Introversion 2
Introversion and How it is Viewed by Freud and Neo-Analysts An introvert is seen as an individual in whom an excessive amount of the thought processes exists, and due to this has a tendency to withdraw from social interactions (American Psychological Association, 2016). When going about presenting introversion many constructs may be used. After evaluating the origin of this personality characteristic from the perspective of the individual themselves another approach is to look at introversion through the lens of Freud and a neo-analyst, Jung; seeing how each views how the trait originates and how the trait continues to stay present over time, then comparing both views through a critique.

Overtime all that changes is that this behavior grows to impact other aspects of the personality. Such aspects may include being seen as reasonable, logical, calm and easy to talk to (since they do not to interrupt as much as an extrovert) (Jung, 1971, pgs. 154-155). All of these items of personality greatly influence the person as a whole and can be seen linked back to the main character trait of …show more content…
Jung is by far the better theorist when it comes to the discussion of introversion. His theory is overall more well-rounded and easier to test, seen in the fact that he actually made a model to measure it and the test is used world-wide (MBTI) (Funder, 2016, pg. 398). In his theory an observer has a clearer understanding of what introversion actually is and how it can be noticed in others. Jung also shows how introversion compares to extroversion and how such a trait may be born and stay present in an individual. His only real flaw is that unlike Freud Jung’s theory is too large scale to pin point a clear start to the characteristic and what specific events or happens make it come to be.
Introversion can be seen through many different theories when applied by unlike psychoanalysts. Freud prefers the stage approach of looking at this characteristic labeling it as a result of decisions made during the oral stage of development. Jung, on the other hand, sees introversion as a different way to process the stimuli of the world. Both theorists bring a great deal to the table, but in the end Jung pulls through in having a more well-rounded theory behind
