  • Existential and Humanistic Theories
    Existential Theories 1 RUNNING HEAD: EXISTENTIAL THEORIES Existential and Humanistic Theories Paul T. P. Wong Graduate Program in Counselling Psychology Trinity Western University In Wong, P. T. P. (2005). Existential and humanistic theories. In J. C. Thomas, & D. L. Segal (Eds.), Comprehensive Handbook of Personality and Psychopathology (pp. 192-211). Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Existential Theories 2 ABSTRACT This chapter presents the historical roots of existential and humanistic theories and then describes four specific theories: European existential-phenomenological psychology, Logotherapy and existential analysis, American existential psychology and American humanistic psychology. After examining these theories, the chapter presents a reformulated existential-humanistic theory, which focuses on goal-striving for meaning and fulfillment. This meaning-centered approach to personality incorporates both negative and positive existential givens and addresses four main themes: (a) Human nature and human condition, (b) Personal growth and actualization, (c) The dynamics and structure of personality based on existential givens, and (c) The human context and positive community. The chapter then reviews selected areas of meaning-oriented research and discusses the vital role of meaning in major domains of life. Existential Theories 3 EXISTENTIAL AND HUMANISTIC THEORIES Existential and humanistic theories are as varied as the progenitors associated with them. They are also separated by philosophical disagreements and cultural differences (Spinelli, 1989, 2001). Nevertheless, they all share some fundamental assumptions about human nature and human condition that set them apart from other theories of personality. The overarching assumption is that individuals have the freedom and courage to transcend existential givens and biological/environmental influences to create their own future.

However, it was not until the 11th century that the Persian physician Avicenna attributed a connection between emotions and physical responses in a practice roughly dubbed "physiological psychology." Some consider the 17th and 18th centuries the birth of modern psychology (largely characterized by the publication of William Battie's "Treatise on Madness" in 1758). Others consider the mid- 19th century experiments done in Hermann von Helmholtz's lab to be the start of modern psychology. Many say that 1879, when Wilhelm Wundt established the first experimental psychology lab, was the true beginning of psychology as we know it. From that moment forward, the study of psychology would continue to evolve as it does today. Highlighting that transformation were a number of important, landmark events.

  • Century Feminism: a Jungian Exploration of the Feminine Self
    20th Century Feminism: A Jungian Exploration of The Feminine Self by Christopher Alan Snellgrove A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama August 4, 2012 Keywords: Carl Jung, Virginia Woolf, Toni Morrison, Margaret Atwood, Archetypes Copyright 2012 by Christopher Alan Snellgrove Approved by Jonathan Bolton, Chair, Associate Professor of English Dan Latimer, Professor Emeritus of English Susana Morris, Assistant Professor of English Abstract The following work uses the theories and methods provided by Carl Jung as a way of analyzing works by three women authors: Virginia Woolf’s Orlando, Toni Morrison’s Beloved, and Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale. The primary Jungian notion featured is that of self-actualization—the process by which a person has achieved a sense of wholeness uniting their body and mind to the greater world. Specifically, I examine how the protagonists and antagonists of these texts either complete their Jungian journey towards actualized wholeness. In order to do this, I focus greatly on Jung’s notion of archetypes, and how they either help or hinder the journey that these women are on. A large part of the analysis centers on how actualization might be defined in feminine terms, by women living in a world of patriarchal control. As such, this work continues the endeavors of other Post-Jungians to “rescue” Jung from his own patriarchal leanings, using his otherwise egalitarian theories as a way of critiquing patriarchy and envisioning sexual equality. Jung, then, becomes an interesting bridge between first, second, and third-wave feminism, as well as a bridge between modernism and post-modernism.

  • FEMINIST PSYCHOLOGY of WOMEN When I Dare to Be Powerful-To Use My Strength in the Service of My Vision, Then It Becomes Less Important Whether I Am Unafraid
    FEMINIST PSYCHOLOGY OF WOMEN When I dare to be powerful-to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less important whether I am unafraid. Audre Lorde KALAMAZOO COLLEGE SPRING, 2012 KARYN BOATWRIGHT, PH. D. PROFESSOR'S OFFICE: 403G OLDS UPTON HALL OFFICE HOURS: TUESDAY 1:30-3:30 P.M. (ADDITIONAL MEETING TIMES UPON REQUEST) TEACHING ASSISTANTS: LAUREN ROSENTHAL & KATHERINE CURLEY CLASS MEETING TIME AND LOCATION: ROOM 408 OLDS UPTON, 2:40-4:00 P.M. MWF COURSE DESCRIPTION: You are not expected to be a feminist or to espouse a feminist political perspective and my goal will not be to “convert” you to feminism. However, it is difficult to possess a solid grasp of the field of psychology without understanding the feminists’ responses to various core issues and empirical research. This course is designed for students who wish to explore issues related to women's lives and experiences through analyzing research studies through active and respectful discourse. Why is this important? Since nearly the beginning of psychology as a discipline, feminist psychologists (e.g., Karen Horney, Jean Baker Miller) have intensely scrutinized and criticized the field for its androcentric focus. In the last few decades, feminist psychologists have tried to correct these biases by placing women at the center of inquiry, both as researchers and objects of study. As a result, psychology is undergoing transformation to its very core because of the positive influence of feminist questions, probing, analyses, and feminist empirical research. I happen to believe in the importance of studying the historical developments in various psychological disciplines.

  • Karen Horney Vs. Sigmund Freud
    Karen Horney vs. Sigmund Freud: Breaking Barriers in Psychoanalysis for Women as a Woman Cate Boyette Individual Performance Senior Division Process Paper: 492 words Boyette 1 Last summer, I was a volunteer at a coding camp for gifted, disadvantaged elementary school girls. At the camp, we used a book titled Women in Science-- 50 Fearless Pioneers Who ​ Changed the World. After doing National History Day for two years, I knew I wanted to do it ​ again, and I was on the lookout for topics to fit the theme of Breaking Barriers in History. After I read the excerpt on Karen Horney, I immediately knew I wanted to tell her story. The way she challenged Freudian beliefs for having both misogynistic and scientific flaws during a time when promoting such ideas could ruin one’s reputation as a psychoanalyst clearly broke barriers. She also paved the way for women who wanted to pursue psychoanalysis and specialize in adult therapy. Because my topic this year was more academic in nature, my research process differed from previous years. I immediately noticed that primary sources were easier to find, especially medical articles, journals from the time, and the works of Horney and other psychoanalysts. My most useful primary sources were the two books by Horney. I used Feminine Psychology to ​ ​ explain her counter-argument to Freud´s popular theory on the castration complex in women and I used Neurosis and Human Growth to discuss her anti-Freudian beliefs. What was difficult to ​ ​ ​ ​ find were high-quality secondary sources. Since most of my primary sources focused on particular aspects of Horney's life, I tried looking for a biography.

  • Abstracts 2021
    IAJS/ Duquesne University Conference, March 18-21, 2021 Authors and Abstracts Apocalypse Imminent: A depth psychological analysis of human responses to fear of catastrophe and extinction. J. Alvin and E. Hanley In the dire situation of the world today, humans are striving to cope with impending catastrophes and end of life on Earth. Emergency food buckets with a shelf life of 25 years are now sold in quantities that provide a year of lasting sustenance for an individual. Efforts to colonize Mars are underway and its pop-culture representations are based on key narratives of American heritage: ingenuity/technology, the great frontier/utopia, and democracy/capitalism. The configuration of apocalyptic social phenomena, arranged in a cultural and astrological gestalt, may be reminiscent of other points in human history where the threat of catastrophe rendered similar archetypal expression. As psychologists, we must ask: what precisely is being achieved by the development and sale of stockpiled food and plans to colonize other planets? What are we turning toward and away from? What kind of life are we buying into? Key concepts explored in the research of these topics include technology, climate change, food sustainability, cultural complex, and more. To be explored in a discussion panel are the archetypal root and metaphor of these social phenomena and the implications these endeavors have for humanity entering the next phase of existence. It is our intention to present papers on the above topics and, with Dr. Romanyshyn as a respondent, facilitate an in-depth and meaningful discussion. 1 Wise emergency survival food storage Jonathan Alvin The purpose of this philosophical hermeneutic study will be to understand the Wise Emergency Survival Food Storage (WESFS) as an artifact that reflects and reproduces its cultural matrix (Cushman, 1996).

[email protected] Today, psychology is defined as "the scientific study of behavior and mental processes." Philosophical interest in the mind and behavior dates back to the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Persia, Greece, China, and India. For a condensed overview, see the Timeline of Psychology article The history of psychology as a scholarly study of the mind and behavior dates back to the Ancient Greeks. There is also evidence of psychological thought in ancient Egypt. Psychology was a branch of philosophy until the 1870s, when it developed as an independent scientific discipline in Germany and the United States. Psychology borders on various other fields including physiology, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, sociology, anthropology, as well as philosophy and other components of the humanities.
