Freudian or Neo-Freudian Psychoanalytic Social Theory is constructed on the idea that our culture and our social environment, such as childhood experiences, contribute in shaping our personality. Karen Horney is “one of the three most influential women in the history of psychoanalysis” (Funder, 2016). Horney’s theory gives a great definition of neurosis by allowing us to have a different view of a neurosis. During Horney’s clinical experience she addressed ten particular patterns of a neurotic…

When you think of developmental psychology what major names come to the forefront of your mind? Sigmund Freud? Erik Erikson? Jean Piaget? Maybe even Lev Vygotsky. Development is a very prominent aspect in psychology, made up of a multitude of theories. Freud’s psychosexual stages and Erikson’s eight stages of psychosocial development are two theories that are leading the way. These two gentlemen’s theories could not be more different, not only from a sexual aspect, but also from an overall…

Letter of Intent: First of all, I would like to say thank you to every member on the 2015-2016 E-board for the hard work and dedication you put into the association. Reflecting back on this year, we were able to perform at a level that other student’s organizations only hope to and for that I can say that I am proud to have served with all of you. My goal since the first day that I set foot on Temple’s campus has been to be the most competitive Pre-PT student that I could be. The…

Lilly has been potty trained for a decent amount of time, that being said, according to Freud she would be in what is called the “Anal Stage”, which is where a child begins to discover certain demands of society such as using the bathroom. However, I believe her to still be partially stuck in the “Oral Stage”, which is a fixation on things like sucking for means of gratification.…

There are various behaviours that individuals exhibit that can be traced to childhood experiences. In understanding this, theoretical models have been developed to not only help explain why individuals exhibit behaviours, but how these behaviours transpire. Analyzing Sigmund Freud’s Psychoanalytic Theory with respect to his stages of psychosexual development, while also drawing on aspects of Alfred Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory is necessary to assess Myra’s personality impediments. Thus, an…

In this report, I will look at a case study and talk about human development and behaviour at different life stages using theories from different psychological approaches. Erik Erikson was one of the writers who developed the psychodynamic approach to psychology. His theory is known as the psychosocial theory of development as he believed that a person’s development depends on their social class, culture and their norms for the society that they live in. According to Erik Erikson (1902) a…

Every human life begins with infancy and every infant needs proper rearing. The way we grow and shape our young has varied throughout the centuries and there have been many theories on what is right and what is wrong. Every theory must have its theorist, and the three chosen for this paper are no different. The theories and theorists I have chosen are Sigmund Freud with his theory of psychosexual stages, Maria Montessori with her theory of the planes of development, and lastly, John Piaget with…

The concept of understanding an individual’s personality is very complex. Every person has their own unique combination of qualities that form their character. However, there are certain maladaptive qualities that become harmful to the individual and how they function in society. Because understanding the unique factors that create an individual personality can be difficult, theories help us point out maladaptive behaviors that are not seen as normal in society. According to Barbara Engler…

psychoanalysis, introduced the term ‘Oedipus complex’ for the first time in his book, ‘Interpretation of Dreams” (1899). He opined that the concept is a desire for sexual involvement with the parent of the opposite sex, which produces a sense of competition with the parent of the same sex and a crucial stage in the normal developmental process (Freud, 1913). In other words, Freud used the term to refer to a stage in the development of young boys. He assumed that in early development, around the…
