This research paper focuses on analyzing the psychoanalytic theory and psychoanalysis method. Sigmund Freud is the father of modern psychology, which analyzes the human mind and claims that the unconscious mind, controls the conscious mind. The human mind has different layers like a conscious mind, preconscious mind, and unconscious mind. Ego, superego, and id are the apparatuses of the mind and functioning in person. The unconscious mind is a repository from which one's personality has emerged. Dreams are the indirect outlets of the unconscious mind. Therefore, in the psychoanalysis method, dreams are the royal roads to the unconscious mind. Freud's theory analyzes the life instinct and death instinct in human beings. Life strives for the dialectical synthesis of birth and death. Freud's two disciples expressed dissent against his libido theory and established their independent schools of psychology.

ABSTRACT
This research paper focuses on analyzing the psychoanalytic theory and
psychoanalysis method. Sigmund Freud is the father of modern psychology,
which analyzes the human mind and claims that the unconscious mind,
controls the conscious mind. The human mind has different layers like a
conscious mind, preconscious mind, and unconscious mind. Ego, superego,
and id are the apparatuses of the mind and functioning in person. The
unconscious mind is a repository from which one's personality has emerged.
Dreams are the indirect outlets of the unconscious mind. Therefore, in the
psychoanalysis method, dreams are the royal roads to the unconscious mind.
Freud's theory analyzes the life instinct and death instinct in human beings.
Life strives for the dialectical synthesis of birth and death. Freud's two
disciples expressed dissent against his libido theory and established their
independent schools of psychology.
Keywords: Unconscious mind, Conscious mind, Id, Ego, Superego, Eros, Thanatos. Libido.
Introduction
Psychoanalytic theory helps us to understand the personality and personality development of
the person and psychoanalysis is a clinical method to treat psychopathology. Sigmund Freud
was known as the founder of psychoanalytic theory. He developed this theory based on the
development of the physical science of that time. Now the psychoanalytic theory has
undergone many refinements under the influence of modern science.
Sigmund Freud had developed his psychoanalysis method from his mentor and friend, Josef
Breuer. Breuer had a patient named, Anna O. She spent most of her time along with her ailing
father by nursing him at the age of twenty-one. A bad cough had developed in her, but there
was no proof of any physical basis for the cause of this cough. Later she had developed some
speech difficulties and then she became speechless immediately. After some period, she
started to speak only in English instead of her usual German. After the death of her father,
she refused to take water in her life and showed a set of problems in her life, such as lost her
sensation in her feet and hands, developed some paralysis and involuntary spasms in her

body. She had undergone through the visual hallucinations and a tunnel vision. With these
new developments, special experts attended the case of Anna and found no physical causes
for her problems.
Meanwhile, three things happened in her life, such as fairy-tale fantasies, dramatic mood
swings, and attempts of suicide. Breuer diagnosed that she was suffering from hysteria in
which physical symptoms had not appeared. During the spontaneous hypnosis state, Breuer
found that she could speak out about her experience and fantasies. She had a better feeling
after vent out of her experiences. She recalled some emotional event, which connected with a
particular symptom in her. She refused to drink water for a period. She recalled an event in
her life. She had seen a woman drink from a glass that a dog had just drunk from. She
showed very strong feelings of disgust against water. The symptom of disgust against water
had disappeared from her after remembering the root event that spoke out from her mind.
Breuer named it as catharsis.
Breuer and Freud wrote a book on Hysteria based on their case studies like Anna. According
to them, hysteria was the result of some traumatic experience. The emotions related to the
trauma were not expressed directly, but such emotions were not evaporated in life. These
emotions expressed themselves as behaviours weakly and vaguely. When the person had
allowed releasing these emotions, symptoms ceased in the patients. By adopting this method,
they removed every symptom of their patient, Anna.
Anna had shown a new symptom that she needed Breuer. Even in the hypnotic state also, she
felt the presence of his hands. Later Breuer recognized that she fell in love with him. She
started to tell everyone that she was pregnant with Breuer's child. Anna's mind told her body
that it was true and she developed a hysterical pregnancy. Breuer, an orthodox married
Victorian, lost all his interest in the study of hysteria and immediately abandoned his client,
Anna. Later Sigmund Freud found that secret sexual desires lay at the bottom of all these
hysterical neuroses. Freud continued his work where his mentor, Breuer left. He recovered
Anna from her all problems after spending time in a sanatorium. She became a respected
social worker in Germany. Anna still remembers the cause of developing the psychoanalytic
theory.
According to Freud, the conscious mind is aware of the present perceptions, memories,
thoughts, and feelings. It exists as the tip of the iceberg. Under this conscious mind, a
preconscious mind carries the available memory. From this preconscious mind, a person can
retrieve memories into the conscious mind. There is no dispute about the two layers of the
mind. Freud's perception suggested that these two layers are only the smallest parts of the
mind. The larger part is the unconscious of the mind. All the things, which are not easily
available at a conscious level, such as our drives or instincts, memories, and emotions
associated with trauma. Like an iceberg, the unconscious mind plays an important part of the
personality. It plays as the repository of primitive wishes and impulses. These are mediated
by the preconscious mind. Freud's psychoanalytic theory emphasizes the importance of the
unconscious mind and it governs the behaviour to the greatest degree in persons.

According to Freud, three important conceptualized parts of the human personality are the id,
ego, and superego. Based on the pleasure principle, id operates at the unconscious level. The
id consists of two kinds of biological instincts: Eros and Thanatos. The life instinct, Eros
helps the person to survive in the world and directs life-sustaining activities such as
respiration, eating, and sex in individuals. Life instincts create energy, which is known as
libido. Death instincts, Thanatos are a set of destructive forces visible in all human beings.
Sometimes, this energy is directed towards others in the form of aggression or violence.
Freud strongly believed that Eros is stronger than Thanatos. It always helps people to survive.
During infancy, the ego develops from the id in individuals. The purpose of the ego is to
satisfy the demands of the id in a very safe and socially acceptable way. The ego operates
both in conscious and unconscious mind; ego follows the reality principle in contrast to the
id. During childhood, the superego develops in individuals. Every child follows the same-sex
parent and tries to identify with them. The superego is responsible for ensuring moral
standards in individuals. It operates on moral principles and motivates them to behave in
socially acceptable ways. The fundamental dilemma of all human beings is that every part of
the psychic apparatus makes demands, which are incompatible with the other two. Therefore,
every person is under the inner conflict. Freud compares the relationship between the
structure of personality and the levels of consciousness to an iceberg floating on water. The
unconscious mind controls the conscious mind of the person.
The primitive instincts of the id very rarely give direct expression to the outside world. The
ego always regulates and transforms the primitive instincts following the external world and
superego. The ego aims to synchronize the demands of the three tyrannical masters: id,
superego, and the external world. Therefore, the ego becomes the battleground between the
conscious and unconscious minds. Even the ego is an integral part of the id but it functions
with modification to accommodate the needs of the external world. The inability of the ego to
satisfy the demands of the id indicates the weakness of the ego and leads into the split of
mind. Suppose the ego is to satisfy the demands of the id, it shows the strength of the ego.
For satisfying the id, the primitive instincts give indirect expression through various dynamic
processes. There are many defence mechanisms such as fantasy, identification, sublimation
and displacement, and dreams. Defence mechanisms are unconscious activities of the mind.
The person does not know it directly. They are different in different persons. This process is a
normal one. When it goes beyond the limit, then it leads to abnormality. The primary
intension of all these processes is to meet the demands of the id without any conflict with the
outside world. Some of the processes are denial, fantasy, compensation, projection,
displacement, sublimation, reaction formation, regression, and repression.
Dreams are the dynamic process through which the ego maintains its strength. Therefore, the
interpretation of dreams plays a significant role in the psychoanalysis method. Dream
analysis plays a crucial role in psychoanalytic theory as the mode of revealing the
unconscious. In psychosis, the mental symptoms like hallucination and delusion are the
repressed experiences and unconscious conflicts that uncover the expression through actions.
Dreams fulfil the expressions of repressed experiences. The dream is the desire to fulfilling
the activity that is an impossible indirect way. It is one of the ways of providing an outlet for

the repressed feelings and thoughts in the unconscious mind. The contents of the dreams are
not the direct expressions of the repressed contents. The ego censors the repressed contents in
the dream. To understand the unconscious mind, it is necessary to interpret the dream. Freud
calls the contents of the dream as observed in the process of dreaming as manifest dreams.
They express the conflicts and repressed feelings and thoughts, which found in latent-dream.
The task of transforming the manifest dream into a latent dream is known as dream
interpretation. Therefore, in the psychoanalysis method, dreams are the royal roads to the
unconscious mind. It is usually interpreted as the ego's attempt to satisfy the essential needs
of the id without the superego and external world.
Id supplies psychic energy to the child through three stages of development for becoming the
adult. They are infantile sexuality, latent period, and genital stage. The psychic energy is
sexual, which is specifically called libido. It manifests through biological, social, and
psychological forms during the stages of development. At the time of development processes,
the sexual instinct undergoes a more or less serious failure that is to pass through certain
stages of development called the fixation of the instinct. These fixations will have serious
consequences in later life as it determines certain characteristics of the person.
Freud suggested the counterbalancing and interaction between life instinct and the death
instinct. He believed that both these instincts had a common source. He called the death
instinct as ego instinct and explained that it comes from the stimulating of inanimate matter.
Its aim is to the reinstatement of lifelessness. He also stated that at the time of birth, there is
instinct to return to the intra-uterine life and instinct to sleep. He called it the fantasy of
returning into the mother's womb. Thus, Freud's psychoanalytic theory has given significance
to the death instinct.
The birth is the primary realization of the death instinct. Death is the ultimate realization of
the life instinct that is governed by the pleasure principle. Life strives for the dialectical
synthesis of birth and death. Life is a process of dialectical evolution aimed at the realization
of an ultimate death instinct. All principles become unimportant one who achieves this
ultimate destination.
Conclusion
To conclude, the psychoanalytic theory faces some criticisms mainly from two quarters. The
first criticism comes from the realm of psychoanalysis. It aims against the theory of sexuality.
The second one comes from outside the realm of psychoanalysis. It mainly intends to
question the scientific status of the psychoanalytic theory and psychoanalysis method. Adler
and Jung both of them are the close disciples of the Sigmund Freud departed from the
mainstream of the psychoanalysis method and expressed their dissent against Freud's libido
theory. These two disciples of the Freud departed from his orientation, moved their way, and
established their independent schools of psychology.

Article
  • May 2023
There has been a recent phenomenon in congregational life where congregations have systematically started to leave their original church and switch to certain churches for various reasons such as the desire to have a preacher convey his motivation, enthusiasm and enthusiasm to live a happy life. Such churches and preachers have emerged in the Central Kalimantan region. This research system uses qualitative research through data analysis of interview transcripts, data display and verification. The results of this study present the theological reflections of Christian congregations from various circles, State Civil Apparatus, housewives, congregational youth, including entrepreneurs/self-employed. Additionally, persistently materialistic contrasts with the path of commercialization and desecularization of religion, clearly demonstrating the effects of prosperity and achievement on the field of theology. Finally, the research shows that prosperity theologies or prosperity gospel, teach that prosperity and success (being rich, successful, and in perfect health) are external signs from God for his beloved ones. Ada fenomena yang terjadi belakangan dalam kehidupan berjemaat, di mana jemaat secara sistematis mulai meninggalkan gereja asal dan beralih ke gereja-gereja tertentu dengan berbagai alasan seperti keinginan untuk memiliki pengkhotbah dapat menyampaikan motivasi, antusiasme, dan semangatnya untuk hidup dalam kebahagiaan. Gereja dan pengkhotbah seperti itu telah muncul di wilayah Kalimantan Tengah.

Hasil penelitian ini menyajikan refleksi teologis jemaat Kristen di Resort Gereja Kalimantan Evangelis (GKE) Kapuas dari berbagai kalangan, Aparatur Sipil Negara, ibu pekerja rumah tangga, pemuda jemaat, termasuk pengusaha/wiraswasta. Selain itu, materialistis yang persisten kontras dengan jalur komersialisasi dan desekularisasi agama, dengan jelas mendemonstrasikan efek kesejahteraan dan pencapaian semu pada bidang teologi. Kesimpulan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa teologi kemakmuran atau doktrin kemakmuran/prosperity theologies atau prosperity gospel, mengajarkan bahwa kemakmuran dan sukses (kaya, berhasil, dan sehat sempurna) adalah tanda-tanda eksternal dari Allah untuk orang-orang yang dikasihinya.

Introduction:Academic pathological stress currently often occurs in students. Mindfulness-based therapy has proven effective in reducing pathological stress among nursing students. Methods: However, there are several differences in the methods of administering mindfulness therapy, so further research is needed to find out these differences. This research aims to determine the difference in the influence of spiritual mindfulness and caring mindfulness in reducing pathological stress in nursing students. This study employed a pre-posttest quasi-experimental design with a control group. The sample was taken using a purposive sampling technique with the inclusion criteria of final-level Nursing undergraduate students who experienced academic pathological stress and were willing respondents (n=36). The sample was then randomly divided into 2 groups, namely spiritual mindfulness (n =18) and mindfulness caring (n=18). Data on pathological stress were collected using the questions in the DASS-42 questionnaire, which are 14 questions about pathological stress. Data analysis used paired t-tests and unpaired t-tests. Results:This research found that both interventions can reduce pathological stress in nursing students. However, there was a difference between spiritual mindfulness intervention (Mean ± SD = 11.39 ± 5.81) and mindfulness caring (Mean ± SD = 16.39 ± 3.55) with a mean difference of 6.38 and a p-value <0.001. Conclusion:In conclusion, although the two interventions provided effective results in reducing academic pathological stress in respondents, it was found that spiritual mindfulness was more able to reduce aggressive stress responses in nursing students. Further research is recommended to reevaluate the sample group, incorporating individuals with diverse mental health issues for re-testing

This research aims to analyze the connection between childhood trauma and the behavior of one of the characters, Janie, in The Perfect Child novel by Lucinda Berry. This study employed a qualitative method and used Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis theory to obtain a deeper understanding, particularly the defense mechanisms and the tripartite model (id, ego, and superego). The study finds that there is an imbalance in Janie's personality structure that was caused by her childhood trauma, in particular, abuse and neglect that have been done by her birth mother, Becky. Thus, Janie's trauma triggered her psychological behavior, which tends to refer to signs of a child at risk of psychopathy, such as; aggression towards animals or pets, cheating on friends or enemies, or individuals who are neutral and bullying other children. Subsequently, due to Janie's trauma of her birth mother, she defends herself around women. Especially those who resemble mother figures.

Development of Writing Assessment Skills with Psychosocial Involvement for Indonesian Language Teachers
Article
  • May 2024
The assessment of writing skills is very important for improving students' academic performance in the Indonesian language. The phenomenological method is used in this research to investigate the psychosocial involvement of Indonesian language teachers in developing writing skills assessments. Primary data sources consist of interviews with informants, results from field observations, and documents related to the research findings, while secondary data sources consist of written materials relevant to the research results. The data in this study were collected through non-participatory passive observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis techniques used are reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. This research involves twenty Indonesian language teachers to uncover how teachers use writing skill assessments. The results of this study indicate that the development of writing assessment skills for Indonesian language teachers involving psychosocial aspects can mean that Indonesian language teachers need to have a strong understanding that incorporates psychosocial elements. The psychosocial teacher offers a narrative framework to motivate religious values and Islamic behavior that helps individuals articulate their experiences. The assessment of writing skills in Indonesian language learning is influenced by personal moral and spiritual involvement, concepts of life principles, experiences, and literature. These psychosocial principles are given by God to the assessment of writing in the Indonesian language and literature, which is a critical component of the writing assessment development process.

A Psychoanalytical Study of the Gothic Marine Locales in Herman Melville's Moby Dick
Article
  • May 2024
This research uncovers the Gothic elements interwoven with the Sublime in the maritime context of Herman Melville's "Moby Dick". Using Freud's psychoanalytical frameworks, the study examines the novel's sublime aspects and the psychological depths they signify. It draws on Lacan's and Burke's theories on the conscious and unconscious mind and the contrast between the beautiful and the sublime. These elements suggest deeper insights into Melville's psyche, with characters like Ishmael reflecting his narrative. The conclusion posits "Moby Dick" as an intricate interlacing of Gothic and sea-faring motifs that penetrate the human psyche, set against the ocean's expanse. The narrative aboard the Pequod encapsulates the collective human psyche, presenting a tableau of collective yearnings, fears, and fixations. The enigmatic Moby Dick stands as a symbol of nature's grandeur and humanity's relentless pursuit of the unfathomable, with otherworldly occurrences enhancing the story's spectral quality. The story's heart lies in the psychological journey, mainly through Ahab's quixotic quest for the whale, a metaphor for the human penchant for chasing the unreachable. The narrative is laden with symbolism, with the whale as the centerpiece of nature's wonder and the human quest for meaning. The plot navigates through moral ambiguities and deceit, providing depth to its characters. Themes of isolation and desolation are woven into the dangerous yet mesmerizing whaling backdrop, rendering a narrative rich in complexity and allure.
