From Freud to Anna Freud, Jung, Adler and Karen Horney Roots, trunk, and branches Lucie Johnson, 11 -22 -05

Freud and Anna, his Daughter (1895 -1982) Anna brought Freudian concepts to her work with children. Used play materials, drawings, home observation Stressed the concept of therapeutic alliance Expanded the role of the Ego and Ego defense mechanisms

Melanie Klein (1882 -1960) Melanie Klein stresses the pre-oedipal period of the child's development, and it intense feelings. She and Anna Freud had a theoretical dispute which Anna won in the US, and Melanie won in Europe Melanie Klein is the founder of the "objects relation" theory which has become much more important even in the US these days.

Freud and Alfred Adler (18701937) Adler: main motive is escape from death This results in a quest for power Notion of inferiority and superiority complexes. Dreams etc… are a quest for mastery Notion of social interest

Alfred Adler and Everyday Life The notion of Style of Life The creative power of the self Birth order effects

Freud and Carl Jung (18751961) Jung extends the notion of unconscious to the concept of COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUS (in addition to the Freudian personal unconscious). There is an archetypal level in the collective unconscious

Examples of Archetypes Persona: that which we appear to be Anima: the feminine in man Animus: the masculine in woman Shadow: the darker self The Self: that which integrates the other archetypes

Jung and development As an individual matures, the various archetypal aspects of his/her person come out and become more balanced. Not everyone is meant to be like everyone else. Personality types (currently reflected in the Myers-Briggs test): E vs I, S vs N, T vs F, P vs J

Freud and Karen Horney (1885 -1952) Does believe in unconscious motives Does not believe in biological determinism Does not accept the Oedipal conflict as foundational, nor the id-ego-superego Womb envy vs penis envy
