2.  Born on May 6, 1856, in Freiberg, Moravia.
 Was an Austrian neurologist and the founder of
psychoanalysis.
 He 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.
 He began to study medicine at University of Vienna in
1873. At the third year of university he started a
research into nervous system.

3.  Freud qualified as a doctor of medicine at the
university of Vienna in 1881, then he worked at the
Vienna General Hospital.
 In 1885, Freud went to Paris as a student of the
neurologist Jean Charcot. On his return to Vienna the
following year, Freud set up in private practice,
specializing in nervous and brain disorder.
 In 1897, he began an intensive analysis of himself. In
1900, his major work “the interpretation of dreams”
was published in which Freud analyzed dreams in
terms of unconscious desires and experiences.
 Freud developed the theory that human have an
unconscious in which sexual and aggressive impulses
are in perpetual conflict for supremacy.

4.  Another theme he concerned was about the importance
of the first few years of life in the subsequent
development of personality.
 He also believed that children experience emotional
conflicts, and their future adjustment depends on how
well these conflicts are resolved.

5. Psychosexual Development:
 The theory of psychosexual development describes
how personality develops during childhood. Freud
believed that personality develops through a series of
childhood stages in which the pleasure seeking
energies of the id become focused on certain erogenous
areas.
 Psychoanalytical theory suggested that personality is
mostly established by the age of five. Early experiences
play a large role in personality development and
continue to influence behavior later in life.
 If these psychosexual stages are completed successfully
then the result is a healthy personality.

6.  The id is the only component of the personality that is
present from birth. This aspect of personality is entirely
unconscious and includes the instinctive and primitive
behaviors . According to Freud, the id is the source of all
psychic energy, making it the primary component of
personality.
 The ego is the component of personality that is responsible
for dealing with reality. According to Freud, the ego
develops from the id and ensures that the impulses of the id
can be expressed in a manner acceptable in the real world.
The ego functions in both the conscious, preconscious and
unconscious mind.
 The superego is the aspect of personality that holds all of our
internalized moral standards and ideals that we acquire
from both parents and society- our sense of right and
wrong. It provides guidelines for making judgments. It
begins emerge at age five.
