#redirect ==Topographical Model==According to the [[Freud]]'s first "[[topographical model]]", the [[mind]] or [[psyche]]is divided into three three separate component parts, systems or "psychical localities": * the [[conscious]] ('''[[conscious|Cs]]'''),* the [[preconscious]] ('''[[preconscious|Pcs]]''') and* the [[unconscious]] ('''[[unconscious|Ucs]]''') ===Material===Material in the [[unconscious]] could never become [[conscious]], but material in the [[preconscious]] could occasionally become [[conscious]]. The [[unconscious]], Freud saw as containing material which had been [[repressed]] for some reason: because it was too [[traumatic]] or [[pain]]ful to reach [[consciousness]]. This material might consist of memories, fantasies, wishes, dreams, etc. ==Structural Model==The three structures of the [[id]], [[ego]], and [[superego]] Freud saw as mapping onto this model. The [[ego]] he argued was not always [[conscious]], or even [[preconscious]]. The [[superego]], he argued, spanned the [[unconscious]] and the [[preconscious]], while the [[id]] was completely [[unconscious]].
