2015 Personality Lecture 08: Depth Psychology: Sigmund Freud (Part 1)

Sigmund Freud was the great synthesizer and advocate of the ideas of the unconscious. He gave motivational factors such as lust and aggression primary places in the human psyche, and helped give clear formulation to the idea that the human psyche was made up of oft-conflicting subpersonalities. Furthermore, he was a clear observer of the pathology of the too-close, dependent family, and a great observer of and guide to dreams. For all these reasons, academic psychologists tend to hate and denigrate his achievements.

Thank you, Dr. Peterson, for making your lectures accessible to the general population! The information you share and the propositions you put forth feed my curiosity. Listening to you feels like exploration.

[@brucetharp7610]

This is the absolute best lecture on basic Freud I have ever watched and I am a psychoanalyst.

[@brucetharp7610]

@James Dean: As you may know, psychoanalysis has been heavily marginalized in today's mental health system. For this reason, I am always curious how the profession is presented in undergraduate psychology courses or within the university system altogether. Traditionally, psychoanalysis has been taught in free-standing institutes that are ideally accredited by the IPA. It is obvious to me the Dr. Peterson has surfed through the 24 volume Standard-Edition of Freud's works as well as a number of other psychoanalytic authors and theories. I personally consider Dr. Peterson to qualify as an intellectual-historian. His extemporaneous and spontaneous style of presenting is very telling. He is extremely well read.

[@gonzothegreat1317]

Freud was a fraud. Psychoanalysis is pseudoscience at best.

Summary: 1- Freud was the first person to say a lot of things that we take for granted today 2- Mental disorders have a sociological element The culture battles against the individual (superego x id) and the battle between the individual and the culture is going to take forms that differentiate between cultures (brief comment: the cultures are different so they have a different impact on people; and people are different as well, so each person is going to have a unique battle) 3 - Sex; sexual diseases; birth control pill 10:00 4 - Book suggestion: The discovery of the unconscious (Jordan says it is the best introduction to the psychoanalitic thought) 5 - People lived on about a dollar a day at 19th century 6 - Freud was very influenced by Nietzche 7 - We take a lot of things for granted nowadays, like: People don’t always say what they mean. Their speech and their actions are influenced by factors that they are not necessarely conscious of. Passions, dreams and mental illnesses are manifestations of the unconscious 8 - Freud’s ideas were rapidly integrated into the culture (in despite of the resistance that really existed and exists) That is why people talk so much about his erros. Everything that he was right about was integrated into the culture and is now taken for granted, so the only things left “about him” are his erros 9 - Sublimation 10 - Educated man will marry uneducated woman, but educated woman won’t marry uneducated man. Woman look for someone who is at least as competent as they are or even more competente 20:00 11 - The superego (Society) vs the id: jail analogy The more authoritarian the Society is, the bigger is the struggle between the individual (attempting to be an individual) and the culture (attempting to turn him into an absolutely predictable machine) Very related to number 2 12 - Freud viewed the primary conflict in mental life as the ego tortured by the id (biological forces), but also inhibited and repressed by the superego 13 - Piaget: The fundamental conflict within people isn’t necessarely social vs the individual. The fundamental conflict is between motivational systems and then between their expression across time within the individual and then between their expression across time within the individual in relationship to all other individuals and to society (So it is more like a complex problem that could be solved by a civilized game than a massive force, that being superego, crushing the individual into submission) 14 - Neurotic people 15 - People on the bottom of dominance hierarchy are much more likely to consider the spirit of the structure as an authoritarian and repressive spirit, because it isn’t making room for you 16 - Industrial Revolution 17 - Superego x id and school system; ADHD; Jaak Panksepp and rats 18 - Hypothesis test and hypothesis generation 30:00 19 - Freud’s hypothesis generation 20 - Behaviorism and ethology; Skinner; Frans de Waal 21 - You have twice as many female ancestors as you do male ancestors 22 - Freud, Jung and other clinicians are basically ethologists. They are studying human beings at their relatively natural environment and trying to figure out how they work 23 - Clinical practice vs lab work 40:00 24 - Reason, emotion and motivation 25 - After Freud we understood that we are not driven mostly by rationality. This is a BIG discovery. “Little rational guy” analogy (43:10) 26 - The rational intelect is not the fundamental element of people’s being 27 - Darwin 50:00 28 - Terror management theory 29 - Free association The importance of talking (52:30) 30 - Explainning a movie to a friend 31 - Fighting with someone you love 32 - Epigenetics 1:00:00 33 - We can represent ideas in symbolic forms 34 - Dreams 35 - The unconscious; when someone is mad 36 - People who don’t end bad relationships 37 - Ego vs id and the “I wish I didn’t say that when I was angry” 38 - Voluntarily inaccessible memories and the unconscious 1:10:00 39 - Unconscious and new ideas (brainstorm) 40 - Unconscious and myths; Jung

You will need to realize this infinitely bad side of the human experience Evil. We are not able to control it because it has been influencing us since the beginning of our "Awakening" into the awareness of Evil. That force has taken over the single entity of 'Death' and it never sleeps. It knows our entire existence from our first experience of Evil and understands our psychological needs and desires while pushing/pulling us to the void. It will NEVER EVER LET THE HYPER INTELLIGENT/OBSERVANT TEACH US TO THE LEVELS THAT JP PRESENTS!

I've followed Prof. Peterson for 4+ years now but was directed recently to later episodes in this academic series, I guess, because KZbin recognized I was a devotee of Russian literature so, after watching those, I began at the beginning. In this segment I feel that he really inhabits the material. He is discussing Freud extemporaneously, following his notes, in a fashion that truly expresses what his mind knows. It's primal and pure.

One of my favorites of his lectures. The idea that we can be precisely scientific and objective with what's going on in people's heads seems a bit far fetched, so the best you're going to get is a tool to help you chisel at the edges, and that's what Freud and Jung offered. Both of them had ideas that still apply today.

He was looking rough here, he looks 200x more healthier now things are getting better in his life. I'm grateful for all this content. I didn't get to go to his show this year due to work bs. But thank you, I wouldn't of stayed alive and taken my own life through drugs&suicidal thoughts. Tried justification of my own self destruction. Then I destroyed those thoughts, which freed me from those chains. I have some chains to break but I'm getting there. It wouldn't have been possible without this man's chicken soup while I was extremely sick. Thank you Dr. Peterson

[@nefwaenre]

This was incredibly self reflectional. Since the Piaget lecture, i've been constantly self reflecting thanks to Professor. But this directly speaks to mental illness and as someone who has to take heavy anti psychotics due to suicidal tendencies, all i ACTUALLY want is someone to talk to. Someone who would listen and the problems would then go away.

[@aresp2707]

You would also be correct. I believe that pills can sometimes help people, by "masking" what is "actually" going on inside of them. But by no means, could that ever fix them. When I started listening to Dr. Peterson, I also found out about Dr. Jung. Listening to things from Dr. Jung just made sense to me. I think that so much from him was swept under the rug. Because he didn't fit the "pill model" that is pushed upon everyone today. Dr. Jung was once considered to have went crazy, but he also fixed himself. And was also able to do the same for his patients. By listening to them, and then helping them to make sense of what was going on inside of them. From what I understand, and relate to about him... He was truly an amazing person and blessing to the field of psychology. His personality type, as far as I'm concerned. Was also specifically designed for psychoanalysis. I share that same type, and have been naturally drawn to studying people's thinking, behavior, and their well being... Ever since I was a small child or knew that psychology even existed. That personality type is not called "The Counselor" for nothing. I'm not saying that everyone with this type is guaranteed to be good at it, or that other types couldn't be. But I do believe that people with certain personality types are better suited and probably prefer certain fields over others, based on their type.

[@nefwaenre]

@@aresp2707 Firstly, thank you so much for taking your time to write such a detailed reply. Was not expecting this at all. :) Ah so that is the counsellor personality? You have an amazing gift, as this means you 'listen' to people and listen well, and truth be told, that's mostly what we (atleast i) want desperately. Pills may help during anxiety attack or extreme distress situations, but really, life has come to such a point, no medicine would work. i listen to professor every night (i get a little over 1 and half hr at night to eat and everything) and reflect on my thoughts, how i faced the day, etc and it helps me tremendously. Sometimes i write them in a comment or write on an online journal to help. i don't think i can grasp Jung without Professor Peterson, but i will give it a look, thank you.

For anybody who couldn't hear/make out what Freud dictates in the recording at the beginning: "I started my professional activity as a neurologist trying to bring relief to my neurotic patients. Under the influence of an older friend and by my own efforts, I discovered some important new facts about the unconscious in psychic life, the role of instinctual urges, and so on. Out of these findings grew a new science, psychoanalysis, a part of psychology, and a new method of treatment of the neuroses. I had to pay heavily for this bit of good luck. People did not believe in my facts and thought my theories unsavory. Resistance was strong and unrelenting. In the end I succeeded in acquiring pupils and building up an International Psychoanalytic Association. But the struggle is not yet over."

You know Peterson talks a lot about how humans find it really useful to just throw themselves at a problem and in the process of dealing with it they improve as a person generally, and I feel like it's really cool to be able to see how that has played out to a large extent in his time in the public spot light. You can in this video that he is a lot less refined than he has become. Not to say that his style in this is "bad," and the topics are still very much interesting, but it is cool to see how has become such an intellectual/explanatory power house in the time that he has been actively engaged in public discourse to the extent that he has since the whole pronouns thing. There is a sort of clarity conviction in the way he presents now that adds to the impact of his explanations really powerfully. I definitely wouldn't wanna try to debate something with the guy thats for sure. Or at least with the intent to win haha.

[@therickroller2358]

Dr. Peterson is a gem, a walking treasure of knowledge and wisdom, I imagine that one day people will look back at him similar to people like Issac Newton, someone who can understand and be able to explain concepts that aren't fully understood yet, but also be able to advance them in some way by making these understanding public knowledge regardless of what people threaten him with

[@jjep23]

So thankful to have found this lecture on Freud. Throughout my entire undergraduate degree, all of my professors basically laughed at Psychodynamic/ psychoanalytic theory without genuinely articulating why. There seems to be a backlash to Freud's case studies methods, particularly on upper-middle-class white people, as they are not a representative sample of the general population. Ironically, the large majority of contemporary psychological theory is based on white psychology students and thus is also not representative of the population at large. I really can't understand this hatred for Freud and this overt bias toward CBT, despite the shallow theraptuic approach invloved in CBT.

@@LetsFindOut1 he certainly has more weight in his face than in more recent videos of him.

He's actually just such a nice guy who is devoted to his students.

Watching in 2023. What a treat for those students to receive a lecture of this quality. Dr Peterson's ability to deliver it all without notes apparently. Regarding the women who studied primates, I imagine it was an advantage when trying get closer to the chimps/gorillas, the dominant male would not be so aggressive presumably. Diane Fosse met a tragic end of course. At one time I had a recurring dream in which a vast tsunami was coming up towards me, but with no soundtrack. I'd either wake up before the wave broke, or the dream would fast forward to me floating on a calm sea in bright sunshine. Oddly enough, such dreams ceased after the 26.12.2004 Asian tsunami, but that's probably just a coincidence. Another recurring dream featured me pulling endless rope-like chewing gum out of my mouth, which I took as meaning a thwarted desire for communication. Luckily I don't get this dream any more and indeed seem to dream less now, or at least I don't remember them. Dreams fascinate me, and I'd quite like to paint some of the ones I've had over the years.
