Note: AGGRIVATED THAT ANOTHER GROUP IS ALSO DOING OUR TOPIC!!!!

Signmund Freud:

psychotherapies, second only to Scientology as the champion purveyor of false and misleading claims about the mind, mental health, and mental illness. For example, in psychoanalysis schizophrenia and depression are not brain disorders, but narcissistic disorders. Autism and other brain disorders are not brain problems but mothering problems. These illnesses do not require pharmacological or behavioral treatment. They require only “talk” therapy. Similar positions are taken for anorexia nervosa and Tourette’s syndrome
Freud thought he understood the nature of schizophrenia. It is not a brain disorder, but a disturbance in the unconscious caused by unresolved feelings of homosexuality.

Inferiority Complex:

An inferiority complex, in the fields of psychology and psychoanalysis, is a feeling that one is inferior to others in some way.
. It is often subconscious, and is thought to drive afflicted individuals to overcompensate, resulting either in spectacular achievement or extreme schizotypal behavior, or both. Unlike a normal feeling of inferiority, which can act as an incentive for achievement (or promote discouragement), an inferiority complex is

Tripartite Theory

Sigmund Freud introduced what would later come to be called the “structural theory” of psychoanalysis in his 1923 book, The Ego and the Id. The structural theory divides the mind into three agencies or “structures:” The “id,” the “ego,” and the “superego.” The unconscious id consists of humanity’s most primitive desires to satisfy its biological needs ‘pleasure’. The superego (also unconscious) contains the socially-induced conscious and counteracts the id with moral and ethical prohibitions. The largely conscious ego functions as mediator between the two.

Freud’s Five Psychosexual Stages of Development

Oral: Developmentally the first of Freud’s psychosexual stages. During this stage the id seeks gratification through pleasuring the oral erogenous zone, and revolves around eating and sucking.

Anal: The anal stage begins at 2-3 years of age, during which the id derives pleasure through waste elimination. Freud viewed this stage as significant because it marks a child’s first attempt to control a biological impulse in order to meet the demands of society.

Phallic: Beginning at 4-5 years of age, it is in this stage that Freud’s famous Oedipus and Electra complexes emerge. These complexes are named after characters of Greek myth whose narratives share common traits. Male children develop a sexual desire for their mother, view their father as a rival, and fear that he will castrate them as a result — the so called Oedipus complex. Female children, on the other hand, develop penis envy (the Electra Complex). They blame their mothers for their lack of penis, and desire to compensate for this by giving birth to their father’s children. The phallic conflicts are resolved by method of repression. Through repressing the child learns to identify with its same-sex parent, allowing for both the vicarious possession of the opposite-sex parent and the development of the superego.

Latency: The latency stage begins at age six. Children are sexually latent during this stage.

Genital: The reappearance of sexuality during adolescence marks the beginning of the genital stage, which lasts for the rest of the person’s life. In this final stage, sexual urges are outlet directly into sexual relationships.

Freud’s Psychoanalytic Ego Defence Mechanisms

Freud believed that anxiety occurs when impulses emanating from the id threaten to overpower the ego. The ego can respond to this threat by using coping mechanisms that are in line with reality. However, if these attempts to cope realistically fail, the ego may resort one or more of the following eight defense mechanisms:

- Denial
- Displacement
- Intellectualization
- Projection
- Repression
- Rationalization

Reaction Formation involves the repression of the anxiety-arousing impulse, whose energy is then diverted into the exaggerated acting out of the opposite behaviour.
Example: A marriage partner represses deep feelings of discontent with their spouse, and instead becomes clingy and affectionate.

Sublimation

occurs when the anxiety-arousing impulse is released in an altered, socially acceptable form.
Example: A person with violent impulses becomes a nightclub bouncer, acting on those impulses as required by the job.
