Psychological thermodynamicsThis is a featured page

In human thermodynamics, psychological thermodynamics is the use of thermodynamics principles and laws in the study of psychology.

The early development of this field often went by the more dominant name “psychodynamics”, “energy psychology", or Freud’s “dynamic view of psychology”; Austrian psychologist Sigmund Freud, of course, being a product of the Helmholtz school of thermodynamics. [1]
