From a psychodynamic lens, Jackie’s symptoms can potentially be argued from an ego, object relations and self psychology perspective. Another aspect that may further assist in understanding Jackie and his symptoms is to delineate Jackie’s level of functioning according to the levels of personality organization. Ego psychology focuses on the tripartite model, in which the Id, Ego and Superego are conflict driven. The Id can be seen as Jackie’s anxiety toward public situations. As the id is the most
Following the publication of the book The Analysis of the Self, Heinz Kohut created a revolutionary theory to represent a new branch of psychoanalysis: self-psychology (O'Leary, Trumpeter, Watson, & Weathington, 2008). The idea of self-psychology is based on a series of adaptations made within adolescence following a general pattern. Firstly, the child must develop the “self”, which consists of the child’s feelings and thoughts on the surrounding environment. Born with a “nuclear self”, children
that defensively excluded experiences, needs, and impulses represent only a small fraction of the totality of unconscious processes. (Cortina & Liotti, 2007). Research has shown that there are numerous ways to look at the unconscious. Cognitive psychology has acknowledged many unconscious processes,
According to Fairbairn, early object relationships with satisfying objects leads to ego integration. The satisfying object becomes internalized as the “accepting object”, and stays within the ego becoming what he called the central ego. Conversely, if one grows up with unsatisfying, bad object relationships, such as those with abusive or unresponsive caregivers, a pathological eversion from external reality
psychoanalysis, humor and account of the ego can be applied to The Comedy of Errors. Throughout this essay we I will address the following questions: Can we actually use psychoanalysis in analyzing Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors? How does this particular play relate to Freud’s understanding of humour? Does Freud’s account of the ego fit Shakespeare’s characterization of the self? Freudians psychoanalytical theory, his view on humor and his account of the ego can be applied to Shakespeares play The

In Lord Of The Flies, Golding uses the Freudian Theory of the Id, Ego, and SuperEgo to make a second level of the story to deepen the meaning of the book as well as backing it up with the science of psychology to illustrate how the children in the island
works. Many consider Sigmund Freud the father of psychology. According to Freudian theory, humans are controlled by three personalities throughout life; the id, ego, and super ego. However, we are not born with all three. Instead, “we are born with our id” (“Structural Model”). At the age of three, the second part of the unconscious mind, the ego, is developed. Later, when the child is five, or ending his or her phallic stage of development, the super ego structure is developed (“Structural Development”)

Freud also separated the psyche into three different categories including, Super Ego, ego, and id. “ A Rose For Emily” is mainly about the super ego of Emily that is what society thinks and Miss Emily’s conscious, and the ego of Emily, which is her conscious
Sophocles, the author of “Oedipus the King” led individuals such as Freud to critically analyze this play specifically for its psychological content. Freud utilized this play to expand his dream analysis research as well as the inspiration of the infamous “Oedipus Complex.” Oedipus operates under freewill, yet his fate has been determined by the Gods although the end result may require a winding path of less than obvious events that occur to achieve the prophecy. The supporting roles in “Oedipus
Lord Of The Flies is possibly one of the most complex novels of the twentieth century. This complexity and depth is evident when the characters are compared to the psychological teachings of Freud. The book shows examples of this psyche in the characters Jack, Piggy and Ralph and how they change during their time on the island. Towards the end of the eighth chapter it became very apparent that Piggy and Jack both had two very different ideas on how they would survive. Jack thinks that hunting
When discussing the psychology of Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights, and more specifically, the psychoanalysis of the central character Heathcliff, critics are quick to use the aid of the theories brought forth by Sigmund Freud. Freud states that people’s personalities consist of three parts: the id, ego, and superego. It is only when these parts of a person’s psyche are in balance, that that individual can be mentally healthy. If some traumatic event causes a shift in power between these elements
psychoanalysis. The theory of psychoanalysis focuses on the concept of how our unconscious thoughts, feelings, and emotions play an active role in our daily lives. The id, ego, and superego are the three mental zones that encompass our psyche. Each zone has a specific function: The id functions on the pleasure principle; the ego on the protection of the individual; and the superego on protection of society. The degree of which each zone has been developed can be broken down and then analyzed. These
Coined by theorist Sigmund Freud, the psychodymanic approach to therapy revolves around the interaction between the conscious and the unconscious. It is believed that the mind is made up for three entities; the Id, Ego,& Superego. The id is known for its pleasure seeking drive and impulsiveness. Often referred to as the “devil on your shoulder” the id exhibits very little self control and is often linked with the unconscious mind. Driven by sex, violence, and impulsivity, the id has been known to
survival is the way the human psyche plays an active role in humans needs to fend for itself and continue to survive. The human psyche is the totality of the human mind, conscious and unconscious. The three main categories of the human psyche are the id, ego and superego. Survival is the drive to stay alive or the fact of remaining alive, especially after facing life-threatening danger. On a controversial level, some humans look at survival in different ways. One example of survival would be a person who
Ivana Paternina PHL 100 Professor Sisman 15 March 2016 Final Paper It is very common for humans to wonder what it would be like to be able to live in someone else’s body. But how could this be achieved? Some philosophers might argue that this body swap could be possible. For Craig Schwartz, in the film Being John Malkovich, this body swapping dream was now a reality. Dualism and the psychoanalysis of Freud could be analyzed in the film Being John Malkovich by comparing and using the views of Rene
Montresor’s family and status. Without a well-developed ego, “the rational part of the mind”, how would it be possible to keep Montresor’s id in check? (Rennison 39) Considering this it is possible to conclude that Montresor’s ego is at fault, not able to suppress or no longer being able to suppress his id’s wishes. For this reason, Montresor is able to plan the murder and advance when he has Fortunato were he wants him. The super-ego helps the ego and is essentially “our sense of what is right and what
