Thought for the 21st Century

Description:
Sigmund Freud was probably the most influential figure in 20th Century’s understanding of the unconscious or subconscious mind. Despite debates over some of his theories, his ideas are still vital today for understanding motivation, emotion and the unconscious, and human development. This unit, aimed at counselors and psychotherapists, gives a modern introduction to the work of Freud and psychoanalytic psychotherapists, with client examples illustrating various concepts and processes. Topics discussed include the unconscious, psychosexual development, the Oedipus complex, repetition compulsion, anxiety, defence mechanisms, guilt, dreams and transference.
