PSYA01H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Epiphenomenon, Schadenfreude, Behavioralism
Document Summary
Slide 11: freud made an impact on psychology by not focusing on the science models. He was a doctor and used a medical model- they use symptoms to understand the cause of a medical problem, so that the doctor can attack the core of the problem. Freud says there are internal drive that pushes you to do something, but they can be quickly satisfied (ex being cold, you put on a jacket). There are some though that cannot be satisfied in the public (ex, when you want to hurt someone, if you want to have sex), so you try to be the appropriate person who avoids sex and aggression. He was unaware of the cause, or was even actively unaware by avoiding and denying that he was aware. In order for him to accept that he realizes, the therapist has to slowly dig into his mind, not immediately tell him that he knew)
