Dynamic psychology

Dynamic psychology

Dynamic psychology It is an approach oriented to the study of the forces acting in the individual, between the organization of personality and the consequences of these.

It could be said that Freud has been the pioneer in being interested in the dynamic character of the person, however, since ancient times many thinkers, including philosophers, considered that the human being was divided into several principles, such as the spirit, or I the Thumus, or violent passions and Epithumia, or wishes and greed.

However, Freud's main contributions to dynamic psychology are the construction of the psychic instances known as this, or the pulsional (the biological), the self, which mediates with the outside world, and the superego, or moral consciousness of the self, focused on the social.

Thus, dynamic psychology aspires to explain behavior in its dynamism, either in its normal or pathological structure.

Dynamic psychology

For dynamic psychology, psychological phenomena result from the conflict between forces exerted by pulsional pressure.

Therefore, one of the maximum contributions of psychoanalysis to dynamic psychology is having discovered the unconscious as part of the psychic life and put aside by repression. Said unconscious, dynamic, is contained in experiences that allow explaining behaviors in the human being.

In 1915, Sigmund Freud had conceptualized in metapsychology three very important notions for the psychic apparatus. These are: the topic, the economic and the dynamic. The latter, it could be said, is the pillar of dynamic psychology, since it refers to the unconscious contents present in the behavior of each individual.

From the unconscious, it was possible to understand some phenomena that resulted from a conflict and certain forces of pulsional origin.

To this rate, it can be considered that Dynamic psychology includes the study of the unconscious, and of what average between unconscious desires and impulses and the conscious motivations.

It is from where the dynamics arises, that is, of the measure to which it tries to establish a relationship between the rational and what is considered irrational and that lies inside, often called "dark forces".

Dynamic psychology in institutions today

Every day dynamic psychology comes to be part of different institutions, because, part of the premise that every thought or emotion is accompanied by changes at the physiological level.

Therefore, in an attempt to see the human being beyond a disease, dynamic psychology cares about paying attention to their emotions, fantasies and thoughts.

Indeed, for psychologist Francisco Morales Carmona, in his study on Dynamic psychology and medical institution, It is important that there is an understanding of psychic phenomena and how they relate to certain biological events

So that, when talking about 'dynamics' you can be referring to the branch of psychology that addresses psychic phenomena, or how Some dynamisms in the human being shape psychological events.

As for the object of study of dynamic psychology, there are those who have stressed that it is about behavior, while others prefer to refer to the processes that are executed unconsciously.

In any case, the object of study of dynamic psychology is still under discussion, then, what Freud left in his work is quite complex, since, for him, the behavior was endowed with a symbolic character, which could escape the Conscious and go further, that is, that could include neurotic or delusions components.

Egotism, when everything revolves around you

Components of psychoanalysis

To understand a little more about this psychological approach, you must keep in mind that In psychoanalysis, aspects inherent to personality are important, since these will give rise to the different behaviors issued by individuals.

For this reason, the main method of study of psychoanalysis is introspection, thereby analyzing the conscious, such as that level of the mind made up of thoughts, perceptions and memories, as well as the unconscious, or of that instance that remains hidden and that is formed by repressed desires.

In addition, the approach to the preconscious level is vital, or link between the conscious and unconscious levels, in which the emotions, memories, learning and thoughts of which the subjects are not aware are found, but to which, voluntarily, you can voluntarily to access.
