In classical Freudian theory the unconscious wishes were almost exclusively sexual, basic but unacceptable wishes of childhood get driven out of awareness. They become part of the active unconscious where, while out of awareness, they remain influential.
The active unconscious presses to find the expression in dreams, slips of speech, unconscious mannerisms, as well as socially approved behavior as artistic, literary, or scientific activity. One may say that it is difficult to treat Freud's influence because it is far-reaching in effect and extremely complex.
Freud believed that the sexual desire could be developed in individuals by sublimation. That pleasure could be derived from any object that, as humans develop become fixated on different and specific objects through their stages of personality development.
First in the oral stage, illustrated by an infant's pleasure in nursing, the mother's breast is the first object. Consistently, the first love object is the mother, a displacement of the earlier object of desire which is the breast.
Then in the anal stage by a toddler's pleasure in discharging bowels, the object is the rectal orifice. Then in the phallic stage, where children then passed through a stage in which they settled on the mother as a sexual object, known as the Oedipus complex, but that the child eventually overcame and repressed this desire because of its forbidden nature.
The repressive latency stage of psychosexual development comes before the final stage of psychosexual development when sexual urges are once again aroused. Adolescents direct their sexual urges to the opposite sex with the genitals as the primary focus of pleasure (Felluga, D. 2003).
Freud' theory of personality is the basis of psychoanalysis, which is one of the most important psychotherapeutic methods. Intensive sessions between the psychoanalyst and the patient are held an hour a day, four or five times a week, or more often depending on the nature and scope of the problem. If possible the psychoanalyst should spend more than enough time with the patient.
The psychoanalyst attempts to help the client reveal and resolve his emotional problems and conflicts and to determine his motives for repressing them. The psychoanalyst utilizes the person's refusal (resistance) and reveals foolish or embarrassing thoughts so that the basic unconscious feeling that underlies his problem may be uncovered.
Through dream analysis, the latent content of a dream (unpleasant or painful unconscious thoughts) based on knowledge of its manifest content (remembered portion of the dream as recalled by the person after awakening) may be uncovered by the psychoanalyst.
The object of psychoanalytic treatment is self-understanding of the conflict. The psychotherapist must facilitate the patient himself to be aware of the unresolved conflict entombed in the cryptical niches of the unconscious mind to face and pursue with them to effect healing. Therapists must learn and experience the techniques themselves as clients. The patient needs empathy that is discernment and getting into the feelings of the patient.
Suppression of the formerly repressed drives is another possibility to cure the patient. It means that, after the unconscious mind have been uncovered and understood by the patient; the conscious mind must exclude the unacceptable thoughts or desires and channel this repressed energy into sublimation which is achieving social, artistic, and other interests in life. What is important is the discharge of the repressed psychic energy, the coarctation of which was the primary reason of the neurotic indications.
