The Main Contributions of Psychoanalysis to Early Childhood Education : Our Knowledge Publishing : 9786206561330 : 620656133X : 15 Oct 2023 : In this work, we have developed the understanding that psychoanalysis can contribute to the educational environment, because we understand that it is through the study of the functioning of the persona and its mental processes that learning will truly take place. According to Freud, human beings live in a constant struggle between their internal forces, governed by the pleasure principle (id) and the external forces of value judgement (superego) under these desires. The school environment can provide children with the development of balance. It helps with the various types of thinking (practical, cognitive and critical), as well as enabling children to develop their emotions in a balanced way.
