FREUD'S PSYCHOANALYTIC

THEORY
SLIDESMANIA.CO
 Freud’s views about human development are more
than a century old. He can be considered the most
well known pyschologist because of his very
interesting theory about the unconcious and also
about sexual development.

Freud’s theory remains to be one of the most

influential in pyschology. His theory sparked the
ideas in the brilliant minds of other theorist and thus
became the starting point of many other theories,
SLIDESMANIA.CO

notable of which is Erikson’s Pyschosocial theory

 - Freud is the most popular pyschologist that studied
the development of personality,aslo probably the
most controversial.His theory includes 5 distinct
stages of Pyschosexual Development.

-Freud identified specific erogenous zones for each

stage of development.  Erogenous zone or
“pleasure area” become a focal points for the
particular stage.  Fixation occurs when needs are
not met along the area.  As an adult, the person
SLIDESMANIA.CO

will now manifest behaviors related to this

 FREUD'S STAGE OF PSYCHOSEXUAL
DEVELOPMENT

Oral Stage (birth to 18 months)

The erogenous zone is the mouth. During this stage the child is
fucosed on oral pleasures (sucking) (such as thumb sucking,
Breastfeeding, etc.).

-Too much or too little satisfaction can lead to an ORAL

RECEPTIVE that is have a stronger tendency to smoke, drink
alchohol, overeat or ORAL AGRESSIVE, strong tendency to
SLIDESMANIA.CO

bite his/her nails, or use curse words or even gossip.

 Anal Stage (18 months to 3 years)
The child’s focus of pleasure is the anus. The child finds satisfaction in eliminating
and retaining feces.

In terms of personality ,fixation during this stage in being

ANAL RETENTIVE an obsession with cleanliness , perfection, and control .
ANAL EXPULSIVE where the person may become messy and disorganized

 Phallic Stage (ages 3-6)
The pleasure or erogenous zone is genitals. During the preschoolers will sometimes become
interested in what makes boys and girls different.

Oedipus Complex - According to Freud, in the phallic stage the desire or libido of children
is centered upon the genitalia. While in this stage, children become aware of their genitals
and gender differences as well as the difference between male and females.

Electra Complex – female child develops unconcious sexual attraction towards their father.
And treat their mother as a rival. (Papa’s Girl) According to Freud, boys eventually identify
their father and develops masculine characteristics and repress their sexual feelings towards
SLIDESMANIA.CO

their mother.
 Latency Stage (age 6- puberty)
– This stage remains sexual repressed. The child’s focus is the acquisition
(developing of skills, habit or quality) of physical and academic skills. Boys usually
relate more with the boys and girls with girls during this stage.

Genital Stage – (Puberty onwards)

. The fifth stage of psychosexual development begins at the start of puberty when
sexual urges are once again awakened. In the earlier stages, adolescents focus their
SLIDESMANIA.CO

sexual urges towards the opposite sex peers, with the pleasure centered on the
genitals.
 FREUD'S PERSONALITY COMPONENT

-  Freud described the personality structures as having three

components,the id ,the ego and the Superego.

The id
Freud says that ,a child is born with the id . The id plays a vital role in
one’s personality because as a baby, it works so that the baby’s
SLIDESMANIA.CO

essential needs are met. The id operates on the pleasure needs. It

 The ego
As the baby turns into a toddler and then into a preschooler he/she relates
more with the environment the ego slowly begins to emerge. It refer to help id
meet its needs. The ego operates using the reality. It is practical because it
knows that being impulsive or selfish can result to negative consequences.

The super ego

– Near the end of the preschool years, or the end of the phallic stage, the
superego develops. The superego embodies a person’s moral aspect. This
SLIDESMANIA.CO

develops from what the parents, teachers and other persons who exert
influence impart to be good or moral.  The superego is likened to conscience
 Topographical Model

The Unconscious
- Freud said that most what we go through in our lives, emotions, beliefs,
feelings and impulses deep within are not available to us at a conscious level.
He believe that the most influence us is our unconscious.

The conscious
– Freud also said that all that we are aware of is stored in our conscious mind.
Our conscious mind only comprises a very small part of who we are so that in
SLIDESMANIA.CO

our everyday life, we are only aware of a very small part of what makes up our
 The subconscious/ preconscious.
– this is the part of us that we can reach if prompted, but is not In
our active conscious. Its right below the surface, but still hidden
somewhat unless we search for it.
