Sigmund Freud Concept Map Overview

Sigmund Freud (1856 to 1939) was an Austrian neurologist who founded psychoanalysis. His theory divides into a few main branches: the structure of the mind, the stages of psychosexual development, the defense mechanisms the ego uses against anxiety, and the role of the unconscious in behavior. A concept map helps you see how these ideas link together.

  • Structure of the mind: the id, ego and superego and how they interact
  • Levels of consciousness: conscious, preconscious and unconscious
  • Psychosexual stages: oral, anal, phallic, latency and genital
  • Defense mechanisms: repression, denial, projection and sublimation
  • Dream analysis: manifest and latent content of dreams

Use the map to revise before an exam, or to compare Freud with later theorists. Create a personalized Freud map from your own notes with CogniGuide.
