The unconscious has two different levels- the unconscious proper and preconscious. iii. Consciousness is defined as consisting of those mental elements that are in awareness at any given moment. iv. Inhis famous “iceberg” analogy, the upper small portion of the ice represents consciousness. v. The pre-consciousness consists of all those mental elements which are not conscious but can become readily available to consciousness with little effort. vi. For this reason this is also sometimes called as available memory. vii. The unconscious is the most important part of the mind and in terms of “iceberg” analogy, it is equivalent to the part of the ice that is submerged into the water. viii. Unconscious is the largest part of the mind. ix. -

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study the Issue
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study The issue of LGBT had existed in western countries since a long time ago. One of the western countries that had history with this issue was England. The LGBT issue has already existed in England since the middle of 100‟s A.D. It was started with a Roman Emperor named Hadrian, who declared himself as a homosexual (Keele University, n.d.). The declaration made by Hadrian was very crucial, for lead it the way for LGBT issue to be recognized in the British society. The self-recognition of Hadrian as a homosexual inspired Alcuin of York who was widely knows well known as David to write poems that used homosexuality as the main topic in 797(Keele University, n.d.). This phenomenon was happened in the middle of 19th century. As golden age of literature in Britain, LGBT issue also influenced British writers during this century. One of the British writers that have a strong bond with LGBT is Oscar Wilde. Wilde was born in 1854 on Ireland and Died in 1900. He was an English poet, novelist, and playwright. He was often mentioned as an eccentric writer and he was the leader of the aesthetic movement that advocated “Art for Art‟s sake”. He was once in imprisoned for two years with hard labor for homosexual practices. One of 1 2 the plays that have been often considered as his masterpiece was The Importance of Being Earnest (1895). Another influence of the LGBT phenomenon that was proven by the Wilde‟s novel: The Picture of Dorian Gray novel featured bisexual character, Dorian Gray in 1895. -

DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY PATNA UNIVERSITY, PATNA Advance General Psychology, sem-1st Ranjeet Kumar Ranjan Assistant Professor (Part Time) [email protected] Mob. No.-6203743650 PERSONALITY Personality is an individual’s unique and relatively stable patterns of behavior, thoughts, and emotions. FREUD’S THEORY OF PERSONALITY Freud defined personality in four central points i.e., levels of consciousness, the structure of personality, anxiety and defense mechanism, and psychosexual stages of development. Psychosexual stages Oral Stage – The first stage is the oral stage. An infant is in this stage from birth to eighteen months of age. The main focus in the oral stage is pleasure seeking through the infant’s mouth. During this stage, the need for tasting and sucking becomes prominent in producing pleasure. Oral stimulation is crucial during this stage; if the infant’s needs are not met during this time frame he or she will be fixated in the oral stage. Fixation in this stage can lead to adult habits such as thumb-sucking, smoking, over-eating, and nail-biting. Personality traits can also develop during adulthood that are linked to oral fixation; these traits can include optimism and independence or pessimism and hostility. Anal Stage – The second stage is the anal stage which lasts from eighteen months to three years of age. During this stage the infant’s pleasure seeking centers are located in the bowels and bladder. Parents stress toilet training and bowel control during this time period. Fixation in the anal stage can lead to anal-retention or anal- expulsion. Anal retentive characteristics include being overly neat, precise, and orderly while being anal expulsive involves being disorganized, messy, and destructive. -

Cushioned Patient, Turmoiled Therapist:Awareness and Use of Countertransference and Enactment As Part of the Therapeutic Process
Chapter CUSHIONED PATIENT, TURMOILED THERAPIST: AWARENESS AND USE OF COUNTERTRANSFERENCE AND ENACTMENT AS PART OF THE THERAPEUTIC PROCESS Melissa Card, MA University of Johannesburg, Johannesburg, South Africa ABSTRACT The therapeutic relationship can be difficult to navigate particularly when communication is projected through the unsaid or unconscious processes in the room. The therapist is tasked with being able to detect the unsaid through implicit or explicit countertransference. How the therapist deciphers the communication and works with the experienced countertransference impacts on the therapy. The therapy can either flourish or terminate prematurely. In presenting a case study of such an experience, I explore countertransference, enactment and the therapeutic relationship with a patient who struggled to engage with her own needs. I also explore my struggle of not being able to communicate my understanding of her need to her. Keywords: Therapy, therapeutic process, countertransference, enactment Corresponding author: Melissa Card, MA. Department of Psychology, Auckland Park Kingsway Campus, University of Johannesburg, Johannesburg, South Africa. E-mail: [email protected]. 2 Melissa Card INTRODUCTION The purpose of psychotherapy1 is to improve an individual’s life functioning and satisfaction, and the value of psychotherapy is measured by this improvement (Norcross 2000). Psychotherapy can be effective in alleviating psychological symptoms and effecting character change (Fosshage 2011, Lipsey and Wilson 1993, Seligman 2003, Wampold 2000). The therapeutic relationship comprises of two parties—a therapist and a patient. For therapists to be effective agents of change, they must be both physically and mentally fit. To enable this, therapists engage in physical self-care (e.g., exercise and diet) and reflect on their patterns through journaling, attending supervision, consulting with other professionals and participating in personal therapy. -

Classical Psychoanalysis Psikologi Kepribadian
Classical Psychoanalysis Psikologi Kepribadian Rizqy Amelia Zein 2017-09-14 1 / 67 [1] Image credit: Giphy 2 / 67 Classical Psychoanalysis [...also known as Ego Psychology, Psychodynamics] 3 / 67 First things rst: Instinct! 4 / 67 Instincts (1) Freud denes it as the motivating forces that drive behaviour and determine its direction. Instinct (or Trieb in German), is a form of energy, that is transformed into physical energy and serve its function to connect the physical and psychological needs. Freud argues that human always experience instinctual tension and unable to escape from it. So most of our activities are directed to reduce this tension. People could have different ways to reduce the tension (e.g. sexual drives can manifest in various sexual behaviours). It's also possible to substitute the objects (displacement) and this process is primarily important to determine one's behaviour. Freud coined the terms "life" and "death" instincts, which posit different process of primal motivations. 11 / 67 Instincts (2) The Life Instinct 1. Serve the purpose of survival of the individual and the species by seeking to satisfy the needs for food, water, air, and sex. 2. The life instincts are oriented toward growth and development. The psychic energy manifested by the life instincts is the libido. 3. The libido can be attached to or invested in objects, a concept Freud called cathexis. 4. So if you like Ryan Gosling so much, for example, then your libido is cathected to him. 12 / 67 Instincts (2) The Death Instinct 1. In opposition to the life instincts, Freud postulated the destructive or death instincts. -
