Is Freud's view of unconscious motivation still influential?

Yes, Freud's view of unconscious motivation continues to be influential in the field of psychology, particularly in psychoanalytic therapy. While some aspects of his theories have been modified or challenged by contemporary research, Freud's emphasis on the impact of unconscious processes on behavior and mental health remains relevant. Many therapists still explore unconscious motives and conflicts with their clients to understand and address psychological issues.


What are the current ideas regarding Freuds dream analysis?

Freud continues to be regarded as the original thinker and pioneer in the psychoanalytical interpretation of dreams, or rather, interpretation of dreams in pursuit of psychoanalysis. Freudian analysis continues to be respected and practiced by Freudian psychologists, although each analyst adopts Freud's methods to her/his own work. From a broader perspective, psychology in general tends to view Freud's narrow view of dreams as strictly wish-fulfillment as too dogmatic. Students of Freud as early as Carl Jung began diverging from Freud's limited interpretations, and now there are many different approaches to dream interpretation and analysis.

What is an example of a negative view of health?

A negative view of health would be that the individual may think they are fit and well as they do not suffer from any illness or disease. They may over eat unhealthy foods and never exercise. They believe that they are fit and healthy due to not having an illness but are unable to realise that they way they are eating may cause future problems and illness. This would not be completely accurate as many diseases and disorders can go unnoticed. And due to not having checkups or not seeing the GP, many illnesses can go unnoticed until it is into its final stage.

Why do you think karen horney and sigmund freud had such different veiws of women?

Karen Horney and Sigmund Freud had different views on women because they came from distinct theoretical backgrounds and perspectives. Freud's views were influenced by his psychoanalytic theory, which emphasized innate biological drives like the Oedipus complex. Horney, on the other hand, critiqued Freud's theory and argued for a more social and cultural explanation of human behavior, leading her to have a more empowering and egalitarian view of women.
