ANALYSIS OF FREUD’S DYNAMIC AND INDIVIDUALISTIC CONCEPTION OF THE NEUROSES

Freud’s theory assumes breach in integrity of consciousness due to effort of delimited area to establish itself as a separate self-governing unit--Distinction of Freud’s work lies in conception of central totality of consciousness; limitation of Freud’s work consists in assigning totality of consciousness to single individual--Conception of totality of personality tenable only from point of view of inclusive societal consciousness.
