Should I eat a bacon-double What would Id say? cheese burger? Yes. It is yummy and I am hungry. What would Superego say? No. It is bad for my health. It is not an ecologically sustainable way to eat. How would Ego resolve conflict? Use defense mechanism (rationalization) to satisfy id and superego. Well, just this one time won t hurt. I m in a big hurry and wouldn t it be worse if I had a sensible meal and then had to speed to get to my meeting on time?
How are the id, ego, and superego at work (or not)? Pastor Ted Haggard was the leader of America's largest evangelical Christian association, the founder and pastor of one of America's most famous mega-churches, a campaigner for "family values" and a vocal opponent of gay marriage legislation. Then a male prostitute came forward and claimed that Haggard had paid him for services and meth. Haggard admitted to having paid for a massage and said that he threw the drugs away.

Freud s theory Unresolved conflicts can lead to anxiety Objective anxiety Neurotic anxiety Moral anxiety These are the warning bells!
Anxieties Objective anxiety Fear of tangible dangers (fire, wild animals, etc.) Bad when carried to extreme Neurotic anxiety Fear of punishment for expressing id-dominated behavior Not afraid of instinct; afraid of punishment Moral anxiety Conflict between id and superego Often leads to shame and guilt

Freud s theory Personality development Develops through childhood Series of psycho-sexual stages Different part of body becomes primary focus of pleasure Failure to resolve conflict can lead to fixation
Oral stage Birth to 18 months Mouth is center of pleasure Problems could arise if weaned from breast or bottle too soon or too late Adult issues (if unresolved) Smoking Over eating Talking too much
Anal stage Ages two to three Toilet training (anus) is center of pleasure Problems could arise if too soon or too late Adult issues (if unresolved) Anal retentive Stingy and neat Anal aggressive Disorganized or impulsive
Anal stage
Phallic stage Ages three to six Genitalia is center of pleasure Different for boys and girls Unresolved conflicts lead to relationship issues as adults
Phallic stage Boys Sexual feelings for mother Unconsciously wants to get rid of father Oedipus complex Ego represses desires Boy strives to be like father
Phallic stage Girls Strong feelings for mother Realizes she has no penis Penis envy Transfers feelings to father Electra complex Ego represses desires Girl strives to be like mother
Age six until puberty Sexual impulses dormant Latency stage Child focuses on education & other issues Social skills develop Children generally play with same sex children
