Human Nature and Personality Theories
Use the ITT Tech Virtual Library, the textbook, and the Wiley Media site resources to examine Freud's psychoanalytic theory and address the following:
What is the basic nature of personality, according to Freud? Briefly describe his theory of personality structures, developmental stages, and defense mechanisms.
Provide an instance of when you or someone you know used a defense mechanism.
Identify a few major criticisms of Freud's theories. The ITT Tech Virtual Library is a good source for articles analyzing Freud's theory.
Why do you think Freud's theories are still so popular with the public, despite the many problems psychologists have with his ideas?
