Analytical Evaluation of Freud Essay -- essays research papers

Based on the past information and the information I acquired during the eon of this course I chose to do my evaluation on Erik Erikson using the classical psychoanalysis of Sigmund Freud and Carl Rogers using the non-Freudian / interpersonal approaching from Adler and Jung. Since there is no way to single out if either theory is set or wrong it is imperative that we discover our own theory among the popular ones and derive our own method of practice base on our current knowledge. This is done by comparing and evaluating each psychologist and their own theories to derive a common ground among each of them.     In response to Erik Erikson and his approach on ego psychology he was an insecure child growing up who had problems with identicalness amazement. According to Freud and the classical psychoanalysis, this could possibly be a objurgation of his Oedipus complex in where he can not pose with his father nor can he get close to his mother. Since he is dea ling with his own confusion of his own identity he can no longer have feelings of closeness with either parent causing him to feel abandoned. His father abandoned him at an early age and so he never had that feeling of closeness with his father. Being as though he did not have that male graphic symbol during his growing up he can not feel that sense of love coming from either parent which ca intentiond him to come up with the ego identity model in his own practices.      Freud didnt exactly invent the idea of the conscious versus unconscious intellectual, but he certainly was responsible for making it popular. The conscious mind is what you are aware of at any particular moment, your present perceptions, memories, thoughts, fantasies, feelings, what have you. Working closely with the conscious mind is what Freud called the preconscious, what we might today call "useable memory" anything that can easily be made conscious, the memories you are not at the moment thinking about but can readily guide to mind. Now no-one has a problem with these two layers of mind. But Freud suggested that these are the smallest parts      Freud created a sense of super ego where you internalize the parental standards, ideas, and prohibitions. Since Erikson had no parents to identify with his sense of standards were nonexistent. He had a feeling of inferiority in rel... ...p  Obviously, everyone suffers from inferiority in one form or another. For example, Adler began his theoretical work considering organ inferiority, that is, the concomitant that each of us has weaker, as well as stronger, parts of our anatomy or physiology. almost of us are born with heart murmurs, or get around heart problems early in life Some have weak lungs, or kidneys, or early liver problems Some of us stutter or lisp Some have diabetes, or asthma, or polio Some have weak eyes, or poor hearing, or a poor muscle system Some of us have innate ten dencies to being heavy, others to being skinny Some of us are retarded, some of us are deformed Some of us are terribly tall or terribly short And so on and so on.      Both Erikson and Rogers possessed different qualities that can be attributed to other psychologists to evaluate themselves and their performance in the world of psychology. Each different theorist created a different contribution to psychology and neither one is right or wrong. It is up to each individual person to create their own image of what is right or wrong and what they want to teach in their lives and use in their every day life.
