Document Summary
Modern writers who work to make sense of freud may shade their summaries in various ways that try to maintain the spirit, if not the letter, of freudian law. Peter gay"s (1988) monumental biography of freud includes a thorough and insightful survey of the development of freud"s theory and a firm defense of it. Charles brenner"s (1974) useful outline of psychoanalytic concepts merges freud"s ideas with. Neo-freudian psychology: anna freud, carl jung, alfred adler, erik erikson, karen horney, bruno bettelheim, Harry stack sullivan, melanie klein, d. w. winnicott, henry murray, and john. Most neo-freudians used the same research methods as freud himself. This approach allows psychoanalysts of every stripe to cover a lot of theoretical ground. It also invokes a style of argument that more conventionally scientific psychologists find frustrating: common themes of neo-freudian thought. Most neo-freudians differ from freud in 3 major respects.
