...Psychodynamic Theories Jayme Terrigno PSY/405 October 6, 2014 Patti Tolar Psychodynamic Theories According to "Good Therapy" (2014), “The psychological interpretation of mental and emotional processes—is rooted in traditional psychoanalysis and draws from object relations, ego psychology, and self psychology” (para. 1). Psychodynamic theories draw most of their information from the idea of the unconscious, especially in the development of early childhood. This paper will describe personality, discuss the mail tenets of the theories presented, discuss how each theory applies to personality and behavior, and discusses the strengths and limitations of each theory. The degree to which individual humans vary from one another, both physically and psychologically, is quite astonishing and somewhat unique among species (Feist, Feist, & Roberts 2013). Personality id the physical characteristics of a person and how it reflects toward others. Personality is the thoughts and feelings that each person holds and shows to others. It is collection of a person, but these pieces of each person tend to remain the unchanged through the years. Psychodynamic theory was developed by a Sigmund Freud, a well-known theorist, and in his own words, scientist. Sigmund Freud began to combine philosophical speculations with a primitive scientific method. As a neurologist trained in science, Freud began to listen to his patients to find out what...

...Theories of Personality Aaron Poitra PSY/405 May 6, 2013 Edward Lopez PhD Theories of Personality Theories of personality generate a list of assumptions to coincide conflicting points of view. Early scientist had difficulty coming to an agreement on the source and motivation of personality. Personality theories were vulnerable to unique personalities of the scientists that created them. To evaluate some of the similarities and differences between the theories, a good start begins with Adler and Sullivan. Alfred Adler was the founder of individual psychology and its six tenets that describes the source for personality. Harry Sullivan founded interpersonal theory that gives significant importance to a social context “Without other people, humans would have no personality” (Feist & Feist, 2009, p.213). The two theories contain similarities and differences between them in regards to basic or underlying assumptions, deterministic views versus free will, and awareness of the self. Basic or Underlying Assumptions The basic or underlying assumptions of individual and interpersonal theories, share a social interest and social context respectively, as a source for personality development. Social interest by Adler explains individual connections to people around them. Society connects people together for safety, survival, and procreation. Individuals depend on each other as much as a child would depend on their parents. Likewise, Sullivan’s interpersonal theory...

...Freud vs Horney Freud and Horney, two who were crucial to psychology and the concepts of psychodynamic development. Although Honey started out as a firm believer and follower of Freud, she began to see some of his theories conflicted with how she saw them to be, causing some differences of opinions and eventually her departure from following his research. Freud and Horney both had their own theory about the psychosexual structure, which also included Feminine Psychology. According to Freud and the way he saw human biology, it is universally the same in its course of development, as was the conflicts that developed among the people that he observed, the same. Freud’s differences in views from Horney’s revealed his undervaluing of importance of certain roles played by some others relating to culture, environment, and human development past the point of puberty. Freud: Believed that an individual’s present behavior is determined by their infantile experiences that was a result to some degree by environmental influences. Freud stated that certain innate behaviors and the absence or lack of intimacy (sex) creates anxiety; individuals would utilize some defense mechanisms to compensate for their anxiety. Argument Horney: Believed that the growing child finds him or herself through life experiences, specifically through involvement and interaction with their family, which she found environment to be the most important foundation (Horney, 1950). Drive is the component she...

...Personality Overview You’re Name University of Phoenix PSY/405 Professor February 11, 2012 Personality Overview Theorists have discovered human behavior for many years. In dissimilarity these trait theories describe personality as it exist, “psychoanalytic theories of one’s personality helps to explain the differences among individuals by means of examining how these unconscious forces interchange with his or her thoughts, actions, and feelings. Psychoanalytic theory was discovered by our father of psychology Sigmund Freud” (Feist & Feist, 2009, para. 3). Many of Freud’s theories have placed in the field of medicine, religion, and anthropology. The theory of personality was discovered from Freud, and this has been one of the most persuasive and at, the same time, controversial, in the field of science. Melanie Klein gave some great contributions to the field and Klein’s relation theory, and Alder’s psychology theory. Both of these contributed his and her thoughts to the elaboration, exploitation, and elaboration to psychology. Alfred Alder Individual Psychology Alfred Alder (1870-1937) was in Freud’s inner circle and the first to leave. Individual psychology was Alder’s idea. “Instead of seeing behavior by unconscious forces, believed it is purposeful and goal-directed” (Bottome, 1939, p. 4). The ability to choose and create was Alder’s belief. He also believed that he or she has goals in life that provide a good source of his or her own motivations, especially...

...Klein vs. Erikson Debate Jamie Salas, Jessica Borrero, Melondy Moore, Reshunna Robbins, Roxanne Luck, Shayna Parks 6/29/15 PSY-405 Patti Toler Roxanne - In this debate we are going to argue the applications of Melanie Klein’s Objection Relations Theory and Erik Erikson’s Post-Freudian Theory in regards to their describing of individual personality characteristics along with interpersonal relations. Team Klein will begin the debate: Jessica - On the positive aspects of Klein’s object theory on individual personality characteristics is how an infant’s experience can shape their future personality. One is the object of the breast, which later perceives total control and this drives satisfaction called the id. According to Burch (1988), “Good experiences or phantasies of the breast are split off from bad ones and internalized”. These experiences help shape the relationship with others in adulthood. Interpersonal relations with the object of the breast create love, comfort and gratification towards the mother, and others. A tendency to relate these feeling with others can create a good structure of positive relationships and fantasy-like quality of life. Team Erikson will now oppose: Melondy - Klein did face some criticism from others about her theory and the techniques that she used. She started her study by working with children but found out that this technique had its downfalls due to the fact that the children were...

...Personality Overview Different theories permit different perspectives and because there are many personalities that vary tremendously from each other, different theories are needed for a greater understanding of oneself. How well these theories work and explain one’s personality can be seen best if two are chosen and are compared against each other. By doing so, one can learn more about their strengths and weaknesses, about their assumptions, limitations, and about what is taken into consideration when trying to provide an explanation about one’s personality. Certainly, the pick is not an easy one because there are so many interesting theories explaining why one is the way he or she is. However, when trying to discuss any kind of personality it is almost impossible not to stumble on the assumptions and propositions made by Sigmund Freud. Most likely is it due to the fact that he is still the best-known theorist concerning personality research, while at the same time, he is one who received plenty of controversy regarding his theory. Even more interesting when one is writing about Freud and his theory is when one chooses to compare it against another theory. By doing so, one can research a theory more deeply. In this case, the other theory is the psychoanalytic social theory developed by Karen Horney. By reading further, one shall see how each theory differs from one other. Based on the given information, one may be more likely to conclude which theory or perhaps both...

...Sigmund Freud PSY/405 Sigmund Freud Personality Overview While Sigmund Freud’s theories were and still are extremely controversial and highly criticized, he was one of the most influential psychologists of his time. Freud’s theory of personality, developmental stages, and defense mechanisms are a few of his contributions to psychology. To further understand Freud is to also understand why his theories are criticized. His contributions and theories have brought up much debate, but have also paved the way for new theories. Theory of Personality Structure “Freud’s greatest contribution to personality theory is his exploration of the unconscious and his insistence that people are motivated primarily by drives of which they have little or no awareness” (University of Phoenix, 2009, p. 23). Before the 1920’s, Freud’s model of personality and mental life consisted of the conscious and unconscious mind; which described our thought processes and opened exploration of the unaware mind. Freud believed that people’s behaviors were motivated by things they were unaware of. Freud’s personal experiences, his readings, and exploration of his dreams influenced his understanding of human personality. Through exploration of his dreams, Freud came up with the belief that humans are motivated by things which they are unaware of. For instance, childhood memories that have been suppressed and later cause behaviors that are unexplainable. The suppressed memories are motivations for behaviors...
