Question 2

Discuss Freud's view of how psychoanalysis leads to positive personality change.

Accepted Answer

Freud believed that psychoanalysis leads to positive personality change by bringing unconscious conflicts and desires into conscious awareness. Through the process of free association, dream analysis, and transference, the patient is able to explore and understand the underlying causes of their psychological issues. By gaining insight into these unconscious motivations, the patient can work through their conflicts and develop healthier coping mechanisms.

Freud also emphasized the importance of the therapeutic relationship in facilitating positive personality change. The therapist serves as a supportive and non-judgmental guide, helping the patient to explore their thoughts and feelings in a safe and trusting environment. Through this process, the patient can develop a greater sense of self-awareness and self-acceptance, leading to improved self-esteem and a more positive self-concept.

Overall, Freud believed that psychoanalysis leads to positive personality change by uncovering and resolving unconscious conflicts, developing insight and self-awareness, and fostering a supportive therapeutic relationship. This process allows the individual to achieve a greater sense of psychological well-being and a more adaptive and fulfilling way of relating to themselves and others.
