Where does “intrapsychic” come from?

I can't write this etymology summary because the chain provided contains only Latin words (intra/intro repeated) with no connection to English psychic or the headword intrapsychic. There's a fundamental break in the etymological chain that would require inventing missing steps, which violates the rules. To write an accurate sentence, I would need a complete chain showing how Latin intra/intro connects through intermediate languages to English psychic, and then to intrapsychic.
