Neo-Freudians
Chapter 10
Influenced by Freud.
Early psychologists were like philosophers. Ideas, but no proof.
Adler: emphasized that personality development is influenced strongly by feelings of inferiority or superiority.
Inferiority complex
Superiority complex (rapists)
Birth order
Karen Horney: Differed with Freud over penis envy. Believed women were only jealous of the power men had, not their penises. Also believed in basic anxiety (children’s fear of being left alone, helpless, etc.) Reactions to anxiety include:
Passive: being compliant
Aggressive: fight to get attention
Withdrawn: repress emotions
Jung (pronounced “Yung” in German): emphasized the importance of the collective unconscious in personality functioning. He believed we have collective memories as human beings.
Archetypes: (wise old man)
Males have a female component in the collective unconscious. (anima)
Females have a male component. (animus)
