Understanding Conflict and Repression in Psychoanalysis: Ego, Defense Mechanisms, and Development

This overview delves into key concepts of psychoanalysis, focusing on conflict, repression, and unconscious motivation. The ego's struggle to manage internal conflicts and associated anxieties primarily occurs through repression, leading to fixation and symbolic behaviors. We explore the psychosexual stages of development, including oral, anal, phallic (featuring the Oedipus complex), latency, and genital stages. Additionally, we touch upon Erikson’s psychosocial stages, highlighting how early fixations can lead to adjustment problems and influence personality development over a lifetime.
