FREUD'S PSYCHOANALYTIC Chapter 3
THEORY
,Id The primitive, PLEASURE-seeking part (according
to Freud, predominantly sexual pleasure) of our
personalities that lurks in the unconscious mind.
The IMPULSIVE part of our psyche which responds
directly and immediately to the instincts.
Engages in PRIMARY PROCESS thinking, which is
primitive, illogical, irrational, and fantasy oriented.
Ego Our sense of self. And acts as an intermediary
between the Id and the world by using ego
defense mechanisms, such as repression, denial,
and rationalization.
Engages in secondary process thinking, which is
rational, REALISTIC, and orientated towards
PROBLEM SOLVING.
Superego Assigned to those processes that Freud referred to
as our conscience (our sense of what is right or
wrong) and is greatly influenced by our parents' or
caregivers' MORALS and ETHICAL stances.
The superego's function is to control the id's
impulses, especially those which society forbids,
such as sex and aggression. It also has the function
of persuading the ego to turn to moralistic goals
rather than simply realistic ones and to strive for
perfection.

3. Love and Belonging Needs- affiliation, affection,
lover
4. Esteem- competency, achievement, esteem from
others
5. Self Actualization- becoming everything one is
capable of
6. Self Transcendent Needs - when an individual
"seeks to further a cause beyond the self and to
experience a communion beyond the boundaries
of the self through peak experiences."
