HEY guys, it`s Nikki and this video will be
a little bit different and short, layering
on top of each other some of the previously
discussed topics: Psychosexual development,
ego, superego, the pleasure principle and
the reality principle and all that just to
show how the unison between ego and libido
was torn interested stay to find out more.
Let`s start with the Psychosexual development,
the first stage is the Oral when the baby
takes pleasure through the mouth, that`s also
the period when the ego is developing.
All actions of the baby are according to the
pleasure principle which basically means moving
towards receiving pleasure and avoiding pain.
Both the ego and sexual instincts are in union
working according the pleasure principle.
Everything works just fine until somewhere
around the Phallic stage when under the influence
of necessity or the mean rejecting world around
us, the ego understands that sometimes it
should refuse instant gratification, endure
some unpleasantness even pain, to postpone
pleasures and unfortunately leave others out.
Since that is just how the world works.
It doesn`t matter how much you want to fly
(free fall style) gravity will get you grounded
or the reality principle.
That`s the moment when Superego is developing
and starts imposing all its shoulds and shouldn`ts.
That makes the child being unsatisfied with
one self.
In order to feel good again the child greats
the Ideal image for itself or that`s called
the ego ideal.
Here is the moment when the union between
ego and libido is torn because the libido
catches up on the reality principle way later
then ego and it doesn`t really get it that
well as we can conclude from the appearance
of the symptoms cased by neuroses.

symptoms are formed so if you`re interested
