What is psychoanalysis? We are sure that question has been wandering inside your head. So, what is the relationship between psychoanalysis and literature, especially children literature (since it becomes the main discussion of this paper)? Through this paper, we will help you getting clearer understanding about all of that. As we know, the founder of psychoanalysis theory was Sigmund Freud. He was (6 May 1856 – 23 September 1939) an Austrian neurologist who became known as the founding father of psychoanalysis. According to his profession, we can simplify the definition of psychoanalysis; it is a talking cure, which the language and narrative are fundamental to the curing process. For further information, according to Merriam Webster’s definition: Psychoanalysis: (noun) A system of psychological theory and therapy that aims to treat mental disorders by investigating the interaction of conscious and unconscious elements in the mind and bringing repressed fears and conflicts into the conscious mind by techniques such as dream interpretation and free association. Psychoanalytic is the adjective form of psychoanalysis. To make it simple, this theorydesignates accordingly three things: 1. A method of mind investigation and especially of the unconscious mind; 2. A therapy of neurosis inspired from the above method; 3. A new stand-alone discipline which is based on the knowledge acquired from applying the investigation method and clinical experiences.

Psychoanalysis has had a long gestation, during the course of which it has experienced multiple rebirths, leading some current authors to complain that there has been such a proliferation of theories of psychoanalysis over the past 115 years that the field has become theoretically fragmented and is in disarray (Fonagy & Target, 2003; Rangell, 2006). In this paper, I survey the past and present landscapes of psychoanalytic theorizing and clinical practice to trace the evolution of Freud's original insights and psychoanalytic techniques to current theory and practice. First, I sketch the evolutionary chronology of psychoanalytic theory; second, I discuss the key psychoanalytic techniques derived from clinical practice, with which psychoanalysis is most strongly identified; third, I interrogate whether Freud's original theoretical conceptualizations and clinical practices are still recognizable in current psychoanalytic theory and practice, using four key exemplars – object relations theory, attachment-informed psychotherapy, existential/phenomenological and intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy; and fourth, I discuss recent unhelpful, disintegrative developments in psychoanalytic scholarship. To this end, I critique the cul-de-sacs into which some psychoanalytic scholars have directed us, and conclude with the hope that the current state of affairs can be remedied. Psychoanalysis is simultaneously a form treatment, a theory, and an " investigative tool " (Lothane, 2006, p. 711). Freud used each of these three facets of psychoanalysis iteratively to progress our understanding of human mental functioning. Among Freud's unique theoretical insights into the human condition was the historically new idea that humans are primarily animals driven by instincts (Freud, 1915a, 1920) who undergo growth via universal developmental (psychosexual) stages that are influenced by family and social life. This was in opposition to the prevailing view of his time that humanity was God's highest creation. Freud (1908) challenged the cherished belief that humankind is rational and primarily governed by reason, replacing it with the disturbing notion that we are in fact driven by unacceptable and hence repressed aggressive and sexual impulses that are constantly at war with the " civilized " self. Freud himself and Freud scholars (Jones, 1953; Strachey, 1955) consider that the Studies on Hysteria (Breuer & Freud, 1893) mark the beginning of psychoanalysis as a theory and a treatment. These early papers place the causes of the symptoms of hysteria firmly in the psychological, not the neurological domain (although such a distinction is no longer sustainable), thus moving thinking about the cause of hysterical and other psychological symptoms from the brain to the mind. This insight underpinned a paradigm shift in thinking about the mental functioning of human beings, for which there was a scant vocabulary and embryonic conceptualizations. The theory that organized early clinical observations gradually unfolded, many precepts of which have entered the psychological lexicon as givens, concepts that are now taken for granted. Three of these bedrock concepts are the existence of the Unconscious, the notion of hidden meaning and the idea of repression.

Human behavior encompasses interplay of various factors that nurture and influence perceptions. The most notable influences entail the psychological perspectives progressed by renowned psychologists such as Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. Predominantly, Freud pioneered the psychological analysis of the human behavior through the concept of psychoanalysis.

A major weakness in Erdelyi's account concerns the claim that repression can become conscious. A relational account of cognition demonstrates that if repression is successful, then the repressive act cannot become known. Additionally, “resistance” further distinguishes “repression” from “suppression.” Rather than blurring the distinction between these processes, it is possible to recognise a series of defences. Suggestions are provided for alternative research avenues.

Athletics Could Trade Rising Young Star; Could Yankees Join Sweepstakes?

Patrick mcavoy | may 12, 2024.

• New York Yankees

There are sure to be some big-name players on the move this summer.

It already has been a rollercoaster of a season and as we start to get closer to the 2024 Major League Baseball trade deadline there's sure to be even more movement. Clubs have started to trade earlier than expected with the Miami Marlins dealing All-Star infielder Luis Arráez to the San Diego Padres.

There are sure to be plenty more deals and the New York Yankees likely will be linked to many of the top players expected to be traded. New York already is loaded with talent but seems to be going all in on the 2024 season and likely will make a few moves.

Speculation already has started to pick up about who could be traded and one player who has been mentioned is Oakland Athletics rising young star Mason Miller. The 25-year-old has been fantastic so far this season for Oakland and the club reportedly is listening to offers for him already, according to USA Today Sports' Bob Nightengale.

"The Oakland A’s are listening on offers for closer Mason Miller, who has struck out 33 of the 60 batters he has faced this season, but the asking price is so steep he’s expected to stay put," Nightengale.

New York already has a great closer in Clay Holmes, but he will be a free agent at the end of the season. Adding Miller could be a major boost this season and for years to come. He could take over eighth-inning duties and then if Holmes leaves this offseason, he could move into the closer role next season.

The Yankees already have the best bullpen in baseball but trading for Miller would help make it even better.
