    Freudian Theory of Personality

    The adult personality emerges as a composite of


    early childhood experiences, based on how these
    experiences are consciously and unconsciously
    processed within human developmental stages,
    and how these experiences shape the personality.
    Not every person completes the necessary tasks of
    every developmental stage. When they don’t, the
    result can be a mental condition requiring
    psychoanalysis to achieve proper functioning.
    Freudian Stages of
    Development
    Believing that most human suffering is determined during
    childhood development, Freud placed emphasis on the five
    stages of psychosexual development. As a child passes
    through these stages, unresolved conflicts between
    physical drives and social expectations may arise. These
    stages are:
    ● Oral (0 of 1.5 years of age): Fixation on all things oral. If
    not satisfactorily met, there is the likelihood of developing
    negative oral habits or behavior.
    ● Anal (1.5 of 3 years of age): This stage is primarily
    ● Phallic (3 to 5 years of age): The development
    of healthy substitutes for the sexual attraction
    that boys and girls have toward a parent of the
    opposite gender.
    ● Latency (5 to 12 years of age): The
    development of healthy dormant sexual
    feelings of the opposite sex.
    ● Genital (12 to adulthood): All tasks from
    the previous four stages are integrated
    into the mind allowing for the onset of
    healthy sexual feelings and behaviors.
    It is during these stages of development that the
    experiences are filtered through the three
    levels of the human mind. It is from these
    structures and the inherent conflicts that arise in
    the mind that personality is shaped. According
    to Freud while there is an interdependence
    among
    these three levels, each level also serves a
    purpose in personality development. Within this
    theory, the ability of a person to resolve internal
    conflicts at specific stages of their development
    determines future coping and functioning
    ability as a fully mature adult.
    Superego
    Each stage is processed through Freud’s
    concept of the human mind as a three-tier
    system
    consisting of the superego, the ego, and the id.
    The superego functions at a conscious level. It
    serves as a type of screening center for what is
    going on. It is at this level that society and
    parental guidance are weighed against
    personal pleasure and gain as directed by one’s
    id. Obviously, this puts in motion situations ripe
    Ego
    Much like a judge in a trial, once experiences
    are processed through the superego and the id
    they fall into the ego to mediate a satisfactory
    outcome. Originally, Freud used the word ego
    to mean a sense of self but later revised it to
    mean a set of psychic functions such as
    judgment, tolerance, reality testing, control,
    planning, defense, synthesis of information,
    intellectual functioning, and memory.
    Id
    The egocentric center of the human
    universe, Freud believed that within
    this one level, the id is constantly
    fighting to have our way in everything
    we undertake.
