ABSTRACT

The qualities with which Nature supplies Man, somatic and psychic, and the various effects which he receives from the environment, after a period produce for him the possibility to contribute himself to the course of his life that follows. In any way, Man goes through a developmental process, during which at various stages his own Self more and more takes over his fortune undergoing certain intrapsychic procedures. Most “schools” of psychology today accept, perhaps with different terminology, the existence of a conscious and a non-conscious Self. In the Conscious state Man is in an alert condition, has full knowledge of himself and the environment and can handle outside stimuli, as well as his personal needs. A psychological equilibrium is the target towards which the mental functions of every person continuously aim, a homeostasis, so that they are effective in life. In psychoanalytic terms, the conflicts happen between the Ego, the Id, and the Superego.
