Marshal Bruce Mathers III who is also know as Eminem was born with great talent and determination. He faced many challenges in his life but his determination and commitment lead him to success. Eminem's life as a child wasn't easy since his father abandoned him when he was six months old. He lived with an abusive mother who never supported him and considered him as a worthless human being. According to Han Eysencks. Eminem would be categorized as extroverted because he was very active and energized. He loved to talk with people and express his feelings. He had great talent and wanted to show the world that he can rise to the top. Eminem became to be the king of rap and also a great actor. Eminem faced some difficulties throughout his life but he didn't let his problems stand in his way. The psychoanalytic approach states that all people have inner struggles and that's what Eminem had to overcome to fulfill his dreams. Freud's concept of the id, ego, superego showed that Eminem's id seemed to control his life. His ego also used defense mechanisms to try to avoid Eminem realizing his problems. According to Carl Jung, Eminem had a persona. He had dreams that sometimes separated him from reality. Keywords: persona, id,ego, superego, defense, psychoanalytic, Marshall Bruce Mathars III, who is famous by the name of "Eminem" was born on October 17, 1972 in Saint Joseph, Missouri. Eminem is from a mixed background. He is English, German, and Polish. Eminem's mother is named Deborah R. Mathars-Briggs and his father's name is Marshall Bruce Mathars, Jr. Eminem's childhood wasn't pleasant since his parents were divorced and his father abandoned him when he was six months old. His mother was only 15 years old when she had him and was... ... middle of paper ... .... It was difficult for him to easily trust someone. After all, she ended up betraying him which caused Eminem to become furious. The idea that he could have shot Kim's lover would have ruined his dreams. Eminem would have spent the rest of lis life in jail. Eminem was shocked that Kim was able to fool him. How could he be able to trust someone after that? I guess a person becomes gullible when they trust too much and heartbroken when that trust is gone. (Westerfil, 2012) In conclusion, I don't think Eminem has reached self actualization because not all of his needs were met. He has had some neurotic trends as well due to the fact that he lacked love and support from his parents. He was isolated and lonely at times which brought him anxiety. All of the theories mentioned above have been able to relate to Eminem's life and characterize certain behaviors and motives.

Personally, I don’t believe that me as a person has reached self-actualization. I think I’m somewhere around the esteem needs. I have fulfilled the physiological needs by having food, water, shelter, etc. The safety needs are met by safety from attacks and disease. The third hierarchy is fulfilled by affection from family and friends. The esteem need is half way met but not completely.
In life it can be tough and it’s a main concern on a lot of peoples mind to make it in life and not everyone has it easy or has an opportunity to take advantage of.

He also throws in some clips from his movie that he is at the same time promoting.

This paper analyzes Eminem’s, “When I’m Gone”, a song whose central theme is premised on the love for family and is evident on his conversation with his daughter, Hailie.

Eminem’s passion for music seems to have taken precedence over the love for his family. Hailie endures so much heartache and misses her father every time he leaves home for a global fame and success through music.
