I found an interesting article in the New Scientist ‘Freud: who seduced whom’ as it claimed that Freud misrepresented his research to suit his theories of human behaviour. This article sheds a great deal of doubt on Freud’s work yet some of his theories of personality development are fascinating and I am reading a book by Kline which is more supportive of Freudian theory.” • Comment - Both references to the article and the book go beyond the standard textbook so they both represent wider reading. Wider reading can show motivation and interest in the course. In interview, you would be asked to expand on the references in the statement.
