Psychology of Personality and Freud Theory

Part 1: Engage in a discussion of the following.   Please be thorough and generous with your thoughts.

To understand the Freudian/Psychodynamic notion of ‘defensiveness’, you have to understand the nature of anxiety as seen from this perspective. So, according to the psychodynamic view, where does anxiety come from? What are the three sources, or types, of anxiety?

When anxiety is present, what is the basic idea regarding “ego-defense”? What does the ego do to defend from these threats?

Are these conscious processes? Please discuss – if so, why? If not, why not?

What basic characteristics do all defense mechanisms share?

Would the ability to distort reality (to fool yourself) be a generally adaptive or maladaptive human attribute (or both). Do the benefits outweigh the costs? Justify your answer.

Part 2: Discuss the following specific defense mechanisms. For each, give a basic definition (in your own words). Then, provide a plausible real-life example of each and reflect on what you find interesting or provocative.

Repression

Regression

Denial

Projection

Displacement

Reaction Formation

Sublimation

Part 3: Freud (and others) suggest that defense mechanisms differ with respect to “maturity”. That is, some defense mechanisms are more characteristic of healthy ego-function than others. Research also finds evidence that children are more likely to engage ‘less mature’ defense mechanisms than adults typically do. Please discuss the ‘maturity’ issue. Specifically, what makes one defense mechanism more “mature” than another (or more ‘primitive’)? How does the notion of ‘maturity’ relate to issues of the overall adjustment/adaptiveness of personality function?

Part 4: Now that you are more familiar with Freud’s views on self-deception, what do some contemporary psychologist think about this idea? Well, I have included some discussion of more contemporary/modern views of ‘defense mechanisms’ and self-deception. For the final point of discussion in this assignment, please describe the basic propositions advanced by these more modern approaches (by Baumeister and Trivers). How do they compare to the classic psychodynamic (Freudian) view?

What is the central idea in Christine de Pisan's "City of Ladies," and why is it considered an early Feminist text? Are there any earlier Feminist texts that the author could have used as inspiration? Give an example if you have come across one in your reading.

. Compare and contrast nuclear and extended families in terms of their differences in privacy, rules, and authority. Would one type be more "child friendly" than the other? If so, how? How would the two types of families manage resources, such as income, room allocation or space, and distribution of chores? What aspects of your development would be more influenced by the type of family you grew up in?
