The concept of Preconsciente was used by the founder of psychoanalysis Sigmun Freud, one of the thinkers who pondered in a deeper way on the human psyche. Freud specifies that the mind consists of three interdependent levels among themselves: the preconscious level, unconscious level, and the conscious level. These three concepts of the human mind define the three spheres of the psychic processes.
Preconscious differentiates between the unconscious and the conscious
The preconscious is that part which lies halfway between the unconscious and the conscious part. I.e. it is the sphere of the mind in which accumulates information liable to reach the conscious part or, on the other hand, there are also details of information that may be lost in the plane of the unconscious. This structure of three parts of the human mind was the first theory of the human psyche developed by Freud.
Censored information
In the part of the unconscious is where is stored information that has been suppressed, traumas that are emotional wounds that the subject has censored and has silenced inside. The partly unconscious of the human mind, there are many dormant memories of experiences that have any significant emotional conflict for the subject. Freud is one of the first thinkers who reflects on how, the human being, beyond being able to practice introspection to look inside itself and discover your truth more deep, never may know it absolutely everything of himself and always takes on information that is unknown.
The complexity of the human mind
The conscious part is the most visible part of the human mind, that sphere of reality that contains information that is knowable to the subject. This part of the knowable is opposed to another part of the mind: the unconscious showing the opposition of those elements that are difficult to decipher. The person feels comfortable when he reflects on those aspects of consciousness that can be accessed in an objective manner and that can be shared with others. Apart from the criticism that has been able to receive the theory of psychoanalysis is very important to assess the work of Freud, who was an author who makes visible evidence that the human mind is very complex, and so is the process of self-knowledge as a very positive achievement.
