Sigmund Freud: Freud developed the psychoanalytic theory of personality development, which argued that personality is formed through conflicts among three fundamental structures of the human mind: the id, ego, and superego.

2. SIGMUND FREUD
(born May 6, 1856, Freiberg, Moravia,
Austrian Empire [now Příbor, Czech
Republic]—died September 23, 1939,
London, England),
Austrian neurologist and the founder of
psychoanalysis.

3. Freud developed the psychoanalytic theory of
personality development, which argued that
personality is formed through conflicts among
three fundamental structures of the human
mind: the id, ego, and superego.

4. Conflicts among these three
structures, and our efforts to find
balance among what each of them
“desires,” determines how we
behave and approach the world.

5. What balance we strike in any given
situation determines how we will
resolve the conflict between two
overarching behavioral tendencies:
our biological aggressive and
pleasure-seeking drives vs. our
socialized internal control over
those drives.

6. THREE FUNDAMENTAL STRUCTURES OF
THE HUMAN MIND:
The Id
The id, the most
primitive of the three
structures, is concerned
with instant gratification
of basic physical needs
and urges. It operates
entirely unconsciously
(outside of conscious
thought)
The Superego
The superego is concerned
with social rules and
morals—similar to what
many people call their ”
conscience ” or their “moral
compass.”
It develops as a child learns
what their culture
considers right and wrong.
The Ego
considered to be the
“self,” and its job is
to balance the
demands of the id
and superego in the
practical context of
reality.

8. PSYCHOSEXUAL STAGES
OF DEVELOPMENT
Freud believed that the
nature of the conflicts
among the id, ego, and
superego change over time
as a person grows from
child to adult.

9. He called his idea the psychosexual
theory of development, with each
psychosexual stage directly related to
a different physical center of pleasure.
Specifically, he maintained that
these conflicts progress through a
series of five basic stages, each
with a different focus: oral, anal,
phallic, latency, and genital.

10. FIVE BASIC STAGES OF
DEVELOPMENT
ORAL, ANAL,
PHALLIC, LATENCY,
AND GENITAL.

11. THE ORAL STAGE
Age Range: Birth to 1 Year
During the oral stage, the infant's primary source of
interaction occurs through the mouth, so the rooting
and sucking reflex is especially important. The
mouth is vital for eating, and the infant derives
pleasure from oral stimulation through gratifying
activities such as tasting and sucking.

12. THE ANAL STAGE
Age Range: 1 to 3 years
During the anal stage, Freud believed that
the primary focus of the libido was on
controlling bladder and bowel
movements. The major conflict at this
stage is toilet training—the child has to
learn to control their bodily needs.

13. THE PHALLIC STAGE
Age Range: 3 to 6 Years
Freud suggested that during the
phallic stage, the primary focus of
the libido is on the genitals. At this
age, children also begin to discover
the differences between males and
females.

14. THE LATENCY
STAGE
Age Range: 6 to Puberty
During this stage, the superego
continues to develop while the
id's energies are suppressed.
Children develop social skills,
values and relationships with
peers and adults outside of the
family.

15. THE GENETAL STAGE
Age Range:
Puberty to Death
The onset of puberty causes the libido to
become active once again. During the final
stage of psychosexual development, the
individual develops a strong sexual interest in
the opposite sex. This stage begins during
puberty but last throughout the rest of a
person's life.
