Study Notes
Psychodynamic Theory
- Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) dominated the psychodynamic field for almost half a century.
- Psychodynamic approaches share common elements, including:
- The unconscious and conscious affecting personal functioning in deeply personal and dynamic ways.
- Early child-rearing practices as important in personality development.
- Examining the past and its dynamic interaction with conscious and unconscious factors in therapy.
Psychoanalysis
- Developed by Sigmund Freud, a trained physician.
- Steeped in biological determinism, emphasizing instincts and drives affecting behavior.
- Parenting styles within the first five or six years of life interact with instincts and inherent personality structures to produce one's personality.
- Freud proposed the concept of instincts, including the life instinct (Eros), which meets basic needs for love, intimacy, sex, and survival.
Analytical Psychology (Jungian Therapy)
- Developed by Carl Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst.
- Departed from Freud's pessimistic, deterministic view of human nature and childhood sexuality.
- Jung believed individuals can become conscious of unconscious forces and integrate them into a healthier way of living.
- Jung's theory of personality includes:
- Unique psychological types, including attitudes of extraversion and introversion.
- Mental functions of thinking, feeling, sensing, and intuiting.
- Eight cognitive functions influencing perception and information processing.
- Each individual has a dominant function shaping their personality.
- Jung's theory is closely related to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), a psychological assessment tool used to identify an individual's personality type.
