How did schizophrenia survive through the process of natural selection? What role would a schizophrenic play in a hunter gatherer society? A seer maybe? How would they deal an entire life, unmedicated, being jumpy and anxious from hallucinations and delusions? It baffles me

The mind is divided in conscious (rational motives) and unconscious mind (reservoir of motives)
There is a repertory of motives that our mind, independent of our will, that participate in determining actions
Repulsive picture of the soul

A child is a sexual being
Parents repress the child's sexuality
Child undergoes oral, anal and phallic stages before entering the latency stage
Girls envy the penis and are attracted to their father

"When a boy enters the phallic phase... he becomes his mother's lover. He wishes to possess her physically and he tries to seduce her by showing her the male organ... seeks to take his father's place with her. His father now becomes a rival whom he would like to get rid of. The boy's mother has understood quite well that his sexual excitation relates to herself... she threatens to take away from him the thing he is defying her with she delegates its execution to the boy's father, saying that she will tell him and that he will cut the penis off"

Dreams rely on memories and are assembled to deliver a meaning
Dreams are not prophecies but memories

Mental life is originally unconscious. It becomes (potentially) conscious through perception
Ego perceives, learns and acts (consciously)
Super-ego is the (unconscious) moral conscience which originates during childhood through conflicts with the parent figures
Id is the repertory of unconscious memories (created by libido)
The most unconscious memory is the "death wish", the impulse to annihilate one's existence

Causes of neurosis are largely sexual
Knowledge can only be understood as involving the knower's life lived in a historically conditioned culture
