PSYC-2009-3,Theories of Personalityweek 1 discussionPsychoanalytic Theorists and TheoriesTheories are conjectures, or, at best, frameworks for explaining information and data about what might be true; they are never proven and are not intended for proving facts. As a result, theories often have “weak” spots or holes. Therefore, although personality theories may explain certain aspects of a situation or behavior quite convincingly, they may not be as strong in other areas.Freud’s psychoanalytic theory of personality is no exception. One of the problems with Freud’s theory was in the difficulty of testing his ideas. For this reason (and others), there were theorists who separated themselves from Freud’s work. If they did not separate themselves entirely, they expanded and incorporated aspects of Freud’s theory of psychoanalysis while developing their own theories to explain personality anomalies and phenomena.For this Discussion, you will review the personality theories of Freud, Jung, Erikson, Adler, Horney, and Sullivan. You will consider how these alternative personality theories differ from Freud’s and how they are similar. Finally, you will evaluate key contributions of each theory and analyze their strengths and limitations.To prepare, visit each website listed in your Learning Resources for the following individuals and consider their contributions to personality theory: Freud, Jung, Erikson, Adler, Horney, and Sullivan. Choose one of these theorists for your post. In addition, review the media selection in the Learning Resources for this week: The Power of Introverts.Post by Day 4 a description of which theorist you would like to discuss (please note your selection in the title of your post). How has your selected theorist provided the most practical or useful ideas for understanding self, others, and daily interactions? Explain. Briefly describe one specific concept or idea developed by your theorist that you find particularly helpful. Finally, conclude by noting one strength and one limitation of viewing personality from your theorist’s viewpoint.
