2. Psychoanalysis Theory
Psychoanalysis theory by Sigmund Freud has deep exploration in the unconscious world. Freud believes that human are motivated by things that
they never realize. According to Freud, mental life divided into two that are unconscious and conscious. Freud still divides unconscious into two which
are, unconscious and preconscious. Freud also states that the location of the
mental life is just a hypothesis and unreal. Freud, 1933:28
a. Unconscious. The unconscious becomes a place for all the encouragement,
insistence, and instincts that we do not realize but apparently encouraging words, feelings, and actions. Although we are aware of our behavior, but we
sometimes do not realize how mental processes occurred. Freud believes in the existence of the unconscious is only indirectly proven. For him, the
unconscious is an explanation of the meaning behind dreams, said error, and various kinds of forget, which is known as repression Feist, 2009: 27. Freud
mentions that part of the unconscious comes from experience ancestors passed down from generation to generation. Freud sees this as a last resort,
that is, when all explanations built on personal experience felt inadequate, Freud turned to the inherited experience collectively. Freud used the concept
of phylogenetic relic in explaining some important concepts such as the Oedipus complex and castration anxiety Feist, 2009: 28.
b. Preconscious. The contents of the unconscious comes from two sources, the
first is the conscious perception Feist, 2009: 28. Consciously perceived people in a short time will soon enter into the subconscious while the focus of
attention turned to other thoughts and that is why person who is out of mind will not feel anxious. The second source of subliminal images is unconscious.
Freud believes that the mind can slip from strict censorship and into the subconscious in the form of hidden. We are not aware of the picture, and
makes us more anxious Feist, 2009: 29 c.
Conscious. Consciousness does not play a role in the theory of psychoanalysis. Defined as element of mental that every moment is exists in
consciousness. This is the only level that can direct mental life we achieve. The door to realize the nature of perceptual consciousness, which is open to
the outside world and act as a liaison with our perception of external stimuli Freud, 1933:29.
Freuds structural model is divided into three parts and the division of the mind into three parts like this area not meant to replace the topographic capital
Id, ego, and superego, but this search explains the mental picture based on function and purpose. Three areas according to Freud are id that means the
core of personality is entirely unconscious area and it has no contact with the real world, but always seek to defuse tension by way of satisfying the basic
desires because the only function is to obtain satisfaction id so we refer to it as the pleasure principle. Ego is the only region that is thought to have contact
with reality and ego is controlled by the principle of the fact that is trying to
