of the influential in psychology.

This theory sparked the ideas in
the brilliant minds of other
theorist and thus become the
starting point of many other
theories.
' SIGMUND FREUD
1856-1939
According to Freud, a person goes
through the sequence of these five
stages along way here are needs to be
met. Whether these needs are met or
not, determines whether the person
will develop a healthy personality or
not.
' SIGMUND FREUD
1856-1939
The theory is quite interesting for
many because Freud identified
erogenous zones for each stage of
development. These are specific
“Pleasure Areas” that become focal
points for the particular stage.
' SIGMUND FREUD
1856-1939
If needs are not met along the area, a
fixation occurs. As an adult, the
person will now manifest behaviors
related to this erogenous zone.

IN SUMMARY
Freud's theory emphasizes the role of
the unconscious and the importance of
early life experiences in personality
development.
IN SUMMARY
PSYCHOANALYTIC
THEORY
Freud’s Psychoanalytic Theory focuses on the —
influence of the unconscious mind on human
behavior, the development of personality through
psychosexual stages, and the role of internal conflicts.
Freud proposed that our behavior and personality are
shaped by unconscious drives, early childhood
experiences, and the interactions between the three key
Aructures of personality: the Id (instinctual desires),
Levels of Consciousness:
Conscious: Thoughts and perceptions we are
aware of.
Preconscious: Information that is not currently
in consciousness but can be recalled (memories,
stored knowledge).
Unconscious: Repressed thoughts, desires, and
‘memories that influence behavior.
Personality Structure
Id: Operates on the pleasure principle, seeking instant ~
gratification for basic drives (hunger, sex, aggression).
Ego: Works on the reality principle, balancing the
desires of the id with the realities of the external world.
< Superego: Represents moral standards and ideals; aims
\ or perfection and punishes the ego for failing to meet
Psychosexual Stages of Development \\
Oral Stage (0-1 year): Pleasure centers on the mouth (sucking,
biting). Fixation can result in dependency or aggression.
Anal Stage (1-3 years): Pleasure focuses on controlling bladder and“
bowel movements. Fixation can lead to obsession with cleanliness or
disorderliness.
Phallic Stage (3-6 years): Focus on the genitalia. The
Oedipus/Electra complex emerges (desire for the opposite-sex
parent).
atency Stage (6-puberty): Sexual impulses are repressed, and
nergy is directed to developing social skills and friendships.
nital Stage (puberty-adulthood): Sexual reawakening; the
dual seeks mature relationships.
Defense Mechanisms OS
Repression: Pushing unacceptable thoughts into the —
unconscious.
Denial: Refusing to accept reality or facts.
Projection: Attributing one's own undesirable thoughts
or feelings onto others.
Displacement: Redirecting emotions to a safer outlet
.g., anger toward a colleague rather than a boss).
\ ublimation: Channeling unacceptable impulses into
5 tally acceptable actions.

Role of Unconscious Conflicts
Freud emphasized that unresolved conflicts,
especially from early childhood, are a driving
„ force behind neuroses and psychological distress.
Implication and
_Uses in Education
childhood experiences in shaping personality and
behavior. Educators can use this to recognize the
significance of the early learning environment,
ensuring it fosters emotional and social development.
Recognizing that unresolved childhood conflicts
can affect students’ behavior allows educators to
‚offer support, especially for children going
through difficult family or personal situations.
Emotional and Social
Growth:
Teachers can be sensitive to the emotional needs of students
by understanding their underlying unconscious motives. For
example, disruptive behavior may stem from anxiety, fear, or
unresolved conflicts, rather than simply being disobedience.
Ni reud's concept of defense mechanisms can help educators
\ identify when students are avoiding certain tasks or subjects
e to underlying insecurities or fear of failure.

Managing Classroom
behavior
Understanding that students' behavior is not always logical =
or deliberate helps teachers deal with disruptive actions
more empathetically. Freud's insights into the unconscious
can explain why some students act out in certain ways,
guiding teachers to address the root causes rather than the
urface behavior.
Teacher-Student
Relationships
Freud's idea of transference (where students may transfer
emotions from important figures in their lives onto their
teachers) can help educators understand why some students
may react to them in certain ways. A student may view a
teacher as a parent figure and behave accordingly, which
can impact the learning relationship.
