    FREUDIAN REVOLUTION

    Sigmund Freud
    Freud was an Austrian neurologist
    and the founder of
    psychoanalysis, who created an
    entirely new approach to the
    understanding of the human
    personality. He is regarded as one
    of the most influential - and
    controversial - minds of the 20th
    century.
    • Sigismund (later changed to Sigmund) Freud was born on 6 May 1856 in
    Freiberg, Moravia (now Pribor in the Czech Republic).
    • His father was a merchant. The family moved to Leipzig and then settled in
    Vienna, where Freud was educated. Freud's family were Jewish but he was
    himself non-practising.
    • Freud had been diagnosed with cancer of the jaw in 1923, and underwent
    more than 30 operations. He died of cancer on 23 September 1939.
    Sigmund Freud
    Works and Theories
    • Freud developed the theory that humans have an unconscious in which
    sexual and aggressive impulses are in perpetual conflict for supremacy with
    the defences against them. In 1897, he began an intensive analysis of
    himself.
    • In 1900, his major work 'The Interpretation of Dreams' was published in
    which Freud analysed dreams in terms of unconscious desires and
    experiences.
    • After World War One, Freud spent less time in clinical observation and
    concentrated on the application of his theories to history, art, literature and
    anthropology. In 1923, he published 'The Ego and the Id', which suggested a
    new structural model of the mind, divided into the 'id, the 'ego' and the
    'superego'.
    WHAT IS
    FREUDIAN
    REVOLUTION?
    Freudian Revolution
    • A relating to the ideas or methods of Sigmund Freud, especially
    his ideas about the way in which people's hidden thoughts and
    feelings influence their behavior especially with respect to the
    causes and treatment of neurotic and psychopathic states, the
    interpretation of dreams, etc.
    • Sigmund Freud emphasized the importance of the unconscious
    mind, and a primary assumption of Freudian theory is that the
    unconscious mind governs behavior to a greater degree than
    people suspect. Indeed, the goal of psychoanalysis is to make
    the unconscious conscious.
    Principles
    of Freud's
    Theory of
    Psychoanalysis
    Three forces of the Psychical Apparatus
    a) ID
    - has the quality of being unconscious and contains everything that is
    inherited, everything that is present at birth, and the instincts
    b) Ego
    - as the quality of being conscious and is responsible for controlling the
    demands of the id and of the instincts, becoming aware of stimuli, and serving
    as a link between the id and the external world.
    c) Superego
    - whose demands are managed by the id, is responsible for the limitation of
    satisfactions and represents the influence of others, such as parents, teachers,
    and role models, as well as the impact of racial, societal, and cultural traditions
    Instincts are the Ultimate Cause of All
    Behavior
    TWO BASIC INSTINCTS:
    a) Eros (Love)
    - The purpose of Eros is to establish and preserve unity through
    relationships.
    b) Destructive or Death Instinct
    - the purpose of the death instinct is to undo connections and unity
    via destruction
    Four Main Phases in Sexual
    Development
    a) During Oral Phase
    - the individual places emphasis on providing satisfaction for the needs of the
    mouth.
    b) During the Sadistic - Anal Phase
    - satisfaction is sought through aggression and in the excretory function.
    c) During the Phallic Phase
    - the young boy enters the Oedipus. The young girl, in contrast, enters the
    Electra phase
    d) In the Genital Phase
    - the sexual function is completely organized and the coordination of sexual
    urge towards pleasure is completed.
     Ideas considered to be CONSCIOUS are those of which we
    are aware, yet they remain conscious only briefly.
     PRECONSCIOUS ideas are defined as those that are
    capable of becoming conscious
     UNCONSCIOUS ideas are defined as those that are not
    easily accessible but can be inferred, recognized, and
    explained through analysis
    Impact of
    Freudian Revolution
    to the Society
    “Freud's most obvious impact was to change the way
    society thought about and dealt with mental illness.”
