Week 3: Psychodynamic Theory: Jung and Horney LecturePsychodynamic Theory: Jung and HorneyMany of Freuds original followers eventually split from a traditional psychodynamic approach due to differences in the emphasis placed on sexual and aggressive instincts. These early theorists are often referred to as Neo-Freudians as they share Freuds focus on unconscious influence and intrapsychic conflict, but they take a new perspectives in examining personality motivation. This week, we will examine Jungs and Horneys contributions to the psychodynamic theory of personality to gain a thorough understanding of analytical and psychoanalytical social psychologies.To get started, read Chapter 4 Jung: Analytical Psychology and Chapter 6 Horney: Psychoanalytical Social Psychology. Carl JungJung was one of Freuds most prized followers; Freud was even known to have referred to Jung as my beloved son. Jung was a brilliant theorist; but, equally important during this era, he was one of the first non-Jewish psychologists to join the Freudian movement. Jungs religious status was especially important, as many of Freuds ideas and theories were considered Jewish and easily dismissed by the general public who was flooded with anti-sematic messages from Hitler. Jung gave credibility and acceptance to Freuds ideas concerning the unconscious. Over time though, the relationship between Freud and Jung became strained and their theories took very different directions. View the video clip Jung and Freud (text version ) to learn more about their turmulous relationship. After breaking from Freud, Jung proposed his own theory of personality which he called analytical psychology.Jung believed that the unconscious was a powerful influence on the formation of personality and the forces that motivate behavior. View the video Jungs Understanding of the Unconscious (text version) for a detailed examination of the role of the unconscious. A key feature of his theory, is the differentiation between the personal unconscious and the collective unconscious. The personal unconscious is unique to each individual and is made up of personal experiences. The collective unconscious is a shared component of everyones unconscious that includes universal elements passed from generations of ancestors.Jung placed considerable emphasis on the collective unconscious and the influence of its contents. The highly developed, universal contents of the collective unconscious are called archetypes. View the video Jungs Explanation of Archetypes (text version) to hear Jung describe the role and purpose of archetypes. Some of the most common archetypes are explained in the following table.ArchetypeExplanationpersonaThe persona is often called the mask of personality as it contains the aspects of our self (roles, attitudes, behaviors, etc.) that we are willing to show the outside world.shadowThe shadow is considered the personas evil twin as it contains the aspects of our personality that we wish to hide or disguise from our self and others.animaThe feminine aspect of a mans personality representing irrational moods and emotions.animusThe masculine aspect of a womans personality symbolic of logic, thinking, and reasoning.selfThe innate, inherited potential for total growth and completion. The self moves us toward an individual perfection achieved through the unity of the other archetypes.The aspect of Jungs theory that is most popular in modern psychology is the explanation of psychological types formed through the relationship between attitudes and functions. The following presentation highlights the formation of the eight Jungian personality types:PowerPoint on Jungian Personality Types (If the link does not work, please go to Doc Sharing to download the powerpoint. Remember to check out all the notes under each slide. The notes explain the slides)There are a variety of free tests to determine your personality typology using the Jungian system. If you are interested in knowing your personality type, take the Jung Typology Test, then go to Type Logic for an interpretation. Karen HorneyHorney proposed the psychoanalytic social theory of personality. Like the theorists we have discussed thus far, the roots of Horneys theory lie in the psychodynamic tradition which acknowledges the importance of unconscious influences and intrapsychic conflict. Unique to Horneys theory is the emphasis on the social and cultural factors that influence the formation of personality. Horney believed that the core personality is shaped in childhood and occurs as a direct result of the relationship between children and their parents.Children are born with basic needs (safety and satisfaction) and rely on their parents to create a loving, affectionate environment in which these needs can be met. When the needs are met, children have a solid basis for healthy personality growth and development. But, when these needs are not met, children develop a resentment toward the parents; Horney termed this resentment basic hostility. Because children are in a helpless position in relation to their parents, they are unable to express this hostility and respond by withdrawing. This, in turn, leads the child to develop basic anxiety which is characterized by feelings of insecurity and isolation.Horney believed that personality develops as a consequence of the attempt to deal with basic anxiety; she called these attempts neurotic needs. The neurotic needs can be grouped into three neurotic trends or fundamental styles of relating to people: moving toward people, moving against people, and moving away from people. The following chart shows the relationship between neurotic needs and neurotic trends.All individuals possess one of the fundamental styles of relating to people as basic conflict cannot be completely avoided. A person with a healthy personality shows spontaneous movement and operates within a socially-acceptable range of behaviors. The neurotic individual, on the other hand, is compulsive and tends to take an extreme position when forming interpersonal relationships. For example:Basic AttitudesNormal PersonalityNeurotic Personalitymoving towardfriendly, loving, affectionate, warmcompliant, clingy, codependentmoving againstcompetitive, goal-orientedaggressive, hostile, angrymoving away fromautonoumus, serene, independentdetached, isolated, emotionally-distantHorneys theories continue to have an influence in the training of therapists and in our understanding of personality.

Next Steps When you have finished with the readings and lecture material, you can proceed to the activities associated with this weeks work. You will need to: DISCUSSION:Jung used the term persona to mean the face or facade that we hold out to the world. The persona is that version of the self, the image or picture of the self, that we want, expect, and demand that others see. The shadow is that part of the self that we do not expect or want or allow others to see. The shadow consists of all that is hidden and held away from view, all that is secret and behind closed doors. We certainly dont want others (in most day-to-day situations, and, certainly not in our professional lives) to see our faults and failings, doubts and confusions, and we most certainly dont expect the world to have access to our fantasies and imaginings (or even that we have them). As Jung explained, everyone has a persona and a shadow, these are universal to all mankind. Your task for this week is to identify examples (either in movies, books, the popular media, or your own life) in which the shadow has revealed itself over the persona. As you look for your examples, reflect on the following questions: What is the relationship between the persona and the shadow? Is the shadow good or evil? Is it possible to repress the shadow from ever revealing itself? How do we know what is contained in an individuals shadow? How is a persona formed? How is a shadow formed? You do NOT need to answer these questions individually, use the questions as a basis to form a reaction/explanation to the example your have identified. I would like you to share your example and provide your reflections on the relationship between the persona and the shadow specific to your example. At the end of your posting, please pose a follow-up question to the class. Finally, respond to TWO of the questions posed by your peers. General Discussion Reminders: You are required to post your initial answers by Friday at midnight; your comments on the postings of your classmates are due on Sunday at midnight. Please be sure that your comments to peers are substantive; in other words, do not simply write I agree; if you agree, go on to expand your comments and add your own insights. I will use the following grading rubric to score your discussion postings: 1 3 points Provided only minimal response with no elaboration OR failed to complete follow-up postings. 4 7 points Provided basic response and follow-up postings. All postings are clear and relevant, but need to be elaborated in more detail. 8 10 points Provided detailed, complete responses and follow-up postings. All responses are elaborated and clear. NOTE: Post your initial comments to the discussion by clicking on the first Respond link below. To give feedback to a classmates post, click on the Respond link below his/her comment. FOR GROUP DISCUSSION:Week 3: Psychodynamic Theory: Jung and Horney Topic Debate Overview Weeks 4 through 6, we are going to engage in weekly topic debates. The weekly debate topic will involve an in-depth investigation of a controversial topic relevant to the field of personality psychology. Each of you will be assigned to a group; you will debate against the other group in THREE weekly debates (the groups will be posted in an announcement on the course homepage either Group A or Group B). In addition to providing an opportunity to engage in a lively debate on a topic relevant to personality psychology, the debates also requires you to fine-tune your skills in online communication. As such, a secondary goal of this project is effectively online peer-to-peer collaboration. Like all professional interactions and debates, the interdependent nature of the project is often more challenging than the topic you are focusing on. This type of communication is even more challenging in the online world; be sure that you debate in a professional, courteous manner. There is a separate Group A & Group B posting to coordinate your efforts. How the debates work: At the beginning of the term, I will assign each person to a debate group ( A or B ); each group will then be assigned to either the yes or no side of one of the debate topics (the names of each person in the group can be found in the announcement titled Topic Debate Groups that appears at the end of Week 3 or beginning of Week 4). For example, one topic debate might be Should couples be required to take personality tests during premarital counseling?. One group would be required to locate research and information to support a yes answer and the other group would be required to research and support a no answer.Please use the Debate group A & group B areas to coordinate your efforts. If someone is real good with computer presentations allow them to put it together in your group area for everyone in the group to see & agree before posting the official response on Friday.All topic debates will take place in a designated discussion thread.During each week 4-6, each group must provide ONE persuasive, informational post to the relevant discussion thread. This may be a page of written text, a PowerPoint presentation, a online video, or any other creative way of conveying your information. The information you provide does not have to be lengthy as long as it contains relevant information and is expanded to clearly explain your position. You are required to utilize and correctly reference one(1) quality, academic sources to support your position. You should use correct APA style in formatting your debate information.Each group must post their persuasive information by Friday at midnight. Finally, everyone in the class should read the debates and post his or her final thoughts by Sunday. When responding to the debates, you just need to write whether you support the yes or no side of the debate with a sentence or two highlighting why you support that position (also due on Sunday by midnight). You do not have to agree with the side of the debate that you were assigned to represent. Even though you will have researched to support one side of the debate you need to post what you decided after the debate is over.Points to keep in mind:While there is no right answer to this type of debate question, there is a body of research that either supports or refutes each side of the position. You should incorporate research into your response.This is a persuasive argument, not just an opinion. Your personal opinion may differ from the position that you are assigned to research and represent in the thread; this is fine, just be sure that you still create a persuasive argument for the assigned topic.I encourage you to be creative in your presentation of information. You are not limited to simple written text. You can use attachments or links to include a range of visual, audio or internet sources. Really push yourselves to represent your information in a creative, meaningful, interesting fashion. If you need ideas, please feel free to call or email and I will be happy to discuss your project with you.Because this project requires research, START EARLY! Do not wait until the last minute as it can be time consuming to prepare for a debate. You will notice that the topics are all listed on this page and the groups are assigned at the beginning of the term. This means that you should immediately start researching your debate question.Debate topics: WeekDebate TopicWeek 4Is personality a stable construct that is formed in childhood and remains relatively constant throughout the lifespan?Week 5Are parents responsible for the personality development and subsequent behavior of their children?Week 6Should a person be held legally responsible for criminal acts committed by their unconscious (or unconscious aspects of their personality)?Grading Rubric: 10 points per week (week 4, 5, and 6) CriteriaPoints Per Week correctly finds, interprets and utilizes relevant information (minimum 1 source)3able to communicate information in a persuasive manner3debate information is creative and interesting1correct use of grammar, spelling and APA style1individual response to the three weekly debates 2Total points times 3 for 30 points possible Week 3: Psychodynamic Theory: Jung and Horney Group A Discussion Group A Say Hello to your team membersGroup A, you are assigned to the following sides of topic debates starting week 4 to week 6.

discuss how the grammar and writing strategies and activities chosen build upon the previously taught reading and vocabulary skills.
Planning effective English language arts lessons involves focusing on multiple literacy skills, aligned to state or national standards, while incorporating interesting, student-centered activities. When focusing on grammar and writing, it is essential to set high expectations while presenting real-world connections, encouraging creativity, and keeping student interest in mind. Furthermore, focusing on using proper grammar and writing conventions in the ELA classroom is essential due to the interconnectivity of the two skill areas.For this assignment, use the COE Lesson Plan Template to create a standards-based grammar and writing lesson based on the selected literature.Include in your lesson:· Objectives aligned to state or national grade appropriate grammar and writing standards.· Content-specific vocabulary development.· Technology or multimedia that supports developmentally appropriate, engaging instruction.· Engaging instructional strategies and activities in grammar and writing.· Assessments aligned to learning objectives that are engaging for students and provide meaningful feedback.· Differentiation for exceptional students, culturally diverse students, and English language learners.In a 250-500 word rationale, discuss how the grammar and writing strategies and activities chosen build upon the previously taught reading and vocabulary skills.
What should Mark have done if Jack still was not able to resolve the problem?
1) APA FORMATE 2) ADD REFERENCES3)350 TO 400 WORDSQUESTIONS What should Mark have done if Jack still was not able to resolve the problem? Would it make sense for Mark to assign this problem to someone else now, after Jack could not solve the problem the second time around? McRoy Aerospace was a highly profitable company building cargo planes and refueling tankers for the armed forces. It had been doing this for more than fifty years and was highly successful. But because of a downturn in the governments spending on these types of planes, McRoy decided to enter the commercial aviation aircraft business, specifically wide-body planes that would seat up to 400 passengers, and compete head on with Boeing and Airbus Industries. During the design phase, McRoy found that the majority of the commercial airlines would consider purchasing its plane provided that the costs were lower than the other aircraft manu- facturers. While the actual purchase price of the plane was a consideration for the buyers, the greater interest was in the life-cycle cost of maintaining the operational readiness of the aircraft, specifically the maintenance costs. Operations and support costs were a considerable expense and maintenance requirements were regulated by the government for safety reasons. The airlines make money when the planes are in the air rather than sitting in a maintenance hangar. Each maintenance depot maintained an inventory of spare parts so that, if a part did not function properly, the part could be removed and replaced with a new part. The damaged part would be sent to the manufacturer for repairs or replacement. Inventory costs could be significant but were considered a necessary expense to keep the planes flying. One of the issues facing McRoy was the mechanisms for the eight doors on the aircraft. Each pair of doors had their own mechanisms which appeared to be restricted by their location in the plane. If McRoy could come up with a single design mechanism for all four pairs of doors, it would significantly lower the inventory costs for the airlines as well as the necessity to train mechanics on one set of mechanisms rather than four. On the cargo planes and refuel- ing tankers, each pair of doors had a unique mechanism. For commercial aircrafts, finding one design for all doors would be challenging. Mark Wilson, One of the department managers at McRoys design center, assigned Jack, the best person he could think of to work on this extremely challenging project. If anyone could accomplish it, it was Jack. If Jack could not do it, Mark sincerely believed it could not be done. The successful completion of this project would be seen as a value-added opportunity for McRoys customers and could make a tremendous difference from a cost and efficiency stand- point. McRoy would be seen as an industry leader in life-cycle costing, and this could make the difference in getting buyers to purchase commercial planes from McRoy Aerospace. The project was to design an opening/closing mechanism that was the same for all of the doors. Until now, each door could have a different set of open/close mechanisms, which made 2. © 2010 by Harold Kerzner. Reproduced by permission. All rights reserved. Case Studies 333 the design, manufacturing, maintenance, and installation processes more complex, cumber- some, and costly. Without a doubt, Jack was the bestand probably the onlyperson to make this happen even though the equipment engineers and designers all agreed that it could not be done. Mark put all of his cards on the table when he presented the challenge to Jack. He told him wholeheartedly that his only hope was for Jack to take on this project and explore it from every possible, out-of- the-box angle he could think of. But Jack said right off the bat that this may not be possible. Mark was not happy hearing Jack say this right away, but he knew Jack would do his best. Jack spent two months looking at the problem and simply could not come up with the solu- tion needed. Jack decided to inform Mark that a solution was not possible. Both Jack and Mark were disappointed that a solution could not be found. I know youre the best, Jack, stated Mark. I cant imagine anyone else even coming close to solving this critical problem. I know you put forth your best effort and the problem was just too much of a challenge. Thanks for trying. But if I had to choose one of your co-workers to take another look at this project, who might have even half a chance of making it happen? Who would you suggest? I just want to make sure that we have left no stone unturned, he said rather glumly. Marks words caught Jack by surprise. Jack thought for a moment and you could practi- cally see the wheels turning in his mind. Was Jack thinking about who could take this project on and waste more time trying to find a solution? No, Jacks wheels were turning on the sub- ject of the challenging problem itself. A glimmer of an idea whisked through his brain and he said, Can you give me a few days to think about some things, Mark? he asked pensively. Mark had to keep the little glimmer of a smile from erupting full force on his face. Sure, Jack, he said. Like I said before, if anyone can do it, its you. Take all the time you need. A few weeks later, the problem was solved and Jacks reputation rose to even higher heights than before.
