PSYCHOANALYSIS
SIGMUND FRUED
existence of three competing impulses in the psyche—the ego, id, and superego (aka. tripartite)—and the conflict inherent in child-parent relations structured human responses to the world. Freud’s personality theory (1923)
According to Freud’s psychoanalytic theory, the id is the primitive and instinctual part of the mind that contains sexual and aggressive drives and hidden memories, the super-ego operates as a moral conscience, and the ego is the realistic part that mediates between the desires of the id and the super-ego.
as a doctor/psychiatrist, he was intersted in charting how the human mind affected the body, AND finding ways to cure those mental illnesses.
as a philosopher, he was interested in the relationship between mental functioning and certain basic structures of civilization, such as incest taboos or religious beliefs.
His theories about how the mind worked, uncovered some basic universal truths about how an individual self is formed, and how culture and civilization operate.

reinterprets Freud in light of structuralist and poststructuralist theories, turning psychoanalysis from an essentially humanist philosophy or theory into a poststructuralist one
need, demand, and desire – that roughly correspond to three phases of development, or three fields in which humans develop – the Real, the Imaginary, and the Symbolic.
In terms of literary theory, psychoanalysis is a critical approach influenced by Sigmund Freud’s work on the unconscious and human behavior.
Initially, psychoanalytic literary theory consisted of applying psychoanalysis to either the author or the main character of a work, seeking unconscious or latent meaning underneath the manifest language, and analyzing the symbols contained in a given work.
Influenced by Jacques Lacan, later psychoanalytic theory focused on the unconscious and language and shared some concerns with deconstruction and poststructuralist theory.
In terms of psychology, it is a method of treating mental disorders, shaped by psychoanalytic theory, which emphasizes unconscious mental processes and is sometimes described as “depth psychology.”
The psychoanalytic movement originated in the clinical observations and formulations of Austrian psychiatrist Sigmund Freud, who coined the term psychoanalysis.
Psychoanalytic theory has been enormously influential on a number of other theories, such as reader-response and feminist theory, as well as on individual thinkers. For example, critic Harold Bloom’s theory of the struggle between “strong” and “weak” poets owes much to Freud’s Oedipus complex.
