IntroductionIntroduction
- Sigmund Freud

3. His theory of psychosexual development includes
five distinct stages. According to Freud, a person
goes through the sequence of these Five stages,
and along the way, there are needs to be met.
Whether these needs are met or not, determines
whether the person will develop a healthy
personality or not.

Freud's Personality
Components
Freud's Personality
Components

11. The ID is the most primitive and
unconscious part of the personality. It operates
based on the pleasure principle, which seeks
immediate gratification of basic desires, needs,
and impulses, without considering the
consequences.
Component: idComponent: id

12. The ego is the rational, realistic part of the
personality that develops to mediate between the
unrealistic desires of the id and the external world. It
operates based on the reality principle, which tries to
satisfy the id's desires in a socially acceptable and
practical manner.
Component: egoComponent: ego

13. The superego represents the internalized
moral standards and ideals that we acquire from
society, parents, and other influences. It
operates on the moral principle and strives for
perfection, not just pleasure or practicality.

Unconscious Mind Conscious Mind Subconscious Mind

15. The unconscious is the largest and most
significant part of the mind in Freud's model. It
contains desires, memories, experiences, and
thoughts that are not accessible to our conscious
awareness. These are often repressed because they
are considered socially unacceptable or anxiety-
provoking.
Unconscious MindUnconscious Mind

16. According to Freud, all that we are
aware of is stored in our conscious mind. The
conscious mind includes all the thoughts,
feelings, and experiences we are actively
aware of at any given moment.

17. subconscious Mindsubconscious Mind
Freud said that this is the part of us that we can
reach if prompted, but is not in our active
conscious. The preconscious or subconscious
consists of thoughts and memories that are not
currently in our conscious awareness but can easily
be brought into consciousness when needed.

the human psyche
Freud's Concept of
the human psyche
Sigmund Freud's concept of the
human psyche is often illustrated by the
iceberg metaphor. According to Freud,
much of human behavior and thought is
driven by unconscious processes that are
hidden below the surface, much like how
the majority of an iceberg is submerged
underwater and not visible.
