Document Summary
Analytic psychology: personal unconscious: based on life experiences, collective unconscious: consists of memories accumulated throughout entire history of human race. Object relations: focus on images or mental representations that people form of themselves from early experience with caregivers. Self: organized, consistent set of perceptions of and beliefs about oneself. Congruence (consistency between self perceptions and experience) Need for positive regard: acceptance, sympathy, and love from others. Unconditional positive regard communicates that the child is inherently worthy of love. Conditional positive regard is dependent on how the child behaves (child only receives love when behaving how parents want) Fully functioning persons have no fear of behaving creatively. Self esteem: how positively or negatively we feel about ourselves. Self verification: motivated to preserve self-concept by maintaining self consistency and congruence. Gender schemas: organized mental structures that contain our understanding of attributes for males and females. External locus of control: all luck and environment.
