    Study Notes

    Psychodynamic Approach: Forces Beneath Personality

    • Psychodynamic approach focuses on the forces beneath personality, often stemming from childhood.
    • Key concepts include the topographical and structural models.

    Topographical Model

    • Describes levels of the mind:
      • Conscious mind: Current awareness
      • Preconscious mind: Easily accessible memories and feelings
      • Unconscious mind: Hidden memories, feelings, and desires that influence behavior.

    Structural Model

    • Describes the structure of personality:
      • Id: Primitive, instinctual drives (pleasure principle)
      • Ego: Mediates between id and reality (reality principle)
      • Superego: Internalized societal rules and moral standards (morality principle)

    Stages of Psychosexual Development

    • Freud proposed stages of psychosexual development impacting personality.
      • Oral stage (birth to 18 months): Focus on the mouth, satisfaction through sucking and swallowing. Fixation can lead to overeating, smoking, drinking
      • Anal stage (1 1/2 to 3 years): Focus on the anus, control and discipline. Fixation can lead to obsessiveness around neatness and order or messiness and disorganization.
      • Phallic stage (3 to 6 years): Focus on the genitals, Oedipus complex and castration anxiety. Development of the superego. Successful resolution leads to success on society.
      • Latency period (6 to puberty): Focus on social interactions with same gender. Repressing sexuality.
      • Genital stage (puberty onward): Focus on genitals and sexual urges; establishing intimacy. Development of a mature ego, the id and superego in balance.

    How We Access the Unconscious: Therapy

    • Therapy explores unconscious conflicts to resolve problems.
      • Dreams: Manifest (disguised) and latent (true) content reveal unconscious desires.
      • Freudian slips (unintentional errors) and free association reveal hidden motivations.

    Freud: A Critique

    • Theory is criticized for being male-oriented, overlooking women's experiences
    • Reliance on specific cases (potential bias & misrepresentation)
    • Therapy duration is considered lengthy
    • Therapy forces the person to accept the therapists' reality

    Neo-Freudians

    • Diverse theorists who built on Freud's ideas but emphasized different factors.
      • Carl Jung: Analytical Psychology: Expanded unconscious to include collective unconscious and archetypes (e.g., persona, anima/animus, shadow).
      • Alfred Adler: Individual Psychology: Emphasized social forces, conscious experience, and striving for superiority
      • Karen Horney: Psychoanalytic Social Theory (Feminist Psychoanalysis): Focused on social and cultural factors, especially women's experiences, and developed neurotic needs

    Advantages and Limits of the Neo-Analytics

    • Advantages: Highlight importance of positive and goal-oriented nature of humanity, acknowledge impact of society/culture.
    • Limits: Difficult to test empirically, sometimes mix of ideas from various traditions, sometimes relies on vague concepts
