Study Notes
Sigmund Freud and Psychoanalytic Theory
- Sigmund Freud was born on May 6, 1856, in Freiberg, Moravia, Austrian Empire, and died on September 23, 1939, in London, England.
- Freud is known as the father of psychoanalysis, a method for treating mental illness and a theory explaining human behavior.
- He developed therapeutic techniques such as free association and discovered transference, establishing its central role in the analytic process.
Sigmund Freud's Theories and Contributions
- Psychoanalytic Theory: Freud developed psychoanalysis, a therapeutic technique for treating mental health disorders by exploring unconscious thoughts and feelings.
- Unconscious Mind: Freud proposed a topographical model of the mind, describing the features of the mind's structure and function, using the analogy of an iceberg to describe the three levels of the mind.
- Personality: Freud proposed a tripartite model of the human mind, composed of the id, ego, and superego.
- Psychosexual Development: Freud's theory of psychosexual development suggests that early childhood experiences and stages (oral, anal, phallic, latency, and genital) shape our adult personality and behavior.
- Defense Mechanisms: Freud proposed several defense mechanisms, like repression and projection, which the ego employs to handle the tension and conflicts among the id, superego, and the demands of reality.
Psychoanalytic Theory of Personality
- The psychoanalytic theory of personality argues that human behavior is the result of the interactions among the three components of the mind: the id, ego, and superego.
- The theory places great emphasis on the role of unconscious psychological conflicts in shaping behavior and personality.
The Psychoanalytic Perspectives
- The unconscious mind is defined as a reservoir of feelings, thoughts, urges, and memories that are outside of conscious awareness.
Personality Structure
- ID: The unconscious part of the personality structure that contains a human's basic, instinctual drives.
- EGO: The conscious component of personality that is responsible for dealing with reality, operating on the reality principle, which strives to satisfy the id's desires in realistic, logically, and socially appropriate ways.
- SUPEREGO: Provides guidelines for making judgments, enabling us to differentiate between good and bad, and what is wrong, representing the norms and qualities of the individual, family, and society, and acting as an ethical constraint on behavior.
Stages of Psychosexual Development
- Freud's stages of human development consist of five psychosexual stages of development: oral, anal, phallic, latency, and genital.
- These stages lead to the development of the adult personality.
Defense Mechanisms
- Defense mechanisms are unconscious protective behaviors that work to reduce anxiety, produced by conflicts between the drives from the id and the constraints of reality or the superego.
- Examples of defense mechanisms include repression, projection, and sublimation.
