Aspects of the Application of the Psychodynamic
Direction in the Study of Personality
Abstract
The psychodynamic approach to personality studies allows the study of the deep, subconscious psychological processes of a person, the influence of early life experiences, and behavioral patterns shaped by internal conflicts. This approach explains the structure of personality through components such as the id, ego, and superego and emphasizes the role of defense mechanisms in emotional regulation and behavior formation.
The psychodynamic approach, using methods such as observation, free association, projective tests, and dream analysis, creates conditions for the in-depth study of the subconscious motives and psychological dynamics of the individual. Modern psychodynamic approaches, on the other hand, integrate concepts such as attachment theory and object relations and explain the factors of personality development in a broader context.
This framework is considered an important research direction from a theoretical and practical point of view for the study of personality formation and the origin of problems.
