Define moral behavior through the internalization of cultural norms via parental identification.

Sigmund Freud

Recognized as the father of psychoanalysis, introducing the psychoanalytic theory.
Proposes criminality arises from an imbalance among ID, EGO, and SUPEREGO.
- ID: Instinctual drives; operates on the pleasure principle; resides in the unconscious.
- EGO: Rational gateway to action; follows the reality principle; conscious awareness.
- SUPEREGO: Represents morality and conscience.
Divided consciousness into three awareness levels:
- Conscious: Known mental processes and sensations.
- Preconscious: Accessible memories hindering immediate awareness.
- Unconscious: Hidden traumatic events subject to repression.

Freud’s Psychosexual Development Stages

Oral Stage (Birth to 18 months): Focuses on oral stimulation; trust and comfort are developed. Potential fixation leads to issues like binge eating or smoking.
Anal Stage (18 months to 3 years): Awareness of bowel control with two outcomes:
- Anal Retentive: Perfectionism and obsession with order.
- Anal Expulsive: Disorganization and chaos.
Phallic Stage (3 to 6 years): Sexual identity formation; introduces Oedipus and Electra complexes.
Latency Stage (5/6 years to puberty): Emphasis shifts to peer relationships; foundational social skills developed.

Erikson’s Theory of Psychosocial Development

Focuses on the impact of social experiences throughout the human lifespan.
Development of ego identity involves continuous adaptation through social interactions.

Erikson's Psychosocial Stages

Trust vs. Mistrust (Infancy): Infants depend on caregivers; develops hope.
Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (Early Childhood): Children exert control over skills; fosters will.
Initiative vs. Guilt (Play Age): Children take initiative in social interactions; concept of purpose emerges.
Industry vs. Inferiority (School Age): Self-comparison with peers; develops worth.
Identity vs. Role Confusion (Adolescence): Exploration of self and identity forms; experiences identity crises.

Identity Crisis Forms

Severe Identity Crisis: Overwhelming identity confusion, causing significant anxiety.
Prolonged Identity Crisis: Ongoing reassessment of childhood identity leads to confusion about future paths.
