Freud and the Creation of Cultures.


Freud divided his theory in two big topics; the first topic refers to psychic systems; unconscious, preconscious and conscious. These phases in his work is very easy recognizing the different systems; unconscious refers to system of repress, there are all of representations incompatible with the conscious, for example traumas or awful experience of the infancy; preconscious is the system where is all of the representations with easy access, this system is very similar with the concept of memory, there the contains are save and can be remember, for example the characteristics of our parents, the name of our friends, the color of sea; finally, the conscious is the system of the representation of actions, is similar to attention, this system let the conduct and the motility. Later, Freud explains the phenomenon with the second topic, which is more specific and hard than the first topic. The second topic include the resorts, this are tree; ego, superego and id. Ego refers to “I” or “self”, the space where the person think, decide and fight against to external and internal demands. Superego corresponds to resort that suppress the ego, is the moral space which contains internal norms and rules learnt of culture. Finally, Id refers to instance where the desire, the aspiration of pleasure is. Freud tries to explain the society formation across these topics, which the animal passions are suppressed for several internal/external norms for the creation of human relationships.

  1. Hi David, how are you? I don’t like Freud, because I think that his theory is not very real. But the information that you write is very interesting. I think that my vision about Freud can change now, because I thing a few different about him now. Unconscious is a thing very very interesting

  2. I think this theory is very important for all of psychology as it manages to uncover some very important elements for understanding the behavior and adaptation of humans. Freud is a very controversial but I think that is recognized by all as a great contribution to our subject matter. I think the big problem caused Freud to people is the discovery that we do not own ourselves, or we can regulate our actions. Personally this year I learned to enjoy the psychoanalytic theory because we have, in my opinion, a very good teacher in Theories and Systems explains how good is this
