Study Notes
Sigmund Freud's Psychoanalytic Theory
- Focuses on the unconscious mind and its influence on behavior and personality
- States the unconscious is a repository of drives, urges, and instincts beyond conscious awareness
- Highlights the unconscious as a driving force behind behavior, dreams, slips of the tongue, and forgetting (repression)
- Proposes phylogenetic endowment, a concept of unconscious experiences passed down through generations
- Includes the drive theory focusing on the motivational drivers behind behaviors, originating from the id and controlled by the ego
- Describes sex as a driving force with pleasure associated with the entire body, not just genitals
- Mentions libido as a psychic and pleasurable feeling associated with gratification of the life instincts
- Identifies erogenous zones as the mouth and anus, contributing to sexual pleasure
- Lists four expressions of sex: narcissism, love, sadism, and masochism
- Defines primary narcissism as infant self-centeredness and secondary narcissism as the redirecting of libido to the self during puberty
- Describes love as a redirection of libido to an object or person outside the self, beginning with the primary caregiver
- Defines sadism as pleasure derived from inflicting pain or humiliation, becoming perverted when destructive behavior outweighs sexual pleasure
- Defines masochism as pleasure derived from suffering pain or humiliation, including self-infliction, with Eros subservient to the destructive drive
- Explains aggression as the destructive drive returning the organism to its inorganic state, with death as the final aim
- Identifies anxiety as a product of the ego, with three subtypes: neurotic, moral, and realistic anxiety
- Defines neurotic anxiety as apprehension about unknown dangers stemming from id impulses
- Defines moral anxiety as apprehension resulting from conflicts between the ego and the superego
- Defines realistic anxiety as a nonspecific feeling of danger related to real, objective threats
- Explains defense mechanisms as normal and universal solutions to ego threats, becoming problematic if used excessively
- Lists ten common defense mechanisms: repression, denial, reaction formation, displacement, fixation, regression, projection, introjection, sublimation, and rationalization
- Defines repression as the ego's pushing of threatening impulses to the unconscious
- Discusses the oral stage, focusing on infant satisfaction through oral activity, including thumb sucking as a defense mechanism for oral aggression
- Discusses the anal stage, characterized by satisfaction through aggressive behavior and the excretory function
- Describes the early anal period as a destructive phase with aggressive behavior directed at parents
- Identifies the anal triad as the potential personality development of anal characters: orderliness, stinginess, and obstinacy
- Explores the phallic stage, recognizing a dichotomy between male and female development based on anatomical differences
- Defines the Oedipus complex as a boy's identification with his father and developing a sexual desire for his mother, seeing his father as a rival
- Defines castration complex as a boy's realization of the lack of a penis in girls, linking this to his own inappropriate sexual desires
- Explains how the boy eventually identifies with his father as a model of right and wrong, replacing his desire to be him
- Emphasizes the concept of unconscious motivations influencing behavior throughout the text
