history of the individual based on:
The interaction of the contingent history of the individual

Structured history of the various developmental forces

At birth the individual is psychically not fully formed
A totally unconscious mass of instinctive desires
The individual is unaware that she or he is one
The child assumes that it is the world, complete and self-

The child has no real awareness of self
The child is a bundle of drives seeking to fulfill the pleasure

The primary satisfaction it seeks is through its oral area, by
