PSYCHOANALYSIS CLOZE
TEST
An important aspect of psychological development is the establishment of an idea of one's self. This
perception is closely linked to the development of sexual identity. As a child grows up, it

How to
identify similarities and differences with others early on. Let’s consider the
category of 'sexual gender' and its discovery by children. Around the age of ten months,
children understand that there are male and female individuals. Around the age of one
year, they
Begin to
pay attention to their peers.
However
it is not yet clear whether there is a structural differentiation between males and females
with respect to cognitive strategies. Differences are marked in the 'choice of games', a choice that is
very often something that is taught and not natural. Males, for example, are more
p
rone to
movement and construction games or prefer games that fit male stereotypes.
Females are usually predisposed to more meditative games or games with dolls and toy kitchens.
At the same time
a precise relational style is noted in boys and girls: girls are usually more
collaborative, while boys form bonds according to hierarchical and dominant aspects.

to want to excel among others and try assert to themselves, while boys

Two major theories have been concerned with analyzing identity development and, in particular,
have linked this development to sexuality: psychoanalysis and social learning theory.
Psychoanalysis can be defined as the 'energy model of motivation' because it postulates that at
the basis of all behavior there is the need to
discharge energy that, otherwise, becomes obscure
and
unsustainable. The term was coined in the 20th century from the fusion of 'psyche' and
'analysis'. The former is a Greek term that actually means 'soul' but over time
became
synonymous with 'spirit' and later 'mind'. On the other hand ,
the term 'analysis' is formed from the Greek preposition 'ana-' meaning 'equal' and '-lysis'
meaning to dissolve.

1939) was an Austrian neurologist, psychoanalyst and philosopher, founder of psychoanalysis. He is
among the most influential intellectuals of the 20th century and is known for having developed a
scientific-philosophical theory, according to which unconscious psychic processes exert decisive
influences on thought, human behavior and interactions between individuals. He
Attempted to
establish correlations between the unconscious and the physical structures of the
human mind and body. His theories have also found partial confirmation in modern neurology and
psychiatry.
In psychoanalysis, the infantile sex impulse underlies
interpretative processes. Obviously, he

because Freud much criticised have given too much of a role to sexuality, which was considered
excessive. Instead, his studies were evolutionary in the field

The psychoanalytic theory stems from the Austrian neurologist and psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud.
