Document Summary
Placed more emphasis on conscious mind (ego) and on social motives rather than sexual or aggression related ones (id) Carl jung, karen korney, and alfred adler. Reject freud"s emphasis on the unconscious and uncovering the unconscious. Contend childhood social experiences influence adult personality/ attachment patterns. Right about general topics, but wrong about some specifics. Credited on drawing attention to vast unconscious. Addressing conflicts between id and social restraints. Identifying forms of defense mechanisms/ unconscious terror-management defenses. Mainly studied his patients who were victorian women. Freud"s concept of repression (view of the unconscious) Gender identity develops earlier than freud theorized and is possible without influence of same-sex parent in home. Development is lifelong, not fixed in childhood. Parental influence is overestimated and peer influence is underestimated. As information processing that occurs without awareness. Theorists see personality as stable and enduring pattern of behavior. Describe differences rather than trying to explain them.
