PSYB30H3 Lecture Notes - Freudian Slip, Anna Freud, Ego Psychology
Document Summary
According to attachment theory: we form emotional bonds with our caregivers, which become mental representations, called internal working models, of all future intimate relationships. These ideas of relationship styles and of transference (loving someone like your parents)come from sigmund freud. Freud defined psychoanalysis as a theory of personality, a method for investigating unconscious processes, and a technique of treatment. Freuds ideas and terminology are an important part of the history of psychology as well as the greater culture. Background (instincts: the connection between mind and body) Just as the body used energy to carry out its bodily functions of breathing, blood circulation, muscular and glandular actibity, he reasoned that there had to be a similary of energy for the mind. He called this energy psychic energy and believed that psychic energy fuled the functions of the mind including thinking, imagining and remembering. Freud argued that energy within the mind-body system must also be conserved.
