The document summarizes the psychodynamic approach developed by Sigmund Freud. It describes the key assumptions that human behavior can be explained by inner conflicts in the mind. The mind is comprised of the conscious and unconscious. Freud proposed that the mind has three parts - the id, ego, and superego. The id operates on pleasure, the superego acts as the conscience based on morality, and the ego mediates between the two. Freud also described psychosexual development stages from oral to genital that center around different erogenous zones as children develop.

Week 20 psychodynamic intro
- 1. Psychodynamic Approach 1. Do you have any phobias? Where do you think that they come from? 1. Do you remember your dreams? What did you dream about in your last dream?
- 2. Lesson Objectives By the end of the lesson you … • Must be able to describe the psychodynamic approach. • Should be able to describe components of the psychodynamic approach.
- 5. Psychodynamic Approach • The psychodynamic perspective starts with the pioneering work of Sigmund Freud. • The key assumption of the psychodynamic approach is that all human behaviour can be explained in terms of inner conflict of the mind. • The structure of the mind is the conscious and unconscious.
- 6. ID, Ego & Super Ego • ID: Responsible for our basic drives (sex, food) • Ego: mediates among the id and the super ego • Super-Ego: acts as the conscience, maintaining our sense of morality and the prohibition of taboos
- 7. The Id According to Freud, the id is the personality construct that we are born with. Its energy is called the “libido”. It operates on the pleasure principle. Need food... need drink... need comfort... need burping... need sleep... need it NOW!
- 8. The Superego The superego is the 'ideal' force, the civilised, socially acceptable figure the person strives to be. It operates on the morality principle and includes our understanding of right and wrong. It opposes the id and is essentially and internalisation of rules passed down from our parents.
- 9. The ego The ego is the reality principle. It must balance the drives of the id and the control of the superego. During toddlerhood, children come to realise that they are individuals. They recognise that they have their own desires, wants, and needs; the ego forms.
