When helpers come across a “formal” theory of human behavior such as congnitive behavior theory or a systemic theory helpers tend to believe or follow theories that folow

If we as helpers believe that a clients is acting on their present every day life situatuon due to what has happened in their past, we as helpers will be more interested in practing a theory that empasises in helping that client with their past experiences. The main point of Freuds Theory “Phenomenolgical Theory” is to deal with the structure of the clients personality. According to Freud, a human beings personality is made up of three distrinct structure, id, ego and superego found on page (120) of the “Okun/Kantrowitz” text in the book “Hums 250 Working with individuals Columbia College Edition.” The id is though as the clietns “primal urges' things like fufilling the need to eat, sleep and gass on genes to future generations. The main concern of the id for the client to to get immediate gratificate, the id is also located in the unconscious part of the clients mind set. At the infant stace is when the id-driven mindset begins. The reason this mind set begins in the infant stage is due to the fact that babies “infants” are in the stage of their lives where their highest basic needs need to be met inorder for them to be happy and properly develop into healthy human beings. As human beings we all have certin basic needs, some of these needs include things such as love,security, feeling of belonging, and self assertiveness. When we are not able to obtain these needs or are not meeting these needs

After analyzing the different counseling theories that were discussed thus far, there are two theories that I relate to the most. The two theories that relate to the most are Sigmund Freud’s theory on personality structure and Alfred Adler’s theory on birth order. I would say I relate to Sigmund Freud’s personality structure which is the ID, the superego, and the ego. The reason why I relate to this theory the most is because I believe that this theory is used quite often in our daily lives. According to Seligman and Reichenberg, the ID derives its energy from bodily processes and is in close touch with the needs while the superego is the rigid conscience that internalized the rules and guidelines of a person’s world.

When applying Freud’s theories in everyday life, I believe it is helpful for an initial evaluation that would set the base line. I believe it is necessary to move forward from Freud and begin constructing one’s psych package in increasing stages of complexity. I am not one that believes there is a simple explanation for any particular person in regards to their psyche, rather I believe that there are so many components to which to consider under the evaluation of either a particular person or a population. Overall, Freud’s findings provide an excellent starting point in the analysis of the human condition, but are not the complete

Social Learning Theory is different from the Behaviourist Theory as it recognises the significance of cognition, as we are not submissive learners. Cognition includes mental processes used to help us make choices in what we do. We learn through: observation, modelling and indirect and direct reinforcement. Bandura believed that vicarious positive reinforcement is the most common reason for behavior modelling. A strength is that it is less deterministic than the behaviorist approach and can account for cultural differences in behaviour.

Psychoanalytic Perspective by Sigmund Freud The theorist of choice in this paper is Sigmund Freud. Freud is the father of psychoanalysis, which focuses on the unconscious aspect of personality. The psychoanalytic theory views the human mind as an iceberg, which is mostly hidden in the unconscious (Jones, Ernest, 1957). In other words, the conscious mind is similar to the tip of the iceberg, which can be seen. The unconscious side is mysterious and hidden (Jones, Ernest, 1957).

The Id, Ego and Superego make complete sense to any person who might be interests in learning about the Psyche. Freud’s use of the psychoanalytic theory is relevant when explaining my current behaviour in regards to my past experiences that have occurred throughout my lifetime. Freud’s theory does apply to my own life as he made his theory a way to help understand and focus on the behavioural problems of the human being, and to resolve them in a way that forces me to accept my own destructive

Sigmund Freud, also known as the founder of psychoanalysis, has introduced his theory on the id, ego, and superego to the psychology world. He came up with three different component of personality: the id, ego, and superego. Each personality has a different function, and they develop into a person at different age. According to Freud, the id is the most primitive part of the human personality, and it is developed during infancy, which means the id is already present in the new-born infant ( Wierzbicki, 1999).

The key tenets are five in making the choices on learning. The first one posits that the learning process is not a pure behavioral aspect but a cognitive process that operates within the social context. The implication is that the process is very stable in making the best choices (Ractham, & Chen, 2013). The second tent allows for a learning process that will appreciate the occurrence of observing behavior and the observation allows people to learn about the consequences of the behavior. This defines the vicarious reinforcements that emanate from the observation

Famous psychologist Sigmund Freud separated the human psyche into three parts: the Id, the Ego, and the Superego. These three parts located between all three sections of the mind: the unconscious, the preconscious and the conscious. The Id is purely pleasure based, motivated by primal needs and wants. This section is based only in the subconscious mind; it is not affected by the outside world. The Ego is formed after realizing that not every urge can be fulfilled, thus making the Ego rationalize the Id’s desires with reality, making it based in the preconscious and the conscious mind, along with the Superego.

Melissa, a 19-year-old college student, is, on the surface, a typical individual. She engages in typical behaviors and for girls her age, including frequent socialization. This paper analyzes Melissa and her past from the perspective of Freud, Adler, Horney, and Erikson, revealing deeper inner mechanics. Freud Sigmund Freud was undoubtedly a major influence on the development of psychology (Wollheim, 1971). Revolutionizing the field of psychology, his perspective, psychoanalysis, proposes a psychosexual stage system of development and structures the psyche around three most critical constructs: the id, shortsighted and operating on the pleasure principle; the ego, constructed by the id and operating on the reality principle; and the superego,

theory. Freud develops his theory of development through his work with emotionally distressed adults. He believed that the personality of a human is made up of the id, the ego, and the superego. According to (Boundless, 2015) the id (the largest part of the mind) is mainly connected to the source of basic biological needs.

Throughout one’s life, it is expected that these archetypal expectations crash with other experiences. This can lead to an internal conflict through the inevitable defenses of the ego. Jung recognized that the ego must be released from these disturbances or 'complexes' as he asserted them in order for individuals to live a full and meaningful life, in which their energy can be put to a more productive use. Jung believed that the best way to bring the unconscious elements into consciousness is by building a trusting and understanding relationship between the client and psychologist. The quality of this relationship ensures the clients comfort so they can openly speak about their problems, providing the necessary support and security to assist the progress of their awareness and self-actualization transformation that will help them overcome what is limiting their psychological wholeness.

Unlike the quantitative approach, the qualitative one does not investigate through a hypothetico-deductive approach, where a hypothesis is tested. Qualitative research is more concerned in studying the processes of the experiences, rather than the outcomes (Langdridge & Hagger-Johnson, 2009). An approach to the qualitative methodology which I chose for my research is the Phenomenological one. This approach focuses on the participants understanding of their own experiences and on their own personal meaning of the world around them. Phenomenology does not give scientific facts about the world around us, but tries to explain how the world appears through the individual’s perception.
