Freudian Theory
1) According to Freudian theory, is Steve aware of why he interacts with women only on a sexual basis? Which state of consciousness is most involved in controlling this behavior?
2) What type of Freudian psychic energy motivates Steve's relationships with women?
3) At what Freudian stage is Steve fixated and what evidence exists of this? What exactly is the stage and how does it contribute to the fixation? What would have caused this fixation?
4) Although many of Freud's major theories have fallen out of favor among psychologists for their lack of falsifiability (i.e., can not be tested empirically true or false using the scientific method), many of Freud's ideas have had a significant impact on the field of psychology (the study of the unconscious; the importance of early childhood experiences; stage development; defense mechanisms). Which is considered to be the most important? Specifically, why is it considered to be more so than the others?
