Freud was very influential in the field of psychology  Although many of his ideas aren’t thought to be accurate today, he helped to introduce the idea that personality and behavior can be analyzed scientifically.  ALSO Freud helped to develop compassion for people who had psychological disorders instead of simply seeing them as “weak”

Other psychologists who were influenced by Freud to study personality:  Carl Jung  Alfred Adler  Karen Horney

Karen Horney

a. Childhood experiences influence adult personality

b. Social relationships influence personality

Causes and Solutions of personality problems  i. Anxiety caused when parents treat children with indifference or harshness  ii. Children also become hostile when they are treated with hostility  iii. Love can offset effects of painful childhoods. (This is different from what Freud thought)

How do you deal with bad childhood experiences? 1. Move towards people 2. Move against People 3. Move away from people

Horney was different from Freud  Believed that people could recover from painful childhoods. Love later in life could help them to have meaningful relationships later in life.

Do you agree with Horney that love can help people to be able to have healthy relationships later?  Examples?

Carl Jung

1. Carl Jung  a. No Specific stages in development (unlike Freud)  b. Behaviors are predictible  c. Analytic Psychology-mysticism and religion influence human behavior  d. Collective Unconscious-a store of human concepts shared by all people across all cultures i. Archetypes: ideas and images of accumulated experiences of all human beings

Alfred Adler

Alfred Adler  a. Reason for development to overcome feelings of helplessness  b. Inferiority Complex: people are motivated by need to overcome feelings of inferiority  c. Compensate for obstacles. Example: If you are small as a child you might try harder to compensate for this by trying to be very athletic.  d. Sibling Rivalry (we’ll talk about this later)  e. Self Awareness
