Psychology: An Introduction Charles A. Morris & Albert A. Maisto © 2005 Prentice Hall Psychodynamic Theories Five propositions common to all psychodynamic theories Much of mental life is unconscious Mental processes such as emotions, motivations, and thought may conflict with one another Childhood experiences Our mental representation of ourselves and others guides our interactions with others Development of personality involves learning to regulate sexual and aggressive urges

Psychology: An Introduction Charles A. Morris & Albert A. Maisto © 2005 Prentice Hall Id Operates according to the pleasure principle, i.e., seeks immediate pleasure and to avoid pain Operates entirely in the unconscious mind Reflex Actions Wish Fulfillment

Psychology: An Introduction Charles A. Morris & Albert A. Maisto © 2005 Prentice Hall Ego Mediates between reality, conscience (superego), and instinctual needs (id) reality principle Operates at the conscious, preconscious, and unconscious levels

Psychology: An Introduction Charles A. Morris & Albert A. Maisto © 2005 Prentice Hall Superego The social and parental standards that have been internalized Conscience Our sense of morality Ego ideal The standard of what one would like to be We are not born with the superego, but it develops over time Operates at the conscious, preconscious, and unconscious levels

Psychology: An Introduction Charles A. Morris & Albert A. Maisto © 2005 Prentice Hall Defense Mechanisms Anxiety is produced when the ego cannot satisfy the demands of the id in a way acceptable to the superego This anxiety causes feelings of uneasiness and worry

Psychology: An Introduction Charles A. Morris & Albert A. Maisto © 2005 Prentice Hall Defense Mechanisms Denial Refusal to acknowledge a painful reality Repression Unpleasant thoughts are excluded from consciousness Projection Attributing one’s own feelings, motives, or wishes to others Identification Taking on the characteristics of other to avoid feeling incompetent Regression Reverting to childlike behavior

Psychology: An Introduction Charles A. Morris & Albert A. Maisto © 2005 Prentice Hall Defense Mechanisms Intellectualization Thinking about stressful problems in an abstract way to detach oneself from them Reaction formation Expression of exaggerated ideas and emotions that are opposite of true feelings Displacement Shift repressed motives from an original object to a substitute object Sublimation Redirecting repressed motives and feelings into socially acceptable activities

Psychology: An Introduction Charles A. Morris & Albert A. Maisto © 2005 Prentice Hall Development of Personality Freud believed that personality development is the result of various ways in which the sexual instinct (also called the libido) is satisfied during the course of life There are several stages, each focusing on different bodily areas These stages are called the psychosexual stages

Psychology: An Introduction Charles A. Morris & Albert A. Maisto © 2005 Prentice Hall Psychosexual Stages Oral Stage (birth to 18 months) Pleasure is obtained by sucking and swallowing Too much oral stimulation may result in an overly optimistic, gullible, and dependent adult Too little stimulation can result in a pessimistic, sarcastic, argumentative adult Anal Stage (18 months to 3 ½ years) Focus of pleasure is the anus, especially controlling bowels Strict toilet training may result in anal retentive personality types as adults, i.e., stingy and excessively orderly

Psychology: An Introduction Charles A. Morris & Albert A. Maisto © 2005 Prentice Hall Psychosexual Stages Phallic Stage (after age 3) Erotic feelings center on genitals Boys experience the Oedipal complex Girls experience the Electra complex Fixation at this stage may result in vanity and egotism in adult life
