Psychology:Its common for boys to fantasise about their mums
-
The phallic stage, from three to five years old was the stage where the child's sexual identification was established. During this stage Freud hypothesised that a young boy would experience what he called the Oedipus complex. This would provide the child with highly disturbing conflicts, which had to be resolved by the child identifying with the same-sexed parent.
Freud thought that, during the phallic stage, the young boy develops an intense sexual love for his mother. Because of this, he sees his father as a rival, and wants to get rid of him. The father, however, is far bigger and more powerful than the young boy, and so the child develops a fear that, seeing him as a rival, his father will castrate him. Because it is impossible to live with the continual castration-threat anxiety provided by this conflict, the young boy develops a mechanism for coping with it, using a defence mechanism known as 'identification with the aggressor'. He stresses all the ways that he is similar to his father, adopting his father's attitudes, mannerisms and actions, feeling that if his father sees him as similar, he will not feel hostile towards him.

this theory is recognised by the experts in the same field

Uh huh.

1. Even if really was true, we can only say it applies to Western societies.
2. And...this theory is recognized by experts in the same field, yah. (psychoanalysis) Unfortunately, that field is no longer respected. Those "experts" are very few. Most psychologists today hold Freud's views mostly as untrue and lacking scientific basis. -
I disagree. Sigmund Freud had an important influence on the development of psychology. I think he is a genius. A bit weird but no doubt about it a genius.
Just wondering, are you looking at this from the experimentalist perspective? -
Hmm..have to wait for me to study first then I can rebut you hahaha...
Anyways, I thought Sigmund Freud's theories are thoroughly debunked today? Yah he is considered the father of psychology because he was the first to consider using the scientific approach in the investigation of the mind, and his studies did influence the development of psychology as a science. But I thought most of his theories are regarded as false liao? -
wtFF is tis topic? ................u need a serious dose of Carl Jung

I don’t think he is considered the ‘Father of Psychology.’ But he is the ‘Father of Psychoanalysis’ no doubt about that.Originally posted by ilangobi:Hmm..have to wait for me to study first then I can rebut you hahaha...

(William Wundt, is generally regarded as the ‘Father of Psychology.’)
Actually Freud thought he was using scientific approaches in his studies of human behaviours. The truth is his approaches such as free association, dream interpretation, etc hold little/no validity.
However, psychodynamics provides a starting point for understanding human behaviour in its entirely and laid the foundation for other psychologists such as Melanie Klein. -
