THE PSYCHOLOGICAL VIEWS OF THE SELF BY SIGMUND FREUD Ms. Rohaida A. Macaumbang, RPm WHO IS SIGMUND FREUD? FATHER OF PSYCHOANALYSIS SIGISMUND (SIGMUND) FREUD Sigmund Freud and The Discovery of COCAINE Cocaine can heal heart disease, nervous exhaustion, addiction to alcohol and morphine, and serious depression.  PARTS OF PERSONALITY PROVINCES OF THE MIND  THE “ID”  The “it”, not-yet-owned component of personality  No contact with reality  Pleasure principle  “Amoral”, not “Immoral”  “Id” functions through the “Ego”  THE “SUPEREGO”  The “above-I”, moral and ideal aspects  Moralistic and idealistic principles  Grows out of the ego  No contact with reality  THE “EGO”  The “I”, in contact with reality  Reality principle  Decision-making  Uses defense mechanisms  DEFENSE MECHANISMS EGO DEFENSES  REPRESSION Repression is an unconscious defense mechanism employed by the ego to keep disturbing or threatening thoughts from becoming conscious. REACTION FORMATION Reaction formation is a psychological defense mechanism in which a person goes beyond denial and behaves in the opposite way to which he or she thinks or feels.  DISPLACEMENT Displacement is the redirection of an impulse (usually aggression) onto a powerless substitute target. The target can be a person or an object that can serve as a symbolic substitute.  FIXATION When the prospect of taking the next step becomes too anxiety provoking, the ego may resort to the strategy of remaining at the present, more comfortable psychological stage. This is called fixation.  INTROJECTION Introjection is a defense mechanism whereby people incorporate positive qualities of another person into their own ego.  SUBLIMATION Sublimation is similar to displacement, but takes place when we manage to displace our unacceptable emotions into behaviors which are constructive and socially acceptable, rather than destructive activities.  PROJECTION Projection is a psychological defense mechanism proposed by Anna Freud in which an individual attributes unwanted thoughts, feelings and motives onto another person.  REGRESSION Regression is a defense mechanism proposed by Anna Freud whereby the ego reverts to an earlier stage of development usually in response to stressful situations.  IDENTIFICATION WITH THE AGGRESSOR Identification with the Aggressor involves the victim adopting the behavior of a person who is more powerful and hostile towards them.  RATIONALIZATION Rationalization is a defense mechanism involving a cognitive distortion of "the facts" to make an event or an impulse less threatening. We do it often enough on a fairly conscious level when we provide ourselves with excuses. STA Y PRESENTATION ENDS HERE.
