Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud Sigmund Freud, an Austrian Neurologist, the Founder of Psychoanalysis, and the Father of Modern Psychology.

Born on May 6, 1856 at Freiberg, Moravia now Czech Republic and passed away on September 23, 1939 in London, England. Sigmund Freud developed a series of talk therapy-based therapeutic techniques that included transference, free association, and dream interpretation. Psychoanalysis was the dominant school of thinking in psychology during its early years, and it remains so today. The unconscious, want fulfillment, and the ego are all phrases used in ordinary language to refer to Freud's beliefs. Freud had a major influence on psychology, regardless of how one thinks about his theories now. His studies supported the idea that not all mental illnesses are caused by physiological factors, and he acknowledged the impact of cultural differences on psychology and behavior. His publications and studies contributed to our understanding of personality, clinical psychology, human development, and abnormal psychology. Psych Vocabulary:
Transference: Occurs when a person redirects some of their feelings or desires for another person to an entirely different person. Free Association: A basic process in psychoanalysis and other forms of psychodynamic psychotherapy, in which the patient is encouraged to verbalize without censorship or selection whatever thoughts come to mind, no matter how embarrassing, illogical, or irrelevant. Psychoanalysis: Method of treating mental disorders, shaped by psychoanalytic theory, which emphasizes unconscious mental processes and is sometimes described as “depth psychology.”

Physiological Factors: Things related to your physical body that affect your thinking. Unconscious: The complex of mental activities within an individual that proceed without his awareness. Ego: Portion of the human personality which is experienced as the “self” or “I” and is in contact with the external world through perception. Clinical Psychology: The psychological specialty that provides continuing and comprehensive mental and behavioral health care for individuals and families; consultation to agencies and communities; training, education and supervision; and research-based practice. Abnormal Psychology: A branch of psychology that deals with psychopathology and abnormal behavior, often in a clinical context.

The 𝙞𝙙, 𝙚𝙜𝙤, and 𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙜𝙤, according to Freud's personality theory (1923), are three elements of the psyche that develop at different points in our lives. These are systems, not brain parts or physical structures.

The 𝙞𝙙 is the most basic and instinctive aspect of one's psyche. The id is a component of the unconscious that holds all of our drives and impulses, including the libido, a kind of generalized sexual energy that may be employed for anything from survival instincts to art appreciation. The id is also tenacious, because it only reacts to what Sigmund Freud dubbed the 𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙥𝙡𝙚 (do what feels good).

The 𝙚𝙜𝙤 grows to act as a buffer between the unrealistic id and the external reality. It is the part of the personality that makes decisions. The ego, in its ideal state, is rational, whereas the id is chaotic and illogical. The ego follows the 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙥𝙡𝙚, figuring out realistic ways to meet the desires, id's typically compromising or deferring fulfillment to avoid unfavorable societal consequences. When selecting how to act, the ego considers societal reality and standards, as well as etiquette and rules.

The 𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙜𝙤 is a portion of the unconscious that is the source of self-criticism and the voice of 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 (doing what is right). The superego contains a great number of rules, or prohibitions, that are delivered mostly unconsciously in the form of commands or "don't" statements. It reflects society's moral ideals to some extent, and a person is sometimes aware of their own morals and ethics.

The three levels of consciousness, according to Freud, are like an iceberg. The 𝕔𝕠𝕟𝕤𝕔𝕚𝕠𝕦𝕤 mind is represented as the tip of the iceberg that can be seen above the ocean. The 𝕡𝕣𝕖𝕔𝕠𝕟𝕤𝕔𝕚𝕠𝕦𝕤 is the section of the iceberg that is submerged beneath the ocean but still visible. The 𝕦𝕟𝕔𝕠𝕟𝕤𝕔𝕚𝕠𝕦𝕤 is represented by the mass of the iceberg that sits beneath the waterline.

NETWORK NO. 2: Psychodynamic Approach

Sigmund Freud developed Psychodynamic Theory as a personality theory. Many thinkers have contributed to it throughout the years, and it has evolved tremendously. Human conduct, according to Freud, can be explained by intrapsychic processes and interpersonal patterns that exist outside of a person's conscious knowledge and are based on their early experiences. Psychodynamic theory states that influences outside of a person's awareness explain why individuals behave the way they do.

The term psychodynamics was also coined by Sigmund Freud. He noticed that his patients had psychological symptoms that had no biological explanation. Despite their best efforts, some patients were unable to alleviate their problems. If the symptoms could not be stopped by conscious decision, Freud reasoned, they must emerge from the unconscious. As a result, the symptoms were caused by the unconscious will contending with the conscious will, which he named "psychodynamics."

📍 CHECK-IN: Where is Freud?

Clark University
Address: 950 Main St, Worcester, MA 01610, United States

At Clark University in Worcester, Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, gave the first of five lectures titled "The Origin and Development of Psychoanalysis." G. Stanley Hall organized an international conference that included 175 of the world's leading psychologists, including Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud, as well as educators, physicians, and Emma Goldman, "the odd political revolutionary."

The five lectures Freud gave at Clark (over five days in German) were the only ones he ever gave in the United States, and the honorary degree he received was the first ever bestowed on the father of psychoanalysis.
