Dynamic because the forces are pited against each other. Freud is saying consciousness has three levels: consciousness. Material just beneath the surface of awareness: unconscious. Diicult to retrieve material; well below the surface of awareness. All conlicts will all lead to how we respond to the environment. Freud"s theory was very controversial as he proposed the following processes: much is due to unconscious processes, sexuality is a primary drive, children have sexual feelings. Conscious: whatever you are aware at any given moment.
