OBJECTIVES
Discuss and evaluate Freud’s Theory of Personality Development.
Identify different defense mechanisms.
THREE PART MIND
Conscious Everyday actions at
any given moment
Preconscious Easily accessible
memories & past events
Unconscious All traumatic or
unpleasant experiences
STUDYING THE UNCONSCIOUS MIND: TECHNIQUES
Dream Analysis Manifest vs latent content, symbolism
Para Praxes Slips of the tongue
Word Association Projective Tests
Inkblots, TAT Free Association
THREE PART PERSONALITY
The Id Pursues pleasure &
instant gratification
The Ego Aware of reality,
considers consequences
The Superego Social conscience
(ideal) & awareness of acceptable behaviors
PSYCHOSEXUAL STAGES
Stage Libido Focus
Oral (0-18m) Pleasure centers on mouth – sucking, biting, chewing
Anal (18-36m) Pleasure focuses on elimination; coping with demands for control
Phallic (3-6y) Pleasure zone is the genitals; coping with sexual feelings (Oedipus/Electra Complex); identification; development superego
Latency (6-pub) Phase of dormant sexual feelings
Genital (Pub ) Maturation of sexual interests
Fixation : When energy gets locked in stage, can lead to maladaptive adult behaviors.
EVALUATION
Personality formed in childhood?
Observable? Reliable? Sexual desires as
primary motivation? Condescending notions
of women (as incomplete men!)?
Cause of mental issues?
DEFENSE MECHANISMS
Ego’s job
Protect personality from hostile world…mind from anxiety.
Healthy Use / Overuse
ROLE PLAY ACTIVITY Put together a quick (2 min) role play that demonstrates
one of these defense mechanisms at work:
1. Regression – retreating to more infantile stage2. Reaction Formation – acting in opposite of true feeling3. Projection – attributing own threatening impulses to others4. Rationalization – explanation/justification of action;
reasoning5. Displacement – shifting impulses to acceptable/less threatening activity, object, person6. Denial – refusing to believe or perceive painful realities7. Repression – banishing thoughts/feelings from consciousness
MORE ACTIVITIES:
Applying Defense Mechanisms Read and apply to examples on back.
Extension activity: Here is a typical scenario – Jack asked Jill to the
homecoming dance, but she rejected him. Provide an example of each defense mechanism at work to protect his ego in this situation.
