A. Freud: psychoanalytical theory
1. Sigmund Freud was the originator of psychoanalytical theory that emphasizes the importance of early childhood experiences and unconscious motivations.
2. Freud used the techniques of free association and dream interpretation to delve into the unconscious of his patients.
3. Personality is composed of 3 components:
a. Id---present from birth, consists of the basic instincts and urges that seeks immediate gratification, operates according to the pleasure principle
b. Ego--begins to develop in the first year of life, operates according to the reality principle.
c. Superego---develops from a culmination of maturation, parental identification, modeling and societal teaching. It represents social values that are incorporated into the personality of the child, and becomes the conscience.
4. Freud believed that people can relieve anxiety and conflict by using defense mechanisms, mental devices that distort reality to minimize psychic pain.

b. Anal Stage (ages 2 to 3)---source of greatest pleasure is through anal activity
c. Phallic Stage (ages 4 to 5)----……..and so on
