CHAPTER

Freudian Theories and Existential Dilemmas

The chapter discusses Freudian theories including the unconscious mind, stages of development, and defense mechanisms, while exploring how these concepts relate to existential dilemmas. It delves into Freud's emphasis on unconscious sexual motivations and repression in managing taboo thoughts and fears, contrasting with Kierkegaard's concept of a leap of faith in dealing with existential challenges. The conversation also explores how personality traits can be viewed as defense mechanisms against the fear of mortality and existential truths.
