Freud’s “Dora: An Analysis of a Case of Hysteria”
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page critical analysis of the named work. Sigmund Freud’s (1856-1939) “Dora: An Analysis of a Case of Hysteria” (1963) is Freud’s account of the case of Ida Bauer, whose father brought to Freud seeking “cure” for her willful refusal to assist her father in securing the affections of his would-be mistress. Freud’s conclusions included diagnosis of hysteria and sexual repression; he firmly believed that Dora’s refusal to assist her father sprang from her own sexual desire for her own father. The paper discusses Freud’s lack of objectivity and his failure to take a moral view of Dora’s position. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Goethe’s “Faust” and Freud’s “Civilization and Its Discontents”
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses Sigmund Freud’s “Civilization and
its Discontents” (1929-30) and applies it to a literary character
-- Mephistopheles -- from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s “Faust.”
Both are tangentially based on the real world and real people,
however, both are shaped and manipulated by their “founders.” For
that reason Mephistopheles serves as one of the most valuable
subjects or characters from Faust to consider in light of Freud’s
theories in “Civilization and its Discontents.”
Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Hans Eysenck: Evaluation Of Personality Theory
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The student evaluating Hans Eysenck's claim that personality is based on biological factors will find that while there is merit to this conjecture, it does not reflect the only manner by which human personality is patterned. Indeed, the genetic aspect of personality is both strong and significant with regard to an individual's specific character and disposition; however, environmental factors play just as big a role in the formation of personality as do components of a biological nature. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
