Abstract

This paper has examined psychoanalytic theory, providing a systematic explanation of the concepts of consciousness, preconsciousness, and the unconscious. Following this foundation, the discussion explored the definition of free association and how it can be used to investigate unconscious clues. Finally, the paper presented the author's recommendations on methods for guiding free association. It is hoped that this work will contribute to further innovation in both the theory and practice of free association within this field and offer valuable insights for related researchers.
