5. Sigmund Freud : German:
born Sigismund Schlomo
Freud; 6 May 1856 – 23
September 1939) was an
Austrian neurologist and
the founder
of psychoanalysis

7.  Refers both to a theory of how
the mind works and a treatment
modality.
 As a treatment method, it helps
people understand themselves,
their relationships, and how they
behave in the world.

8. Is based on the idea that we
are commonly motivated to
act by impulses that we
don’t recognize because
they originate in our
unconscious.

9.  These unconscious conflicts
can create negative feelings –
emotions such as
unhappiness, anxiety, or
depression – which can be
expressed in many ways,
including self-destructive
behavior, or difficulties with
peersonal relationships or
work.

10. According to Sigmund
Freud unconscious is the
key to understanding
our personality and our
personality has three
structures:

11. It is the person’s drives
and insticts; it operates
on “pleasure principle”.
The ID says “I want it
now”

12.  Operates on “moral
principle”: it strives for
perfection and not pleasure;
decides what is right or
wrong.
 The superego says “Nice
people don’t do that”

13. Operates on “ reality
principle”, Resolves the
conflict between Id and
Superego.
The ego says “ Maybe I can
find a compromise”

22.  The structures of personality
can be compared to an iceberg
where the conscious ( Ego and
Superego) can be seen mostly
but the larger part of the
personality or unconscious
(Id) is hidden under.

23. When the ego cannot
manage or resolve the
conflict between the Id
and the superego, the
person would use
defense mechanisms to
deal with problems in
life or to avoid pain.

24.  Is a coping technique that lessens
anxiety or pain due to unacceptable
or potentially harmful impulses.
 The use of defense mechanisms is
unconscious done and is most often
learned behaviors, most of which we
learned during childhood.

25.  1. RATIONALIZATION - is a
defense mechanism that involves
the justification of an
unacceptable behavior, thought
or feeling in a logical manner,
avoiding the true reason for the
action. This defensive maneuver
is often called “making excuses.”

29. Rather than deal with the
painful associated
emotions, a person distance
oneself from impulse,
event, or behavior by using
reasoning to block
emotional distress.

31. Converting of unwanted
or dangerous thoughts,
feelings or impulses in
to their opposites.

33. Performing an extreme
behavior in order to
express thoughts, feelings
the person feels incapable
of otherwise expressing.

35.  This refers to the maturation
of a person’s desired thoughts
or feelings or impulses onto
the person who does not have
thoughts, feelings or
impulses.

39. A person loses track time
and/or person, and instead
finds another
representation of their self
in order to continue in the
moment

42.  This is a lesser form of
dissociation, wherein parts of
oneself are separated from
awareness of other parts and
behaving as if one had
separate sets of values.

44. Negative feelings
or thoughts are
displaced or
directed to safer
target.

50. Seeking the security
of an earlier
developmental stage.

53. Diverting an
unacceptable
impulse to socially

56. The process of

problem.

61. Everything in the
world is seen as all
bad with nothing in
between.

62. Focusing on funny aspects
of a painful situation
because one would not like
to face the real problem or
the pain involved if one
will face the problem.

63. Handling your
own pain by
helping others.

64. Ego refuses to
acknowledge
anxiety-provoking
situations.
