Q

Condensation

A

several unconscious impulses are attached to one manifest dream image. Example: a man with a face made of bread playing a trumpet may be the dreamer’s fear of men consuming creative instincts…or something like that

Q

Instinct and Drive Theory

A

After developing the topographical model of the mind, Freud began to consider instinct theory. Instinct refers to a pattern of genetically derived behavior that is independent of learning. The instinct has 4 basic characteristics: the source (part of body from which instinct arises), the impetus (intensity of instinct), the aim (generally an action toward decreasing tension), and the object/target of the instinct.

Q

Structural Theory of the Mind

A

Id: unorganized instinctual drives that are part of the primary process (see above). Occurs unconsciously x
Ego: spans all three areas of the mind (conscious, preconscious, and unconscious). It is responsible for logic/abstraction (conscious), defense mechanisms (unconscious), perception, contact with reality, and delay/modification of drives (to make them socially acceptable). The ego helps to modify the id, which sometimes leads to conflict
Superego: establishes and maintains the moral conscience, based on values internalized from parents. Proscribes what a person should not do

Q

Functions of the Ego

A

Controls instinctual drives: mediates between the id and the external world and delays socially unacceptable drives

Judgment: anticipates the consequences of actions

Relation to reality: mediates between internal world and external world. Develops a sense of reality (distinguish inside body vs. outside body), reality testing (distinguish between fantasy and reality), and adaptation to reality (adapt to change)

Object relations: developing satisfying relationships stems from early interactions with parents and other early significant figures

Q

What is the point of psychosexual development stages

A

The goal is to progress through these stages linearly, confronting pathology specific to each stage, leading to resolution of conflict/pathology and moving onto the next stage in life. Failing to resolve pathology leads to incomplete passage through each stage, and the person will continue to struggle with unresolved issues from previous stages.

Q

Phallic phase goals

A

gender identity, overcome oedipal issues for organization of character

34
Q

Phallic phase pathology

A

neurosis, castration anxiety in males, penis envy in females, abnormal development of human character

35
Q

Phallic phase resolution

A

ability to maintain curiosity without embarrassment, initiation without guilt, sexual identity, regulation of drive impulses, generate superego based on identification with parent of the same sex

36
Q

Phallic phase common defense mechanisms

A

Intellectualization vs. repression

37
Q

Latency (5/6-11/13 years old) general

A

Development of the superego in the phallic stage leads to instinct control. In latency, the libido gets sublimated (directed into socially acceptable behaviors). Start to play and learn while fighting overcontrol and obsessions

38
Q

Latency goals

A

finish the work started in the phallic stage by further integrating oedipal identification and consolidating sex roles. Develop Ego and begin to master skills

39
Q

Latency pathology

A

Issues of control (like in anal stage), with problems with over-control/under-control. Overcontrol leads to closure/stunting of personality development. Under-control leads to not focusing on learning in this stage

40
Q

Latency resolution

A

integrating psychosexual development, mastering tasks/objects, becoming autonomous, and learning to take initiative

41
Q

Latency common defense mechanisms

A

sublimation

42
Q

Genital (11/13-Adulthood) general

A

Physical maturity, hormonal development, increasing drives. There is a struggle against regression and this stage may reopen all conflicts in previous stages, leading to the need to re-resolve them

43
Q

Genital phase goals

A

separate from dependence on parents, develop mature object relations, develop adult roles, and accept cultural values

44
Q

Genital phase pathology

A

reopening/reworking previous development and potential for regression; previous unsuccessful resolution leads to pathology in adulthood

45
Q

Genital phase resolution

A

reintegration and resolution of previously unresolved conflicts leads to maturation of personality and capacity for self-realization

46
Q

Erik Erikson

A

Adapted some of Freud’s theories of development to formulate a theory of development that covers the entire span of the life cycle, from infancy and childhood through old age and senescence

47
Q

Epigenetic principle

A

development occurs in sequential, clearly defined stages, and that each stage must be satisfactorily resolved for development to proceed smoothly. A virtue is associated with each stage. “If everything goes back to childhood, then everything is somebody else’s fault and taking responsibility for oneself is undermined.”

48
Q

Eriksonian stages

A

Trust vs. Mistrust (0-18 months, correlates with Oral)

Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (18 months-3 years, correlates with Anal)

Initiative vs. Guilt (3-5 years old, correlates with phallic)

Industry vs. Inferiority (5-13 years old, correlates with latency)

Identity vs. Role Confusion (13-21 years old, correlates with genital)

Intimacy vs. Isolation (21-40 years old)

Generativity vs. Stagnation (40-60 years old)

Integrity vs. Despair (60 years old until death)

49
Q

Trust vs. Mistrust

A

(0-18 months, correlates with Oral)

Starting to take in the world and learn trust based on quality maternal relationship. “Taking and holding onto things.”

50
Q

Trust vs. Mistrust defense mechanisms

A

projection and introjection

51
Q

Trust vs. Mistrust virtue

A

hope

52
Q

Trust vs. Mistrust pathology

A

schizophrenia (aggravated crisis due to failing to develop hope), depression (feeling empty, no good), addictions issues

53
Q

Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt

A

(18 months-3 years, correlates with Anal)

Developing a sense of justice and maintaining a balance between goodwill/cooperativeness and willfulness. Self-certain vs. self-conscious. Regulate the will. Will to be oneself vs. self-doubt. “Holding on and letting go.”

54
Q

Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt virtue

A

Will

55
Q

Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt pathology

A

Persecutory paranoia (stuck between trust/autonomous will and mistrust/doubt), OCPD (conflict with hold on/let go, leading to doubt > autonomy and a harsh conscience), impulsivity

56
Q

Initiative vs. Guilt

A

(3-5 years old, correlates with phallic)
Exploration, conquest, curiosity, competitive, aggressive, preoccupation with genitals. Compete with same sex parent, jealousy, and rivalry. Failure leads to guilt. Role anticipation vs. role inhibition. The superego is developed to regulate initiative. Oedipal impulse is overcome, and the child can then compete in the outside world and learn to lead an active adult life. “Being on the make.”

57
Q

Initiative vs. Guilt virtue

A

purpose

58
Q

Initiative vs. Guilt pathology

A

overcompensation for the conflict between initiative and guilt. This can cause conversion disorder, inhibition, paranoia, and psychosomatic illnesses

59
Q

Industry vs. Inferiority

A

(5-13 years old, correlates with latency) Learning new skills, pride, work ethic, and diligence. Identify with teachers. Learn to find role in society. Task identification vs. sense of futility.

60
Q

Industry vs. Inferiority virtue

A

competence

61
Q

Industry vs. Inferiority pathology

A

failure to complete previous stages leads to mistrust/pessimism, imbalance between over-control/under-control, poor development of the superego and guilt. If there is no development of trust/balance of control/creation of superego, the child will not integrate well into society. In addition, they will not learn new skills or become competent. This all leads to creative inhibition and conformity

62
Q

Identity vs. Role Confusion

A

(13-21 years old, correlates with genital) Puberty, comparing self with others and caring how others perceive them, cliques. Failure leads to identity diffusion and role confusion. Intolerance of individual differences is the way the youth wards off a sense of their own identity loss. Falling in love serves to clarify one’s sense of identity projecting your identity onto another person.

63
Q

Identity vs. Role Confusion virtue

A

fidelity, sustaining loyalties to others despite contradiction of value systems (accepting people for who they are)

64
Q

Identity vs. Role Confusion pathology

A

role confusion ensues when the person cannot formulate a sense of identity. This results in delinquency, gender-related identity disorders, and borderline psychotic episodes

65
Q

Intimacy vs. Isolation

A

(21-40 years old)

Looks at the virtue of love within a balanced identity. Intimacy is tied to fidelity, to make compromise and to self-sacrifice. Ego loss occurs while becoming closer to others; the reaction may be to become detached and self-absorbed.

66
Q

Intimacy vs. Isolation virtue

A

love

67
Q

Intimacy vs. Isolation pathology

A

isolation and detached states, including schizoid personality disorder

68
Q

Generativity vs. Stagnation

A

(40-60 years old)

Establishing and guiding the next generation, not just specifically your own offspring. Person has already learned to form intimate relationships, and this stage serves to broaden social scope to include groups, organizations and society. Importance of feeling needed. Failure of generativity leads to stagnation, escapisms (alcohol and other sexual infidelity), and mid-life crisis.

69
Q

Generativity vs. Stagnation virtue

A

care

70
Q

Generativity vs. Stagnation pathology

A

alcoholism, divorce, withering of leadership roles/destruction of companies, premature invalidism

71
Q

Integrity vs. Despair

A

(60 years old until death) Accepting responsibility for one’s own life, holding onto integrity, and a “detached yet active concern with life.”

72
Q

Integrity vs. Despair virtue

A

wisdom

73
Q

Integrity vs. Despair pathology

A

failing to attain integrity leads to becoming deeply disgusted with the external world and contemptuous of persons and institutions. Disgusts masks the fear of death and a sense of despair that “time is now too short for the attempt to start another life and try out alternate routes to integrity.”

74
Q

Pathological development

A

In both Freud and Erikson’s developmental theories one concept is central: failure to resolve conflict and mature through each stage leads to significant residual pathology. Plainly stated, if you don’t resolve the bad stuff in each stage, you will go on to the next stage with unresolved baggage and continue through life with that baggage. A person who does not resolve oral/trust/mistrust stages will have a lifelong struggle with dependence, trust, hopelessness and mental pathology. This section is not high-yield for PRITE, but it is very useful for providing good care for your patients, understanding the roots of pathology, and making a kickass bio-psycho-social-spiritual formulation for oral examinations in residency.

75
Q

Birth to 18 months (pathological development)

A

Freud: Oral stage (feeding, nutrition, needs, narcissism, object relations), trust/give/receive.

Erikson: Trust vs. Mistrust (taking and holding onto things), hope, projection.

Pathology: Impaired trust leads to mistrust.
x Separation in infancy leads to depression, hopelessness, dysthymia x Projection (defense mechanism associated with this stage) leads to social mistrust, paranoia, delusional disorders, schizoid personality disorder, and paranoid schizophrenia
x Social mistrust leads to oral dependency and substance abuse due to the feelings of emptiness and hunger
x Feeling starved and empty also leads to thrill seeking behaviors

76
Q

18 months to 3 years (pathological development)

A

Freud: Anal stage (control of sphincters), balance between over control/under control, individualization.

Erikson: Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (holding on vs. letting go), independence and the development of will.

Pathology: develops when shame and doubt dominate autonomy.
x Doubt > autonomy leads to obsessive personality
x Shame > autonomy leads to feeling dirty, delinquent behavior and paranoia about control
x Rigorous toilet training leads to excessive cleanliness and compulsions
x Over-control leads to obsessions/compulsions, willfulness and anal retention
x Under-control causes ambivalence, messiness, and sadomasochism x Mistrust (in earlier stage) plus shame and doubt leads to persecutory delusions
x Refusal to be controlled causes impulsivity

77
Q

3 to 5 years (pathological development)

A

Freud: phallic stage (issues of oedipal conflict, gender identity, penis envy/castration anxiety), identification with parents leading to the development of superego to regulate drives.

Erikson: Initiative vs. Guilt (expedition, competition with parent), conscience, purpose, child learns values and recognizes the external world, guilt secondary to drives vs. initiative.

Pathology: guilt related to impulses and desires leads to symptom formation.
x Guilt leads to anxiety disorders, phobias, sexual inhibition (due to fear of punishment)
x Punishment for impulses leads to conversion disorder due to oedipal wishes, and sexual inhibition/impotence
x Fear of not fulfilling one’s purpose leads to psychosomatic disease

78
Q

5 to 13 years (pathological development)

A

Freud: Latency stage (superego developed in phallic stage now controls/regulates desires and wishes), sexual identity, learning, mastery of skills.

Erikson: Industry vs. Inferiority (learn skills, begin to establish identity), competence, integration into society.

Pathology: development of inferiority due to problems completing goals.
x Work inhibition, feeling inadequate, compensatory drive for money/power/prestige later in adulthood at the expense of intimacy (later stages suffer due to incompletion of this stage)

79
Q

13 years to 20s (Adolescence) (pathological development)

A

Freud: Genital stage (maturation, reworking conflict), separation/independence, emphasis is on reworking unresolved issues from the previous stages.

Erikson: Identity vs. Role Confusion (puberty, ego identity), roles, fidelity to oneself.

Pathology: identity confusion.
x Loss of identity through overidentification with others and formulation of cliques
x If unable to leave the home, there may be prolonged dependence
x Role confusion leads to conduct disorder, gender identity disorder, and disruptive behavior

80
Q

20s to 40s (pathological development)

A

Freud’s last sage was the genital stage, which focused on continuing to work through previous conflict throughout adulthood. The remaining discussion on development of psychopathology will focus on Erikson.

Erikson: Intimacy vs. Isolation (maintaining identity while establishing intimacy), sacrifice/compromise, love.

Pathology: the inability to take risks, capacity to love and isolation leads to schizoid personality disorder.

81
Q

40s to 60s (pathological development)

A

Erikson: Generativity vs. Stagnation (guiding the next generation), tribal leaders, caring, newly achieved personal intimacy with social groups, knowledge and skills.

Pathology: develops when a person cannot generate of skills and share knowledge with the next generation
x Stagnation leads to “escapism” into alcohol/substances, infidelity and mid-life crisis
x Society suffers, the patient suffers, leading to depression and disappointment
x Contemplation of past failures, current problems, and losing hope for the future

82
Q

60s to End of Life (pathological development)

A

Erikson: Integrity vs. Despair (accept the life cycle and the proximity of death), healthy detachment and wisdom.

Pathology: the knowledge that time has run out, no generativity, and inability to accept life
x Declining physical health leads to anxiety, psychosomatic illness, hypochondria and depression.
x Lacking generativity and acceptance often leads to suicide
