  4. Psychoanalytic model of personality • Adult personality & social relations understood by knowing how sexual and aggressive urges were managed during childhood. • Sexual = life instincts (eros) • Aggressive = death instincts (thanatos)

  5. Freud’s Personality Theory • Conflict b/t what is socially acceptable & urges (pleasure)= • Three part personality • Id (animalistic, selfish drives) • Superego (overly cautious, ideals) • Ego (balance)

  6. Freud’s Theory Cont… • Theory focuses on sexual drives • Body parts sensitive to sexual stimulation = Erogenous Zones • Libido – sexual/psychic energy focused on primary e.z. of particular age • Too much frustration or overindulgence = energy locked in stage: FIXATION

  7. Stage 1 – The Oral Stage • Age: Birth to 18m • Erogenous Zone: Mouth • Focus Activities/Behaviors: Nursing, Eating, Sucking, Gumming, Biting • Conflict: Weaning. Deprives child of sensory & psych pleasure of nurture, care, love. • Later Symptoms: Smoking, drinking, constant chewing (gum, pencils) nail biting, overeating, biting sarcasm, overly talkative

  8. Stage 2 – The Anal Stage • Age: 18 to 36 m • Erogenous Zone: Anus • Focus Activities/Behaviors: Retention or expulsion of feces • Conflict: Potty training. One part pleasure from going, one part trying to control function. • Later Symptoms: Anal Expulsive – messy, disorganized, careless, defiant Anal Retentive – neat, precise, orderly, passive-aggressive

  9. Stage 3 – The Phallic Stage (Boys) • Age: 3-6 • Erogenous Zone: Genitals • Focus Activities/Behaviors: Fondling, • Conflict: • Oedipus Complex – sexual attraction for mom, aggression and jealously @ dad • Castration Anxiety – fear of losing penis (notice girls don’t have) • Identification – can’t have mom so will become most like man who can • Later Symptoms: Anxiety/guilt about sexual feelings … Share dad’s values, morals, principles

  10. Stage 3 – The Phallic Stage (Girls) • Age: 3-6 • Erogenous Zone: Genitals • Focus Activities/Behaviors: Fondling • Conflict: • Electra Complex – sexual attraction for dad, envy mom • Penis Envy – notice boys have one, girls want one • Identification – can’t have dad so will become most like woman who can • Later Symptoms: Anxiety/guilt about sexual feelings … Adopt mom’s values, morals, principles…marry man like father

  11. Stage 4 – The Latency Period • Age: 6 to Puberty (11/13) • Erogenous Zone: None • Focus Activities/Behaviors: Sexual Repression. Libido turned to learning (gender roles, beliefs system, same sex friendships) • Conflict: None • Later Symptoms: None * Puberty leads to sexual reawakening!

  12. Stage 5 – The Genital Period • Age: Puberty on • Erogenous Zone: Genitals • Focus Activities/Behaviors: Heterosexual Relationships, Intimacy • Conflict: What energy is left over vs what’s locked in other stages • Later Symptoms: No fixations…just deal with earlier resolutions

  13. Evaluation • Personality formed in childhood? • Observable? • Reliable? • Sexual desires as primary motivation? • Condescending notions of women (as incomplete men!)? • Cause of mental issues?
