Freud's challenges against Religion

This is a complete lesson covering:

• Freud’s background
• Introduction to psychoanalysis- id; ego and superego
• Religion as a collective neurosis
• Religion as a neurosis- Oedipus Complex and Primal Horde
• Religion as an Illusion- Wish Fulfilment and reaction against helplessness
• Freud key words
• A worksheet the students can fill in whilst the lesson is being taught

This lesson is accompanied by an exam question at the end and an A4 revision page on consolidating questions all on Freud.

This lesson also looks at the case studies supporting the Oedipus Complex!

In between the content there are also activities to check with how much information the students have remembered.

I will be using this lesson with my Y13’s this year, please leave a review on how you found it.

Warm wishes,
