What IS the Psychoanalytic Theory?
Says we are influenced by forces beneath our conscious: (in our unconscious)
Beneath the surface!
Believed many of peoples’ deepest thoughts, fears and urges remain out of awareness in an unconscious part of the mind.

A. How do you explore the unconscious part of the mind?
Psychoanalysis: People are supposed to talk about anything that they think of so psychologists can analyze the deeper meaning.

2. Dream analysis
Freud believed that people’s unconscious wishes may also appear in their dreams

So
Freud asked people to write their dreams down when they woke up and then he tried to figure out the hidden meaning

3. Hypnosis
Was another method Freud used to try to get to peoples’ unconscious thoughts.
Later abandoned

ID EGO SUPEREGO

A. ID
Basic drives like hunger are part of the ID.
1-present at birth 2-stereotypical 2 year old: “I want
what I want, when I want it” 3-pays no attention to laws,
customs, or the needs of others
B. EGO
1. Develops because a child’s demands for instant gratification cannot be met
We can’t always get what we want

Goal of the EGO
2. Satisfy the desires of the ID in a
Realistic way.
Example: Your ID says you are hungry and your EGO says you should cook a hamburger instead of eating it raw.

The Ego
3. Also provides a sense of self or a sense of what you should do to make yourself happy like study for a test.
4. AND the EGO is a censor that screens out the wild impulses of the ID
C. Superego
1-Develops throughout early childhood
2-Goal: moral principle: standards and values of parents and other members of the community give us our moral sense.
3. The conscience
The superego floods the ego with feelings of guilt or shame when we do something society defines as wrong.
Example:
ID: “You want to go out with your friends! Don’t study!”
SUPEREGO: “You must study all night or you won’t pass the test!”
EGO: Balance! “Study now and after you do well on your test you can spend time with friends”
ID, Ego, and Superego activity
Get into a group of 3 Each group must have a director, a script writer,
and someone to watch the clock Each group member must play the part of the Id,
Ego, or Superego In your group you must think of a situation where
the Ego is caught between the conflicting demands of the Id and the Superego.
Write a script where you act out what the Id, Ego, and Superego would say in the situation to help your classmates understand the different psychological structures according to Freud.
Psychosexual Stages of Development
Freud believed that a person’s personality developed through a series of 5 stages.
Why are the stages important?
ADULT psychological problems might come from unresolved childhood conflicts.
If you don’t resolve conflicts during your early life, you may become stuck in some of the traits of your childhood.
About the Oral Stage
When: First year of life What is it?: Infants explore their
mouths and put things into their mouths to learn about them. Main source of pleasure: food
Children depend on adults to feed them at this stage
What if there are problems in a child’s Oral stage?
According to Freud, If a child’s needs aren’t met during the oral stage they may get stuck in the oral stage later in life.
How? Continue to focus on pleasures of the mouth: Smoke, overeat, talk a lot, nail biting. ALSO might have clinging relationships as an adult.
About the Anal Stage
When: ages of 1 &1/2 – 2 &1/2 What happens?: Children learn they
can control bodily functions (when they poo poo and pee pee)
CONTROL becomes very important
What if there are problems during a child’s Anal stage?
Control issues! People can become: 1. Anal
retentive: they need to control everything. Ex: Perfectionist
Or people become 2. Anal Expulsive: careless and messy
About the phallic stage
When: Age 3 What happens: boys and girls notice
they are different from each other. They may develop STRONG attachments to the parent of the opposite sex.
Electra Complex
When a daughter has a sexual desire for her father.
*Many people don’t think this exists!

What if there are problems during the Phallic Stage?
Freud suggested that problems during this stage can lead to:
Depression Excessive guilt Anxiety
About the Latency Stage
When: Age 5-just before puberty What: Latent = hidden Impulses and emotions remain
hidden or unconscious
About the Genital Stage
When: Puberty What: Kids become aware of their
gender identity. Conflicts of early development stages resurface.
