Psychoanalysis. Freud and His Pupils:
Psychoanalysis was
originally used to designate the technique of free association which Freud used
in psychotherapy. Later it also came to
mean the theory which Freud constructed to explain the material which emerge in
psychotherapy. This can be considered from three different points of view:
1-The theory of mental structure.
2-The theory of libidinal development.
3-The economics of the mental dynamics.
The Unconscious:
Freud originally divided the mind into the conscious and the
unconscious. The unconscious consisted of the representation of the instinctual
forces which were always striving for expression in consciousness, and also of representations which had been
conscious but because of their conflict with the person s general attitudes had
been unconsciously forced into the unconscious or repressed.
The Structure of the Mind;
Freud divided the mind into three
dynamic systems: The Id, The super ego, and the ego.
1:The Id
This is the fundamental source of all psychic energy,
since it consists of all the instinctual needs striving for fulfillment. It
includes the instinct of aggression as well as the sexual instinct.
2:The Super ego
This is the conscience .In the Oedipal stage, the child
identifies with his parents and incorporates their standards of right and
wrong. This interjected parental image acquires energy from the id and from the
superego , which is partly unconscious .Since the parental image of the child
of 4 or 5 years of age capricious,
illogical , and even destructive, the superego may show these traits.
3:The Ego:
This has the task of balancing the
demands of the real world, the id , and the superego . It has no energy of its
own and has to borrow energy from the other two system.
Alfred Adler and Individual
Psychology:
Alfred
broke away from Freud partly because he could not accept the rigid discipline
of belief which Freud imposed on his
followers, and partly because his own work had let him to a point where he
could not accept the Oedipus complex as the basis of all neuroses.
Development of the Child:
The child s fundamental problem is the recognition of
his weakness and helplessness in relation to the world. In consequence, he
strives constantly to find some way of controlling his environment in order to
achieve his needs. This is done by acquiring skills, but it can also be
achieved by dominating adults and others who would then serve him.
Position in the Family:
The mode in which the striving occurs is strongly
influenced by the early life experiences in the family. Thus the only child ,
who is the center of attention , will try always to maintain his position . If other children appear , they may be seen as rivals.
The youngest child , who is always the weakest and most helpless in the family
, is always trying to catch up with the others . These patterns of behaviour
persist into adult life and becomes the "life style".
C.G Jung and Analytical Psychology
:
Jung did not reject the idea of the unconscious, but regarded it as composed of individual repressed
material and the inherited collective unconscious.
The Four Function :
These help the person to orientate himself .They are
sensation, intuition, feeling , and
thinking . These work in harmony in the normal individual and process the
information he receives , but if one function is exaggerated there is a
personality type. Sensation and intuition from one of opposed pairs and
thinking and feeling from another .Thus
sensation and intuition are different ways of dealing with perception , and
thinking and feeling are different ways of evaluating situations. As a rule, two
of the functions are prominent in consciousness, while the opposing pair are
more important in the unconscious.
Pavlov and the Neo-Pavlovians:
The Conditional Reflex(CR):-
An inborn or unconditional reflex (UCR) can be
associated with a neutral stimulus by
applying it in conjunction with the natural stimulus with evokes the reflex.
This produces a conditional reflex(CR). The conditional stimulus (CS) produces
as focus of activity in the brain and this links up with the focus of activity produced by the
unconditional stimulus (UCS).
Human Types and Neuroses:
In man, the UCR and the first signal system when
stimulated produce an immediate response associated with an autonomic response,
which is therefore an emotional response. The second signal system allows a
rational evaluation of the environment and corrects the emotional response of
the first signal system. This gives three personality types:
1. Average: in which the activity of the UCR and the first signal
system is balanced by the second signal system.
2. Thinker type: in which the second signal system dominated .
3. Artist type: in which the
CR and the first signal system play the major role.
