Albert Speer was an intelligent, affluent and well-educated man, in many ways he was an atypical Nazi. Albert Speer claimed to be apolitical as a young man; however he himself like many others, were converted to the Nazi Party after attending a rally and hearing Adolf Hitler speak. The second of three sons to Albert Friedrich Speer and Luise Mathilde Wilhelmine Hommel, Berthold Konrad Hermann Albert Speer was born the 19th March 1905. The Speer family lived in Mannheim, Germany and were quite wealthy. At school Speer excelled, particularly in mathematics.
Freud was born in the Czech Republic on 6th May 1856, his parents were practicing Jews and were very religious, but as Freud grew up he himself, even though being a Jew never practised. In 1873 he began to study medicine in Vienna, and once graduating he worked at the Vienna General Hospital. Freud began with treating hysteria by means of hypnosis, but he abandoned hypnosis to develop his own technique of psychoanalysis. Freud developed many theories, those include looking at the interpretation of dreams, he looked at the Id, ego and super ego which develop at different stages in life. I will now go on to explain these in more detail: The Id drives in one direction only and is the real driving force behind some ones behaviour, the components of their personality it is the unconscious part of our psyche.
[pic] Sigmund Freud: The most influential thinker of the twentieth century. Sigmund Freud; Physiologist, medical doctor, and father of psychoanalysis, is known as one of the most influential and authoritative thinkers of the twentieth century[1] According to Freud’s psychoanalytic theory of personality, personality is composed of three elements. The id, ego and superego. These three elements work together to create complex human behaviors. [2] The id is the uncoordinated part of our secret desire.
Sigmund Freud's theory is the psychoanalytic theory unique to a certain point and which it has developed formal models describing the ways in which individuals process information on different levels (Bornstein, 2010). Freud saw dreams as a way of unlocking unconscious thoughts and untold secrets. Sigmund created his theory through the importance of unconscious. Carl Jung accepted the unconscious idea and developed the analytic psychology. Both Freud and Jung were drawn to the unconscious way of explaining dreams.
Part of his fame comes from his development of his three part model of personality. Dyce (2008) describes the parts of Freud’s basic personality model; the superego (right and wrong) , the ego( the balance between ID and superego), and the ID ( biologically pleasure based). The ID represents the unconscious, uncivilized, selfish, illogical, impulsive, pleasure-seeking part of ourselves which may be unbridled
I am going to write my reflection on the story of Young Goodman Brown in the light of psychoanalysis theory. I will start with the theory, then applied it on the story. Sigmund Freud, a well-known psychologist, introduced us to a new theory in the world of criticism; he invented the concept of Psychoanalytic Criticism, in which he divided the mind into conscious and unconscious. Returning to the history of the theory and its development, we can say that Sigmund Freud, believed that the unconscious is the storehouse, where all the hidden desires, fears, and ambition are stored and suppressed. He declared that our mind consists of both conscious (ID), and the unconscious (ego).
In this essay Freud sets out his theory of psychosexual development. He asserts that there is in all humans an innate drive or instinct for pleasure, a sort of psychic energy, which he calls the libido and this energy needs to be discharged. He then goes on to describe how this drive finds outlet at the earliest stages of life, as babies, toddlers and infants and describes the oral, anal and phallic stages and the psychological effects of fixation at these stages. It is important to note that Freud separated sexual aims and objectives. His work on sexuality and perversions led to the wider theory of sexuality whereby he differentiated the sexual aim (the desire for pleasure) and the object (the person or thing used to fulfil the desire).
“Evaluate the extent to which Freud’s theory of psychosexual development can help us to understand a client’s presenting issue?” Sigmund Freud’s most vital contribution to the study of psychology and human behaviour was his notion of the “dynamic unconscious”. This view was that the unconscious mind played a precisely important role in determining how an individual behaved. Freud put forward the principle of multiple determinations, which suggests that every psychic event is determined by the simultaneous action of several others. He saw the unconscious mind as the actual source of mental energy, which determined behaviour. He based his belief on the results of trials with hypnosis.
Freud’s theory of psychosexual development is one of the best known throughout the world. When his name is mentioned, many have a recollection of a part of his theories. His theories have been widely debated. The main goal of this essay is to demonstrate an understanding of Freud’s theory of psychosexual development and how this theory may help us to explain, identify and understand a client’s presenting issue. In evaluating the pros and cons of psychosexual theory and helps us to understand a client’s presenting issue, I will define and consider the relationship between the Id, Ego and Superego and the way in which these are in many ways representative of earlier experiences and of those early situations and conflicts we faced.
The rule utilitarian believes that there are enough human motives and situations to justify setting up rules that apply to all humans and situations. Kant’s duty ethics were broken down into categorical imperative and practical imperative. According to categorical imperative an act is immoral if the rule that would authorize it cannot be made into a rule for all humans. Practical imperative states that no human should be thought of or used merely as a means for someone else’s end but rather each human is a unique end in himself. There are similarities and differences between these two groups of categories.
