Theories of Religion in Early 20th Century Psychology@Everything2.com - 0 views

  • Freud believed humanity is moving through three stages of development: Tribal, Religious, Scientific.  He believed society would eventually cast off the unnecessary and unfounded ideals of religion in trade for the exactitudes and truth offered by the scientific method.
  • Unlike Sigmund Freud, who believed religion to be an illusory wish fulfillment for the weak minded, Carl Jung advocated religion as an indispensable part of an individual's psychological development. Jung viewed the mind as having three components: the ego, the personal unconscious, and the collective unconscious. Freud's vision of the mind did not include a collective unconscious. Instead, Freud proposed a moral super-ego, which grew to become the mind's administrator according to a learned sense of morality. Jung believed the self-actualizing properties of Freud's super ego pre-exist in the mind as a collective unconscious which is to be discovered through introspection as opposed to learned from experience.

EBSCOhost: Radical deinstitutionalization: Rousseau versus Freud. - 0 views

  •  
    The book from which we read the discourse by Rousseau mentioned how his ideas had a substantial influence on psychological thought. This article from the Journal of Mental Health describes how his ideas about the natural man compare with Freud's and how both apply to whether or not state mental hospitals should exist. Very interesting.

Freud, "Civilization and its Discontents," 1930 (excerpt) - 0 views

  • If private property were abolished, all wealth held in common, and everyone allowed to share in the enjoyment of it, ill-will and hostility would disappear among men.
  • But I am able to recognize that the psychological premises on which the systems based are an untenable illusion.

  • If we were to remove this factor, too, by allowing complete freedom of sexual life and thus abolishing the family, the germ-cell of civilization, we cannot, it is true, easily foresee what new paths the development of civilization could take; but one thing we can expect, and that is that this indestructible feature of human nature will follow at there.

Analysis of Family as and in Social Institutions - 0 views

      I feel like one of the reasons for this is because there is so much required of individuals.Whether it is our jobs or our education, we have to work constantly in order to survive. There is little or no leisure time until you have earned it. Would it be possible to live in a type of economic system that would allow each individual the ability to choose based on their own judgement of when to do work for others and when to do work for himself? That would be awesome!

  • According to sociologist William F. Ogburn, the family – under the pressures of urbanization and industrialization – was stripped of many of its traditional functions until its only remaining functions were psychological: "to socialize children and to provide emotional sustenance and support for family members."
