    Study Notes

    Id, Ego, and Superego

    • The Id is the reservoir for instincts and libido, operating on the pleasure principle to increase pleasure and avoid pain.
    • It strives for immediate satisfaction of its needs without considering others' wants.
    • The Id is selfish, pleasure-seeking, and primitive, knowing only instant gratification.
    • It is present from birth.

    Superego

    • The Superego is acquired in childhood, representing internal morality or conscience.
    • It develops around 3 years old, internalizing parental teachings and self-administering rewards and punishments.
    • The Superego strives solely based on moral principles, not pleasure or realistic goals.

    Ego

    • The Ego is the rational master of the personality, helping the Id obtain realistic satisfaction.
    • It determines appropriate and socially acceptable times, places, and objects to satisfy Id impulses.
    • The Ego operates on the reality principle, perceiving and manipulating the environment in a practical and realistic manner.
    • It tries to control anxiety through ego defense mechanisms.

    Stages of Development

    Oral Stage

    • Time period: Birth to 18 months
    • Erogenous zone: mouth
    • Gratification through sucking and swallowing
    • Oral fixation can lead to overeating, smoking, and drinking in adulthood

    Anal Stage

    • Time period: 1 1/2 to 3 years of age
    • Erogenous zone: anus
    • Children experience control and discipline from parents, leading to toilet training
    • Anal fixation can lead to excessive tidiness, perfectionism, and stubbornness, or a lack of self-control, carelessness, and messy behavior

    Phallic Stage

    • Time period: 3 to 6 years
    • Erogenous zone: genitals
    • Boys experience Oedipus complex, directing sexual impulses towards their mother
    • Castration anxiety: a male's fear of losing his genitals, related to the Oedipus complex
    • In normal development, the child reduces this anxiety and identifies with his father

    Latency Period

    • During this period, children try to socialize only with members of their own gender
    • This helps minimize awareness of "sexuality" and continues the process of sexual repression
