Psychodynamic psychology emphasizes the systematic study of the psychological forces that underlie human behaviour, feelings, and emotions and how they might relate to early experience.
Consciousness is the awareness of the self in space and time and is defined as human awareness to both internal and external stimuli.
Most psychodynamic approaches use talk therapy to examine maladaptive functions that developed early in life and are, at least in part, unconscious.
Self is the archetype symbolizing the totality of the personality. It represents the striving for unity, wholeness, and integration.
Persona is the mask or image a person presents to the world. It is designed to make a particular impression on others, while concealing a person’s true nature.
