Sigmund Freud
by Bas Boselie, s 081 and Chriss van Pul, s0801364
Sigmund Freud is the founding father of psychoanalysis. People could compare the basic principles of psychoanalysis with an icemountain: 90% is under water, 10% of the ice is above the water surface.
Different aspects from the psychoanalysis:
- Ambivalent towards parents
- Trained in hypnosis
- Emphasizing the role of sexuality
- Emphasizing the role of unconscious
Freud used hypnosis to assist patients in remembering surpressed traumatic memories. He also supposed that unconscious feelings and thoughts were at play since patients consciously wanted to change. However, because Freud found that not all patients could be hypnotized, he developed an additional technique.
Understanding the spatial relationships within the mind might help say something more about symptoms, like dreams. Freud is in this concept an equal thinker as Said. Said and his Orienentalism suggest the imaginative world of the East.
One example of Freuds imaginative thinking is for example the phenomenon of decolonization, which cannot be seen as the phenomenon itself but as a physical phenomenon in space (Elliot, 2000).
