Freud's View Of Consciousness

• Unconscious


  A dump box for urges, feelings and ideas that are tied to anxiety, conflict and pain.
• Unconscious

  Freud felt that this part of the mind was not directly accessible to awareness.
• Conscious


  Part of the mind that holds what you’re aware of. You can verbalize about your conscious experience and you can think about it in a logical fashion.
• These feelings and thoughts have not disappeared and are exerting influence on our actions and our conscious awareness
• Preconscious

  Ordinary memory. So although things stored here aren’t in the conscious, they can be readily brought into conscious.
