•Freud’s most powerful and compelling theory remains obscure
56% Informative
Few thinkers have had a global impact comparable to Sigmund Freud’s .
His theories continue to influence mental health care, as well as the arts, literature, philosophy, and nearly every subject in the humanities and social sciences.
But many of his insights have been thrown out with everything else.
Freud 's model implies that there’s a harmonious way to process psychic energy.
If people experience a tragic loss, they’ll experience grief, which they have to let themselves experience for a time and then let go of.
Minor frustrations should dissipate relatively quickly, while deep conflicts in more meaningful relationships require more time and attention.
Carl Jung conceived of psychic energy in a broader, more general way.
This framing avoids a fixation on desire and frustration, and it could serve as a more positive and helpful framework for therapists.
But there are problems with both Freud ’s and Jung 's models.
To really reflect what we experience, we need models that have an emotional resonance.
