Freud/Impact of Dreams On Psychology
[ send me this paper ]
A 18 page research paper that examines the impact of the career of Sigmund Freud and his The Interpretation of Dreams on culture and psychology. There are certain events in history that can be perceived as pivotal, that is, after this event occurred, everything pertaining to a certain field changed as existing paradigms and concepts were irrevocably altered. Such an event occurred with the publication of Sigmund Freud's seminal work, The Interpretation of Dreams (first published in 1900). It is through this work that Freud's concepts began to infiltrate the intellectual climate of the dawning twentieth century. Examination of the impact of this work, as well as Freud's ideas in general, demonstrates that the publication of The Interpretation of Dreams constitutes a pivotal point in the history of psychology, after which everything changed to accommodate Freud's revolutionary concepts (Messer and McWilliams, 2003). Bibliography lists 15 sources.

Freud: The Unconscious And Dreams
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Whether one appreciates his somewhat unorthodox approach to the theories behind human behavior – both conscious and unconscious – or condemns the psychoanalyst's conjecture as nothing more than outdated nonsense, Sigmund Freud is a name everyone can readily associate with decades upon decades of research pertaining to how and why humans behave the way they do. One of Freud's most widely held – and debated – theories surrounds the issues of how dreams and the unconscious commingle to represent some of the deeper, unacknowledged elements of the human mind. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Freudian Revenant and the Aesthetics of Art
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page contention that Freudian theory has a diversity of applications to the aesthetics of art. Of these, however, the concept of revenants is perhaps the most obvious in the greatest number of art pieces. While revenants could be a component of any art form, they are most interesting when viewed in terms of human language. Poetry and music, therefore, offer the greatest opportunity to witness the application of one component of Freudian theory on our understanding of the aesthetics of art. Provides an analysis of the poems "Fern Hill" by Dylan Thomas and "Pied Beauty" by Gerard Manley Hopkins as an example of this application. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Freud’s Psychoanalytical Theory and Behavioral Theory
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing Freud’s psychoanalytical theories of human behavior in comparison with the behavioral theories. When Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) first developed his psychoanalytical theory as treatment for those people who had mental dysfunctions, he was one of the first analysts to attempt to tackle patients head on by developing a series of therapeutic sessions directly with the patients. These sessions were largely based on talking to patients and discovering their repressed feelings which he believed were the cause of the mental disorder. His theory was based largely on the fact that he believed human behavior was developed through a series of stages in childhood that largely relied upon the satisfaction of needs in the individual, mostly sexual. If the unconscious mind was unable to control the interpretation of the needs and how to understand them in relation to the real world then behavioral problems would arise. Once these problems were unearthed, then behavior would change. Behaviorists however did not agree with his methods. Behavior theorists are more concerned with what patients do and say and are not as concerned with the theoretical mental processes which are “behind” the behaviors. Instead, they believe that using conditioning, called behavior therapy, people’s destructive and dysfunctional behaviors can be altered for the better. Those who promote the behaviorist theory believe more that the stimulus and the behavior have a direct relation regardless of the mental process while psychoanalysts believe that there are mental processes and repressive tendencies which have to be resolved before any behavior can be changed.
