Abstract
This paper traces the development of the theory of transference in Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory, arguing that transference holds historical, theoretical, and therapeutic significance. The theory of transference embodies a number of the conflicts inherent in the development and reception of psychoanalytic theory and the performance of psychoanalytic therapy. It explores transference from both the perspective of the analyst and that of the patient, through the memoir of American Imagist poet H.D. (Hilda Doolittle).

From the Paper
"Even the most sophisticated understanding of psychoanalytic theory does not necessarily imply an understanding of psychoanalytic technique. The question of the connection between theory and technique, or therapeutic practice, is of course one that has occupied analysts from Freud to the present, but in a sense there has been a split between the two: if the theory of psychoanalysis continues to inform academic work across the humanities (particularly in literary studies), and the practical ideas of psychoanalysis continue to inform various kinds of non-analytic psychotherapy, practitioners of the one do not necessarily understand the other."

Abstract
This paper states that, in Sigmund Freud's "Civilization and Its Discontents", Freud contends that the feeling of spirituality or religion is the result of one's ego. The author, who plays the role of Socrates, uses the Socratic method to question Freud's arguments. The paper concludes by questioning how there could be sinfulness if Freud believes that religion is an illusion. The author, in the role of Socrates, relates that "sins" are concepts that religions have invented to make people feel guilty and go to church. The author concludes by analyzing each of the beatitudes of the "Sermon on the Mount" from this psychological position.

From the Paper
"But let's move on to Beatitude number four: "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled." In my own research I have discovered that a desire for happiness in many hearts and minds is matched by a willingness to do good, to try to accomplish positive things for others. This satisfies the ego, and when the parents of a child instill in that child the values that are unselfish, that person while growing up will have a strong desire to be righteous."

Abstract
This paper outlines Sigmund Freud's life and looks at how psychoanalysis can be considered a product of both Sigmund Freud's personal experiences and observations, as well as the time he was living in. It describes how Freud produced a scientific method for investigating the field of cognitive processes and the unconscious and how he theorized that the behaviours exhibited were a product of unconscious desires.
From the Paper
"Next, Freud introduced five stages of the all-important sex drive, which occur in order from birth to adolescence: oral, anal, phallic, latent and genital. It is suggested that if not all stages are gone through completely, as an adult one would have traits that indicated a fixation with one of the stages. For example, someone who chain-smokes cigarettes and constantly chews on the end of a pen might have an oral fixation because he or she might not have been weaned properly. Furthermore, Freud suggested that our dreams are usually compromised of unconscious sexual wishes or desires that are not acceptable to consciously wish or desire for. By dreaming, we are able to control and satisfy the desires or wishes while still keeping them in an unconscious state of mind. In Freudian therapy, our dreams would be analyzed for inherent sexual foundations. "

Abstract
This paper relates that evaluating and comparing human personality theories requires an examination of the history of psychology and an appraisal of the most prominent theorists. The author points out that Sigmund Freud and Carl Rogers have influenced psychology profoundly with distinctly different approaches to therapy. The paper explains that Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis and Carl Rogers' humanistic therapy each have their strengths and weaknesses, but humanistic psychology seems to have much greater potential than Freudian analysis.
From the Paper
"In evaluating personality theory, it is important to examine the professional history and experiences of the theorists themselves, for these factors inevitably influence the formulation of their theories. We are all products of our own distinctive life experiences, and famous psychologists are no exception. Sigmund Freud and Carl Rogers were each influenced consciously and subconsciously by their own unique heredity, their respective professional environments, and a host of other personal, educational, and professional circumstances and events. The respective theories of personality they each constructed reflect all of these influences. Robbins (1999) notes that psychoanalysis was founded by Sigmund Freud more than a century ago."

Dr. Sigmund Freud, 2004.
This paper is a biography of Dr. Sigmund Freud, ?father of psychiatry?.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that most people know Dr. Sigmund Freud as the ?father of psychiatry? and associate him with the famous ?Oedipus Complex?, but very few know that, before making his discoveries about the workings of the human mind and personality, he was a physical scientist, who first used cocaine as an anesthetic during eye surgery. The author points out that Freud, believing one?s gender played a very large role in the development of one?s personality and mind, was the first physician to treat mentally and emotionally disturbed patients humanely. The paper states that, although Freud?s methodology seems to have gone out of style, Freud?s granddaughter, also a psychiatrist, believes that the core of Freud's thinking reflects, in many ways, pioneering postmodern insights compatible with current cognitive and constructivist ideas and neurophysiological brain research.

"There were other components to his belief system, of course, often connected to boys? fears concerning their private parts. Girls were supposed to envy their brothers and fathers, something Freud connected to their differing gender-specific physical equipment, but which?looking back at how badly society in Victorian times oppressed women?might well have been a rational reaction on the part of those girls and women. They saw that they could not achieve what men did. Freud attributed that to anatomy; these days, we would attribute it to the expectations of society."

Abstract
This paper examines how the field of psychology would be very different without the work and contributions of Sigmund Freud. It looks at how not only did Freud introduce the world to the idea of psychoanalysis, but how he also introduced the stages of infantile sexual development and how he classified mental activity on three levels.
It provides an introduction into Freud's life and evaluates the factors that may have attributed to his ideas and thoughts. It describes his psychoanalysis theory, his theory of infantile sexuality and his three mind classifications (id, ego, superego).
From the Paper
"Freud also introduced the very interesting but also very controversial theory of infantile sexuality. The entire theory rests on Freud's belief that from the moment of birth, the infant?s action is driven by the desire for bodily/sexual pleasure. According to Freud, there are 5 stages an infant must successfully pass through in order to have a normal and healthy adulthood. Conflicts between the sex drive and rules of society are present at every stage. A proper resolution of the conflicts will lead the child to progress past one stage and move on to the next. Failure to achieve a proper resolution, however, will make the child fixated in the present stage. And this fixation is believed to be the cause of many personality and behavioral disorders."

Abstract
This paper examines Sigmund Freud's work and the nature of his theoretical revolution. The paper also discusses the practical and political consequences of Freud's innovative ideas. This is achieved by first defining Freud's innovative ideas by analyzing the foundation of psychoanalysis. This includes defining the concepts of the Ego and the Self within Freud's frame of reference. Furthermore, the paper examines the basis of Freud's research and writings by analyzing his motivations and the underlying reasons behind his theories. It explores his innovative tool of using dreams as a foundation for the "talking cure" and a mechanism for opening up a subject's subconscious for interpretation.
From the Paper
"Sigmund Freud, an obscure Viennese Jewish doctor and psychologist had an enormous impact on Western culture in the twentieth century. He institutionalized the practice of psychoanalysis, therapy or the so-called "talking cure." He oversaw the development of psychoanalysis making it into an international movement of medical practice and cultural critique. This in itself is groundbreaking. It is his tragic visions of the human condition that still defines the human psyche today. It is from Freud's work where one gets the concept of repression or in other words, what one chooses to forget from their array of experiences. These repressions are thoughts and emotions usually in the form of erotic and sexual fantasies and yearnings. One represses such emotions in order to maintain one's ego in society. Still this method of handling feelings can result in suffering and pain because one does not display one's true self to the world but what one wants the world to see."

Sigmund Freud, 2006.
A review of "Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego" by Sigmund Freud.

Abstract
This paper reviews, discusses and analyzes Sigmund Freud's work on collective psychology, "Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego", a masterpiece on group psychology. According to the paper, it is an examination of psychoanalysis focused on how the individual performs within the group. The paper goes on to discuss how Freud contends that all the peculiarities within the behavior of crowds can be easily explained through the application of customary psychoanalytic formulae. The paper focuses on relating Freud's theory to human resource management.
From the Paper
"The first and most important position Freud posits is that of the libido. He argues that the members of a crowd are bound principally by ties of love and affection garnered to both the leader of the crowd as well as each other. He explains, "Each individual is bound by libidinal ties on the one hand to the leader and on the other hand to other members of the group" (p. 87). The construct of love as the defining aspect of group dynamics is a claim that has been posited by many other of Freud's contemporaries. Through the application of libido as the driving force behind social interactions, Freud draws further conclusions about group dynamics. One of Freud's specific applications of group psychology is his explanation of the phenomena of contagion and gregariousness in crowds and mobs. He views the group leader as the father of the primal hoard rather than just the oedipal father. This observation is central to the understanding of leader dynamics, the leader is the most dominant member of the group because it acts as a surrogate father. As a result, his power comes from both an obligation of obedience and respect of pseudo-fatherhood. The application of this concept to HR professionals is to understand the function of the leader-follower dynamic. Hiring an individual who has natural leadership abilities to a team that already consists of a strong leader, will cause disharmony, because the primal father-son primal relationship of the group dynamic will be broken. Recruitment therefore must a process of surrounding a leader with a dynamic group of individuals who will subconsciously recognize him as the intuitive leader and father figure for the group."

Abstract
A paper on the life and times of Sigmund Freud. The author discusses the roots of some of Freud's theories. Dream interpretation is discussed in some detail.
From the Paper
"Sigmund Freud was born in 1856 in Freiberg, a small part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. As a child he heard nothing of science, let alone modern psychology, and none of his ancestors had ever attended a university (Hunt, 1993). By all odds, he should have become a small time merchant like his father, Jacob. Because of his family?s poverty, Freud would thus have a lifelong anxiety about money (Hunt, 1993)."

Abstract
This paper explains that, although Sigmund Freud is deemed the father of psychoanalysis, he is not given as much credit for the development of psychology because his theories were based more on human observation outside the laboratory rather than on well-constructed research studies that many experimental psychologists were conducting at the time. The author points out that, nonetheless, Freud is revered for his unique ideas and concepts, such as his "talking cure" method and his five structural principles of the unconscious mind. The paper relates that undoubtedly one of Freud's most famous and well-know principles describes three divisions of the human psyche: the ego, the id and the superego.
From the Paper
"The Genetic Principle recognizes how the past influences current mental activity, and how those past influences shape current thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. This principle makes the presumption that one never gets over his or her childhood and is based on empirical findings intertwined with the fact that the human infant has a long period of biological dependence; and finally, There are three (3) phases of development that are examples of the Genetic Principle: the oral phase, the anal phase, and the phallic phase."

Abstract
This paper discusses the work of Sigmund Freud, one of the most influential figures of the twentieth century. In particular, the paper provides an overview of his famous book, "Civilization and its Discontents" in which Freud makes a pertinent and crucial analysis of the development of civilization and its relationship with the individual.
From the Paper
"Freud's argument thus begins with a review of the man's essential purpose in life: every human being pursues what the author had called in his earlier work 'the pleasure principle'. That is to say, every individual strives for his or her personal happiness in life: "What decides the purpose of life is simply the program of the pleasure principle. This principle dominates the operation of the mental apparatus from the start."(Freud, 23) The pleasure principle is as an essential structural aspect of human existence. Nevertheless, the tragedy of human life is precisely the fact that man's happiness does not seem to be a part of the plan of Creation. In fact, it is obvious that full happiness as such cannot be attained; therefore man has to content himself with either merely avoiding unhappiness or with focusing on gaining pleasure in every possible way. Freud then proceeds to enumerate the variegated ways in which the individual strives to divert sufferance. Depending on his typology, the individual will seek alleviation in very different ways. The weaker person will seek seclusion from the world by fending off any relationships she or he might have with other human beings: "Against the suffering which may come upon one from human relationships the readiest safeguard is voluntary isolation, keeping oneself aloof from other people."(Freud, 24) The narcissist will take refuge in the creation of another world, therefore by interesting himself in higher intellectual pleasure such as fantasy and art. Still other individuals will completely reject reality and close themselves in their inner selves, becoming madmen. Another way in which the crude reality is kept at a distance is religion. According to Freud, the latter is probably the most absurd and the least effective way of numbing the sufferance produced by reality. Throughout the book, Freud makes a strong critique of religion as one of the first ideas that has forced civilization on and put a great number of restrictions on the individual."

Abstract
The paper examines the works of Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis. The paper looks at his ideas about the mind's structure, the eros and thanatos instincts of the mind and his focus on childhood. The paper discusses how each of these factors associated with Freud's psychotherapy worked to influence his construction of personality. The paper shows how Freud has had a significant impact on the psychological field with his development of psychoanalysis.
From the Paper
"Sigmund Freud was the founder of psychoanalysis. Within psychoanalysis the core belief was that each individual behaved in ways that were specifically grounded in unconscious thought. Unconscious thought was considered by Freud to be the cause of many behavioral issues because it controlled the cognitive processing of the individual without the individual's knowledge. Freud believed that the unconscious mind was where each individual held secrets to his or her life that had to be explored. This exploration became psychoanalysis."

Abstract
This paper examines Sigmund Freud's psychological theories on the human psyche by beginning at the developmental stage of a newborn. The paper describes the ideas of the unconscious id, the ego and the superego. It also illustrates Freud?s use of psychoanalysis to cure neuroses and the function of dreams and free association therapy.
From the Paper
"Sigmund Freud enumerates that the human psyche consists of the unconscious id, the ego (which is partly conscious and partly unconscious), and the superego (also partly conscious and partly unconscious). At first, a newborn has only an id, which consists of blind drives that seek satisfaction. In a few months, the ego is developed when the newborn experiences resistance and frustration of its drives by the outside world: it realizes that it is separate from that external world and develops a sense of self."

Abstract
This paper examines how on the topic of religion and the psychological undertones of such related experiences, Sigmund Freud and William James could not have had more differing opinions. It explores the theories of these great thinkers not with the intention of proving one correct and the other false, but so as to gain an appreciation and understanding of the ideas put forth by each man.
From the Paper
"The religious experiences which James studied, although often difficult for the subject to put into words, provided them with insight into the truth of reality and created a feeling of connection with divine. Although fleeting, these experiences often had profound effects on people and could convert atheists into believers. Generally, however, results were less extreme but still notable. Most people reported experiencing a lingering feeling of joy and freedom, as well as being more loving and harmonious. Overall, there was a shedding of the more negative character traits and a subsequent adoption of more positive ones."
