It's a concern for Freud here - Pat is not in speech therapy (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

psyche

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a concern for freud here pat is not in speech therapy' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.

'it's' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'it' could be 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT') and 'e' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'psych' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for psyche that I've seen before include "Soul, spirit; lover of Cupid" , "The beloved of Eros" , "Eros's lover" , "Subject of 11 [ODE]" , "Analyse" .)
