  1. PSYCHODYNAMIC THEORY:Sigmund Freud • Violence: exertion of physical force to injure or destroy. • Always accompanied by emotion of anger or hostility • Which may or may not be consciously perceived. • Can be expressed, suppressed or repressed

  2. Psychodynamic Theory • Anger must reach certain intensity before resulting in violence • The threshold for violence varies from individual to individual based upon biological differences

  3. Psychodynamic Theory • Violence are instincts or drives • Drives: implied a state of readiness for certain types of behavior • Instincts: implies a set of inborn patterns of behavior that is complete and autonomic in response to a given stimulus

  4. Primary Instincts • Violence is a primary drive: • Aggressive drives are based upon • Thanatos: death instinct, • anti-death wish • Libidinal: sexual instinct, • discharging energy

  5. Primary Drives • Two Subtypes of aggression which result from primary drives: • Reactive: reactive and proportional to a frustrating situation. It's release serves to reduce tension and if complete permanently discharges the emotion. This prevents repression. • Explosive rage: unprovoked and not in proportion to any event or stimulus. A dangerous form of primary aggression. Results from a short-circuiting of this process in lower brain centers (psychotic trigger syndrome)

  6. Psychodynamic Theory Both of these types of response release the tension. Blockage Frustration Anger Inflicting pain on others (primary aggression)  Pleasure seeking New effort Repression and /or or delay of defense gratification

  7. Secondary Defensive Aggression • Secondary (defensive) Aggression: Hostile or violent behavior that is entirely distortional or even unrelated to current provocation. "chip on their shoulder", short fuse This aggression taps on a warehouse of previously stored hostility. Senseless killings: no apparent motivation. Theoretically the release of tension should deplete the store, but with secondary aggression the aggressiveness continues to express itself over and over again in a repetitive compulsive fashion even when the consequences are disastrous.

  8. Primary Autonomous Ego traits • Oral • Anal • Oedipal • Latency

  9. Oral Traits/feelings • Traits • Greed, • insatiability • constant demand for attention • toughness • Feelings • Worthlessness • Vulnerability • Feelings of deprivation • Earliest biological and emotional needs are not met lack of gratification and frustrations

  10. Anal Phase • Traits • Defiant behaviors • Lack of self-control • Impulsive • Lives for the moment, oblivious to future consequences of their acts • Feelings • Hostility • Fear of own affectionate wishes • Driving away others

  11. Oedipal Phase • Traits • Sexual impulses: rivals and candidates • Unresolved conflict • Secondary aggression • Feelings • Angry • Dissatisfied • Exaggerated fear of castration anxiety

  12. Latency Phase • Traits • Peer pressure: we-they thinking • Alliance to an aggressive group can create increased aggression • Father figure • Strong-silent type, no father present or weak father result in hostile behavior • Aggressor: father is cruel tormentor • Self-concept as a bad person • Superego “I am bad, ego responds to do bad things • Cruelty: need to subjugate others, to dominate others
