SummaryAlmost the exact opposite of what The Life and Times of Frida Kahlo represented, this show represented how children should act. They should be open, accepting of their peers, seeking what is on the inside versus what is on the outside. Unlike Saving Faces, it downplayed the role of physical appearance in personal identity, but also unlike The Life and Times of Frida Kahlo, it is a strict example of correct social development, and plays up the role of social interactions in development, which can be understood since the audience would consist of younger children who are not quite at a point yet to take true conscious control of their development.

SummaryI have always been wary of psychoanalysis. In my own studies of psychology, I have preferred personality psychology to social psychology, but psychoanalysis has always rested somewhere between the two. A personal prejudice, perhaps, since psychoanalysis is concerned only with personality, but I find its pessimistic focus to be more closely related to a collectivist study.
I digress.
Psychoanalysis makes room only for the abnormal personality. From hysteria to bisexuality, the science searches for these small failures in the human psyche, the mistakes of development, the errors within that blueprint that we should all follow. But this idea of a blueprint, a right way to form, seems to me a social psychological notion. We are meant to be the same; only when we are mistakes do we earn a sense of individuality.

Table of Contents- Sigmund Freud described his psychosexual stages in his 'Three Essays on Sexuality.?
- I have two deep-set problems with this psychoanalytic way of thinking.
- I believe every branch of psychology should focus on the individual.
- To Dora, Herr K. oversteps a boundary. He destroys a trust between man and woman, between man and child.
- What Winnicott presents is not just a theory, but a theory open to interpretation, a theory that actually encourages interpretation.
- Psychoanalytic theory suffers in many ways from the stereotypes it imposes on itself, these ideas of psychosexual norms and developmental stages.
- Once again this is a more personalized aspect of psychoanalysis, where the relationship between the individual and art is expected but not defined.
- Perhaps one final point on psychoanalysis: in many ways, Freud was both the best and the worst of the discipline.
