Freud's Scientific Credibility
[ send me this essay ]
10 pages in length. The discipline of psychology has not experienced the same amount of growth as other natural sciences for the reason that it is fully vulnerable to its unique material. To be sure, it is unlike any other natural science in that it delves deeply into the human psyche; therefore, it is treated equally as exclusively. The fact that there exists a considerable amount left up to interpretation with regard to personality theory, which defies the fundamental basis of science, the field of psychology has had to fight hard in order to maintain its diversity. As such, Freud's psychoanalytic theory has been criticized as being far less than scientifically reliable and not worthy of recognition within the scientific community. Bibliography lists 16 sources.

Freud’s “Dora: An Analysis of a Case of Hysteria”
[ send me this essay ]
A 4 page critical analysis of the named work. Sigmund Freud’s (1856-1939) “Dora: An Analysis of a Case of Hysteria” (1963) is Freud’s account of the case of Ida Bauer, whose father brought to Freud seeking “cure” for her willful refusal to assist her father in securing the affections of his would-be mistress. Freud’s conclusions included diagnosis of hysteria and sexual repression; he firmly believed that Dora’s refusal to assist her father sprang from her own sexual desire for her own father. The paper discusses Freud’s lack of objectivity and his failure to take a moral view of Dora’s position. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Freud’s Psychoanalytical Theory and Behavioral Theory
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing Freud’s psychoanalytical theories of human behavior in comparison with the behavioral theories. When Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) first developed his psychoanalytical theory as treatment for those people who had mental dysfunctions, he was one of the first analysts to attempt to tackle patients head on by developing a series of therapeutic sessions directly with the patients. These sessions were largely based on talking to patients and discovering their repressed feelings which he believed were the cause of the mental disorder. His theory was based largely on the fact that he believed human behavior was developed through a series of stages in childhood that largely relied upon the satisfaction of needs in the individual, mostly sexual. If the unconscious mind was unable to control the interpretation of the needs and how to understand them in relation to the real world then behavioral problems would arise. Once these problems were unearthed, then behavior would change. Behaviorists however did not agree with his methods. Behavior theorists are more concerned with what patients do and say and are not as concerned with the theoretical mental processes which are “behind” the behaviors. Instead, they believe that using conditioning, called behavior therapy, people’s destructive and dysfunctional behaviors can be altered for the better. Those who promote the behaviorist theory believe more that the stimulus and the behavior have a direct relation regardless of the mental process while psychoanalysts believe that there are mental processes and repressive tendencies which have to be resolved before any behavior can be changed.
