Document Summary
Successors extended on ego in way that"s kind of consistent with freud. Adler, like jung, didn"t agree with freud entirely. Thought freud had too much emphasis on sexuality, not enough on parent-child relationships, importance on parent/social. Because freud was influenced by the boom in medicine --> focus on physical cause. Rejected sex as prime drive and instinctual life as main source of personality. Neo: id cannot have to do with everything. Hartmann: instinct ego satisfaction (not id driven) (activities are carried out for its own sake) Older brother was perfect example of a healthy child. Almost died at 5 y/o from pneumonia, sensed his own mortality --> when healed, decided to become a doctor. Did poorly in school but went on to study medicine. Defended freud"s dream book --> freud invited him to wednesday psychological society. Forced out when he presented ideas/papers that disagreed with core freud ideas (oedipal complex, sexual motives, etc. )
