Freudian Revenant and the Aesthetics of Art
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page contention that Freudian theory has a diversity of applications to the aesthetics of art. Of these, however, the concept of revenants is perhaps the most obvious in the greatest number of art pieces. While revenants could be a component of any art form, they are most interesting when viewed in terms of human language. Poetry and music, therefore, offer the greatest opportunity to witness the application of one component of Freudian theory on our understanding of the aesthetics of art. Provides an analysis of the poems "Fern Hill" by Dylan Thomas and "Pied Beauty" by Gerard Manley Hopkins as an example of this application. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Freud’s Psychoanalytical Theory and Behavioral Theory
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing Freud’s psychoanalytical theories of human behavior in comparison with the behavioral theories. When Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) first developed his psychoanalytical theory as treatment for those people who had mental dysfunctions, he was one of the first analysts to attempt to tackle patients head on by developing a series of therapeutic sessions directly with the patients. These sessions were largely based on talking to patients and discovering their repressed feelings which he believed were the cause of the mental disorder. His theory was based largely on the fact that he believed human behavior was developed through a series of stages in childhood that largely relied upon the satisfaction of needs in the individual, mostly sexual. If the unconscious mind was unable to control the interpretation of the needs and how to understand them in relation to the real world then behavioral problems would arise. Once these problems were unearthed, then behavior would change. Behaviorists however did not agree with his methods. Behavior theorists are more concerned with what patients do and say and are not as concerned with the theoretical mental processes which are “behind” the behaviors. Instead, they believe that using conditioning, called behavior therapy, people’s destructive and dysfunctional behaviors can be altered for the better. Those who promote the behaviorist theory believe more that the stimulus and the behavior have a direct relation regardless of the mental process while psychoanalysts believe that there are mental processes and repressive tendencies which have to be resolved before any behavior can be changed.

Freud’s “Dora: An Analysis of a Case of Hysteria”
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page critical analysis of the named work. Sigmund Freud’s (1856-1939) “Dora: An Analysis of a Case of Hysteria” (1963) is Freud’s account of the case of Ida Bauer, whose father brought to Freud seeking “cure” for her willful refusal to assist her father in securing the affections of his would-be mistress. Freud’s conclusions included diagnosis of hysteria and sexual repression; he firmly believed that Dora’s refusal to assist her father sprang from her own sexual desire for her own father. The paper discusses Freud’s lack of objectivity and his failure to take a moral view of Dora’s position. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Goethe’s “Faust” and Freud’s “Civilization and Its Discontents”
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses Sigmund Freud’s “Civilization and
its Discontents” (1929-30) and applies it to a literary character
-- Mephistopheles -- from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s “Faust.”
Both are tangentially based on the real world and real people,
however, both are shaped and manipulated by their “founders.” For
that reason Mephistopheles serves as one of the most valuable
subjects or characters from Faust to consider in light of Freud’s
theories in “Civilization and its Discontents.”

Hans Eysenck: Evaluation Of Personality Theory
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The student evaluating Hans Eysenck's claim that personality is based on biological factors will find that while there is merit to this conjecture, it does not reflect the only manner by which human personality is patterned. Indeed, the genetic aspect of personality is both strong and significant with regard to an individual's specific character and disposition; however, environmental factors play just as big a role in the formation of personality as do components of a biological nature. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
