Psychoanalytic theory | Behavior | MCAT | Khan Academy

It needs like 30 min of detailed explanation

Wow, really nice explanation. I enjoyed the way you explained the concept of Id, Ego and Superego.
In the video, you said that fixation occurs when libido impulses are either over or under gratified. I want to ask, how can we decide whether libido impulse is over or under gratified? And are these fixations reversible or irreversible? (i.e are fixations curable).

Psychoanalytic theory -Theory of personality

Psychoanalytic theory was given by Sigmund Freud.Frued was not a psychologist, he was a physician more specifically a neurologist and in 1885 he went to Paris to study hypnosis with the fellow neurologists but this experience is actually what turned him towards medical psychopathology in psychiatry as we know it was actually unknown at the time Freud began his work.
"The psychoanalytic theory says that our childhood experiences and unconscious desires influence behavior ."
The key word for this theory is unconscious ,our personalities have memories beliefs urges drives and instincts that we are not always aware of and that make up this unconscious.The major driving force behind Freud's instinctual theory is a concept of libido.Libido is natural energy source that fuels the mechanisms of the mind and when this libidinal energy is stuck or fixated at various stages of psychosexual development .There's another keyword so when this fixation occurs at the psychosexual development and stages conflicts can occur that have lifelong effects so fixation at a particular stage is what predicts adult personality.
For example,if someone fixated at the oral stage which is actually the first stage in psychosexual development might have oral personality characteristics like being overly talkative or having a smoking habit when they grow up.
According to Freud's model of the psyche, the id is the primitive and instinctual part of the mind that contains sexual and aggressive drives and hidden memories, the super-ego operates as a moral conscience, and the ego is the realistic part that mediates between the desires of the id and the super-ego.
Although each part of the personality comprises unique features, they interact to form a whole, and each part makes a relative contribution to an individual's behavior.

Psychonalytical Theory:
Started by Freud, its main focus is on Unconscious, anxiety and sexual and aggression drives. Our whole personality is determined by these two drives. First five years are the most important in development of our whole personality. It talks about Oedipus Complex, Penis Envy etc. Personality composes of Id, Ego and Superego. Id is the original source of psychic energy and believes in immediate ful-fillment of its demand, it knows no reality. Superego is the social morals internalized by the child by Rewards and Punishment. Ego is the executive who controls Id, Superego as per the reality.
It is a very large theory. There have been much arguments against it but it has created immense interest in people. Now it is not given too much importance in psychology, more a part of literature.

I love your voice

I really love how explained this. What is the software that you use to draw?

what a waste of time and space. who is the 14yo chick presenting this nonsense?

Excellent!

This has always been hard for me to understand. Thank you for your clarity and thorough explanations.:)

I think the first explanation with the iceberg wasn't too clear actually, but the later example with the big armed dude gets across

this shit is so damn confusing... what is the natural source tho??

Girl your voice....it’s getting my psychosexual influences going.

watch this x1.25 speed

Was hoping for more detail on the Id, Ego, and Superego, and the interplay involved in there. This was a good overview, but I think for those of us taking the MCAT we're going to need a liiittle bit more out of this topic. This nearly 8 minute video equated to about 2-3 sentences written down.

I have learn psychoanalytic theory, it's starting is not more clear but finishing is fantabulous super video, and learn unconscious libido psychosexual,but that ice burg is not clear, thank you for video.

There are three states of mind . They are conscious mind , unconscious mind , preconscious mind . In conscious mind is aware of the right now . memories , thoughts perception and desires . You can't remember with extreme effort and soecialized help . In preconscious mind your thoughts are not actively thinking but can call to mind easily given the right trigger .

Nice explanation but I was waiting for the Psychosexual stages. I thought you are going to talk about it..

Plot twist: The patient actually still meant to say "don't give me any bills".

Doctor dont give me Bills.. (Pills) 👍👍👍👍

I. Believe actions always over come.emotions..... . Nature give me... Physical body... Its also has. Some. Value.. I think. More then.. Emotions.. . Thats why.. yoga is invented may be... It over comes ur thinking... We stretch and move body..

I think. This whole. Universe is. Tip. Of an iceberg...

Gorillas!

conSHEE-ENCE

Really helping me as I study now.

Funny that almost everything is correlated, such as physician and some mathematics guys with psychology. Can't imagine if any computer guys stuck, like, "What about an AI's Psyche ...".

Too much going on in your mouth... Oral fixation at its best.

i like it - farah

How can I reference this video in terms of author etc?

thanks a lot

The psychosexual stages is pure garbage but most of the rest of the theory is useful! I’m a psych prof.

Thank you for your precious time

I learned so much from this.....❤❤

Psychiatry was know as a medical field long before Freud. In Freud’s writings he mentions psychiatric hospitals and their “treatments” which included water therapy etc. His discoveries changed medical diagnosis and treatment of psychopathology since.
