Tenets of Psychoanalysis • Psychic Determinism • Internal Structure • Psychic Conflict • Mental Energy
Consciousness Preconscious Unconscious
Types of Instincts • sexuality and life instincts : • aggression and death instincts:
Internal Structure • Brain v. Mind • Brain – physical organ • Mind – ID, EGO, SE
Psychic Conflict • Superego – • Ego – • ID –
The ID • ID (translated as "the it") • uncivilized, selfish, illogical, impulsive, pleasure-seeking • at birth, the mind consists entirely of ID • works according to the ___________________________
The Ego • the EGO (translated as the "I") • rational, realistic • reality principle=
Compromise Formation • function of the EGO • balance between demands reality, the ID and Superego
The Superego • moral, perfectionistic (unrealistically) • the superego (translated the "over I") • standards about what is right and wrong • irrationally demanding in its strive for moral perfection • superego consists of two parts: • ego ideal and conscience • ego ideal- • conscience-
Conflict • conflict results in anxiety • realistic anxiety • neurotic anxiety • moral anxiety • To cope… we use defense mechanisms
Mental Energy • Psychic energy of mind is called Libido • Energy is finite • Energy must be vented
Mental Energy • Catharsis Hypothesis
Stages of Psychosexual Development • Libido invested in stages • 0ral • Anal • Phallic • Latency • Genital
Freud’s Theory Believed in moderation… Problems Underinvestment Overinvestment Results in FIXATION
Oral (0 to 18 months) • Erogenous zone: mouth, lips, and tongue • Quality of care giving an issue. • IDEAL: moderate care • trust, given and receive, self-reliance • BAD: too little care • BAD: too much care
Oral Phase • unhealthy development: • oral passive personality • oral aggressive
Anal : (18 months to 3 years) • control over anal sphincters • Parents play a key role in toilet training • How this is handled is crucial… • IDEAL: Moderate praise • healthy development: personal autonomy, independence, initiative without guilt
Anal • children want to become independent. • “ME DO” – learns self-control • Learning the meaning of the word “NO” • “Terrible Twos”
Anal Stage • BAD: too high expectations (too harsh) • BAD: no expectations…. (too lenient) • unhealthy development: • anal-retentive
Phallic (ages 3-6) • complicated and controversial stage • adjustments to opposite sex are made • Oedipus and Electra complex • Males and Females resolve this stage differently. • Superego develops by the end of this stage
Oedipus Complex • Inspired by Greek legend • Oedipus = “swollen foot” • King of Thebes (Oedipus) unconsciously kills father and marries mother • Little boys want to kill their fathers and sleep with their mothers • Can’t happen… so little boys identify with father
Electra Complex • “Penis envy” • “The Love Doctor” did not understand women • “What do women want”? • “The Dark Continent”
Bottom line… • Emerging sexual feelings during stage • Emerging conscience • resolution dictates how you handle sexuality as an adult • Sexual uptight (rigid, guilt-prone, condemning) • Sexually “loose” (phallic personality)
Latency (ages 6-12) • Cooling off period • no localization of libidinal energy • sexual interests replaced by social ones • Sexual drive is “sublimated” to school, hobbies, friends and sports • Weakness of theory • Attraction can occur as early as the 4th grade before sexual maturity
Genital (ages 12+) • marked by the development of emotional ties with member of the opposite sex • Focus outward, instead of inward • Learn to love and work = mental health
Psychoanalytic • Defense Mechanisms
Different Categories • George Valliant • Mature - sublimation • Neurotic – sexualization • Immature - regression • Narcissistic – distortion • See Kaplan and Sadock
How does this work in therapy? • Two goals… • 1) Gain insight (intellectual awareness) • 2) Change behavior (move aware from repetitive compulsions)
