Freud and Fun
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) According to Boynton (2000) Sigmund Freud's theory of psychoanalysis has been challenged and revised from the moment it was conceived. What, we might now read as outrageous fiction, has become the fodder of light-night talk shows which perhaps is damning enough. This discussion will focus on some of Freud's creative ideas concerning the human psyche, and see where they stand today. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Freud and Human Nature.
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) according to Freud (1930) human nature is "the struggle between Eros and Death, between the instinct of life and the instinct of destruction, as it works itself out in the human species. This struggle is what all life essentially consists of, and the evolution of civilization may therefore be described as the struggle for life of the human species. He adds that the sense of guilt is the most important problem in the development of civilization’ and that ‘the price we pay for our advance in civilization is a loss of happiness through the heightening of the sense of guilt’ Personal responses to this statement are given.

Freud as a Novelist
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page paper which discusses the concept of Freud's work reading like a novel. The works of Freud's that are used to illustrate this are his studies involving "Rat Man" (Ernst Lanzer) and "Dora" (Ida Bauer). Freud was incredibly opinionated and in his case studies he often put in his own words, rather than the words of the subject, attempting to focus the text on one aspect or another of the study. In doing so, in light of the unique characters he studied, much of his case studies seemed to read like novels. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
