FREUDIAN REVOLUTION

BY DANIELLA D. BERMEJO
SIGMUND FREUD WAS AN
AUSTRIAN NEUROLOGIST AND
THE FOUNDER OF
PSYCHOANALYSIS, A CLINICAL
METHOD FOR EVALUATING AND
TREATING PATHOLOGIES SEEN AS
ORIGINATING FROM CONFLICTS
IN THE PSYCHE, THROUGH
DIALOGUE BETWEEN PATIENT
AND PSYCHOANALYST, AND THE
DISTINCTIVE THEORY OF MIND
AND HUMAN AGENCY DERIVED
FROM IT.
THE FREUDIAN
REVOLUTION WAS A
CULTURAL MOVEMENT
THAT INTRODUCED THE
IDEA THAT THE MIND
COULD BE STUDIED
OBJECTIVELY, LIKE
PHYSICAL OBJECTS.
WHAT IS PSYCHOLOGY?
PSYCHOLOGY IS THE SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF
THE MIND AND BEHAVIOR OF HUMANS AND
OTHER ANIMALS. IT INCLUDES THE STUDY OF
CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS MENTAL
PROCESSES, SUCH AS THOUGHTS, FEELINGS,
AND MOTIVES.
HE ALSO ARGUED THAT
PERSONALITY IS A PRODUCT
OF THREE CONFLICTING
ELEMENTS: ID, EGO, AND
SUPEREGO. FREUD
CONTINUED TO WORK ON
REFINING HIS THEORY AND IN
FACT TRIED TO EXPLAIN HOW
PSYCHOANALYSIS CAN BE A
CLINICAL METHOD IN
TREATING SOME MENTAL
DISORDERS.
THE ID IS THE IMPULSIVE PART OF YOUR
PERSONALITY THAT IS DRIVEN BY PLEASURE AND
REPULSED BY PAIN, THE SUPEREGO IS THE
JUDGMENTAL AND MORALLY CORRECT PART OF
YOUR PERSONALITY, AND THE EGO IS THE
CONSCIOUS PART OF YOUR PERSONALITY THAT
MEDIATES BETWEEN THE ID AND THE SUPEREGO
AND MAKES DECISIONS.
PSYCHOANALYSIS IS
THE STUDY THAT
EXPLAINS HUMAN
BEHAVIOR. IN HIS
THEORY, FREUD
EXPLAINED THAT THERE
ARE MANY CONSCIOUS
AND UNCONSCIOUS
FACTORS THAT CAN
INFLUENCE BEHAVIOR
AND EMOTIONS.
FOR EXAMPLE, MY ID MIGHT
BE SAYING, "I REALLY WANT
TO WATCH A MOVIE", BUT THE
SUPEREGO IS SAYING "NO,
YOU HAVE TO STUDY FOR
YOUR EXAMS".
THANK YOU!
