Libidinal Types
Freud's short article ''Libidinal types'' was published in German in 1931 as Über libidinöse Typen. English translations followed in 1932, both as the lead article in the first volume of The Psychoanalytic Quarterly, and in the International Journal of Psycho-Analysis. It describes a set of seven normal personality types that are derived from three main types that he considered to be normal, rather than pathological. The Typology The types are conceptually aligned with Freud's earlier work in character types, but are based on Freud's later, structural view of the mind. "According, then, as the libido is predominantly allocated to the provinces of mental apparatus, we can distinguish three main libidinal types. To give names to these types is not particularly easy; following our depth-psychology, I should like to call them the ''erotic'', the ''narcissistic'', and the ''obsessional'' types." While this was published as a journal article, it may also be considered as a further deve ...

Libido
In psychology, libido (; ) is psychic drive or energy, usually conceived of as sexual in nature, but sometimes conceived of as including other forms of desire. The term ''libido'' was originally developed by Sigmund Freud, the pioneering originator of psychoanalysis. With direct reference to Plato's Eros, the term initially referred only to specific sexual desire, later expanded to the concept of a universal psychic energy that drives all instincts and whose '' great reservoir is the id''. The libido partly according to its synthesising, partly to its analytical aspect called ''life-'' and ''death-drive'' - thus becomes the source of all natural forms of expression: the behaviour of sexuality as well as striving for social commitment (''maternal love instinct'' etc.), skin pleasure, food, knowledge and victory in the areas of species- and self-preservation. In common or colloquial usage, a person's overall sexual drive is often referred to as that person's "libido". In this sen ...

Essays By Sigmund Freud
An essay ( ) is, generally, a piece of writing that gives the author's own argument, but the definition is vague, overlapping with those of a letter, a paper, an article, a pamphlet, and a short story. Essays have been sub-classified as formal and informal: formal essays are characterized by "serious purpose, dignity, logical organization, length," whereas the informal essay is characterized by "the personal element (self-revelation, individual tastes and experiences, confidential manner), humor, graceful style, rambling structure, unconventionality or novelty of theme," etc. Essays are commonly used as literary criticism, political manifestos, learned arguments, observations of daily life, recollections, and reflections of the author. Almost all modern essays are written in prose, but works in verse have been dubbed essays (e.g., Alexander Pope's ''An Essay on Criticism'' and ''An Essay on Man''). While brevity usually defines an essay, voluminous works like John Locke's '' ...
