Freud’s concept of psychoanalysis has helped many understand the importance of speaking to a therapist about his or her problems and concerns. Rogers’s person-centered theory has allowed therapists and counselors to understand individuals are unique and an individual’s development goes beyond early childhood. Psychology calls Freud one of the most famous and influential figures of controversial thinkers of the twentieth century (Grünbaum, 2007). Sigmund Freud’s work was influential to more people than he realized it would be. For more than 100 years, his work has been researched, reviewed, tested, and proven.
The movie, A Better Life, where a father tries to make a better life for him and his son in America, but ends up getting deported. The movie, Gran Torino, where a Korean War Veteran is tired of the Hmong gangs in his neighborhood and risks his life for all of them to end up in prison.

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.

Willy depicts a common American in search of the American Dream. His troubled personality, the financial woes, and his inability to support his families’ needs are the substantial flaws that lead to his tragic demise. Willy is an aging salesman who can’t sell anything.
They both studied different ideas, and preached different views about how our mind functioned. While Maslow focused on the humanistic aspect of our personality, Jung focused on the psychoanalytic aspect. However, they were both inspired by two great people. Carl Jung was deeply influenced by Sigmund Freud who happens to be the father of psychoanalysis. 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.
He is rebelling against societal reform while crying out for parental attention. When you are a teenager, everything seems to feel like life or death and in rebel without a cause, Nicholas Ray taps into that emotional state, treating its star triumvirate of 1950s California kids as the confused saints they imagine themselves to be. When the show at the planetarium is finished there is a brawl between Jim, the new kid and a bully in leather jacket who is Buzz. Buzz and his gang found Jim easily; he isn’t hiding but trying to stay out of trouble since his family moved to his town after Jim beat a boy in his last school for calling him a “chicken”. The gang crowds threateningly around Jim’s car while he and Plato are watching from balcony above.
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”.
My reader Response based on Johnny Cade “The Outsiders” Natividad Osorio Pre-English 2 11/27/2012 Johnny Cade is a vulnerable sixteen-year-old greaser in a group defined by toughness and a sense of invincibility. He comes from an abusive home, and he takes to the greasers because they are his only reliable family. While Johnny needs the greasers, the greasers also need Johnny, for protecting him gives them a sense of purpose and justifies their violent measures. When Johnny, little and vulnerable, suffers at the hands of the Socs, the greasers feel justified in their hatred of the rival gang. If you can picture a little dark puppy that has been kicked too many times and is lost in a crowd of strangers, you'll have Johnny.
In “Black Swan Green” by David Mitchell, twelve-going-on-thirteen-year-old Jason Taylor’s life is on the brink of collapsing: his parents are arguing, he is repeatedly bullied for his stutter, he has broken his grandfather’s prized watch. Yet Jason already acts different from the usual thirteen-year-old boy. He finds comfort in the nearby woods, names his personal problems, and writing poems instead of securing himself in a core group of friends. So naturally he turns to older people, though not his parents (“Their arguments’re speed chess these days”), for advise in an attempt to escape the bullying and teenage conflicts (223). Unlike other teenagers he listens to them, and in return, they show respect.
