Sigmund Freud’s Iceberg Principle :Sigmund Freud’s Iceberg Principle
Sigmund Freud’s Iceberg Principle :Sigmund Freud’s Iceberg Principle Id - based on the pleasure principle; demands instant gratification; strives to survive at any cost; often associated with concept of “evil”; completely unconscious
Sigmund Freud’s Iceberg Principle :Sigmund Freud’s Iceberg Principle Superego - based on the morality principle; delays gratification; functions as the conscience (learned morals and socially acceptable behavior); mostly unconscious
Sigmund Freud’s Iceberg Principle :Sigmund Freud’s Iceberg Principle Ego - based on the reality principle; strives to balance the demands of the Id with the restraints of the Superego; floats between the conscious and unconscious
Carl Jung’s TheoryThe Collective Unconscious :Carl Jung’s TheoryThe Collective Unconscious Noticed patients shared same dreams and fears, regardless of race, gender, or country:
falling, escape, flying, sexual fulfillment
Called these primordial, universal symbols and images “archetypes”
Theorized people share these archetypes through the “collective” unconscious, similar to the way they share DNA through blood and flesh
Theorized people had a personal unconscious (Freudian idea) AND a collective unconscious
Carl Jung’s TheoryThe Collective Unconscious :Carl Jung’s TheoryThe Collective Unconscious Animals inherit survival knowledge through a process called “instinct”
Jung believed that humans inherited the knowledge of their ancestors through this “collective” unconscious
Mentally ill people are not sick, but perhaps haunted by their ancestors OR perhaps are experiencing the fears of their ancestors
Nightmares and hauntings could be result of guilt
Joseph Campbell’sArchetypal Monomyth :Joseph Campbell’sArchetypal Monomyth Interested in religion and myth
Noticed that every culture in the world shared the same heroic stories, regardless of race, age, gender, or country!
Drawing on the work of Jung, Campbell called this heroic story archetype the “monomyth” - meaning “one myth shared by all groups”
