8. Psychoanalytic Perspective of Personality
Theory of personality that attributes thoughts and actions to unconscious motives & conflicts
Fathered by Sigmund Freud

9. Psychoanalytic Perspective of Personality
What events in Freud’s life led to his theory of psychoanalysis?
Was a doctor who specialized in nervous disorders
Met patients with disorders that made no sense
Tried to search for a cause of the disorders
Psychological v. physiological causes

11. Our mind is like an iceberg… mostly hidden
Conscious-things we are aware of
Preconscious-things we can be aware of if we think of them
Unconscious-deep, hidden reservoir that holds the true “us”; all our desires & fears

12. How do we get into the Unconscious?
Used hypnosis and free association (relax and say it all) to delve into unconscious.
Dream interpretation too!
Manifest v. Latent content
Mapped out the “mental dominoes” of the patients past in a process he called psychoanalysis. Sought to expose & interpret unconscious tensions

Please have out your notes 

14. Thin line Between the conscious and unconscious
Freudian “Slips”
These errors reveal an unconscious thought, belief or wish.
Each day, most of us make somewhere between 7 and 22 verbal slips.
Examples:
Calling your gf/bf by your ex’s name
"Our national interest ought to be to encourage…" his strong hands cupped the air, "the breast.“ Without hesitation, the master orator backed up and started again. This time it came out right: "The best and brightest.“—Senator Ted Kennedy (televised speech)

16. What’s in the Unconscious?
Ego
Superego Id

17. Personality arises from a conflict between our aggressive, pleasure-seeking biological impulses and the internalized social restraints against them.
Personality is the result of our efforts to resolve this conflict—to express these impulses in ways that bring satisfaction without also bringing guilt or punishment

18. Id Exists entirely in the unconscious (so we are never aware of it)
Our hidden true animalistic wants and desires.
Sex & Aggression
Works on the Pleasure Principle
Avoid Pain and receive Immediate Gratification.

19. Wish Fulfillment

21. Superego Our internalized morals & Ideals—what is right
Develops LAST (at about age 5)
We internalize the moral code of our society
Guilt
Irrational striving for moral perfection

22. Superego is learned, not present at birth

23. Ego The boss “executive” of the conscious. Develops after the Id
Its job is to mediate the desires of the Id and Superego.
Deals with reality--“reality principle”.
What everyone sees as our personality

24. Ego
If you want to be with someone. Your id says just take them, but your ego does not want to end up in jail. So you ask her out and treat her right 
