7

• Born in Austria 1856. He was a medical doctor who
  specialized in neurology.

• To Freud, much of the mind is unconscious as
  opposed to conscious.

9

• He believed that even the smallest behaviors have
  special significance. Each behavior has an
  unconscious reason for occurring.

10

• To Freud, the unconscious mind is the key to all
  human behavior.

11

• Freud is known as a psychoanalytic theorist.
  These people feel that we have to look at why
  they behave the way they do instead of just
  looking at their actions.

12

• Sigmund Freud believed that personality has three
  structures.
• These are the id, ego and superego.

13

• The id wants what it wants right now. It seeks
  pleasure and avoids pain. This is also known as
  the pleasure principle.

14

• The ego deals with reality. This is based on
  rationality, reasoning, problem solving, and
  decision making. The ego tries to make seeking
  individual pleasure conform to society. This is
  known as the reality principle.

15

• The superego is the moral branch of personality.
  It does not deal with reality, simply what is
  right or wrong.
