CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The concept of the unconscious was central to Freud’s view of the mind. He believed that the majority of what we experience day-to-day (the emotions, beliefs and impulses) takes place in the unconscious and is not viewable to us in the conscious mind.

Detailed explanation-2: -Unconscious motivation plays a prominent role in Sigmund Freud’s theories of human behavior. According to Freud and his followers, most human behavior is the result of desires, impulses, and memories that have been repressed into an unconscious state, yet still influence actions.

Detailed explanation-3: -In psychoanalysis, the analyst attempts to bring repressed unconscious conflicts to the patient’s awareness. In other words, by providing patients an understanding (’insight’) of the unconscious aspects of their problems, patients have the opportunity to work them through and subsequently master these difficulties.

Detailed explanation-4: -According to Freud, our personality develops from a conflict between two forces: our biological aggressive and pleasure-seeking drives versus our internal (socialized) control over these drives. Our personality is the result of our efforts to balance these two competing forces.
