GROUP 3
FREUDIAN
REVOLUTION
Sigmund Freud
Freud was an Austrian
neurologist and the founder of
psychoanalysis, who created an
entirely new approach to the
understanding of the human
personality. He is regarded as
one of the most influential -
and controversial - minds of
the 20th century.
Sigismund (later changed to Sigmund) Freud was born
on 6 May 1856 in Freiberg, Moravia (now Pribor in the
Czech Republic).
His father was a merchant. The family moved to
Leipzig and then settled in Vienna, where Freud was
educated. Freud's family were Jewish but he was
himself non-practising.
Freud had been diagnosed with cancer of the jaw in
1923, and underwent more than 30 operations. He died
of cancer on 23 September 1939.
Sigmund Freud
Works and Theories
• Freud developed the theory that humans have an
unconscious in which sexual and aggressive impulses are in
perpetual conflict for supremacy with the defences against
them. In 1897, he began an intensive analysis of himself.
• In 1900, his major work 'The Interpretation of Dreams' was
published in which Freud analysed dreams in terms of
unconscious desires and experiences.
After World War One, Freud spent less time in clinical
observation and concentrated on the application of his
theories to history, art, literature and anthropology. In 1923,
he published 'The Ego and the Id', which suggested a new
structural model of the mind, divided into the 'id, the 'ego'
and the 'superego'.
WHAT IS
FREUDIAN
REVOLUTION?
FRUEDIAN REVOLUTION
• A relating to the ideas or methods of Sigmund
Freud, especially his ideas about the way in which
people's hidden thoughts and feelings influence
their behavior especially with respect to the causes
and treatment of neurotic and psychopathic states,
the interpretation of dreams, etc.
• Sigmund Freud emphasized the importance of the
unconscious mind, and a primary assumption of
Freudian theory is that the unconscious mind governs
behavior to a greater degree than people suspect.
Indeed, the goal of psychoanalysis is to make the
unconscious conscious.
PRINCIPLE OF FREUD’s
THEORY OF
PSYCHOANALYSIS
Three forces of the Psychical
Apparatus
[Link]
— has the quality of being unconscious and contains
everything that is inherited, everything that is present at birth,
and the instincts.
[Link]
— as the quality of being conscious and is responsible for controlling
the demands of the id and of the instincts, becoming aware of stimuli,
and serving as a link between the id and the external world.
C. SUPEREGO
- whose demands are managed by the id, is responsible for the
limitation of satisfactions and represents the influence of others, such
as parents, teachers, and role models, as well as the impact of racial,
societal, and cultural traditions
Instincts are the Ultimate Cause of All
Behavior
A) DURING ORAL PHASE
— the individual places emphasis on providing
satisfaction for the needs of the mouth.
B) DURING THE SADISTIC- ANAL PHASE
— satisfaction is sought through aggression and in the
excretory function.
C) DURING THE PALLIC PHASE
— the young boy enters the Oedipus. The young girl, in
contrast, enters the Electra phase
D) IN THE GENITAL PHASE
— the sexual function is completely organized and the
coordination of sexual urge towards pleasure is completed.
Impact of
Freudian Revolution
to the Society
"Freud's most obvious impact was to change the
way society thought about and dealt with
mental illness."
