Frued Flashcards
repression
- Repressed memories were a cornerstone of Freud’s psychoanalytic framework. He believed
that people repressed memories that were too difficult to confront, particularly traumatic memories,
and expelled them from conscious thought. This idea launched an enduring controversy in the field
of psychology.
regression
- When something happens and someone regresses. Example is when someone is a really
good child and then a new baby is born and he’s going back. Instead of doing the things he has
learned, he started to poop his pants again, want to breast feed again, and act like a toddler or baby
again. When someone goes backwards in a stage of life instead of forwards. - some of this is even seen in us in college. Especially around finals; that high stress time
causes use to regress back in the stage of life.
identification
- (Stockholm syndrome) In this stage people identify with people they are scared of. Somehow,
and sometimes people will identify with the mean girl instead of going against them. There will
always be a clique, they may hate the mean person but think that as long as they do what they are
told they will be liked. In the end this doesn’t always go well.
reaction format
- sometimes you want something so much, but you can’t admit it. Sometimes with a crush
where instead of admitting it they may be mean to each other. instead of saying what they feel they say the opposite. Sometimes people may be so anti-gay that they start to appear like they are a gay person or fit under the LGBTQ+ environment. Or its someone who makes a huge deal about this and makes it seem like they are a part of this. - sometimes when someone says they love something so much they may not actually
love it. Also when people always say they hate something so much they may actually like it.
displacement
- Boss yells at man and he cannot yell back, so man then goes home and yells at wife who
doesn’t feel she can yell back, then goes to son who doesn’t feel he can yell back then goes and
yells at his pet. - often we feel we can’t yell at people so we bottle it up, then the minute we get with
a comfort person like our mom we then start yelling at her for no reason and this is displacement.
sublimation
- something that makes us uncomfortable that we don’t want to act or or do anything about.
Having and urge that we personally are uncomfortable about.
study it, research it, put it into daily activities, and sports. Take the uncomfortable urges. - usually considered a healthy and mature way of dealing with urges that may be undesirable
or unacceptable. Rather than act out in ways that could cause us or others harm, sublimation allows
us to channel that energy into things that are beneficial - Sublimation is a defense mechanism that involves channeling unwanted or unacceptable
urges into an admissible or productive outlet. For example, a woman who recently went through a
breakup may channel her emotions into a home improvement project.
- she wants us to focus on this.
the primacy of same-sex parents
they begin to change and only identify with certain things. Men wont identify with girls things and won’t even go down an aisle associated with girls. They always have to
be only ‘boys’. Girls don’t do it as much and frued says it is because they aren’t as comfortable with
themselves.
oedipal complex
where mates want to have sex with their mom. He does not think
parents should have sex with their parents, but that children want to. So children should
find a substitute for their parents to then have sex with that similar person.
electra complex
where females want to have sex with their dads or brothers. Wanting
to be in love with their dad and want to kill their mothers. (Shows that the people that
have a love hate relationship with their mother is because they believe when they find
out they don’t have a penis that their own mothers took it from them, and want to kill
their mothers). Then turn to father who has a penis to have sex with them so that they
can temporarily have a penis. Then hopefully have a child who they can then steal their
penis from. (He says that is why women knit and crochet, its a way of trying to hid a fact
that they don’t have a penis)
oral stage
we all start out at this stage. Most babies suckling on breasts for breast milk, or on
bottles for milk. Doesn’t mean sex, but Freud says they are getting sexual pleasure through their
oral cavity. They suck on things even when there is no food involved.
‣ Babies get a lot of sensory information form this and learn. The sucking of a pacifier
when with a younger baby of child who is upset sucking on this it physically clams them
down. (The reverse of sexual stimulation) Freud is wrong in so many ways he believes.
anal stage
around 12-36 months (toddlerhood). At this age kids are obsessed with all things pee
and poop. Love butt and fart humor. They are also obsessed with bloggers and snot.
‣ Freud would say that those of us who are organized when younger in this stage would
hold in our poop and not want to share it until it became so big that it was a “poop
gasm”. The other set will poop whenever or pee whenever and could do it on command.
some will become artists later because they enjoy sharing their matters with them and
playing with it, this can be true.
phallic stage
where he says gender starts to separate, and where boys will purposely go outside
to pee, pee in liter boxes, and do crazy things. He says they don’t do it out of convenience but to
seduce their mothers. They tend to think their dad is in competition with them and that their dad
will see them trying to seduce their mothers and that their fathers will try to castrate them
(castrations anxiety)
ID
basic animalistic ID, where babies just want what they want. Babies have a ability to ant
what they want and get it. (True libido impulses) part of you that works for things of pleasure.
‣ We are born with this, demands to be satisfied but is unconscious behaviors.
Ego
by around age of two they learn how to get what you want without being punished or
getting in trouble. Manipulating so that ID still get what it wants without being in trouble.
Saying you want to get something for your friend when really its for you, and you want to
convince your parents for getting it for you.
‣ The rational part of the personality. It works on reality of principles, and tries to obtain for the ID what it wants. The ego is the part that works out how to satisfy the persons
ego that develops from the age of about 18 months.
‣ The people that start targeting 1st years and give them drinks, talk to them, like them, and really just want sex out of it.
Superego
develops during the phallic stage, around 4 years of age. Works on the morality
principle, is made up of conscience given by parents and by society showing what s wrong.
the idea people have of what they should be like, given by parents and society. The ‘you
can’t have’ of the personality. Begin to tattle a lot and tell on people.
‣ The people who are much more driven; want to do everything right, wan to be perfect.
Want to drive straight towards marrying the first person they truly love. So that they can
have sex without the guilt of it.
