Wish fulfillment and the gratification of desires2. Dreams provide a safety valve3. Dreams are guardians of sleepDREAMS•I often dream about:A. NudityB. FlyingC. FallingD. Being ChasedE. ParalysisID•To Freud, the id is a metaphor for all primitive drives. •He envisioned the id as chaotic, impulsive, and a vessel of pure stimulation.•The id serves as the connecting factor between the physiological drives and basic behavioral control.•Its sole motivation is relentless quest for pleasure – which Freud called the pleasure principle.EGO•The ego mediates and facilitates all sensation and perception from the outside world. • Freud called the ego the reality principle.•The ego is able to make judgments that meet the demands of external reality; it is therefore able to control impulses and delay the gratification of needs.• The ego is the only part of the psyche that is self-preservative and the only part in contact with physical and social reality.SUPEREGO•The superego emerges from the ego after the ego has developed from the id.• The process of superego formation is put in motion by the restraints, rules and regulations conveyed by a child’s caretakers.• This imposition of standards educates the child about the moral rules of society, which Freud saw as being integrated into the personality through the superego.• Largely unconsciousParts of the MindParts of the MindPsychosexual Development•The gradual development of the mind as the libido is redirected to different parts of the body•Psychosexual Stages•Oral•Anal•Phallic•Latency•GenitalOral Stage•Theme: Infants are driven to satisfy the drives of hunger and thirst•Conflict: Child must give up breast feeding•Fixation: Dependency Preoccupation with oral acquisition•Do you have an oral fixation?A.

During this period little boys desire mother and fear that father will punish this desire by castrating them. Resolution requires that little boys transform their fears into admiration and identification.•Electra Complex (girls). During this period little girls wish that they had a penis and blame mother for their inferiority. Resolution requires that little girls identify with mother so that they can obtain a man and have a baby (a penis substitute)PHALLIC CHARACTER•The sum of one’s identification makes up the third major psychic structure: the superego.•The phallic character centers around the presence (or lack thereof) of a moral code.Latency Stage•Theme: Psychosexual energy is channeled into academic and social pursuits•Conflicts and fixations do not occur during this stageGenital Stage•Theme: The individual gains satisfaction from mature relationships•This stage is achieved if a person makes it through the other stages with enough available sexual energy•i.e., no strong fixations•“normal (conventional) adult sexualityGENITAL PERSONALITY (?)•Freud implied the existence of a genital personality and never actually proposed a distinct personality type associated with this stage of development.•People free of neurosis, adults with a fully developed genital
