Sigmund Freud?
What do you think about Sigmund Freud's ideas on the thoughts that control our sub-context thought?
I think his ideas were applicable to the time period he lived in when women were their husbands property that could be beaten ,raped as part of a husbands right or were commited to insane asylums by husbands who esily went to court and obtained a judges signature to do this rather than deal with a messy divorce, in this context the penis envy and castraion anxiety forces that drive women to behave certain ways makes sense and explains why he neglected to make a theory of fixation or vagina envy for men, and that the penis envy theory could be applied today as women are envious of the social staus that is associated with having a penis or being a male
What were the social normsduring the time Sigmund Freudlived in?
I am doing a report on Sigmund Freud and I am trying to figure out the social norms during the time when he lived in Austria Hungary. I am interested in the social norms that could have caused him to become an enemy of th people when he disagreed with them.
I'm don't know where the previous responders got their information, but in the century and country where I live, Sigmund Freud preceded the Nazis by quite some time! Being Austrian by nationality, I doubt that he was much influenced by Queen Victoria of England, either. If you read anything at all about him, I suspect you'll find quite a lot about the social norms of his time. Some of the more glaringly obvious would be the fact that sex was a taboo topic and so people had lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of hangups about it, which is why his theories of psychology are all about sex and people's hangups about sex. Another one is the fact that men dominated women (also known as patriarchy in anthropology) which he put in sexual terms, calling it penis envy, which cracked me up the first time I read it. One of his first patients was a very young teenaged girl whom he thought ought to go out and have a sexual affair with a middle-aged man of his acquaintance, an idea I should think wouldn't sit nearly so well with my contemporaries. So perhaps that gives you another idea of what sexual and social mores were like in his day and time. Men tended to get what they wanted, regardless of how many little girls' lives got ruined in the process. I don't know which people you think he was the enemy of, but I do know that one of his most brilliant students was Carl Jung and later on, Jung disagreed with some of his ideas, then branched off on his own and created Jungian pschyology, which differs quite a bit from Freudian psychology. Freud didn't like that because Freud was quite Germanic, which means he was terribly authoritarian and though that all his students ought to follow in HIS footsteps rather than setting out on their own and starting new schools of thought. So Freud didn't care much for Jung after that. Freud died badly since he developed cancer, which has a very modern sound. They had no modern treatments for it though, so he suffered horribly. People in those days often considered cancer to be a punishment from God, much as people today often consider AIDS to be a punishment from God. Fortunately, Freud himseld did NOT believe that. So, although he had some quirks, as many of us do, he has gone down in history as a great man and the father of psychology, for developing the notion of the subconscious, if nothing else. And I leave it to you to do some actual reading in his materials and discover more for yourself, because it's really fascinating. And sometimes even funny. You'll never guess what he thought a cigar was. Or maybe you will.
What should I include in myspeech about Sigmund Freud?
I have to write a 4-6 minute speech on Sigmund Freud for a public speaking class. I can basically include whatever information I want but I must have 3 main points to discuss in the body of the speech. What important facts and information should I include? What main points should I make? Any help is much appreciated.
His breakthrough work and a physician along with a colleague (you will have to research this) on using the properties of cocaine in anesthesiology more specifically for use in eye surgery This was before he started the psychoanalysis part of his career, way before , You really should include this because it shows how brilliant he really was as a young physician and the genesis of local anesthesiology. Good Luck
