More from IndefinitePersona
This was a fun little PowerPoint I did concerning Freud, formerly my favorite connoisseur of psychoanalysis, who, understandably, desperately needed a structural revision (thankfully, psychoanalysis has expanded and evolved SOOOO much over the past century that it can make up for Freud's strange errors, detailed within the presentation).

Freud's main contribution to te psychoanalytical theory of pleasure and pain (and thus the aversive stimulus and the reinforcer in classical conditioning) was that pleasure does not exist. According to him, pleasure is nothing more than the dimunition of pain. He goes on to say that pleasure is derived from the absence of stimuli - ie that in order to attain the highest possible state of pleasure, you would need to stop physical contact with the environment. Clearly, when having sex, we all know this is far from true. The senses are bombarded with an influx of stimulus, and in order to reach climax, the stimulus must be increased greatly above normal. This alone disproves the theory upon which most of Freud's concepts were based. Not to mention that, naturally, if pleasure is the dimunition of any sensory stimulation, then the most pleasure possible is death. Freud said that the organism will always strive towards having less of a stimuli on it, but that would entail a sort of self-terminating reflex. An instinctual lifelong quest for the end. The meaning of life, Freud may have believed (me, not so much) is death.
