FREUD’S
PSYCHOANALYTIC
THEORY
-Sigmund Freud
(The Father of Psychoanalytic Theory
Freud’s Stages of Psychosexual
Development
• Freud is the most popular psychologist that studied the development
of personality, also probably the most controversial. His theory of
psychosexual development includes five distinct stages.
• The theory is quiet interesting for many because Freud identified
specific “erogenous zones” for each stage of development. These
are specific “pleasure areas” that become focal points for the
particular stage.
• Fixation - results from failure to satisfy the needs of a particular
psychosexual stage.
Five distinct stages of Freud’s Psychosexual
Development
Oral Stage (Birth to 18 months)
• The erogenous zone is the mouth. During the oral stage, the
child is focused on oral pleasures (sucking). Too much or too
little satisfaction can lead to an Oral Fixation or Oral
Personality which is shown in an increased focus on oral
activities. This type of personality may be oral receptive, that
is, have a stronger tendency to smoke, drink alcohol, over
eat, or oral aggressive, that is, with a tendency to bite his or
her nails, or use curse words or even gossip.
Anal Stage (18 months to 3 years)
• The child’s focus of pleasure in this stage is the anus. The
child finds satisfaction in eliminating and retaining feces.
Through society’s expectations, particularly the parent’s the
child needs to work on toilet training.
• Between 1 year old to 3 years the child’s favorite word might
be “No”. Therefore, a struggle might exist in the toilet training
process when the child retains feces for some reason.
Phallic Stage(ages 3 to 6)
• The pleasure or erogenous zone is the genitals. During the
preschool age, children become interested in what makes
boys and girls different. Preschoolers will sometimes be seen
fondling their genitals.
• Freud’s studies led him to believe that during his stage boys
develop unconscious sexual desire for their mother. Boys
then see their father as a rival for her mother’s affection.
Boys may fear that their father will punish them for these
feelings, thus the castration anxiety.
• Oedipus Complex, in Greek Mythology, Oedipus
unintentionally killed his father and married his mother
Jocasta.
• Electra Complex, developing unconscious sexual attraction
towards his father.
• According to Freud, out of fear of castration and due to the
strong competition of their father, boys eventually decide to
identify with them rather fight them. By identifying with their
father, the boys develop masculine characteristics and
identify themselves as males and repress their sexual
feelings toward their mother.
Latency Stage(age 6 to puberty)
• It's during this stage that sexual urges remain repressed. The
children's focus is the acquisition of physical and academic
skills. Boys usually relate more with boys and girls with girls
during this stage.
Genital Stage (puberty onwards)
• The fifth stage of psychosexual development begins at the
start of puberty when sexual urges are once again
awakened. in the earlier stages, adolescents focus their
sexual urges towars the opposite sex peers, with pleasure
centered on the genitals.
Freud's Personality Components
• Freud's described the
personality structures as having
three components, the id, the
ego and the superego. For
each person, the first to emerge
is the id, followed by the ego,
and the last to develop is the
superego.
The id.
• Freud say's that, a child is born with the id. The id plays a vital role in
one's personality because as a baby, it works so that the baby's
essential needs are met.
• The id operates on the pleasure principle. It focuses on immediate
gratification or satisfaction of its needs. So whatever feels good now is
what it will pursue with no consideration for the reality, logicality or
practicality of the situation
• Nothing else matters to the id except the satisfaction of its own needs. It
is not oriented towards considering reality nor the needs of others.
The ego.
• As the baby turns into a toddler and then into a preschooler,
he/she relates more with the environment, the ego slowly
begins to emerge.
• The ego operates using the reality principle. It is aware that
others also nhave needs to be met. It is practical because it
knows that being impilsive or selfish can result to negative
consequences later, so it reason's and considers the best
response to situations.
The superego.
• Near the end of the preschool years, or the end of the phallic
stage, the superego develops. The superego embodies
person's moral aspect.
• The superego is likened to conscience because it exerts
influence on what one considers right and wrong.
The Three Components and Pesonality
Adjustment
• Freud said that a well-adjusted person is one who has strong ego, who can
help satisfy the needs of the id without going againts the superego while
maintaining the person's sense of what is logical, practical and real.
• The ability of a learner to be well-adjusted is largely influenced by how the
learner was brought up. His experiences about how his parents met his
needs, the extent to which he was allowed to do the things he wanted to do,
and also the how he was taught about right and wrong, all figures to the type
of personality and consequent adjustment that a person will make.
• Freud believed that the personality of an individual is formed during the the
childhood years.
Topographical Model
The Unconscious
• Freud said that most what we
go through in our lives,
emotions, beliefs, feelings, and
impulses deep within are not
available to us at a conscious
level.
• He believed that most of what
influence us is our unconscious.
The Conscious
• Freud also said that all that we are
aware of is stored in our conscious
mind. Our conscious mind only
comprises a very small part of who
we are so that, in our everyday life,
we are only aware of a very small
part of what makes up our
personality: mos of what we are is
hidden and out of reach.
The Subconscious
• The last part is the
preconscious or sunconscious.
This is the part of us that we can
reach id prompted, but is not in
our active conscious.
• It's right below surface, but still
“hidden” somewhat unless we
search for it.
Erikson’s Psychosocial
Stages of Development
Psychosocial Development
There were two psychologists who had
developed famous psychosocial theories:
Freud, and Erikson.
Erikson believes that personality develops in
a series of stages.
Freud’s theory is well known but also very
controversial.
Erikson’s Theory of Development
Shows impact of social experiences across ones
whole lifespan.
There are eight stages over a lifespan showing the
development.
The main elements behind his theory is the identity
of ones ego.
According to his theory when conflicts arise people
have the opportunity to grow or fail equally.
Trust vs. Mistrust
• Occurs in infancy. (birth-18
months).

meaning of temporary life.
• Or complains about regrets,
not having enough time, and

their entire life.
History of Psychosocial Theory
• Erikson was one of the first psychologists to
become aware of the influence of culture on
behavior.
• He placed more emphasis on the external
world, meaning depression and wars.
• The three key factors to Erikson’s theory are
the interaction of the body, mind, and cultural
influences.
• His basic philosophy rests on two themes:
- The world gets bigger as we go along
- And failure is cumulative.
• If an individual has dealt with a terrible past
as a child, they might not be able to cope
with scenarios that life presents later on.
• However, human spirit can always be ignited
and overcome these problems.
Erikson’s Philosophy
Overview
• Erikson has eight developmental stages that gives
people an idea of what to expect throughout life.
• Behavior is based on culture experiences.
• Each person has the ability to choose their path when it
comes to his eight stages.
THE SELF AS COGNITIVE
CONSTRUCT
Relating to, being, or involving conscious intellectual
activity (such as thinking, reasoning, or
remembering).
COGNITIVE
“I” vs. “me”
- One of the earliest psychologists to study the
self.
- Conceptualized the self as having two
aspects, the “I” and the “me”.
- “I” is the thinking, acting, and feeling self.
- “me” is the physical characteristics as well as
psychological capabilities that makes who you
are.
William james
• William James
- The Empirical Self or Me
- It is clear that between what a man calls me and what he
simply calls mine, the line is difficult to draw. We feel and
act about certain things that are ours very much as we feel
and act about ourselves. Our fame, our children, the work of
our hands, may be as dear to us as our bodies are, and
arouse the same feelings and the same acts of reprisal if
attacked. And our bodies themselves, are they simply
ours, or are they us?
- In its widest possible sense, a man's Self is the sum total
of all that he CAN call his, not only his body and his
psychic powers, but his clothes and his house, his wife and
children, his ancestors and friends, his reputation and
works, his lands and horses, and yacht and bank-account.
All these things give him the same emotions.
William james
- The constituents of the Self may be divided
into classes, those which make up respectively
-
- (a) The material Self;
- (b) The social Self; “Me” Self
- (c) The spiritual Self; and
- (d) The pure Ego. “I” Self
William james
- Self-esteem is the subjective measure of a person's value—the
worth that one believes one has as an individual.
- self esteem as the ratio of an individual's actual behavior in
contrast to their pretensions.
Self- Esteem = Actual Behavior
Pretensions
