Document Summary
Neo psychoanalytic approach: carl jung"s analytical theory of personality development. Father was the village minister and son of a respected physician. Mother was the daughter of an eccentric theologian who had visions and also believed in the occult. Freud thought of jung as his son and heir. He wanted to disagree with freud but freed did not take it. He also disagreed with his emphasis on sexuality, the unconscious mind, wasn"t letting jung analyze his dreams because freed didn"t want to be vulnerable to him. Complex: he thought duality existed e. g. optimistic and pessimistic, free will/deterministic, he didn"t take one side of the fence he rode the fence. Dialectical: opposing forces is part of his theory, all of us have these opposing forces and that is where our personality is shaped from, they can be from either the unconscious or conscious level. Human being are both irrational and rational people: how we blend this together helps determine our personality.
