KEY CONCEPTS
I. HUMAN NATURE
“DETERMINISTIC” – Simply put, Human
Nature, Happens because it happens, our
behavior is determined by Irrational forces,
unconscious motivations and biological &
instinctual drives that are stemmed from
repressed childhood memories or experiences
that hold a certain degree of impact to our
lives
PSYCHOANALYSIS
-emphasizes that behavior is motivated by the
subconscious thoughts and feelings
-Experiences of the first 6 yrs of life are determinants of
later development of personality
-this is dsicovering the unconscious mind and repressed
thoughts, feelings and conflicts that cause the anxiety
(Theory of Anxiety) and helping the person gain the
insight into and resolve the conflicts (Therapy)

- aims at achieving pleasure and avoiding pain ( Pleasure
principle )
EGO- opposite of Id
-focuses on justice or morality (Psychological Component)

young child’s
development of an
intense desire to
replace the parent

 At about 5-6 years of age,
children recognize that their
same-sex parent might punish
them for their incestuous
wishes.

child identifies with the same-
sex parent, striving to be like
him/her.
 If the conflict is not resolved,
the individual may become
fixated at the phallic stage.

psychosexual
development occurs
from puberty onwards.
 It is the time of sexual
reawakening, but the
