The Unconscious Mind, in psychodynamic theory, consists of mental processes not available to conscious awareness, influencing behavior, feelings, and judgments.
Key Points:
- Freudian Perspective: Houses repressed desires, memories, and emotions.
- Modern Views: Includes implicit memories, automatic thought processes, and biases.
- Therapeutic Relevance: Insight-oriented therapies (psychoanalysis, psychodynamic) aim to make unconscious material conscious for healing and personal growth.
