Personality Continued: Neo-Freudians and Projective tests


The Neo-Freudians:

  • Unlike Freud, Adler believed that childhood tensions were social in nature.
  • Horney believe in the social aspect of childhood and countered Freud's assumption that women suffer from "penis envy."
  • Jung believed in collective unconscious (common reservoir among humans). 

Projective Test: Used to evaluate the unconscious mind.

  • Thematic Apperception Test: (TAT)- by Henry Murry, is a projective test in which people express their feelings by making up stories about ambiguous pictures.
