Though he dismissed Freudian theory that stated that human personality was defined by their sexual drive and desires, he established that we have 2 states of unconscious. A personal unconscious which he agreed held emotions and desires, but he also proposed the existence of a collective unconscious which is where all the archetypes were stored. He believed that there was just more to humans that just sexual drive. He also left a great deal of impact on psychotherapy by starting the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Abraham Maslow was influenced by Harry Harlow who had conducted the Rhesus Monkey Study which suggested that a lack of contact comfort is psychologically stressful for rhesus monkey when separated from their mothers.
This is the contradicting of Jung. Jung has analysis himself to experience the unconscious through his dreams and fantasia Jung believe that he was strong enough to make dangerous journey and come back to talk about it. His goal was to understand the unconscious from the purpose viewpoint of scientist. Ellis thoughts are that society is more disturbs and it more inclusive and exact “people disturb themselves by thing that have happen to them. And by the view, feelings, and actions” (p16) Horney’s (1950) also Adler writes that our Emotional reactions and lifestyle are associated with our basic beliefs and are therefore cognitively created.
I will lastly concentrate on discussing the applications of his theory to therapy today. Freud devised the best known and arguably the most widely studied and universally talked about of all the personality theories. Central to his ideology was the belief that instinctual biological urges, primarily sexual and aggressive are the forces that motivate every aspect of an individual’s behaviour. One of the fundamental notions in Freud’s theory, concerning his view of human personality, is the
Psychoanalytic Criticism and Jane Eyre WHAT IS PSYCHOANALYTIC CRITICISM? It seems natural to think about literature in terms of dreams. Like dreams, literary works are fictions, inventions of the mind that, although based on reality, are by definition not literally true. Like a literary work, a dream may have some truth to tell, but, like a literary work, it may need to be interpreted before that truth can be grasped. We can live vicariously through romantic fictions, much as we can through daydreams.
Carl Jung began his studies under Sigmund Freud, and was seen by many as Freud’s “son.” This of course was not true, but much of Jung’s basis for his theory of personality stands as a reflection of Freud’s work. To center Jung’s theory is his unveiling of the psyche, which serves as ones equilibrium and our everlasting strive for harmony within. This, like Freud’s theory, is sexually driven by the sexual energy, libido. The libido is ultimately what controls the future of a person through motivation; this is also known as being teleological. I enjoy reading about this theory because of the detail that encompasses the psyche.
The act of dreaming is the experience of situations, images, emotions and thoughts that take place during sleep. Dreams are strongly associated with rapid eye movement also known as REM sleep, during which an electroencephalogram shows brain activity to be most like wakefulness. The contents and biological purposes of dreams are not fully understood, though they have been a topic of speculation and interest throughout recorded history. The notion that dreams have a deep meaning behind them was greatly favoured by Psychiatrist Sigmund Freud who believed the interpretation of dreams were sources of insight into unconscious desires. Another Psychiatrist, Carl Jung, also believed that dreams held significant meaning.
“Vi veri veniversum vivus vici”: A Character Analysis of V in Alan Moore’s V for Vendetta Using Sigmund Freud’s Theoretical Concept of the Id The personality is a very broad and intense topic that people either do not understand or do. Sigmund Freud, the founder of modern day psychology and psychoanalysis, describes a personality to consist of three components -the id, ego, and superego- that work together to create complex human behaviours. The id is completely unconscious and is the only component of personality that is present from birth. It is driven by the pleasure principle, which strives for the gratification of all desires, wants, and needs. Freud’s theories are considered to be very influential in today’s modern society as it can be use to analyze one’s behaviour.
An Overly-Conscious Conscious: The Possibility of an Over-Dominant Superego One of the most common theories in psychology - known to people whether they are studying psychology or not - is the psychoanalytic theory of the human personality according to Sigmund Freud. In his theory, there are three parts of the human mind which dictate what we do, and why we do it. The first and most primitive part of the mind is the id: Freud saw this part as something humans are born with and as the source of all drives and urges. Essentially, the id operates on the pleasure principle - somewhat like a spoiled child; this part of the mind desires immediate gratification, and cannot tolerate any wait in getting what it wants. This part of the mind clearly dominates the human during infancy, demonstrated by the incessant crying of a child when it craves anything from attention to food.
Sigmund Freud was one of the most powerful intellectuals of his time. He was the tower of strength in which psychoanalysis was created, with his brilliant thoughts and researches he cultivated theories and teachings that is the groundwork for several school of thoughts for psychology. Freud’s theoretical positions incorporate the ideas of repression, the unconscious, and the infantile sexuality. These three groups offered an explanation for the formation of the mind and also suggestions for the perceptive of psychological development of an individual. According to the author, “Freud’s psychoanalytic theory of personality, the unconscious mind is a reservoir of feelings, thoughts, urges, and memories that outside of our conscious awareness most of the contents of the unconscious are unacceptable or unpleasant, such as feelings of pain, anxiety, or conflict”.
Freud’s belief in the “id” (or, the set of uncoordinated, instinctual trends of the psyche), the “ego” (the more organized, realistic part of the psyche), and the “superego” (the socially-constructed, appropriate conscience) formed the first foundation for psychoanalysis in early 20th century psychology and, thus, in literary criticism. Freud asserted that people’s behavior is primarily affected by their unconscious: “The notion that human beings are motivated, even driven, by desires, fears, needs, and conflicts of which they are unaware” (Lin 21-22). The tragic story of Gustav von Aschenbach, therefore, cannot be understood completely without a deeper digging into the mentality of the artist and a questioning as to why he collapses both morally and psychologically by the final chapter of the novella. Jacques Lacan took Freud’s work one step further in the late 20th century and argued that the human subject becomes an
