ABSTRACT:

Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) was a prominent thinker and founder of psychoanalysis.  Psychoanalysis is considered as the first force of psychology in contribution point of view. Energy is a basic source of all activity either it may be physical or psychological. Freud draw a basic assumption from law of energy conservation. This principle tells us that energy cannot be created or destroyed. Man is a complex energy system. How our personality regulates this psyche energy that became key aspect of emotional disturbance or personality development. Ego is main executive part of personality. William James said that Ego is like hub or crux of personality. Normal or abnormal behavior depends on the nature of Ego’s functionality. This is always try to make balance between personal impulses and external reality. Freud proposed that personality is the product of conflict between personal impulses and external reality of the social world. But in realty this is not always happens. Sometimes Ego failed to maintain balance between ID and SUPER-EGO demands. Despite it Ego try to make a balance by using defense mechanisms.

 Psychopathology occurred due to excessive used of Repression that is a primary defense mechanisms. The basic assumption is that why people not forget repressed thoughts. Because that thought is emotionally charged. If some emotionally charge thought repressed due to any reason. This repressed thoughts became a cause of fixation. Here developmental energy is arrested at that particular developmental stage that is called fixation.  The basic aim of psychoanalytic therapy is to make unconscious thoughts into conscious mind. To achieve this goal Freud suggested different therapeutic techniques such as Free Association, Dream analysis, Resistance, psychodrama and Transference.
