Sigmund Freud
Sigmund Schlomo Freud whose real name at birth was Sigismund,was born on May 6, 1856, in Freiberg, Moravia, now Pribor, in Czech Republic. The son of Jacob and Amalia(who was 20 years younger than her husband). Sigmund had seven younger brothers and sisters. His family constellation was unusual because Freud's two half-brothers, Emmanuel and Philipp, were almost the same age as his mother. Freud was slightly younger than his nephew John, Emmanuel's son. This odd situation may have triggered Freud's interest on family dynamics, leading to his ulterior formulations on the Oedipus Complex. Freud's family background was Jewish, though his father was a freethinker and Freud himself was an assured atheist. Within his home he was known as the "golden child". He was treated with the most respect in his house, one incident in particular is when he was trying to study and his sisters were playing the piano and were told to stop because they were disturbing Sigmund. As a child he would keep written descriptions of his dreams, ironically he would later write one the greatest books on psychology The Interpretation of Dreams.Sigmund Freud showed signs of independence and brilliance well before entering the University of Vienna in 1873.
Freud proposed that the ego protects itself against anxiety with ego defense mechanisms. They might continue to smoke or eat excessively to satisfy their needs for oral gratification. Boys feel unrecognized guilt for their rivalry and a fear that their father will punish them, such as by castration. At any point in the oral, anal, or phallic stages, strong conflict can lock, or fixate, the person's pleasure-seeking energies in that stage. This collection of feelings he named the "Oedipus Complex" after the Greek legend of Oedipus, who unknowingly killed his father and married his mother. It not only raises many questions but it can also answer a lot of them. Anxiety is therefore, difficult to cope with, as when we feel unsettled but have no basis for feeling that way. In 1901, he published The Psychopathogy of Everyday Life, in which he theorized "Freudian slips. By 33, The nazi party had risen to power in Germany. Displacement diverts one sexual or aggressive impulses toward a more psychologically acceptable object than the one that aroused them. " During the "oral stage," usually the first 18 months, an infant's sensual pleasure focuses on sucking,biting, and chewing. I most say that the time I've had to understand his concepts have been the most enlightening of my life. During the "anal stage," from about 18 months to 3 years, the sphincter muscles become sensitive and controllable, and bowel and bladder retention and elimination become a source of gratification. They must be controlled in logical, socially acceptable ways.
