    Freud then demeans the ‘common man’ by claiming, “Life, as we find it, is too hard for us... In order to bear it… there are perhaps three such measures: powerful deflections… substitutive satisfactions… and intoxicating substances” (22). The coping measures that Freud describes are an effect of human suffering that, consequently, provides all humans with only an illusion of happiness. As Freud explains the foul of human life, uses the word ‘we’ to explain that all humans use at least one of the methods to bear the suffering of life. The use of ‘we’, however, also causes his readers to turn their attention to themselves, evaluating if Freud is indeed…

    The distinction between a psychopath and an empath is that a psychopath has little to no feelings when witnessing the pain of others while an empath feels sympathy and compassion for everything and everyone all the time. Researchers report that when psychopaths imagine others experiencing pain, brain regions associated with empathy for others do not connect with areas of the brain involved in emotional processing, making any concern for others impossible. When asked to empathize, some are capable of activating their emotional processes, which could explain why a serial killer can make themselves appear “normal” at times to lure their victims in. Many serial killers such as Ted Bundy, Gary Ridgeway, Tom Lynn Sells, John Wayne Gacey, Jeffery…

This essay examines psychoanalysis as a science because it influences psychology literature. Secondly, the essay discusses objectives that illustrate that psychoanalysis is a science such as (1) therapeutic efficacy (psychotherapy), (2) observations which are used mostly in case studies and (3) interpretation. Furthermore, it explains how scholars oppose that psychoanalysis is not a science. Psychoanalysis initiated by Sigmund Fred (1856) can be defined as a treatment that utilises techniques in the form examining an individual’s emotion using the unconscious mind, as well as an understanding of an individual’s mental being…
