Explain Freud’s theory of personality and its implications for counseling.

According to Freud’s psychoanalytic theory of personality development, there are two basic factors which drive an individual and help in shaping his/her personality. These two basic drivers are love and aggression which have a direct impact on what an individual does and thinks. According to Freud, love and aggression have a direct control on our minds and thoughts.

Freud referred to Love and Aggression as “Eros” and “Thanatos” respectively.

“Eros” refers to intimate and passionate love between two partners. It is often defined as a kind of madness which one experiences for his/her partner.

“Thanatos” was a figure in Greek mythology, though he never really existed as a person. Thanatos symbolizes death.

Freud believed that Eros represents an individual’s instinct to survive. Eros refers to an individual’s determination to live, where sex is the major driving force.

Thanatos on the other hand represents aggression which ultimately leads to death.
