The psychologists of this time focused on Ego psychology. Rather than analyzing the unconscious urges that make up our personality as Freud did with his [[Psychoanalytic aspects of personality|psychoanalytic theory]], they focused on the self (Ego) and how it changes and acts inside of the world. Some of the major psychologists of this time were: - Carl Jung - Erikson - Anne Freud - Adler ## Carl Jung ### Carl Jung's 3 Main Structures Of The Mind Inside His Analytic Theory ![[Pasted image 20230213103612.png]] The Ego: very similar to Freud's Ego in [[Psychoanalytic aspects of personality]]. Includes our conscious processing in the present and our sense of self. The Personal Unconscious: unconscious information which live beneath the service. It includes our habits. It includes both retrospective and prospective information. We literally *sense* the future sometimes. The Collective Unconscious: most controversial aspect of Jung's theory. He believed we share unconscious memories with all humans that have ever lived. ### Carl Jung's 4 Major Archetypes Archetypes are the innate, universal, unlearned, and hereditary models that organize how we experience and act in the world. ![[Pasted image 20230213103916.png]] ### How are these 4 archetypes similar to Sigmund Freud's 3 main structures of the mind? Inside of these archetypes the Self is like the Superego. It's the self-actualized self at the top of [[Maslow's Hierarchy]] of needs. The shadow self is like the Id. ## Alfred Adler ### What was Alfred Adler's main belief in Individual Psychology? He believed people strive to overcome adversity and give a contribution to society. ### What were the two types of superiority complexes Adler believed existed? - Inferiority complex: outward projections of inferiority. - Superiority complex: outward projections of superiority. Often because person is seretly super insecure. ### What were Adler's three tasks and strivings in his individual psychology theory? Aggression drive: using ones anxieties of inferiority to energize us toward the opposite behavior Masculine protest: our protest against adults to become independent individuals ourself Perfection striving: creation of fictional goals to motivate us to become the best version of ourselves ### How did Adler believe birth order influenced individuals psychology? First born. Tend to become independent, responsible, leaders that trend more toward more societal expectations. Second born: in competition with the first born. They tend to differentiate themselves from normal societal expectations and veer toward other goals. Last born: get incredible amounts of attention. They suffer from inferiority and pressure to live up to their older siblings. This agrees with emperical evidence from today that [[Later borns are different from first borns]]. ### Horney Feminist Psychology Horney rejected Freud's psychosexual theory. She believed woman didn't feel inferior to men because of Penis Envy but rather because the structure of society promoted women feeling inferior to men. This reminds me of [[Evolutionary Psychology#What is Social Structural Theory?|Social Structural Theory]]. Horney believed that our childhoods have a profound effect on how we act later in life. Her theory had many parallels with [[Attachment theory]]. #### What were Horney's Three Selves? Horney believed we had three possible selves: - Real self: our perceived self. - Despised self: the self formed from our perceived shortcomings. - Idealized self: our perfect self that overcomes our inadequacies. Similar to the Superego from Freud's theory. ### Anna Freud and Heinz Harman Anna Freud elaborated on her father [[Sigmund Freud]]'s ideas by compounding on his understanding of defense mechanisms and the ego. She alongside Harman believed the Ego existed mainly to protect itself and used unconscious resources to do so that manifested in various defense mechanisms. ### Erik Erikson's Developmental Stages Erik believed that as we develop we go through a series of eight ego stages. At the end of each stage we come across an ego crisis. Resolution at one of these stages affects progress in the next. ### What is Object Relations Theory? Object relations theory explores how our relationships with others play into our self of self and actually get internalized into our unconscious. It's highly related to [[Attachment theory]].
