Individually, Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung had extraordinarily thought-provoking perspectives on the substance of the unconscious. Freud approached the subject of the unconscious by supposing awareness existed in stratums and there existed considerations occurring beneath the surface. He possessed a pessimistic obsession with the mechanisms of the unconscious, and surmised that it was motivated by instinct and stayed in unremitting turmoil. He believed in a rational, measurable approach that was…

During my educational career I was a participant in program called The College Crusades of Rhode Island. The College Crusades of Rhode Island is a college readiness program. Since the third grade I toured several colleges, learned how apply for college, studied good academic writing, was educated on financial welfare and had many classes on understanding how to choose your career. When it came to choosing my own career my view was stuck between what is practical and what do I love? I had a flare…

• No, being accurate is not the same as being reliable and valid. If a test is accurate that means the results represent the true value of a measurement and being reliable is getting the same results each time the test is taken. Being valid means if a test or experiment measure what it was intended to measure. A test must be valid so the result can be used accurately. • According to Freud, you can tell a person is stuck in the oral stage if they are unconsciously in need of stimulation with…

The Bimini Road is something that you probably haven't even heard about before. The Bimini Road, also called the Bimini Wall, is an underwater road that has a very mysterious creation that nobody knows about. It has been a conundrum for a very long time, but there are also many theories to what it is. I believe that it was once a wall that was encircling an ancient city. The Bimini Road is located north of the island of Bimini. It was first discovered in 1968 by Joseph Mason Valentine. The road…

Sigmund Freud developed psychodynamic theories on personality. According to him there are three elements to our personality. First the ID, second the ego and third the superego. He believed that each element kept the other in check – meaning if all elements are well balanced the person is having a healthy personality. Freud also developed a theory where he believed that our subconscious developed defense mechanisms to help us cope with anxiety and conflict. Freud also developed the most…

{No intro yet or conclusion}Psychological criticism is a method in which reading as dictated by Freud is applied to analyse texts, as Freud argues that the main argument to this theory is that texts such as dreams present unconscious desires of the author. Ursula K. Le. Guin is best known “for inventing fantasy worlds and uncommon experiences in such a way that readers can see themselves in the stories’ reflections,” as X.J Kennedy and Dana Gioia pointed out. Le. Guin demonstrates this in “The…

Personality development can be explained through a psychoanalytic approach using the theories of Sigmund Freud. Sigmund Freud was an Austrian physician who treated patients with mental illness. He was a great thinker that developed numerous psychological theories that had their fair share of controversy. Freud believed human behavior was due to the interaction between the id, ego, and superego; the three components of personality. The id is the source of the inherited, instinctual drives known…

Freud created many contributions to Psychology. Among those contributions is a famous theorem known as the theory of personality. The theory of personality can be broken down into three parts, the id, the superego, and the ego. It’s what Freud believes what shapes a person’s personality. The id is what satisfies the minds basic urges and needs. It’s the part that thinks unconsciously, meaning it would make someone do something without thinking about the consequence of that action. The superego…

Psychodynamic therapy originated as a divergence from psychoanalytic therapy and theory when Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung disagreed on multiple elements of theory and how therapy should be conducted. Jung did not agree with Freud’s belief that sexuality was the main motivational principle for human beings. Jung also felt Freud was mistaken regarding a lack of importance based on spiritual and transpersonal elements of the psyche in psychoanalytic theory (Safran & Kriss, 2014, p. 28). These…
