Module 28: Psychodynamic and Humanistic Perspectives on Personality
Module 28 begins the first of two modules covering personality theory. This module details the psychodynamic and humanistic theories.
The theories of Sigmund Freud and the neo-Freudians (including Jung, Adler, and Horney) are explained. Freud’s division of the mind into the conscious, preconscious, and unconscious is explained, as well as the id, ego, and superego.
The module concludes with the humanistic perceptive. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and Rogers’ person-centered approach are detailed.
