Document Summary
Adaptive traits end up being more common. Women- parental investment, breast feeding- women value economic security more because of times of stress (pregnancy,) Men- paternity certainty- can never be certain if the child is theirs (increases their mate guarding tendencies) Successes: 1900 the interpretation of dreams, psychotherapy, free association (say what comes to mind), dream analysis (latent-deep vs manifest-visible content) Was a doctor/psychiatrist but saw himself as a scientist (self-analysis was the data) Seduction theory- anyone who suffers from a mental illness in adulthood must have. Series of academic break-ups been sexually abused as a child. 3 actors: id (drives for sex and aggression, never in touch directly), ego (tries to create balance), superego (all internalized expectations of us from society) Eg forgetting (freud says forgetting is not accidental- nothing you do is an accident) Slips: unintended actions caused by leakage of suppressed thoughts or impulses. Focus on where the psychic energy (fixed, finite) is and how it is used.
