Anna Freud

Freud found that by enabling people to recall and bring into conscious awareness previous events which often involved intolerable emotions that were not expressed at the time of the event, he was able to cure many hysterical symptoms which his patients suffered from that had no physiological basis, such as paralysis, blindness and loss of memory. Freud supported this view with one very famous case – the case of Anna O. Anna suffered from paralysis in the right arm for which there was no apparent cause. In therapy Anna revealed that one evening she had been nursing her very ill father and she had begun dozing in a chair by his bed with her arm flung across the back of the chair. In the half light she imagined that she saw a large black snake…

The Life of Anna Freud Born in Vienna on December 3, 1985, Anna Freud was the youngest daughter of Sigmund and Martha Freud.

Anna spent her summers at health camps to help her try to…

In J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, scholars tend to agree that Holden Caulfield feels inferior towards others, which lowers his self-esteem, so in order to gain confidence with himself, he feels the need to be superior. Finally, in the article, Anna Freud and J.D. Salinger’s Holden Caulfield by Robert Coles, Coles introduces a new way of how Holden Caulfield is superior. Coles and Freud discuss different ways Holden Caulfield influences our youth and how that makes him superior…

Identity is a common technical term used in contemporary sociological social psychology. The term “personal identity” was virtually unknown in sociology before the 1940s. (ERIKSON 5). Identity was a very big concern in the life of Erik Erikson throughout his childhood and even into his adulthood. Erikson was born in Frankfurt, Germany to a Danish mother, Karla Abrahamsen and Dr. Theodore Homburger, whom Erikson was lead to believe was his biological father. As it turned out, Dr. Homburger was a…

I thought that knowing the definition would help find my character, but I feel even more perplexed. They say that you are your own worst critic, and I guess they are actually right. I don 't feel like I fit my name. I don 't resemble the picture of grace or favor. I know for a fact that my name and personality have no correlation, mostly due to the fact that I trip on stairs, wake up looking like I’m half dead, and can’t text and walk at the same time. Needless to say, my identity and name comes…

pros and cons to optional solutions to solving the issue stated above. Such as MTV’s stand up program, the Be Nice program, and school interventions. Both the stand up and be nice program both contain social skill assumptions that aren’t really tested. Through her research she provided research that reflects that interventions allows for the best chance of change and improving aspects of the Bronfedbrenner’s Social-Ecological Model.

the importance of her body to the empire. In Anna Lombard, the dynamic of problematic sexuality and desire are enacted in the relationship between Anna and Gerald, and Victoria Cross questions the stringent British views towards gender roles by embedding the female character of Anna with the sexual appetite that is approved of in a male. In Burma, Gerald is told that he must “settle down, take a wife, and live regularly” rather than fretting over a girl abroad (Cross 36). Here the word “regular”…

Even though the phrase “point of view” is just three measly words, it is one of the most important choices an author needs to make while deciding how they are going to write their story. Will they write in first person and use “I”, and “we”, or write in 3rd person and address people by their names or use pronouns like “he” or “they”? Although many people decide to write in third person point of view, both the stories The Georges and the Jewels by Jane Smiley, and Black Beauty: The Autobiography…

However, one novel in particular that sparked world literature fame was Anna Karenina (1877). Anna Karenina was and still is a masterpiece because it incorporates all the elements of humanity such as lustful passions, pride, conflict, marriage, and death. An in depth analysis of Anna Karenina is that it was a heavily controversial novel. Convoluted plot lines, character development, relationships, and social commentary, gave meaning to this novel. The concept of writing this novel came to…
