26
Identification
- when Oedipus complex ends-> latency phase - internalizing parents prohibitions against childhood sexuality - > superego develops
27
Cathartic method
- developed by Jonas Breuer | - remembering a scene under hypnosis -> expressing long suppressed emotion -> symptoms disappeared
28
Pathogenic ideas
- memories of emotionally charged experiences that have been ‘forgotten’ - > stimuli that would normally arouse the memory now activated strangulated emotional energy - >conversions of emotional into physical energy - only people who could be deeply hypnotized could be treated by cathartic method
29
Changes in treatment of mental disorders
- informal support by family - asylums (like prisons) - from prisoners to patients (‘medical’ , ‘moral’ treatment) - neurologists: physicians interested in treatment of milder forms of mental problems outside fo asylums - Charcot as major forerunner
30
Josef Breuer (1842-1925)
- patient Bertha Pappenheim, patient Anna O. - developed cathartic method - mentor to Freud
31
Jean-Martin Charcot
- French neurologist - hypnosis and hysteria - in Paris -> Freud met him
32
Erik Erikson (1902-1994)
- German - first child psychoanalyst in Boston - invented the term ‘identity crises’ - contribution to development and shape - he tutored art in Vienna for children whose parents were undergoing psychoanalysis by Freuds daughter Anna - he was invited by her to teach at a small private school - > entered psychoanalysis, training to become a psychoanalyst himself - Montessori education - 8 stages of development - personality development takes place through a series of crises that must be overcome and internalized by individual in preparation for next developmental stage
33
Erik Erikson - Connection to Freud
- Neo-Freudian, worked with Anna - accepted Freud theory - > didn’t focus on parent-child relationship as psychosexual aspects - more importance of the role of the ego - Erickson’s theory described development through entire lifespan ( Freuds theory ends at early adulthood)
34
Freuds psychological treatment
- talking to patients | - the unconscious mind plays a strong role in the control of people’s actions
