Document Summary
Chapter 16: starts with freud, need to know (cid:498)beyond freud(cid:499) A way to tap into the unconscious mind. Both dreams and hysterical symptoms are seen as symbolic manifestatiosn of repressed traumatic thoughts. What a dream appears to be is about its manifested content, and what it really is about is its latent content thus: every dream is a wish fulfillment: freud, dreams, and originality. A review of freud"s theory of personality: the id, ego, and superego, the id: is entirely unconscious and is governed by the pleasure principle. Two means of satisfying a need: reflex action + wish fulfillment. Referred to as primary processes because they provide the foundation of the entire personality: the ego: awareness of the needs of both the id and the physical world. Major job is to coordinate the two: the superego. Internalized experiences for which the child has been rewarded: life and death instincts. Libido to cover more than sex, also hunger and thirst.
