    Psychoanalytic Theory by Sigmund Freud

    Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist best known for developing the theories and
    techniques of psychoanalysis. He was the founding father of psychoanalysis, a method for
    treating mental illness and a theory explaining human behavior. In addition, Freud believed
    that events in our childhood have a great influence on our adult lives, shaping our personality.

    3 levels of consciousness
    1. Conscious- this refers to the current state of awareness
    2. Pre-conscious- refers to all information that are not currently aware but that can be
    recalled.
    3. Unconscious- outside of our awareness at all times

    Structure of personality

    Id (child- like)
    - This is the first to develop
    -it is the biological component of personality.
    - this is the unconscious part of the mind that is based on desire to seek immediate
    satisfaction and seek pleasure.
    -operates according to pleasure principle
    Pleasure Principle- the idea that all the needs should be met immediately.
    Ego (self)
    -This is the second to develop
    -it is part of the mind that is mostly conscious and partly unconscious.
    -opposite of the id, which focuses on morality and justice.
    -it is the judgement portion of personality that is responsible for creating balance between
    pleasure and pain.
    -it also the decision maker as well as the facer of its consequence.
    -operates according to reality principle
    Reality Principle- the idea that the desires of the is must be satisfied in a method that is
    both socially appropriate and realistic
    Superego
    -the last to develop
    -both in the conscious and unconscious
    -always concerned about what is socially acceptable.
    -it is usually develops around the age of four or five that incorporates the morals of society.
    -superego has the ability to distinguish between reality as well as what is right or wrong.
    -Freud believed that people would act out with aggression and other immoral behaviors
    because the mind would have no way of understanding the difference between right and
    wrong.
    -operates according to morality principle
    -there is the existence of Ego ideal which is our view of what is right and conscience which is
    our view of what is considered wrong.
    2 categories of superego
    1. Ideal self- this contains images of how people ought to behave according to societies
    ideals.
    2. Conscious- contains ideals and morals that exist within the society that prevent people
    from acting out based on their internal desires

    Types of anxiety
    -only the ego can feel the anxiety
    Anxiety- an unpleasant state accompanied by physical sensation that warns the person about
    an impending danger
    1. Neurotic Anxiety- refers to the conflict that came from the Id.
    2. Realistic Anxiety- refers to the conflict that came from the ego.
    3. Moral Anxiety- refers to the conflict that came the superego.
    Defense Mechanism
    - this are the strategies used by the ego to protect itself from unpleasant or threatening
    experiences or emotions
    1. Repression- Forcing down emotions, impulses or memories down the unconscious to reduce
    anxiety by effectively “forgetting” them.
    2. Denial- denying unpleasant experiences.
    3. Reaction formation- the reversing of unpleasant experiences.
    4. Sublimation- the healthy form of defense mechanism.
    -this refers to converting the unpleasant emotion or experience into a more socially
    acceptable form.
