At age 25, Erikson gathered a certificate in education from the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society. This is where he studied underneath Anna Freud, Sigmund Freud’s daughter. Sigmund Freud emphasized about the psychosexual development of a child, instead of Erikson’s psychosocial development (Sharkey, W., 1997). Erikson may be considered a Freudian ego-psychologist, which means that he accepts the principles of Freud as correct, however, Erikson is much more society and culture-orientated. Erikson also uses the epigenetic principle, which is defined as a development through a predetermined unfolding of personalities through eight stages.
Only three months after the start of trials for Adolf Eichmann (a Nazi war criminal), Milgram formulated an experiment to question this dispositional view. For many war criminals, their only logical defense was that they had just been following orders. Milgram felt that Eichmann’s and others cruel behaviour were developed from their unique situation. Milgram’s Behavioral Study of Obedience sought to question the conjecture that ordinary people could commit atrocities when they are given orders by someone in authority. The model for Milgram’s experiment was simple.
Biography of Honey is incomplete without analyzing her work for as Quinn has shown, Horney’s brilliant psychoanalytic philosophies and her troubled personal life are inextricably intertwined and by tracing the history of her work, one sees the link between the theories she espoused and studied as well as her lapses into depression, her struggle to understand herself and her continual journey to find and accept closeness and love. Born in Blankenese near Hamburg, Germany on September 16, 1885, Karen Horney was the second child of Clotilde (Sonni) Ronzelen and Berndt Wackels Danielsen. Her father, a sea captain hailing from Bergen, Norway, was a strict, conservative man, used to commanding fear, respect and demanding obedience while her mother Clotilde, the descended of an illustrious Dutch-German family, was perceived as a liberal, non conformist and scholarly woman (Jones, 1989). Despite the presents he bought her and the adventurous excursions he took her on, Karen felt neglected by her father
Literary Theory: Psychoanalysis In The Awakening by Kate Chopin, Edna experiences feelings that she has never felt before in her life. She finds that the life she lives is quite dull, and she begins to rebel against her husband, and her society’s standards for women’s behavior. These feelings can be explained by psychoanalysis, which involves the unconscious, the desires, and the defenses. Edna feels no love for her husband, and she feels that she is kind of like a caged bird, held down by her husband and her role and a mother and a wife. As an act of rebellion, Edna starts being very flirtatious with other men: She only looked at him and smiled.
Essay on the key concepts and principles of Gestalt Theory Gestalt therapy was developed in the 1940’s by Fritz and Laura Perls. Fritz Perls was a German Jew born in 1892 who was originally psychodynamically trained; whilst working at the ‘Institute for Brain Damaged Soldiers’ in Frankfurt however, Perls met Dr Kurt Goldstein, who had developed the ‘organismic’ approach in therapy. This describes the individual’s innate drive towards wholeness, and had an important impact on the way in which Perls subsequently developed as a therapist, and his belief in a holistic approach to therapy. Around this time, Perls met his wife Laura who was also a Gestalt therapist. In the 1930’s they left Nazi Germany for South Africa where they continued to drift away from the more traditional theories of psychodynamic therapy, and instead started to embrace a much more holistic view of the individual based on the assumption that each person has all the resources for change and growth already within themselves.
