Abstract
Here we search for analyses of the psyche which could function as a complement to our economic world. The behaviourist and the cognitive approaches offer insights into the automatic and the deliberate parts of human behaviour. The biological and the social-psychological approaches show that the brain, as well as the social context of a person, is an important environmental variable. The psycho-dynamic and the humanist approaches, however, are about the psyche as a system, the elements that constitute the system, and the mechanism(s) which determine the way the psyche functions. Behavioural economics attempts to link psychology and orthodox economics. But this approach fails to offer a proper conceptualization and analysis of the phenomenon of (ir)rationality. The psycho-dynamic and humanist perspective offers the elements necessary to construct our so-called psychic world. Willpower can reduce the conflict between actual self and true self in such a way that the person maximizes his self-respect.
