Freud: Psychoanalysis
1. Describe how Freud’s three levels of mental life relate to his concept of the provinces of the mind.
Answer:
A. Freud developed his concept of the unconscious, preconscious, and conscious several years before he formulated the notion of
the id, ego, and superego.
B. The unconscious is a dynamic aspect of mental life responsible for many of our behaviors. It consists of both repressed
experiences and experiences that have never been conscious. Childhood sexual and aggressive experiences are most likely to be
repressed and thus enter into the unconscious in a disguised form.
C. The preconscious consists of experiences that are less threatening than those of the unconscious. Preconscious ideas can
become conscious with varying degrees of difficulty, depending on their potential threat to the ego.
D. The conscious mind plays a relatively minor role in Freudian psychology. It refers to those ideas that are in our awareness at
any given time.
E. The id is the amoral, animal side of human nature and is completely unconscious. The id serves the pleasure principle.
F. The ego is the sense of “I” or “me” that children develop at an early age. The ego, which can be unconscious, preconscious, or
conscious, serves the reality principle.
G. The superego comes into existence after the resolution of the Oedipus complex, and serves both the moral and the idealistic
principles. The superego, like the id, is completely unconscious, meaning that its moralistic and idealistic demands are incessant
and out of contact with reality.
2. Trace the development of both the male and the female phallic stages and explain why Freud believed that they follow
different paths.
Answer:
A. Freud believed that the male and the female phallic stages take different routes because male and female anatomies are
different.
B. The male phallic stage begins with the little boy’s sexual desire for his mother and hostility for his father—a condition called
the male Oedipus complex. Fearing his father’s retribution, the boy develops a castration complex, which takes the form of
castration anxiety, or a fear of losing his penis. Because castration anxiety is extremely traumatic, the little boy quickly resolves
this dilemma by giving up his incestuous feelings for his mother and identifying with his father. His identification with his father
leads to him developing a strong male superego—one based on his perception of his father’s morals and ideals.
C. The female phallic stage begins with the castration complex, which, for little girls, takes the form of penis envy. Holding her
mother responsible for her lack of a penis, the girl turns to her father for sexual love and generates hostility for her mother. This
condition, called the female Oedipus complex, is more difficult to resolve than the male Oedipus complex because the girl has no
traumatic experience (such as castration anxiety) to shatter it. Gradually, the girl sees the futility of her position and turns to her
mother for nonsexual love. The girl’s identification with her mother leads to the development of the female superego—a
superego based on her perception of her mother’s morals and ideals.
3. How does Freud’s early therapeutic technique relate to recent reports of childhood abuse?
Answer:
A. Some observers have criticized Freud for abandoning the seduction theory, which placed responsibility for childhood sexual
abuse on a parent, usually the father. When Freud substituted the Oedipus complex for the seduction theory, he switched
responsibility from the parent to the child.
B. Freud’s early therapeutic technique was quite active, forceful, and suggestive. He placed his hands on his patients’ heads and
told them that they would think of something. This procedure usually led to precisely the result that Freud was looking for,
namely, the confession of a childhood seduction.
C. Freud’s highly suggestive technique tended to yield stories of childhood seduction that had been repressed for years. Many
current therapists, using somewhat different but equally suggestive procedures, have been able to “recover” patients’ long-lost
experiences of being sexually or physically abused by an older person, often a parent.
6. In the context of psychoanalytic theory, identify a true statement about Sigmund Freud.
A. He formulated hypotheses after knowing the facts of a case, utilizing the case study approach exclusively.B. He quantified his
data and made observations under controlled conditions.
C. He made observations on a large sample of patients, most of whom were from the lower class.
D. He relied more on rigorous research methods than on deductive reasoning.
10. Freud abandoned his _____ theory in 1897, the year after his father died.
A. seductionB. Oedipal
C. dream
D. childhood sexuality
E. anal
11. Which of the following revisions did Freud make to his theory of personality after World War I?
A. He laid emphasis on the aggression instinct.B. He identified the three levels of mental life.
C. He rejected repression as a defense mechanism to protect the ego.
D. He rejected the notion of a female Oedipus complex.
12. The event that eventually led to Freud’s achievement of fame was his
A. partnership with Jung.B. use of cocaine.
C. insistence on the existence of male hysteria.
D. marriage to Martha Bernays.
E. publication of The Interpretation of Dreams.

D. They are learned only after birth.
16. Which of these progressions is most consistent with the psychoanalytic theory?
A. Anxiety leads to repression, which leads to suppression of sexual feelings, which in turn leads to a reaction formation.B.

activity.

repression.
D. Anxiety leads to suppression of sexual feelings, which leads to repression, which in turn leads to punishment of sexual
behaviors.
