The two theorists that come to mind when the term or the subject of psychoanalysis is Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. Arguably the founding fathers of the psychoanalytic theory in psychology. Both men have similar views but choose different ways to come about those ideas. Freud being famous for his views and being considered the father of psychoanalysis and the emphasis of the unconscious mind. A follower of Freud but disagreed with some of his theories causing Jung to break off and create his own theories in the collective unconscious. Sigmund Freud (1856-1939), born in Frieburg, Moravia which is known as the Chezch Republic. Having a stern father and a big family was the foundation for one of his well known theories of the Oedipus complex. …show more content…
With high expectations of continuing the family tradition of being a man and teacher of faith like his father and the family members before him Jung chose not to follow in their footsteps. After moving to Basil, Jung decided to attend the University of Basil to study medicine as well as other sciences such as biology, and archeology. On top of his scientific studies Jung had a curious mind and went on to pursue different studies of philosophy and Christian …show more content…
Jung agrees with Freud and his thought process of the structural constructs, he disagrees with there only being three parts of the unconscious mind. Jung’s structural construct of the psyche is more in-depth than Freud’s. Jung uses the similar basic construct of Freud and agreeing with the differences in the types of consciousness in the mind. Jung uses the ‘shadow’ instead of the id which is the unknown concepts of one’s personality and the unknown choices that we make based upon good and evil side of everyone. In other words, our shadow which resides in our unconscious mind are the ‘skeletons in our closet’ which can be described as the unwanted and the rejected thoughts that we have by our ego and our
Psychoanalysis is a theory that explores personality traits on the conscious and unconscious level. According to TheFreeDictionary.com, “Psychoanalysis is the most intensive form of an approach to treatment called psychodynamic therapy. Psychodynamic refers to a view of human personality that results from interactions between conscious and unconscious factors. The purpose of all forms of psychodynamic treatment is to bring unconscious mental material and processes into full consciousness so that the patient can gain more control over his or her life” (Psychoanalytic Treatment). Sigmund Freud is the founder of the Psychoanalysis Theory. He had many followers. One of those followers was Jung. As time went on, Jung’s perspective on personality
Unlike Freud’s one unconscious theory, Jung had personal and collective unconscious. The personal unconscious view are unique for each person (Feist & Feist , 2009, p. 105). The collective unconscious has connections to ancestral past of the entire species like having psychic abilities (Feist & Feist , 2009, p. 105). Jung would have been looking at Anne’s case from both sides. When Anne vacillates from on mental state to anot...
Freud’s understanding of the unconscious is organized into three echelons: the conscious mind, the preconscious mind and the unconscious mind. The conscious mind involves everything we are cognizant of. The preconscious mind signifies regular recollections. The unconscious mind contains emotions, reflections, memoirs and compulsions that are unknown to our conscious perception. Along with the conscious, the preconscious and the unconscious, there are the three additional elements to Freud’s structure of personality: the id, ego and superego. Unlike Freud, Jung had a more optimistic theory of the unconscious.
After reading the chapters from Jung, the elephant in the room cannot be ignored. Based on what I’ve gathered Jung forged a friendship with Freud for personal gains. Freud anticipated his “death” before it occurred, in the metaphorical sense; publication of Jung’s chapter “The Sacrifice” which Jung lied to Freud about when questioned about death and death wishes. Coincidentally, once Jung obtained the knowledge he sought by befriending Freud, the publication resulted negatively for Jung despite not adhering to Freud’s request: strong emphasis on sexuality with the unconscious. Consequently Jung was deterred from his path in life. In certain instances, Jung mentions dwellin...
Sigmund Freud was born in 1856 in Moravia, which was then part of the Austrian Empire and is now in the Czech Republic. He spent most of his life in Vienna, from where he fled, in 1937, when the Nazis invaded. Neither Freud (being Jewish) or his theories were very popular with the Nazis and he escaped to London where he died in 1939.
Sigmund Freud was born in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He was born into a Jewish family in 1856. As a child growing up, Freud wanted to attend medical school to become a neurologist. His object of study and his entire life's work was destined to be the exploration of man's unconscious mind. Freud believed that our conscious thoughts are determined by something hidden know as our unconscious impulses. Freud recognized the irrational as a potential danger. He believed irrationality was a "comprehensible object of science." Man was said not to be a rational being, guided by inner forces. Sigmund Freud's philosophy was that a man's actions are not always rational. And such an idea flew in the face of the ideals of the Enlightenment in no less a way than had Nietzsche's notion that "God is dead." Sigmund also concluded that people are not good by nature. Humans are people that's instincts provoke aggressiveness. Influenced by World War I and its aftermath, Freud broke away from the Enlightenment era and his philosophy that stated that man was inherently good. Along with Freud, many artist and writers followed as they rebelled against traditional artistic and literary ways. With this movement, it created what is now known as Modernism.
Carl Jung is best known for his exploration of the unconscious mind, developed through his education in Freudian theory, mythology, religion, and philosophy.
Sigmund Freud was born on May 6, 1856, in Freiberg, Moravia, a small town in Austro-Hungarian. His parents were Amalia and Jacob Freud. His father was an industrious wool merchant with a happy and witty personality. His mother was a cheerful and vivacious woman. He was one of nine siblings. He was the first-born child of Amali and Jacob; however, two male siblings where from his father’s first marriage. When he was a young boy, his family moved to Vienna where he lived most of his life. At the age of twenty-six, he fell madly in love with Martha Bernays when she was visiting one of his sisters. Shortly thereafter, they married and had six children of their own three boys and three girls. His children describe him as a loving and compassionate man.
Jung has devoted his life to clinical practice and the development of psychological theories, but also explored other areas of the humanities: from the study of comparative religion, philosophy, and sociology to criticism art and literature. We owe him the concepts of “archetype,” “collective unconscious,” and “synchronicity.” Founding father of the cultural psychology, he gathered around his works generations of therapists, analysts, and artists. Despite the controversy regarding his relations with the Nazi regime (his role as a secret agent of the Allies long remained unknown), Jung has profoundly influenced the social sciences in the twentieth century.
Sigmund, son of Amalia and Jacob Freud, was born on May 6, 1856 in Freiburg, a rural town which was then a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. A confused child, he experienced extreme love, desire, and hate which ultimately inspired him to study human development. School consumed virtually all of Freud's time until he graduated from the University of Vienna in 1881, with a degree in medicine (Stevenson).
There have been many theorists when in comes to Psychology but the main three are Sigmund Freud, who discovered psychoanalysis, Carl Rogers, who founded the Humanistic approach, and Albert Bandura who discovered the social cognitive theory. All three of these individuals are important and their opinions are highly valued. Each of them gives different ideas and attempt to give an explanation about the way personality develops.
Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) was a Swiss psychiatrist and former disciple of Freud who tried to bridge the gap between psychology and spirituality. Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung believed that archetypes are models of people, behaviors or personalities. Jung suggested that the psyche was composed of three components: the ego, the personal unconscious and the collective unconscious. According to Jung, the ego represents the conscious mind while the personal unconscious contains memories, including those that have been suppressed. Carl Jung is a great bridge for Westerners to a way of life which can, after all, help us access those truths.
When he were to look back on his childhood, the first thing that would come to his mind was a dream he once had; he was lying in bed, peacefully asleep, when the dreamt up a godly figure he had never seen before. This dream is what drove him to study mentally ill patients in Burgholzli Hospital in Zürich, Switzerland. While studying the patients (and later himself), he grew to finally become confident in the idea of a universal psyche blueprint that everyone had in their programed mind. For years he would play with the name of his idea, but in 1919 the word “Archetype” sunk its way into one of his paper. Arche, meaning beginning, and type, meaning pattern or underlying form, was just the word to describe his discovery. Jung spent many years on his research on archetypes, soon growing to describe them as “psycho-physical patterns existing in the universe” because he believed they came from surrounding events and cultures.Then, it was discovered that archetypes were not only found in the unconscious mind, but in the world around us as well. The more Jung looked into the subject of Archetypes, he grew to believe that they were these pre-personality traits. The most common ones are the hero, the maiden, the wise old man, the magician, the earth mother, the witch or sorceress, and the trickster. Each character has a diffèrent pair of words or meanings to it; the hero is protection and rescue, the maiden is purity and
You’ve probably heard or seen of the classic “patient on the couch” form of therapy where a patient is asked to lay on a mysterious looking couch next to a chair where the therapist is to sit. The session is started by the therapist asking the patient to talk freely about what might be troubling them whether it be a dream or parts of daily life. The therapist then goes on to pick apart your discussion and go into detail on parts which he believes is where the problems are arising from, and no doubt somehow linking it back to your childhood in some way or another. All the while taking notes and on your mental state. This of course is the foundation for Freud’s theory of psychoanalysis, and is for many, an integral part of modern
