria.
- Freud used hypnosis to reveal unconscious material, but later developed psychoanalysis as a more effective long-term method.
- Analysis involves patients consciously expressing thoughts and impulses, without being directed
- Psychoanalytic goals include helping patients understand and manage conflicts and emotional struggles.
Psychoanalysis (II - System of Personality Theory)
- Psychoanalytic theory argues that unconscious forces (instincts, drives, impulses) drive human behavior.
- These unconscious forces are linked to primal parts of the personality and often contradict social values and traditions.
- These opposing forces shape the development of individual personalities.
Psychoanalysis (III- Development/Growth of Personality)
- Freud's theory of infantile sexuality (libido) influences the development of personality.
- Psychosexual stages influence personality such as the oral, anal, and phallic stages.
- Each stage is marked by a specific erogenous zone, where psychic energy is focused and fixation impacts personality development
- The process of socialization occurs through internal conflict between instinctive drives and societal demands, shaping the personality.
Later Psychoanalytic Theories
- Alfred Adler and Carl Jung were famous leaders of later psychoanalytic theories who emphasized different aspects of personality, like interpersonal factors and self-development, than Freud.
- Their theories deviated from Freud's primary emphasis on sexuality but recognized the importance of unconscious drives and conflicts regarding developing a healthy personality.
