Human life as a complicated process is primarily based on the decisions people make with respect to their feelings and expectations. However, sometimes, it is barely possible to find a reasonable explanation for their actions. To define the possible patterns that contribute to one’s decision-making process, various scholars did their best to apply the practical psychology principles to human subconsciousness.
One of the most widespread theoretical frameworks concerning subconscious psychological processes is Freud’s groundwork claiming a strong correlation between human experiences in early childhood (Allen, 2020). Hence, the notion of psychodynamics Is primarily concerned with the idea of factors that stand behind the people’s urge to make certain decisions that are hidden deeply with the subconsciousness.
The topic of the psychodynamic perspective on social studies has now become extremely relevant in terms of its radical perception of the human thinking process. For example, one of the central ideas of psychodynamic psychology is the notion of psychic causality. It is outlined in the idea that every human thought people regard as accidental or unimportant is caused by a specific psychological experience that happened to the individual (Fulmer, 2018).
Such an assumption makes it interesting to examine the extent to which human experiences may implicitly take control over life-changing decisions. Moreover, the modern study of psychodynamic theory encompasses a meticulous approach to human emotional experiences such as the feeling of anxiety or shame. For example, human emotional response examination through the prism of psychodynamics plays continues to play an important role in creating efficient intervention in the COVID-19 pandemic handling (Marčinko et al., 2020). Hence, having considered the scope of modern psychodynamic research, it may be concluded that the phenomenon itself remains interesting for every person willing to take a closer look at the individual perceptions of emotional experiences.
