Sigmund Freud
(1856–1939)
(Source: https://www.biography.com/scholar/sigmund-freud)
Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist who developed psychoanalysis, a
method through which an analyst unpacks unconscious conflicts based on the free
associations, dreams and fantasies of the patient. His theories on child sexuality,
libido and the ego, among other topics, were some of the most influential academic
concepts of the 20th century.
Theories
Freud's psychoanalytic theory, inspired by his colleague Josef Breuer, posited that
neuroses had their origins in deeply traumatic experiences that had occurred in the
patient's past. He believed that the original occurrences had been forgotten and hidden
from consciousness. His treatment was to empower his patients to recall the
experience and bring it to consciousness, and in doing so, confront it both

oneself of the neurotic symptoms. Some of Freud’s most discussed theories
included:Id, ego and superego: These are the three essential parts of the human
personality. The id is the primitive, impulsive and irrational unconscious that operates solely on the outcome of pleasure or
pain and is responsible for instincts to sex and aggression. The ego is the “I” people perceive that evaluates the outside

physical and social world and makes plans accordingly. And the superego is the moral voice and conscience that guides the
ego; violating it results in feelings of guilt and anxiety.
Psychic energy: Freud postulated that the id was the basic source of psychic energy or the force that drives all
mental processes. In particular, he believed that libido, or sexual urges, was a psychic energy that drives all human
actions.
Oedipus complex: Between the ages of three and five, Freud suggested that as a normal part of the development
process all kids are sexually attracted to the parent of the opposite sex and in competition with the parent of the
same sex. The theory is named after the Greek legend of Oedipus, who killed his father so he could marry his
mother.
Dream analysis: In his book The Interpretation of Dreams, Freud believed that people dreamed for a reason: to
cope with problems the mind is struggling with subconsciously and can’t deal with consciously. Dreams were fueled
by a person’s wishes. Freud believed that by analyzing our dreams and memories, we can understand them.
Development of Science in Mesoamerica
Mesoamerica includes the entire area of Central America from Southern Mexico up to the border of South
America. There is no doubt that the Mesoamerican region is rich in culture and knowledge prior to the arrival of its
European colonizers. The Maya civilization is one of the famous civilizations that lasted for approximately 2,000 years.
The Mayans developed the technology for growing different crops and building elaborate cities using ordinary
machineries and tools. They built hydraulics system with sophisticated waterways to supply water to different
communities

(I.) Formative Assessment (10 mins)
Directions: Read the information about Sigmund Freud with his famous theory and answer the question below.
Hi, I am Sigmund Freud. I was born on May 6, 1856. I am an Austrian neurologist and the founder of
psychoanalysis.
One of my most famous theories was that of psychosexual development. Fundamentally, I postulated that as
children we move through a series of stages centered on erogenous zones. Successful completion of these stages led to the
development of a healthy personality, but fixation at any stage prevents completion and therefore the development of an
unhealthy, fixated personality as an adult. Below is the summary of my theory.
