Document Summary
Group of psychologists that believe in freud"s theory today. Veer away from freud in two key ways: They place more emphasis on the conscious mind. They doubt that sex and aggression are all-consuming motivators. Believed that childhood social tension not sexual tension make up our personality. Childhood anxiety is triggered by the child"s sense of helplessness and dependence. Much of our behavior is driven by efforts to conquer childhood feelings of inferiority. In addition to personal unconscious, we have a collective unconscious. Had more than just our own unconscious, all humans have a collective unconscious. A collective unconscious is a innate to us, passed down from one generation to the next, common reservoir of experiences. Projective tests provide ambiguous stimuli designed to trigger the projection of one"s inner dynamic. Tat (thematic apprehension test): they way people describe the picture. Popular test, not the most widely used.
