1. Consciousness

experiences and materials that have been
repressed and cannot be recalled at will.
3. Preconscious

Material that refers to memories that
can be recalled to consciousness with
some effort
Freud believed that uncovering the
unconscious material generates an
understanding of behavior that
enables individual to make choices
about their behavior.

anxiety it uses defense mechanisms to
protect itself from painful experience

can lead to difficulty in facing reality
and solving problems
