Psychology
Greek term or phrase: Ψυχισμός
Κατά τον Freud η προσωπικότητα έχει μια ψυχο-βιολογική πλευρά, περιλαμβάνοντας το μοντέλο της φυσιολογίας και την έννοια των ενορμήσεών της. O Freud συγκρίνει το σχήμα του αντανακλαστικού τόξου της νευρολογίας με τον ψυχισμό του ατόμου.

From the Interpretation of Dreams:

This, however, does no more than fulfil a requirement with which we have long been familiar, namely that the psychical apparatus must be constructed like a reflex apparatus. Reflex processes remain the model of every psychical function.


Here are some of the approximately 175 passages which combine the “reflex arc” with “psychic apparatus” or “psychical apparatus”:

The metaphor extends Freud’s analogy of the psychical apparatus to a reflex arc.

In the various models of the mind he formulated Freud consistently held to the idea that perceptions entered the psychic apparatus through a single portal, a notion which possibly had its origins in Freud's early concept of neurosis arising from an interference in a reflex arc between stimulation and discharge

Since all mental activity is supposed to be based upon the model of the reflex arc, the psychic apparatus is described as being provided with a sensory or perceptual end and a motor end.

Discusses 4 distinct Freudian models of the psychic apparatus (or Freudian allusions to them): the entropic, the reflex arc, the genetic or Darwinian, and the neural integration hierarchies of Hughlings Jackson.

In his discussion of dream interpretation Freud was impressed by the value of reflex apparatus as a model for the psychic apparatus involved in dreaming and evolved his theory of primary and secondary systems in the light of this model.
