It's all about Psychoanalysis. He says most theories are specialized theories but these two are (Psychoanalysis and Behaviorism) are grand theories. They're theories of everything encompassing that matters in day to day life, child development, mental illness, religion, war, love. Freud and Skinner has explanation for all of these. Freud is born in 1850's. He spent most of his life in Vienna, Austria. He's not known for single discovery, instead he's known for the development of an encompassing theory of mind. Sigmund Freud was the founder of psycho dynamic approach. This school of thought emphasizes the influence of the unconscious mind on behavior. Freud believed that the human mind was composed of three elements: the id, the ego, and the superego. According to Freud, the mind can be divided into two main parts: Conscious mind: Everything that we are aware of. Conscious mind, which consists of all the mental processes of which we are aware. For example, you may be feeling thirsty at this moment and decide to get a drink. Preconscious: Which is not always the part conscious mind, but we can retrieved at any time. Unconscious mind: is a reservoir of feelings, thoughts, urges, and memories that outside of our conscious awareness. He says there are 3 types of psychoanalysis concepts: The ID, Ego, Super Ego The id is driven by the pleasure principle, which strives for immediate gratification of all desires, wants, and needs. If these needs are not satisfied immediately, the result is a state anxiety or tension. Id is illogical, irrational, and in fantasy world. Ego is the component of personality that is responsible for dealing with the reality. Ego operates on reality principle, which strives to satisfy the ID's desires in realistic, logically and in socially appropriate ways. Superego is the moral part of the personality that includes the values, social rules and morals of the society which are learnt from parents and others. He also explains about penis envy (Electra complex) seen in women, along with Oedipus complex which is seen in Men. She turns her penis envy into a healthy search for a “fatherly” husband. But if she fails, she becomes fixated and may be overly seductive.

Well written

[@bellakrinkle9381]

Much (not all) of Freudian theory is completely useless and unnecessary. Thank you for stating the fundamentals, it's helpful to listeners.

[@pavlovsdawg]

This is quite literally the most enjoyable and informative lecture about Freud I’ve ever seen. It is effective in that it approaches the history of psychology rather casually using anecdotes and essential contextualizations that give the audience an understanding of both the pros and cons of Freudian psychology. The audience is able to form a genuine connection to the material and it becomes most likely

[@rajkumardhakad8773]

Whie I was in the Yoga vedanta Forest Academy Rishikesh , I encountered similar questions related to conscious & unconscious mind and the conscience. The answers offerd by the Guru (based on Patanjali Yoga sutra) were indeed very deep and satisfying This is because what meditation tries to teach us is to understand our own mind, and the RIshis had did it in most perfect way. so the modern psychology which is not modern in any way except in name, now in early stage, can get some clues from these ancient insights in to human mind and help enrich both the field of psychology and the field of spirituality. The Lecture is very insightful and I will we very grateful to the Professor if he can share his views on the relation between conscience and Unconscious mind and how to merge the two to fully realize the potential of human brain.

[@bellakrinkle9381]

Your last sentence out to be the goal of a useable, functional method of Western Psychoanalysis. I believe that Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung were the predominant leaders in the development of psychology, specifically psychoanalysis. Though there were many early philosophers that were investigating human minds and perceptions of inner meanings of societal reality; however these philosophers were not attempting to assist humanity with their problems of adapting to daily living - psychoanalysis was then a new field of research . Freud and Jung, began collaborating on each other's perspectives. Jung was Freud's student until Jung veered in a different direction, specifically regarding the Collective Unconscious that Freud could not understand, or accept. However, each man's work cannot stand alone. I served as an analysand 8 or 9 years for a psychiatrist in training to learn psychoanalysis. I did progress during those years, however, I was not close to resolution when I decided to end my prescibed treatment. There were many reasons that I could not proceed further. Decades later, I started analyzing myself since I, too, was in training to be a psychoanalyst. (to myself!) And ironically, before leaving, I had a dream that foretold my future! 2023 should be the year that the work of both men's most relevant theories should be reexamined, then pared down in order to proceed in the direction of allowing human's to find their unconscious minds. I did, so can others.

[@purplep_8312]

since grade 9 i find it, ego and super ego, the stages of life etc. super interesting, it's so fascinating the way he thought and how this actually acts out in people

[@bellakrinkle9381]

Perhaps children should enter into psychoanalysis so they can experience these stages as they unfold. My mind believes the super ego only complicates acceptance of those verboten feelings and desires - whatever they are. Did you want to murder your mother or father? IF I wanted them dead, it was to be free of their Christian Authoritarianism. I wanted a voice. (I noted that once, when I drove past a cemetery, tears came to my eyes. I had to decide whether I did not want them to die, or if I wanted them to be gone from my life, and I was feeling guilty.)

(Long comment, but please read part between the ➡️blue arrows⬅️below) This Professor is great! 😎👍 Teachers like THIS really have a HUGE POSITIVE IMPACT on people, ESPECIALLY on the Youth(~K-12th Grade+College after HS), but even as an adult all the way until you're old and retired etc, you can ALWAYS benefit greatly from learning from a true scholar like this!! In all honesty, having the knowledge isnt really what makes a good teacher. Obviously is a factor, but not as big/important as you may think. The MOST Valuable and Important Skill that REALLY makes a life-changing Teacher is their ability to communicate these thoughts and ideas in layman's terms. The ability to take complex topics and break them down into significantly simpler terms is a true gift, you can certainly practice and get better etc, but some people are already Naturally gifted like that. A great example of this is the Late/Great Scientist Carl Sagan, also in my humble opinion, the GREATEST Science Communicator of ALL TIME!! ➡️For those who don't know about his work, you GOT TO watch some of his lectures on Space and the Solar System etc, he has one or two at Cornell that are some of the first search results, his '94 "Lost Lecture" and his '93 Bunyan Lecture are a couple hours long but are incredible. And also he hosted the Annual Royal Institution Christmas Lectures, which was started and hosted by Michael Faraday back in 1825!! Anyways, Carl Sagan hosted this particular year in the 90's, its a set of 6 episodes, an hour long each, and those are fantastic as well. And last but CERTAINLY not least, the one you HAVE TO WATCH is the ORIGINAL "Cosmos" series which is a Book written by Carl Sagan in 1980, but he also wrote and directed the Docu-Series as well along with his Wife, Ann Druyan. Truly incredible, especially for 1980!⬅️ Anyways, the man is a genius, and this teacher kind of reminds me of him, specifically his ability to break down complex ideas into simple terms, as well as his levity while still being informative and professional. Im grateful for this video, thank you🙏

Fyi the theory of Id, Ego and Super Ego was initiated by Aristotle , greek philosopher, so its possible that Freud did't come up with that idea but had already read about it.

[@user-nb3mq3cg8k]

It was completely different content of Aristotle's idea and Psychology in antiquities is literally the study of the soul which a sub-field of Epistemology- how reasoning is obtained. Since the foundation of Modern Psychology it is now more robust and medically scientific rather than to enhance the Science of Logic which epistemology arises from thusly Ancient Psychology.

i do believe that it is neccesary for courts to go through cases before indicting someone with mental illness. that much i can agree. what i dont agree on is the labeling of id, ego, and superego. though i do believe those three states of mind exist, i also believe that humans shouldn't be bound by their superegos and should do what they want without being bound by morals.

Psychoanalysis was indeed proven pseudoscientific but it is Inevitably safe to say Freud revolutionize at least in some sense the study of the mind and medicine. Even though it is pseudoscientific, it is not non-sense. A lot of later scholars after Freud legacy, kind of revised psychoanalysis in what is in the latest discoveries and research of current Psychological knowledge.

As much as he says “Um” makes me question his knowledge and education.

[@nathanmonaco7489]

There are many reasons to say um repeatedly. A lack of knowledge is an assumption and not strong one. Sometimes with great knowledge it is difficult to articulate things without saying um. The mind is faster than the mouth and um allows time for the brain to return to the appropriate place. 😊. Ps, I would suggest you were told in childhood that um means a lack of knowledge. Um means many things and it is normally used to create time for the mind to get back on point or to create a lie or because someone doesn't know the answer. I'd suggest when the entire presentation is taken into consideration, it's not from a lack of knowledge. Take care

[@rudythepainter3697]

This Professor is absolutely ignorant about the I'd, the Ego, and the Sper Ego. He never provided any evidences about his arguments. He only criticizes Freud without providing any evidence.

[@MotionlessEarth]

There is a bias. It is nearly obvious that he doesn’t agree with Sigmund Freud due to his comical explanation of the topics. His intense literalization of the genital aspect of psychoanalysis is taking the informative material away from the subject and is adding immaturity to the discussion. If he truly wished to inform his audience about Sigmund Freud’s teachings then he would’ve further elaborated on the Ego, Superego and Id, would have introduced to the lecture On the Universal Tendency to Debasement in the Sphere of Love, would have spoke on the neuroses and inhibitions, and spoke on his perspective of life as a whole in regards to human nature, science and religion, as in The Future of an Illusion and Beyond the Pleasure Principle. The professor’s tedious focus upon the sexual aspect of Freud’s teachings is taking away from the entire sphere of his analytical research. And lastly, his derogatory perception on the Id as “stupid” is completely unnecessary and incorrect, and his interpretation of the Superego as the “angel on the shoulder” is away from the definition, and diluted the significance of that mental institution while also adding ambiguity and will possibly confuse the audience and limit their understanding.

[@PsychEDD]

I agree that he does come off as a bit biased against Freud - but that's probably a bit 'political' as well.

@@ziggyai Put simply, Freud was initially a Medical Neurologist, thence the developer of Psychoanalysis, a novel form of psychotherapy, for which was elevated academically to the status of a Privatdozent. At no juncture did he refer to himself as a "psychologist".
