Freud’s Contribution to Psychology

Freud’s contribution to psychology was the most important step to understand how the human psyche woks. His explanation of drives was very clear to me, where according to Freud drive as an inside motivation to realize all your needs and desires and take away all negative energies that can impact the realization of your goals.
Freud’s conception of human psyche, is also known as the iceberg, in this metaphor is like an iceberg floating in the water and the iceberg is divided into three different sections, the top section is the conscious, the middle part is called the pre-conscious and the bottom of the iceberg is the un-conscious part.
The conscious part of the human psyche is responsible for fulfilling the person’s needs and wants and has no place to consider repercussion, as long as the needs of the individual are met. Example to this is a person that is selfish and only care for themselves and not caring is their actions hurt anyone else, and if they do see the affects their actions have they chose not to care at all. The conscious is also connected to the Ego, the ego is reality thinking
The preconscious is the just beneath the conscious mind and is somewhat unaware of what is going on, people often refer to it as that voice in the back of my mind.
The unconscious is beneath and unaware of what’s going on with the conscious, the unconscious is very important in shaping the personality of the person and how they react to certain situations. The unconscious is also close to the ID, the ID is responsible for pleasure principle and wish fulfillment. The unconscious is very influenced by the individual’s past childhood and other early childhood experiences. If a person had a happy childhood they would often grow up to being very outgoing and are thought of to being a people person and a person with an unhappy childhood would be very reclusive and a loner because they grew to not have any trust for other people.
Freud was a very good psychiatrist in his time, he is known as a the father of psychiatrist this a deserving title for the man that helped us understand how people’s minds work.
