 SIGMUND FREUD

founder of psychoanalysis, a clinical
method for evaluating and treating
pathologies in the psyche through
dialogue between a patient and a
psychoanalyst. Freud was born to
Galician Jewish parents in the Moravian
town of Freiberg, in the Austrian Empire.

 SIGMUND FREUD

The Id, which works on the pleasure principle, is

the seat of our, passion, desires and other
instinctual drives. Like our bodily needs, want
and impulses.
(Example: Our sexual and aggressive drives)

Mr. John Bernard Capa

 SIGMUND FREUD

The Ego seeks to please the Id drives in realistic

way. It is also the ego that regulates our action.

(Example: We can resist the urge of stealing

money from others, but instead we work to
earn money.)

He attests that experiences are rooted in the
ground plan of the body.

He expounded on the role of the bodily organs that

are important, particularly in the early stages of
development of a person's life.

Later in life physical development and intellectual

capacity help determine if the person will acquire a
sense of competence and select demanding roles in
the complex society.

faster and stronger are more capable of learning
complex skills.

experiences.
