Explanations > Behaviors > Freud's theories

Although he did go over the top in this area, he also contributed much in many other areas. Pages on his work are spread around the site, so this is just a collection in one place...

Freud's Personality Factors: Ego, id, super-ego and cathexis
Defense Mechanisms: Many ways we cope with stress
Transference: projecting one person onto another
Freud's Psychosexual Stage Theory: sex images in early life.
