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
Sigmund Freud was born on May 6, 1856, in Austria (?). His family moved to Vienna in 1860, and that is where Freud spent, mostly, the remainder of his life (?). Freud is considered the father of Psychoanalysis, the first acknowledged personality theory (?). His theory suggest that a person’s personality is controlled by their unconscious which is established in their early childhood. The psychoanalytic theory is made up of three different elements interacting to make up the human personality: the id, the ego, and the superego (?).
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...
Sigmund Freud is known as the founding father of psychology. If it wasn’t for Freud and his work psychology probably wouldn’t be around today (Javel, 1999). Although Freud had many followers there were some who didn’t agree with his work and found his work to be very controversial. There were also many who criticized his work, one of his most controversial and criticized work was his psychosexual stages of development and his believes about the famous “Oedipus Complex.” Psychoanalysis is the first known modality used to treat individuals with psychological disorders. Freud’s work was a foundation for many whether they believed in his work or not. From his work other psychologist
The view of the unconscious between Jung and Freud vary in different aspects. These famous psychologists corresponded in 1906, then finally met in 1907 and became friends rather quickly after that. Freud thought of Jung as his disciple, but after the years went by their friendship declined due to irreconcilable differences in the theory of psychoanalysis. Jung deemed that Freud was fixated on aggression and sexuality being the motivating dynamic in his theories. He also thought that Freud was excessively negative towards the theory of the unconscious. Eventually, the two parted ways after Jung left the International Psychoanalytic Congress.
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...
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.
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
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.
As a teenager, Jung led a solitary life. He did not care for school, and shied away from competition. When he went to boarding school in Basel, Switzerland, he was the victim of jealous harassment, and learned to use sickness as an excuse. He later went on to the University of Basel, intending to study archaeology, but instead decided to study medicine. After working under the famous neurologist, Krofft-Ebing, he discovered psychiatry. After graduating, Jung worked at a mental hospital in Zurich under Eugene Bleuler (who later discovered and named schizophrenia). In 1903, he married and at this time he was also teaching classes at the University of Zurich, working at his own private practice, and working on his theory of word association. He finally met Freud, in 1907, and they developed a friendship as the two compared theories. Their friendship eventually ended, and soon afterwards came WWI and a rough time of self-examination for Jung (which then led to his theories of personality). He retired as a psychiatrist in 1946, and died fifteen years later.
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.
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
He had wanted to be a research scientist but anti-Semitism forced him to choose a medical career instead and he worked in Vienna as a doctor, specialising in neurological disorders (disorders of the nervous system). He constantly revised and modified his theories right up until his death but much of his psychoanalytic theory was produced between 1900 and 1930.
