Sports psychology studies how, why and under what conditions athletes, coaches and spectators behave the way they do as well as investigating the mutual influence between physical activity and participation in sport and psychophysical well-being, health and personal development. Addiction is characterized by denial, uncontrolled use or behavior, relapse in use or behavior despite knowledge of negative consequences, and distortions in thinking about the addiction in periodic or ongoing episodes. The whole concept of the psychosexual stages through which our conscious and unconscious minds develop seems completely absurd. If a child becomes fixated with a particular stage of their development, problems relating to key events in that stage can arise in adulthood.

She notices that she does not have a penis, while the male members of her family do, and she wishes that she too had one. Freud thought that the girl's logical reasoning would be to believe that her mother had cut off her, the girl's, penis. Once the girl realizes it isn't possible for her to have a penis, she represses her rage against the mother and replaces her desire for a penis with a desire to have a baby.”How does the brain remember faces?
