Freud Vs Jung

Sigmund Freud’s theory of personality is a method that he had developed for mental illness and human behavior. Freud believed that the process that individuals went through their stages of life developed personality, psychosexual stages. He also believed that the unconscious mind, the psyche, dream analysis, and defense mechanisms were also affected by these psychosexual stages. In 1990-1905 Freud developed topographical model that described the features, functions and structure of the mind (CITE HERE). This theory is compared to an iceberg, the conscious part of our mind is what we see above water and the unconscious is all of that which is below the surface of the water. With this finding he developed the psyche in 1923, which was a structural

Jung believed that the experiences that happened during childhood would determine the individual’s future behavior and the way they are shaped by the future. Carl Jung had a different view of Libido then Freud, in 1948 Jung said that libido was not just sexual energy but instead a generalized psychic energy (CITE HERE). This psychic energy that he was referring to was the motivation of an individual spiritually, internally and creatively (CITE HERE).

It is important that adults understand the unique and private beliefs and strategies that each individual create during their childhood stages. Adler believed in the unity of the individual, he said that each aspect of an individual’s personality goes in the same direction.
