Identification

According to Freud, as children develop, there comes a time in which the child must adopt the characteristics of one of the parents. During this process of identification, the child adopts the characteristics of the same-sex parent and begins to associate themselves with and copy the behavior of significant others.

Projection

Disguising ones own threatening impulses by attributing them to others

Fixate

For example, if a person does not get through the oral stage of development properly, then Freud would say that the person is fixated in the oral stage and will continue to seek oral pleasures, and will not be able to progress to the next stage of development until the oral issues are resolved.

Pyschosexual stages

Freud believed there to be five stages of psychosexual development: Oral, Anal, Phallic, Latent and Genital. At each of these stages, pleasure is focused on a particular part of the body. Too much or too little pleasure in any one of these stages caused a fixation which would lead to personality or psychological disorders.

Repression

Fried believed that repression was the basic mechanism that banishes anxiety arousing impulses and enables other defense mechanism

Denial

Refusing to believe or even perceive painful realities

Latency

Latency is the fourth stage in Freud's Psychosexual theory of development, and it occurs from about age 5 or 6 to puberty. During the latency stage, a child's sexual impulses are repressed. The reason for this is that during the stage before latency (phallic stage) the child resolves the Oedipus or Electra Complex which are such traumatic events that the child then repress all of his or her sexual impulses

Rationalization

Offering self justifying explanations in place of real more threatening unconscious reasons for ones actions

Pyschosexual stages

Old angry prisoners like grapes

Phallic

One of Freud's five psychosexual stages of development where pleasure is centered around the genital region. The phallic stage is the third stage of development and usually is between ages 3 and 7. It is this stage where the child learns that there is a difference between males and females.

Oral

One of Freud's five psychosexual stages of development where pleasure is centered in and around the mouth. The oral stage is the initial stage of development. According to Freud, this is when infants will be found putting anything into their mouth including their thumbs.

Reaction formation

Repressing angry feelings, a person displays exaggerated friendliness

Regression

Retreating to a more infantile psychosexual stage where some psychic energy remains fixated.

Displacement

Shifting sexual or aggressive impulses toward a more acceptable or less threatening object or person

Reaction formation

Switching unacceptable impulses into their opposites

Anal

The anal stage is one of the stages in Freud's psychosexual theory of development, which occurs in the second year of life. During this stage, the anus becomes the focus of sexual gratification. This occurs because the child finds sexual pleasure in the sensations that come with having or withholding bowel movements.

Genital

The genital stage is the final stage in Freud's theory of psychosexual development and begins in puberty. During this stage, the teenager has overcome latency, made associations with one gender or the other, and now seeks out pleasure through sexual contact with others. The sexual contact sought has shifted from the opposite sex parent of the phallic stage (and overcoming this), and is now focused on opposite sex people of similar age.

Sublimation

Transferring of unacceptable impulses into socially valued motives

Repression

attempt made by an individual to repel one's own desires and impulses toward pleasurable instincts by excluding the desire from one's consciousness and holding or subduing it in the unconscious.

Defense mechanism

defense mechanism is a way for the mind to protect us from being consciously aware of thoughts or feelings that are too difficult to tolerate

Oedipus complex

during the phallic stage and is a conflict in which the boy wishes to possess his mother sexually and perceives his father to be a rival
