Recommended: Freud's theory of personality

Freudian beliefs hold the view that human personality and behaviour is driven by hidden forces (the unconscious part of human personality), and that our experiences as children, often traumatic, lead us to exhibit certain behaviours and develop particular emotions and thinking patterns. In the case study I have chosen (Partners in Training, 2015) Renne was experiencing difficult or challenging behavioural and personality issues. Her feelings of abandonment due to childhood experiences, has led her to having difficulties in, and lacking the ability to, form relationships and trust others. This case study confirms that Freud’s beliefs are true, that childhood experiences have a significant influence on behaviours as adults. Behaviourists hold …show more content…

Humanistic approaches include; the belief all humans have a basic need or drive to find the meaning of life, the importance of self-concept and having the ability to view one’s own uniqueness, image and value, that as people, we can achieve our full potential (self-actualisation) by changing our perceptions and removing the internal barriers within ourselves that may keep us from achievement. In the Case study I have chosen (Partners in Training, 2015), Selim, a refugee from Sri Lanka, has been involved in several traumatic experience; separated from her parents (whom later died without reconnection) when she was 8, raped by government soldier when she was 14 and became pregnant, gave her child away, escaped to India on a boat at age 18, placed in a refugee camp for 3 years, and was assigned a male husband which encouraged her fear of rape. Selim was eventually granted a placement in Australia after being declared a refugee. During her time in Australia she has struggled with her emotional pain and memories of her past experiences. Selim involved herself with extensive adjustment counselling, during which she became familiar with the story of Viktor Frankl, whom she can relate to closely. This part of counselling encouraged her to explore within herself, her meaning for life. She eventually involves herself in training, gains administration skills, and begins to volunteer at a local migrant centre. This encouraged discussions to arise in counselling, surrounding Selim’s potential and her evident abilities to relate closely to other female refugees in the migrant centre. Selim was able to follow her own feelings through Maslow’s Hierarch of Needs levels, and through this, was able to place a value on her life and her contribution to society and could see herself helping others in the future. This case study is a great example of how humanistic

Field Journal #2 For the time that I have spent being an intern case manager at Mary’s Place Refugee Outreach, I believe that my personal growth as a person and in knowledge is never ending. From learning to be more assertive, to learning about how to navigate the Department of Social Services, I absolutely love my internship. A day has not gone by where I have not learned something valuable, whether it be from helping a client with their problem or from learning from my co-workers. From this internship alone, I have learned a lot about myself and from the people I work with.

Sigmund Freud and his theories on childhood development were extremely popular and widely accepted all the way up until the 1960s (Felluga). Freud put great emphasis on the impact early childhood development had on becoming a well-adjusted adult. He claims, “The structure of the psyche receives its final form during childhood, specifically at the time of the Oedipus complex” (U. of California). This complex is essential in identifying with either the mother or father, in order to establish sexual orientation (Felluga). During this stage, from ages 4-7, the child finds ways to deal with separation anxiety, and it is also the time that the ego fully matures into the superego: “an internalization of the parental function that eventually manifested itself in your conscience” (Cherry).

Therefore humanistic psychology is believed to help us to understand our body, our external behavior and our cognitive's process as a whole (Schneider, 2014). The disassociation of humanistic and positive psychology of the article concerned the author, since he outlined that it will make a great advance in the field if both theories allied instead of separating them when concluding psychological literatures (Schneider, 2014). A similar approach was also observed in six perspectives, when humanistic and positive psychologists implied that they most unified to find an effective way to achieve a singular positive goal for the benefit of humanity (Fernald, p200, 2008). In conclusion, six perspectives exposed, how Bertha after overcoming early traumas of being socially excluded, religiously restricted and overprotected by her parents.

Greenberg (1986) believes Freud’s case studies do not place enough stress on revealing the outcome of the treatment and that Freud’s aim was more to illustrate his theoretical points (p.240). In cases, Greenberg asserts that many of the presented cases would not even be considered acceptable examples of psychoanalysis and, in short, that virtually all of the cases studies had basic shortcomings (p.240). Furthermore, many other powerful criticisms about Freud inaccurate and subsequently flawed evidence have been published. These critics contend that Freud’s evidence is flawed due to the lack of an experiment, the lack of a control group, and the lack of observations that went unrecorded (Colby, 1960, p.54).

Psychoanalytic Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) is reflected as the forefathers of psychology and founder of psychoanalysis. Based on Freud’s theories, psychoanalytic therapy is a type of treatment that tends to observe at the background from early childhood to perceive if these situations have affected the individual’s life, or to current issues. (Counselling Directory, 2014) This therapy discovers how the unconscious mind empowers thoughts and behaviors, with the purpose of offering insight and resolution to the person seeking therapy. This form of therapy is a long-term treatment whereby it can take duration up to weeks, months or even years depending on the complexity of the patient being explored.
