AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -According to Freud (1915), the unconscious mind is the primary source of human behavior. Like an iceberg, the most important part of the mind is the part you cannot see. Our feelings, motives, and decisions are actually powerfully influenced by our past experiences, and stored in the unconscious.

Detailed explanation-2: -Psychodynamic therapy is a type of talk therapy that helps people bring their unconscious (hidden) feelings to the surface. This form of therapy can help them understand and eventually manage the unconscious feelings that can influence their daily lives.

Detailed explanation-3: -Psychodynamic theory, also known as psychoanalytic psychotherapy, helps clients understand their emotions and unconscious patterns of behavior. By talking through these emotions and behaviors with a social worker, clients come to know themselves better and make better decisions for themselves.

Detailed explanation-4: -Our unconscious mind may not only nudge us to choose a particular option, but it may help muster the necessary motivation to actually achieve it. Psychologists have long known that people given power in a social science experiment often exhibit selfish and corrupt behavior, putting personal interests first.

Detailed explanation-5: -Freud was a psychodynamic psychologist who developed the theory of the unconscious mind. As humans, it is believed that we only have access to a maximum of 10% of our brains and the other 90% is inaccessible. Freud described the brains structure to resemble an iceberg, the 10% is what we see above the surface.
