Freud's Two Drives: Sadistic Misogyny (Part 1)

Following on from the previous series of videos on the psychoanalytic model of mind and inferiority in Carl Jung, Previn Karian opens up more content on the shadow psychology of heterosexual men. This video introduces Sigmund Freud's two drives of sadism and masochism that lie alongside inferiority as psychological determinants in men. It begins with the libertine philosophy of the Marquis de Sade, fast forwards through Darwin to the early European sexologists that Freud responded to, and explains how women become psychological objects that have to gratify the sadistic drive in men.

The difference between emotions, memories, desires and the two drives that erupt according to our individual narratives are explained diagrammatically as the shadow space of the unconscious. The works of Havelock Ellis, Albert Moll and Richard Von Krafft-Ebbing are also discussed to show how sexuality and sexual identity became a psychological location rather than a biological act for reproduction. Freud's development of their studies from embryology and literature established that we possess psychological drives in search of objects to satisfy us. For heterosexual men, women are that object. They can connect to either a sadistic or a masochistic drive.

While Part 1 outlines the psychoanalytic model that explains sadistic misogyny, Part 2 develops the practical application of this model for our contemporary times.
