People are forced to suppress their sexual instinct to the subconscious, so that they cannot enter the level of human consciousness, but vent it in the form allowed by society, such as literary and artistic creation. Later, Freud put forward the theory of "death instinct" corresponding to "reproductive instinct".
It is believed that people not only maintain the energy of their own life growth and development (that is, survival instinct, whose core instinct is sexual instinct), but also have the energy of making their own biological body enter an inorganic state, that is, death instinct, which is obviously manifested in war, hatred, killing and self-mutilation.
Extended data
Freud's psychoanalysis initiated the study of subconscious psychology, created new fields of personality psychology, dynamic psychology and abnormal psychology, promoted the development of self-psychology, and influenced many treatment methods in the field of psychotherapy later.
Before psychoanalytic psychology, traditional psychology took consciousness as the research object except behaviorism. Although some scholars have discussed the subconscious in history, the only psychological system that really takes the subconscious as the research object is psychoanalytic psychology. Freud broke the tradition of rationalism, affirmed the role of irrational factors in behavior and created a system of subconscious psychology.
Traditional psychology is often explored from the outside to the inside, while psychoanalytic psychology is studied from the inside out, from deep to shallow. In Freud's view, humanism is an energy system and a dynamic system, which determines people's psychological structure and personality model. In other words, instinct and desire are the driving force and reason for the development and change of human psychology or personality. From this, Freud established dynamic psychology.
