Sigmund Freud: Psychodynamic Theory
• Behavior results from repressed memories– These repressed
memories are stored in our subconscious and result in primitive sexual/aggressive drives, thereby causing our behaviors
– Controversial! Freud’s educated guess- NO PROOF!!!

Freud’s Id, Ego, Superego•Freud identifies 3 aspects of
personality–Id: irrational and emotional, source of libido and wants
–Ego: rational, negotiates between the wants of the Id and the consequences seen by the superego
–Superego: moral center, source of rules, values and anxiety

•Freud traces adult issues back to conflict in the following critical stages of development
![Page 9: Psychology, Unit One The Evolution of Psychology](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082817/56649e0b5503460f94af2821/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Freud’s Psychosexual Stages1. Oral: 0-2, issues w/ weaning from
breast feeding, seek pleasure from the mouth (chew gum, smoke, etc)
2. Anal: 2-4, issues w/ potty training, seek pleasure from retaining or expelling feces
3. Phallic: 4-5, Electra or Oedipus issues, seek pleasure from genitals
• From here all humans go through latency and the genital phase. The fewer conflicts in the first three stages, the more “normal” the person’s behavior

•Freud’s daughter, Anna, developed the concept of defense mechanisms which are a way of protecting our psychological self.
•These are to help us cope with problems such as mental abuse or mental trauma.

More Defense Mechanisms5. Intellectualization: Thinking
about something logically without emotion.
6.Reaction Formation: Key word (reverse formation)- Turning the other cheek, doing the opposite.
7. Regression: Using a childish response like whining to deal with a problem.

From Psychodynamic to Behaviorism
•Watson and Skinner threw out Freud’s theories and said you cannot make claims w/o measurable/observable data–This means you can only study what is seen!

WatsonGive me a dozen healthy infants, well-
formed, and my own specified world to bring them up and I'll guarantee
to take any one at random and train him to become any type of specialist
I might select--doctor, lawyer, merchant-chief, and yes, even
beggarman and thief, regardless of his talents, penchants, tendencies, abilities, vocations, and race of his
ancestors." (1930)

Watson
•Babies are a blank slate (tabula rasa)
•You can condition a child to do what you want
•Desensitization is derived from his studies–Cure phobias by gradually exposing subject to what they are afraid of

Skinner and behaviorism•Elaborated on Watson’s
theories by introducing:–Positive reinforcement–Negative reinforcement
•Explains how we are conditioned to relate certain memories to songs or smells, why we are sleepy at bedtime, or hungry at lunchtime, etc…
