Sigmund Freud developed a few of the main significant theories in modern psychoanalysis and psychology (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). Freud divisions of the mind into the conscious and unconscious factors have motivated research on the brain into certain directions, and his contributions expand into the field of neuroscience also (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). Freud pioneered new levels of abstraction in human thought by exploring the underlying motivations of our behaviors (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). Prior to lunging into an introduction to Freud’s thoughts on personality development, some concepts have to be elucidated. Freud contributed a great deal to personality theory and his examination of the unconscious (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013).The unconscious, in turn, has two distinct degrees of psychological life that are used to assign both a process and a place (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). The unconscious holds all those drives, instincts, or urges that are past our consciousness but that nonetheless, inspires the majority of our actions, feelings, and words (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). Even though we can be aware of our obvious behaviors, we frequently understand that she is attracted to a man but cannot totally comprehend every reason for the attraction, some of which can still appear illogical (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). Freud believed that the unconscious and conscious mind can be verified only indirectly (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). Again, Freud believed the unconscious is the clarification for the significance behind dreams, specific types of not remembering, and slips of the tongue, called repression (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). Freud believed that dreams serve as an exceptionally abundant source of unconscious material (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). Freud felt that experiences in formative years could emerge in adult dreams although the dreamer has no conscious memory of these experiences (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). Unconscious processes frequently penetrate into consciousness but only after being distorted or disguised to escape restriction (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). Freud used the example of a guardian obstructing the way between the preconscious and unconscious and stopping unwanted apprehension-producing recollections from entering awareness (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). To go into the conscious level of the psyche, the unconscious picture initially should be adequately camouflaged to move past the “primary censor” and then avoid a “final censor” that observes the passage between the conscious and preconscious (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). When these recollections go into our conscious psyche, we will not identify them, yet in its place we look at them as nonthreatening, enjoyable experiences (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). Generally, these images have vigorous aggressive motifs or sexual, as aggressive and sexual conducts are often suppressed (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). Suppression and Punishment frequently produce emotions of apprehension and the apprehension in turn arouses repression, namely, the compelling of undesired experiences into the unconscious as protection against the hurt of that apprehension (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). The main primitive part of the psyche according to Freud, was the “it” which is each time interpreted as “id.” The next category was the “I,” interpreted as “ego” and the final category was the “over-I,” which is known as “superego” (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). They interrelate with each level of psychological life. As a result, the ego moves toward a number of levels such as the preconscious, conscious, and unconscious elements, where the “superego” is both unconscious and preconscious and the “id” is totally unaware (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). The id has no communication with reality. Still it struggles continually to decrease anxiety by meeting essential desires (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). Since its main function is to look for pleasure, so the “id” serves the “pleasure principle” (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). For example, a newborn baby is the embodiment of an “id” imaginative with limitations of “ego and superego” (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). The baby looks for satisfaction of needs with no consideration for what is possible (namely, demands of the ego) or what is right (namely, limits of the superego) (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). To review the primitive, unorganized, illogical, amoral, unchangeable, chaotic inaccessible, to consciousness, and satiated with energy obtained from essential urges and released for the contentment of the “pleasure principle” (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). The “ego” is the only area of the psyche in communication with reality (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). It develops out of the id throughout childhood and becomes an individuals’ main source of contact with the outer world (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). It is ruled by the reality principle, which attempts to alternate for the pleasure principle of the id (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). Because the main area of the mind is in communication with the world around it, the ego turns into the executive branch the decision-making of personality (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). Nevertheless, since it is partially aware, partially preconscious, and partially unaware, the “ego” could make choices on every level (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). While performing its intellectual and cognitive operations, the “ego” should take into deliberation the irreconcilable yet uniformly impractical requests of the “id and the superego” (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). Furthermore, Freud initially explained more on the concept of “defense mechanism” (Fiest, Fiest, & Roberts 2013). Even though, “defense mechanisms” are mainstream and commonly utilize, once taken to the extreme they lead to neurotic, compulsive, and repetitive conduct (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). The main defense mechanisms recognized by Freud comprise introjections, sublimation, projection, regression, fixation displacement, reaction formation, and repression (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). The main essential “defense mechanism,” is repression (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). When the “ego” is intimidated through unwanted “id” desires, it defends itself with repressing those desires, namely, it compels intimidating emotions in the unconscious (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). In some cases the repression continues for a life span (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). For instance, a young boy can forever repress his antagonism for a younger sister because her evil emotions produced too much apprehension (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). I knew a woman who used this defense mechanism repression to protect her mind. She was raped several years ago and she said the way she dealt with what happen was to not talk about it, because she said if she dwelled on it she would probably kill herself. However, Freud’s method is just one among several kinds of psychotherapy used in psychiatry. Numerous objections have been brought against conventional psychoanalysis, for its practical inflexibility and for its lack of hypothetical severity. Many modern psychologists have stated that conventional psychoanalysis depended too much on vagueness for its information, like free associations and dreams, with no empirical proof. Freud’s theory frequently appeared to be weak and in the end failed to implement principles for treatment. In conclusion, Freud’s theories of personality development concentrates on how our natural psychic urges adapt due to societal rules. Freud accentuated how events in early childhood ordered our behavior later in life. Adult development was not Freud’s concentration and he refused hierarchal models of personality development because they unjustly inflicted societal norms on the person.
