Sociology / Unit 4 Soc 0503 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Freud on Socialization
Captions available
The idea
Freud held that the self forms as innate drives are constrained by social rules internalized from caregivers, producing lasting internal conflict.
In practice
A child learns to suppress an impulse and, in time, feels guilt at merely having it.
Where people slip
Sociology takes the internalization claim seriously and does not adopt the full theory.
