The psychoanalytic perspective of personality sheds light on human development in terms of inner drives and motivations, which belong to the unconscious mind and sexual instincts, as well as derive from childhood experiences of which can be revealed through dreams, free associations and slips of the tongue; however, if there is conflict between motivations, defense mechanisms (ranging from denial, displacement, projection, reaction formation, regression, repression, sublimation, and rationalization) and anxiety will actually be built. As indicated by the psychoanalytic theory of Freud (the founder of psychoanalysis), children encounter sexual desires/preferences and each has a distinct erogenous zone. These phases are the oral phase (the mouth is the focal point of pleasant sensations and sucking is the most exciting action), the anal phase (the anus is the focus of pleasant sensations and toilet training is the most exciting activity). imperative), the phallic stage (satisfaction is the result of genital stimulation), and the genital stage (mature sexual activities/appeals will continue thereafter throughout adulthood), all of which include their own potential conflicts and the inability to resolve them results in a fixation. It also divided the human psyche into three individual but intertwined motivational forces: Id (makes every effort to satisfy basic sexual and warlike drives as a means to function according to the pleasure principle, demanding immediate gratification), Ego (the element for mostly conscious, "administrative" part of the personality mediates between the pleas of the id and the superego, as it functions according to the reality principle by satisfying the desires of the id in ways that will realistically bring pleasure rather than distress), and s. ..... middle of paper ......being, status and wealth. The humanistic perspective of personality focuses on people's internal capacities for self-actualization and growth, as well as free will and personal awareness. It takes a more optimistic view of human nature and focuses on how each individual can reach their highest potential. Humanists emphasize what individuals have in common overall, that they all have the same basic needs and whose potential for good is intrinsic. This approach flourished throughout the 1960s thanks to its founders: Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers. Rogers believed that people should offer each other unconditional positive regard (an attitude of absolute acceptance toward another person without conditions). He also stated that the climate conducive to growth requires three conditions: authenticity, acceptance, empathy.
