FRUEDIAN THEORY

• Unconscious mind

  • takes up most of our mind
  • we have no awareness of this part of our mind |
  • controls many of our behaviours
  • controls our dreams
• Repress

  • instinctive urges that we need to repress - usually because they are overly sexual or aggressive
  • we push these urges into our unconscious mind
  • using repression as a defence mechanism is only a temporary solution - eventually released in our dream
