Psychotherapy Module 3 The Conscious and Unconscious Mind

THE CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS MIND Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory of personality follows the concept of interaction of conflicting forces that operate at different levels of awareness. It believes that the conscious mind consists of everything inside our awareness. Our conscious mind can be perceived as the aware state, where it holds the thought of the present moment or the objective mind. The brain takes up sensory data from it and processes t to make up data that could be useful for us. The conscious mind is considered as the tip of the iceberg. A simple analogy for the mind would be a cross-section of a tree trunk, where the outer most ring is the conscious mind. The next ring is the non-conscious mind, followed by the pre-conscious, the subconscious mind and then comes the unconscious mind. The rings represent the five levels of the mind.
