Document Summary
Basic human motivations as perceived by psychoanalytically oriented theorists: Carl jung: striving for self-actualization, as reflected in integrating the wisdom of the personal and collective unconscious with the products of conscious experience. Alfred adler: will to power, feelings of inferiority and striving toward superiority or perfection. Karen horney: basic anxiety, as reflected in exaggerated needs for love (moving toward people), independence (moving away from people and destruction (moving against people) Jung saw human beings as guided as much by aims and aspirations as by sexual urges. Jung believed that the unconscious instinctual life embraces more than simply sex and aggression; it includes other urges such as the need to create and to self-actualize. Analytic psychology: jung"s personality theory that deviates from psychoanalysis in its emphasis on the collective unconscious and on the human striving toward self-fulfillment. A basic assumption of this theory is that the personality consists of competing forces and structures that must be balanced.
