− | In general, psychodynamics studies the [[transformation]]s and exchanges of "[[psychic]] [[energy]]" within the personality.[5] A [[focus]] in psychodynamics is the connection between the energetics of emotional states in the [[id]], [[ego]], and [[superego]] as they relate to early childhood developments and processes. At the [[heart]] of psychological processes, according to Freud, is the [[ego]], which he envisions as battling with three forces: the id, the super-ego, and the outside world.[4] Hence, the basic psychodynamic model focuses on the dynamic interactions between the id, ego, and superego.[10] Psychodynamics, subsequently, attempts to explain or interpret behavior or mental states in terms of innate emotional forces or processes.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychodynamics | + | In general, psychodynamics studies the [[transformation]]s and exchanges of "[[psychic]] [[energy]]" within the personality.[5] A [[focus]] in psychodynamics is the connection between the energetics of emotional states in the [[id]], [[ego]], and [[superego]] as they relate to early childhood developments and processes.
