Defination: a system of psychological theory and therapy which aims to treat mental disorders by investigating the interaction of conscious and unconscious elements in the mind and bringing repressed fears and conflicts into the conscious mind by techniques such as dream interpretation and free association
(Sigmund Freud)
(1856 to 1939)
Introduction:
He was an Austrian neurologist who became known as the founding father of psychoanalysis In creating psychoanalysis, a clinical method for treating psychopathology through dialogue between a patient and a psychoanalyst, Freud developed therapeutic techniques such as the use of free association and discovered transference,
Freud Theory: The emphasis is on the unconscious determinants of behavior and the primacy of early childhood experiences, on the dynamic interaction of components of the psyche as they move through psychosexual stages of development, and on the use of defense Mechanisms to protect the ego.
Freud’s psychoanalytic model has three major components:
(1) The structure of the personality (2) The defense mechanisms (3) Stages of psychosexual development
The structure of the personality
Freud’s Structure of the Mind:
(i) Id (ii) Ego (iii) Super Ego id
Defination:
According to Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory of personality, the id is the personality component made up of unconscious psychic energy that works to satisfy basic urges, needs, and desires. The id operates based on the pleasure principle, which demands immediate gratification of needs.
About:
The id is the only part of personality that is present at birth. Freud also suggested that this primitive component of personality existed completely within the unconscious. The id acts as the driving force behind personality. It not only strives to fulfill our most basic urges, many of which are tied directly to survival, it also provides all of the energy necessary to drive personality.
