 Rabbi Schnuer Zalman and Chabad Hassidism
Rabbi Zalman associates the "Animal" soul with the left side of the heart, the emotions with the right side of the heart, and the intellect ­ as with modern materialism and holism ­ with the brain [Tanya p.31]; thus suggesting a somatic psychology.
Indeed, with Zalman we have a profound psychology, but a psychology which was never able to break free of its religious­sectarian milieu.
Zalman's concept of tension and battle between the intellectual "Divine Soul" and the instinctual "Animal Soul", and the need to subjugate the latter to the former, strongly recalls Freud's antagonism of Ego and Id, or Conscious and Unconscious, and the idea of the Ego as making Conscious what was previously Unconscious.
