- Conscience in the work of Freud
- Sigmund Freud
- Founder and father of psychoanalysis
- Saw conscience as guilty complex
- Thought process leads human brings to undertake actions out of a sense of guilt and embarrassment for previous actions or feelings
- Oedipus complex
- The sexual desire of a son for his mother & sense of rivalry with the parent of the same sex (his father)
- A natural desire
- Part of child's moral development
- Starting point - Freud's understanding human guilt & need of conscience
- Freud: believed importance of sexuality in human psychology
- All children experience it - stage of development
- The sexual desire of a son for his mother & sense of rivalry with the parent of the same sex (his father)
- Electra Complex
- The sexual desire of a daughter for her father and the sense of rivalry with mother
- Less strong than the Oedipus complex
- Conscience develops from this sense of guilt
- Child knows it's wrong - this wish develops into the child's love and affection for their parent
- Stage ends = child represses its sexual desires
- & Identifies with the parent of the same sex
- Resolution of the Oedipus complex os the origin ofr the development of the person
- Sigmund Freud
