Document Summary

When we see our worldview represented by others, it strengthens how we feel. Freudian theory: famously developed the phrase penis envy , stave theory of psychosexual development. Development similar for boys and girls until phallic stage: stage 3 of development: phallic. Electra complex in girls: boys have an unconscious desire to kill their father to marry their mother. Boys worry that their father will castrate them. Fear motivates boys to over-identify with their father. Internalize values, beliefs, and ethics of society through their father. Development of in-tact conscience: girls have an unconscious attraction to their father and desire to be impregnated. Realize they do not have a penis, assume the mother cut off their own penis. As jealousy can never be resolved, girls never internalize values from their mothers. Weak superego: girls have 3 traits. Lack superego: criticisms of psychoanalytic theory. Assumes that men are the control group. Cannot be tested: why is freud still relevant.
