Document Summary
Psyc 3406 lecture 3 notes psychoanalytic therapy. The structure of personality: the id the demanding child; our drives and instincts, the ego the traffic cop; mediator between the id and superego, the superego the judge; moralistic. Conscious and unconscious: conscious: what is on the surface; the logic and reasoning based in reality, unconscious: what lies deep, below the surface; our drives and instincts. The unconscious: clinical evidence for postulating the unconscious, dreams, slips of the tongue, posthypnotic suggestions, material derived from free-association and projective techniques, symbolic content of psychotic symptoms, consciousness is only a thin slice of the total mind. Identification: identify with successful areas in hope that you will be perceived as worthwhile: compensation: develop positive traits to make up for limitations. The development of personality: first year, the oral stage, trust vs. mistrust, ages 1-3, the anal stage, autonomy vs. dependence, ages 3-6, the phallic stage.
