Stream Of Consciousness Story Of Oedipus
1,533 wordsSigmund Freud's revolutionary ideas have set the standard for modern psychoanalysis that students of psychology can learn from, and his ideas spread from the field of medicine to daily living. His studies in areas such as unconsciousness, dreams, sexuality, the Oedipus complex, and sexual maladjustments laid the foundation for future studies and a better understanding of the small things that shape our lives. In 1873 Freud graduated from the Sell Gymnasium and, inspired by a public reading of an...

Church Authorities Young Boys
1,918 wordsAlone in his room the priest would mastermind his hunt. He would examine his conscious as he looked in the mirror. He admires his body and hungers for it to be touched by a young boys hand. He is reminded of his vow of celibacy but knows it does not work for him or for most of his peers. Many of them share stories of their affairs with the outside world and the temptations they confront daily. Few, however, speak about crossing the line by submitting to their carnal desires. At the fortress nigh...

Fear Of Castration Don Jose Carmen
600 wordsAlthough Don Jose of Carmen shows little parallelism to Oedipus of Oedipus Rex, the development of character of the former can be attributed to many aspects, mainly those of social and sexual tension, found in the latter, which has formed the basis for one of Freud's psychoanalytical studies known as the Oedipus Complex or Oedipus Conflict. Oedipus Conflict puts a young boy (or girl) in a hypothetical phase, called the phallic stage, in a volatile position where in having to direct his new-found...

Hip Hop Gang Violence
1,734 wordsol> In searching for a properly post-modern style of music, it may be better to look at the electronic music scene, which began with house music in the early to middle 80 s, rather than at hip-hop. It is true that the hip-hop artist generally disappears into the narrative of the music to the extent that many of their lives are a direct reflection of what they sing about: gang violence, drugs, racism, alienation in the US, etc. but here already we encounter two problems. One is the existential ch...

Square Root Negative One
1,257 wordster> (c) 1998 by Daniel du Prie The resistance of dreams to the transparency of the eric consciousness, as opposed to structural meaning per se, lies not in their 'objective presentation', that is, in the way in which objects appear phenomenologically in terms of an eidos, under the order of the symbol. It lies, rather, in a noetic resistance, in an opacity on the order of the image, the imaginary: a lacking in the 'narrative' flow of meaning as it flows forwards in time, the non-confor...

Anxiety Disorders Mood Disorders
1,009 wordsAnxiety Disorder Psychoanalysts believe that anxiety disorders are caused by internal mental conflicts often involving sexual impulses. These impulses cause an overuse of the ego's defense system that fails over time. This shows that the unacceptable impulses the ego has blocked are the generalized anxiety disorders. These blocked impulses cause an unconscious state of apprehension for which the person does not know the cause of. Phobias, however, occur if the person sets the cause of the anxiet...

Id Ego And Superego Social Learning
835 wordsThe first school of thought we studied this year was Freud's. The identification of the id, ego, and superego personalities, the psychosexual stages that we grow through, and the defense mechanism all seem very logical. But from studying the theories more, Freud's ideas become more of coincidences than truth for me. The id, ego, and superego types of personalities are something that I believe true of everyone. Every person has one of the characteristics that they can hold true to themselves depe...

J Hillis Miller Ideas But In Things Williams

First of all I would like to divert our attention to duality as a major theme, and affecting factor of such a maxim. For my introductory explanation I would like to consider the criticism of J.

"Too hot" to be "at ease, " Williams, playing the voyeur, finds this other in the form of the sexually budding girls. In his role as voyeur, Williams is paradoxically trapped between his narcissistic desire to identify with the girls and an irreconcilable need to reassert the presence of his ego. As Freud recognized, its active counterpart accompanies every passive perversion. He who is a voyeur in his unconscious is conco...

Anna Freud Psycho Analysis
2,318 wordsMy aim in this paper is to use historical analysis as a way of reflecting on the deepest philosophical assumptions of psychoanalysis. In preparing it, I have been very influenced by its venue, reflecting what I hope is an interest in the study of life, human nature and society. I have a certain sense of occasion about the growth of interest in the history of the human sciences. In fact it is a quarter of a century since I embarked on a doctoral dissertation in this area. It was, I don't mind say...

Odd, if Freud was trying to be a conformist and avoid opprobrium. In my view Sulloway does not succeed. At the end of his book there is a section called 'Catalogue of Major Freud Myths'. That is probably where the term paranoia crept into my sense of his approach, since about twenty-three of the myths are said to have the function of 'nihil ating' the role of biological...

Mind And Body Cartesian Dualism
2,324 words... for reasons I gave earlier and is based on Descartes's definition of mind as having no language of its own: it is that which does not pertain to matter. For Descartes mind is the realm of free will, the sphere of soul, of the Church. There were a lot of philosophical and theological - i. e. cultural - reasons in the seventeenth century why it was defined in that way. In Individuals P. F. Strawson shows, I think utterly persuasively, that you can think about minds only in a language which con...

Consumption Of Alcohol Second Shot
1,862 wordsThe world in which we live is certainly not perfect. For some people, this cruel fact becomes an insurmountable obstacle to any further pursuits in life, with the only acceptable option to quit it all together.

It all depends on the type of identity an individual possesses and on the circumstances, which can influence individuals decision. However, why should human identity transcend human biology?

Tao Te Ching People In Western
2,165 wordsThe Tao The Taoism can hardly be referred to as religion, in the classical sense of this word. This is because it is being largely based not on faith, but on philosophical rationale, which is the reason why Taoism appeals to people who have their sense of logic, as the cornerstone, upon which their mental activity is based. The book Tao Te Ching, which was allegedly written by Lao Tsu, emphasizes the principle of Wu-wei as such that should define peoples existential mode. The semantic complicati...
