ORIGINALLY
Sigismund Schlomo Freud
Sigmund Freud was born in Freiberg, which is
now known as the Czech Republic, on May 6,
1856. Freud developed psychoanalysis, a method
through which an analyst unpacks unconscious
conflicts based on the free associations, dreams
and fantasies of the patient. His theories on child
sexuality, libido and the ego, among other topics,
were some of the most influential academic
concepts of the 20th century.
9. PSYCHOANALYSIS
History
The idea of psychoanalysis first started to receive serious attention under
Sigmund Freud, who formulated his own theory of psychoanalysis in Vienna in
the 1890s.
Freud realized that there were mental processes that were not conscious, whilst
he was employed as a neurological consultant at the Children's Hospital, where
he noticed that many aphasic children had no apparent organic cause for their
symptoms. He then wrote a monograph about this subject. In 1885, Freud
obtained a grant to study with Jean-Martin Charcot, a famed neurologist, at
the Salpêtrière in Paris.
10. Psychoanalysis was founded by Sigmund Freud (1856-1939). Freud
believed that people could be cured by making conscious
their unconscious thoughts and motivations, thus gaining insight.
The aim of psychoanalysis therapy is to release repressed emotions
and experiences, i.e. make the unconscious conscious. It is only
having a cathartic (i.e. healing) experience can the person be helped
and "cured".
PSYCHOANALYSIS
11. The THREE Levels of
Consciousness:
1. Conscious
• The conscious consists of what someone is aware of at any
particular point in time.
• It includes what you are thinking about right now, whether it is
in the front of you mind or the back. If you are aware of it then
it is in the conscious mind.
Example:
Right now as you are reading about the three levels of consciousness you
could be thinking about what is being said in the text and that your eyes are
tired from staring at this screen. In the back of your mind, however, you might
be thinking
12. The THREE Levels of
Consciousness:
2. Pre-conscious
• The preconscious contains information that is just below the surface of
awareness.
• It can be retrieved with relative ease and usually can be thought of as
memory or recollection.
Example:
Right now think of your middle name. That is an example of preconscious
memory. Similar example could be what is your mom's birthday, when did it last
rain, and how long does it take to drive to the mall.
13. The THREE Levels of
Consciousness:
2. Unconscious
• The preconscious contains information that is just below the surface of
awareness.
• It can be retrieved with relative ease and usually can be thought of as
memory or recollection.
Example:
Right now think of your middle name. That is an example of preconscious
memory. Similar example could be what is your mom's birthday, when did it last
rain, and how long does it take to drive to the mall.

15. The 3 structure of
Personality

personality: the id, ego, and superego.

drives and impulses derived
from the genetic background
and concerned with the
preservation
and propagation of life.

Personality
Ego - is the psychological
component of the
personality that is

Superego - is the social
component of
our personality
and conscience .
22. In order to deal with conflict and problems in life, Freud
stated that the ego employs a range of defense
mechanisms. Defense mechanisms operate at an
unconscious level and help ward off unpleasant feelings (i.e.
anxiety) or make good things feel better for the individual.
