Different psychodynamic theory has different fruits to squeeze and transform. Therapist work backward to figure out the original idea from the transformation. He then talks about how learning to drive is difficult since we have to deal with different context stream. As we master driving we are able to block out any unnecessary context stream to concentrate on real problem. Sane people have defensive mechanism that are conscious.
