Major Psychologists
1.Sigmund Fr____ Aus____ Born: 1856 Died: 1939
Quant______ Data (that which c__ me mea_____) and Qualitative Data (that which c____ be mea______)
Approach: Psychoanaly____
Neurologist (Study of the bra___, nerves)Psychiatrist (study of me_____ illness)
When ideas, memories, or impulses, are too overw_________ or inappropriate for the consc_____ mind to withstand, they are repr_______ and stor____ in the unconsc______ alongside our instinctual dri_____, where they are not accessible by imme_______ consciousness. The unconscious silently dir_____ the tho______ and beh_______ of the individual. The difference between our unconscious and conscious thoughts creates psychic te_______ that can only be released when repr_______ memories are allowed into consciousness through psycho_________.
Many forms of mental illness (irrational fe_____, anxi______, hysteria, imagined paralyses and pa_____, and certain types of paranoia) were the result of trau________ experiences that had occurred in the patient’s p_____ and were now hi________ away from consciousness. They can be released, brought into consciousness, through psycho___________.
“The mi____ is like an ice______; it floats with one-seventh of its bulk above water”
—Sigmund Freud
Our psyche, according to Fr____, resembles an ic______, with the area of primitive dr____, the i__, lying hid____ within the unconscious. The e___ deals with conscious thoughts and regulates both the id and the super____--our critical, judging voice. DRAW FREUD’S ICEBERG HERE
If we have thoughts we can’t handle (abuse, witnessing an accident, de_____, desires we deem unac____________, we rep______ them; they’re pushed into the unconscious. But they never go a_____. They mani_______ as unconscious be_________. Through psycho____________--telling the story, rem__________ it, bringing it into consciousness,--we can overcome it, ac_______ it, let it go.
The Id, the Ego, and the Superego
The Id (formed of prim_______ impu_____) obeys the Pleasure Princ___, which
says that every wishful imp________ must be immediately grat_______; it wants everything n____.
The E___, however, recognizes the Reality Princ____, which says we can’t have
everything we de_____, but must take account of the world we live in. The e___ negotiates with the i___, trying to find reason_______ ways to help it get what it wa_____, without resulting in damage or other consequences.
The Sup_________--The Ego is controlled by the Superego—the internalized
voice of par______ and society’s mo______ codes. The Superego is a jud_______force, and the source of our conscience, gu______, and sha______.
Fr______ said that emotional suf________ is the result of unconscious conf______. Through working through these conflicts, he sought to fr____ the patient from rep__________ memories and so alleviate their mental pa____. A psychoa_________, through perhaps many hour+ sessions, talks a patient through the process. This may takes years. The goal is to bring all the repressed memories into consciousness, to become aw_____ of them, to pro_______ them, and to then be able to deal and/or let them go.
Freud says that our d_______ are our unconscious speaking to us in symbols or co_____. He says that buildings and structures have coded meanings in dreams; stair wells, mine shafts, loc_____ doors, or a small building in a narrow recess all represent repressed se______ feelings.
A Freudian sl____ is a verbal er_____, or “slip of the tongue,” and it is said to rev_____ a repressed bel_____, thou_____, or emo______. It is an involuntary substitution of one wo____ for another that sounds similar but inadvertently reveals something the person really feels.
