  3. Psychodynamic Perspectives • Freud’s psychoanalytic theory • Structure of personality • Id - Pleasure principle (sex and violence) • Superego – Morality, societal rules • Ego - Reality principle • Balances conflict between id and superego • Levels of awareness • Conscious: What one is currently aware of • Unconscious: What one is unaware of and cannot access • Preconscious: What one is unaware of but CAN access

  4. Psychodynamic Perspectives • Freud’s psychoanalytic theory • Conflict between id and superego results in • Anxiety • Overcome by defense mechanisms • Repression (forget about it) • Regression (“but daddy, I love you!) • Rationalization (“eh, I have my justifications”) • Projection (“Why do you hate me so much?!” [when it’s you who hates yourself]) • Displacement (don’t hit your child, hit a pillow) • Reaction formation (“I am gay, so I will say that I hate gay people!”) • Sublimation (Feel like engaging in a high-risk sexual episode? Draw a picture instead!)

  5. Freud on Development:Psychosexual Stages • Psychosexual stages • Oral (birth) Pleasure is derived from sucking • Anal (2-3 years) Pleasure is derived from defecation through the anus • Anal retentive and Anal expulsive • Phallic (3-6 years) – Pleasure moves to the genital regions • Oedipus Complex and Penis Envy • Latency (6-11 years) – Focus on developing social relationships • Genital (12 years onward) Focus • Fixation = Excessive gratification or frustration
