ABSTRACT

S. Freud thought it important to include an instinct theory in psychoanalysis because he wanted a psychology that systematically contains a relationship to the body. In Freudian terms, conscience is the ego’s relationship to the superego, and a feeling of guilt means fear of punishment. The superego remains as a part of the ego, and a bridge towards nos, because parents teach analysts civilization, the content of society, but its basically dictatorial role is reduced by the genuine social function. As in Freudian psychology analysts say that the superego is partly conscious, and partly unconscious; with the use of nos analysts can find a place for the social conscious and the social unconscious. Studies of monkeys have demonstrated the presence of mirror neurons that discharge in the same mode when relating to another individual, or when other individuals relating are observed. A mass of electronic impulses circulate in a computer, and a mass of neuron impulses circulate in the brain.
