Document Summary

Agenda: humanistic model, history of mental disorders, mood disorders. Questions: how does the humanistic perspective differ from freud, how do we classify mental disorders, what are the symptoms of a mood disorder. Theory built on select population: bias. His looking for the thing that he believes in: conceptual. Present things from seeing it, but it still have effect that making decisions faster: repression. Memory lapses during therapy (luborsky et al. (1979)) Memory lapses occurs at the emotional times. Evidence against freud: dreams (dement 1959) Thirsty subjects awoken during rem do not dream of drinking. They"re thirsty, but they don"t dream about it: anthropological evidence. Oedipus complex not universal, e. g. trobriand islanders (malinowski 1927) Whatever the scientific answer, freud will remain an important figure: notional of internal unconscious conflict. We do not completely know ourselves: scope of theory. Theory of humanity that covers biology, art, humor, the family . Humanistic perspective: focus on inherent goodness , strive for self-actualization.
