UniT 7 THE FAMILY AND PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT





            The family that Vicky and Jason grow up in is probably the largest single influence on their development. Were their births planned and welcome? How old were their parents? How well do the personalities of parents and child mesh? Are the parents healty? Are they wealthy or poor? How many people live at home?  Influence travels in the other direction too. Children also effect their parent in untold ways, transforming parents day-to-day moods, priorities and plans for the future-even a marriage it self.                 
            Family life for both Vicky and Jason is quite different from what it would have been a century ago, and family life is likely to change even more in the future. A child growing up today is likely to have only one sibling, a mother who works outside the home, and a father who is more involved in his children’s lives than his own father was; and to receive a considerable amount of daily care from non relatives, first in caregiver’s home or day care center and than at preschool. Today’s children have a 40 percent chance of spending part of their childhood with only one parent’s probably the mother and probably because of divorce.
            These changes have revolutionized the study of socialization how children learn the behaviors their culture considers appropriate. In the past, most reseacrhes focused on mothers and their children, but now researches are studying the bounds between children and their fathers, their brothers and sisters, their grandparents, and other caregiver’s.
            Another fascinating trend in research is the focus on the entire family. How does Ellen and Charles’ marital relationship affect the relationship that each spouse has with Vicky? Do Julia and Jess differently with Jason when either one is alone with him yielded provocative findings. For example, when both parents are parents and talking to each other, they pay less attention to their child. In some families, the spouses closeness to each other detract their ability to be close to their children; in others the parenting experience strengthens the marriage tie. By looking at the family as a unit, we get a fuller picture of the web relationships among family members.

UNIT 2 , SIGMUND FREUD


Sigmund Freud was an Austrian doctor who explored the workings of
the human mind .He developed psychoanalysis, which is both a way treating
neurosis, or mental disturbances, and a theory of how the mind works.
Freud was born in Moravia, now part of Czechoslovakia. When he was
four, his family moved to Vienna, Austria. Freud entered the University of
Vienna when he was 17.One day he attended a lecture on nature. He was so
fascinated that he made up his mind to become a doctor.
Freud became interested in diseases of the mind. In 1885, he won a
fellowship to study in Paris under the guidance of a doctor, Jean Martin
Chariot, who was famous for his work on this kind of diseases. The next
year, Freud returned to Vienna, married, and began to treat diseases of the
mind.
Freud ha great insight into the human mind .He thought that every
person is born whit certain needs, he said, are unconscious - people are not a
ware of thinking a bout such needs. Freud named the part of mind
controlling these instinctive unconscious needs the id, and said that person's
id operates to give pleasure.
Freud also said that, as we grow up from infancy, we acquire an ego, a
collection of memories and thoughts that help us deal with the word around
us. We continue to grow, and from the teaching of our family and society,
we develop a superego- a conscience. Our superego and id often push in
opposite ways .Our ego usually reduces this conflict by helping us to get
pleasure without "hurting " our conscience.
But if a person unconscious thoughts and needs are very strong, they
may cause unusual behavior, or neurosis. Freud's treatment for neurosis is
psychoanalysis (examination of the mind), a method for uncovering these
unconscious thoughts and understanding how they cause problems, Freud
thoughts that dreams - even dreams that seem to make no sense- are a very
important clue to understanding the mind.
