Theories of Personality Major Paper: Violet Harmon This paper is about the personality of Violet Harmon, a main character in the rapidly growing television show American Horror Story. I will describe her life in a case study below and from there on I will describe the study of her personality from both a psychoanalytic viewpoint and a non-psychoanalytic viewpoint, in doing so I will bring up many of the psychologist theories that we have covered throughout the semester such as Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, Gordon Allport, etc.… Some of the theories that will be talked about will be psychoanalytic theory, Allport’s trait approach, and Skinner’s behavioural approach. All of these approaches and traits are important to the theory of personality.
