19368. Sigmund Freud: Controversies and Enduring Legacy.

This paper provides an overview and analysis of the life and work of Sigmund Freud, considering his early life and influences, his development of psychoanalysis, his major theories, and his personal life and death. It is argued that Freud’s unsubstantiated and widely discredited theory on the primacy of sexual motivations, as well as his views on women and his sense of self-importance made him a polarizing and controversial figure in modern psychology. Despite the fact that much of Freud’s work was discredited and dismissed by the mid-20th century, his ideas on the unconscious, transference, and dream interpretation had a continuing influence. Moreover, in recent years, research and scholarly reflection have provided at least partial support for Freud’s theories on memory, dreams, and the unconscious, thus securing his legacy as a pivotal psychological theorist. APA Style. 11 pages, 42 footnotes, 18 bibliographic sources, 2,890 words.

18653. Jung’S Model of the Psyche.

This paper notes that the psychological theorist Carl Jung was influenced by Sigmund Freud, but developed a model of the psyche that was somewhat different from Freud’s. According to Jung, the psyche includes such components as ego, self, persona, anima/animus, and the shadow. A major goal of Jungian therapy is to attain wholeness of self (or “integration”) by accessing the unconscious mind and interpreting its messages. The methods recommended by Jung include dream work, analysis of symbols, art therapy and movement therapy. KEYWORDS: psychology Jung Freud. Psychotherapy psychoanalysis Jungian. APA Style. 12 pages, 33 footnotes, 9 bibliographic sources. 2,914 words. 		  $84
 

18128. Freudianism Versus Behaviorism.

This paper compares the psychological worldviews of Freudianism and Behaviorism. Both worldviews are based on scientific assumptions and both acknowledge the existence of determinism (i.e., there are forces that influence human lives).
