Study Notes

Freud's Theory of Psycho-Sexual Development

  • Freud posited that the progression of sexual development is rooted in sexual instinct, or libido.
  • Libido is among one of the numerous life instincts and continues throughout life.

Structures of the Human Mind

  • Freud theorized the human mind is composed of the id, the ego, and the superego as key layers.
  • These layers exist in conjunction yet operate on distinct planes.
  • The id embodies pleasure-driven desires and basic energy, denoting a basic and primitive self, with sexuality and hunger fueling its needs.
  • The ego mediates between the id's desires and reality using defense mechanisms.
  • The ego is the balancing agent between the id and superego, providing personal security and managing the id's demands.
  • Memory is linked to the ego, impacting reality testing, defense, information synthesis, and later-life intelligence.
  • The superego is an internalized representation of societal norms and parental figures that opposes the id's impulses and perpetuates taboos.

Freud's Stages of Psycho-Sexual Development

  • Freud suggests personality foundations are laid in early life, making alterations challenging later.
  • Parents are recommended to guide kids behavior to successfully master each of the developmental stages.
  • Freud broke down psycho-sexual progression into five stages, each spanning certain ageframes.
  • Orderly and cannot be separated, the stages are closely tied to the id's quest for gratification and build upon preceding stages.
  • The stages are oral (0-1.5 years), anal (1.5-3 years), phallic (3-6 years), latent (6-11 years), and genital (12-18 years).

Stage 1: Oral Stage (0-1.5 years)

  • Key developments like eating, speaking, and toilet training take place during the oral stage.
  • The child connects with the world through the mouth.
  • A satisfied baby cultivates trust in their external environment.
  • Infants with trusting relationships form similar connections later in life.
  • The baby's libido is satisfied through oral activities.
  • The mouth, encompassing lips, tongue, teeth, and jaw, serves as the main source of satisfaction and is a focal point of arousal.
  • Babies first experience sexual stimulation while being bathed and during diaper changes.
  • Enjoyable sensations come from the movement of a diaper rubbing against baby's genitals.
  • As they get older, babies may touch their genitals to replicate pleasurable feelings.
  • Baby boys demonstrate attraction to their penises, but girls encounter more difficulty touching their genitals due to their structure.
  • Touching is less prevalent in baby girls as their genitals are more hidden than baby boys genitals.
  • Parents may worry about their children's sexual curiousity, which is actually normal and healthy.
  • Babies who fail to feel satisfied during the oral phase may experience trust issues.

Stage 2: Anal Stage (1.5-3 years)

  • The focus of libido satisfaction moves from oral to bowel activities.
  • Voluntary sphincter control entails a quick change between a passive and active state.
  • Bowel movements become the emphasis of pleasure and arousal.
  • The anal stage involves an independent period and battling for control with parents.
  • The ability to orchestrate deliberate movements is what characterizes the stage.
  • Taking satisfaction from gaining control is seen by the child.

Stage 3: Consequences of Shaming at the Anus (1.5-3 years)

  • Delight is caused by the release and retention of amassed feces.
  • Exercising bodily control is something most children relish.
  • Kids who hold in their feces or release it wherever they want, attract mother's attention, which brings praise.
  • Judgement is passed by society over feces, which is considered good, bad, right, wrong, or shameful
  • Getting angry at children while toilet training doesn't stop them from wanting a bowel movement
  • Children will again, but in a guilty approach
  • Prevention comes through not being ashamed of sexuality later in life.

Stage 4: Resolution and Problems (1.5 - 3 years)

  • Autonomy, independence, and personal entrepreneurship come from doing that in life.
  • According to Freud, a mother's controlling approach to toilet training can result in lack of care and organization later.

Stage 5: Phallic (Odipal) Stage (3-6 years)

  • A child begins to recognize their bodies along with the broader world.
  • Between the ages of three and six, children start to understand the idea of gender
  • There is a desire to touch and engage sexuality.
  • Kids become curious.
  • There is internalized shame.

Stage 6: Talking About Sex

  • Start talking about sex so it passes as normal
  • Important to focus on is speaking correctly about sex and reproductive organs.

Development At This Stage

  • Children may have thoughts that they see everything
  • To the phallic stage, when there's a feeling of guilt and it starts with sexual dysfunction from the childhood.
  • The phallic seeks to have a relationship with their mom or dad

Boys And Girls

  • Sexual affinity occurs at this stage.
  • Boys have Oedipus complex, girls electra

Oedipus And Electra Complex (3-6 years)

  • Win daddy's or mommy's love
  • Complications need to be resolved now, or it might affect future development
  • It can result in unconsciously involving urges.
  • Feeling distress is something that electra experiences too

Five Electra Conditions

  • Child must be the focus and attention of caring.
  • There must be a sense of love.
  • Must have interaction with non-dangerous individuals.
  • Must be allowed to detach.
  • Need supportive individuals who will provide support

Activation Situations for Complex's

  • Marriage, pregnancy can activate the Oedipus complex

Effects Of Not Resolving Complex's

  • Erectile, anger issues, aversion and anxieties sexually
  • Frigidity can occur in women

Stage 7: Latent (Implicit) Period

  • Oedipus complex dissipates in the next stage.
  • Desires remain
  • First crushes start

Genital Stage (12-18)

  • As puberty hits, the desires become greater as hormones rise
  • Changes occur as well

Puberty

Middle Adolescence
