psychoanalytic perspective

A psychoanalytic perspective is a method of studying the mind and treating mental and emotional disorders based on revealing and investigating the role of the unconscious mind that was developed by Sigmund Freud. Freud discovered that the psychoanalytic theory of personality is made of three elements. The three elements are the id, the ego, and the superego. These elements work together to complete complex human behaviors. The id is a reservoir of unconscious psychic energy that, according to Freud, strives to satisfy basic sexual and aggressive drives. The id operates on the pleasure of principle, which means the desire for immediate gratification. The ego is the component of personality that is responsible for dealing with reality. The ego operates on the reality principle, satisfying the id’s desires in ways that will realistically bring pleasure rather than pain. The superego is the part of the personality that represents internalized ideals and provides standards for the conscience and for future aspirations.
The humanistic perspective is focuses on the positive image of what it means to be human. Abraham Maslow proposed that a hierarchy of needs motivates an individual. The needs are physiological which is the satisfaction of hunger and thirst, safety (security), love (being loved), self-esteem, and self-actualization. Self-actualization is one of the ultimate psychological needs that arise after basic physical and psychological needs are met and self-esteem is achieved. Also Carl Rogers a humanistic psychologist agreed with Maslow and Rogers believed that a growth-promoting climate required three conditions. The three conditions are genuineness (open up with their own feelings), acceptance (offer unconditional positive regard), and empathy (share and mirror others’ feelings and reflect their meanings). The social cognitive perspective states that we learn behaviors through observation, modeling, and motivation such as positive reinforcement and was
