1. Psychoanalytic: Describes that classic Freudian perspective of
psychology
2. Psychodynamic: Describes the altered version of Freudian
perspective, fo- cused around the study of dynamic unconscious
mental processes
- Focus more on cognitive and interpersonal aspects rather then
biological and physiological drives of psychoanalytic.
3.4 Postulates of Psychodynamic Theory: 1) The Unconscious - much of
mental life is unconscious
2) Psychodynamics - Mental processes operate in parallel with one
another
3) Ego Development - Develops by becoming more socially mature
4) Object Relations Theory - Mental representations of self and
others form in childhood; guides person later in social motivations
and relationships
4. Stages of psychosexual development: 1) Oral Stage: 1st year
2) Anal: 1-3; retention/emotion, involving regular cycles of tension on
buildup and release
3) Phalic: 3-5; Oedipus (castration anxiety and development of the

, upset psychic balance
5. Dual-instinct theory: (Psychoanalysis) There are two instincts that
produce physical energy.
6. 1) Life instinct: (Ergo) drives people towards the
preservation/reproduction of the organism (Libido refers to the energy
associated with the life instinct)
7.2) Death instinct: Thanatos) desire of the organism to dire or return to
in organic state
8. The "wish" model: (contemporary Psychoanalysis) replaces sex and
aggres- sion as physiological drives as psychological wishes. Instead
sex and aggression are byproducts, or means, to maintain a balance.
- Present state vs. Ideal State: aggression can move present state
towards ideal state
9. Freudian unconscious: Rejected the idea that consciousness is the
majority of mental life. He thought the unconscious is to be the
majority of mental life.
- Thought unconscious can be revealed though dreaming,
hypnosis, slip-of-the-tongue.
- It is the storehouse of inaccessible instinctual impulses, repressed
experiences, childhood memories, and strong but unfulfilled wishes
and desires
