Abstract Methodological considerations Phenomenology is a philosophy that began in 1900 with the publication of Logical Investigations by Edmund Husserl (1970). In that work Husserl introduced a novel way of examining and studying the phenomenon of consciousness. While Husserl laid out the main dimensions of the phenomenological movement, almost every follower of his deviated from him in some manner or other. Since there are a variety of phenomenological interpretation method have taken place within psychology. Husserl had said that the phenomenological method was descriptive based upon the intuition of the given. His famous student Heidegger, claimed that the true phenomenological method was interpretation. This caused a division among phenomenologists …show more content…
With descriptive approaches one tries to describe the experiences being lived through very carefully and once the raw data has been obtained, a thorough phenomenological psychological analysis of the data takes place within the perspective of the phenomenological psychological reduction. Without the reduction, no claim that the analysis is phenomenological can be made today. Again, this special attitude shift involves the epoché, which means to set aside all knowledge not being directly presented to consciousness, and then to consider what is given not as actually existing but merely as something present to consciousness. The presented intuitions are then carefully described and analyzed. There are actually several forms or types of phenomenological reductions in Husserl and the method we are presenting in this chapter uses only one of them – the phenomenological psychological reduction. The psychological phenomenological method includes the same steps as the philosophical method (description, reduction and essence) but the steps are not followed in an identical way. Criteria related to scientific psycho-logical research (rather than that of philosophy) modify the implementation of the steps but the steps remain consistent within the entire context of …show more content…
A meaning unit is determined whenever R, in a psychological perspective and mindful of the phenomenon being researched, experiences a transition in meaning when he or she re reads the description from the beginning. Slashes are placed in the description at appropriate places Step 4 R, still within the scientific phenomenological reduction, then intuits and transforms P’s Life world expressions into expressions that highlight the psychological meanings lived by P. This requires the use of free imaginative variation as well as rendering implicit factors explicit Step 5 Based upon the transformed meaning units, and still within the scientific phenomenological reduction, R uses the transformed meaning unit expressions as the basis for describing the psychological structure of the experience Ethical
This idea is also present in both modern and classical psychology. Psychology attempts to explain the actions and thoughts of humans, which are tied to the meaning they ascribe to life. That meaning is in turn shaped by the philosophical environments. Plato’s “Allegory Of The Cave” and John Campbell’s “Myth And The Modern World” demonstrate how the effects of a philosophical environment on meaning extend to psychology and the actions of people in a society. Plato gives a discourse on the enlightenment of an individual and how that changes their perspective, while Campbell discusses the real world effects of mythologies, which help shape philosophical
There are hundreds of works of literature out in the world, many of them are great, and some are not as great. What makes them great is the truth behind them, the true feelings, and what it truly meant to the author. Many great works of literature are influenced by several different things, in the case of “The Metamorphosis”, it was influenced by the life of Franz Kafka, the author, and his real- life experiences. The Freudian concept help explain why “The Metamorphosis” contains symbols and clues that can be used to compare certain relationships throughout Kafka’s life, one being with his father, and the other with woman who entered his life. Franz Kafka was a German man who worked as a lawyer who worked at the workmen’s Accident Insurance
All mental behavior had an unconscious cause. He believed in talking and listening to a individual talking about their unconscious personality’s. So, they could work out their problems rather than giving them medicine or a lobotomy. advantages of psychodynamic is that it made the case study popular. It emphasizes the importance of childhood because it explains how certain mental diseases and trauma starts from childhood.
An analysis of Psycho In this essay, I will discuss how the structural elements of narrative with Tzvetan Todorov’s theory, the props and the POVs work together to direct audiences’ responses. Moreover, I will use Graeme Turner’s “meanings” to discuss one oppositional reading that I produce. First of all, In Todorov’s theory, he believe there is a basic structural pattern to narratives, all narrative is a movement between two equilibriums, which can divided into equilibrium to Disequilibrium (Disruption: Something happen to disrupt that normality, Recognition of the disruption, Attempts to repair the disrurtion) to new equilibrium.
1. Utilizing the course textbook, there are a total of five lessons that are presented throughout the chapter. The first of these lessons is regarding the traditional themes that were once displayed throughout psychology; this can be subcategorized into three aspects. The concept of the mind-body problem, both biological and social factors, and the concerns that contribute to theory and practice. Since the controversy of the mind-body problem is so evident throughout psychology in general, a suitable person who would contribute to this lesson would be Searle and his studies regarding subjectivity.
Introduction Throughout the history of concepts such as behaviourism and the psychodynamic approach, there are many similarities yet there is also a variety of underlying differences between both approaches. The writer will compare and contrast these methods of investigation. By juxtaposing events, an in depth analysis will be analysed to further ones knowledge of each approach. Behaviourism
And the other reason was that they realized that psychological processes must have a physiological basis. In the past, researches were carried regarding the
However, due to the limitation of skills, most of the researches done are not well designed. A main limitation of psychology as a field of study is that it never captures the nature of consciousness (Willig, 2013), as human mind is bound up with meanings and interpretations which differ from one individual to another
The main aim of this assignment is to find out the strength and weakness, similarities and differences between the different approaches of psychology such as biological approach, behavioural approach and psychodynamic approach. I have chosen mental illness to evaluate these approach. The biological, behavioural and psychodynamic approaches of psychology are connected to the nature and nurture argument. The biological approach highly talks about nature side of the argument and states that all behaviour is biological and is treatable.
Psychology is the scientific study of how human think, how they feel about issues and their behaviour in this research we will learn the meaning of perspectives in Psychology, dwelling on the biological and behavioural approach, I will discuss the difference and commonalities between the two perspectives. WHAT’S PERSEPCTIVE IN PSYCHOLOGY In contemporary psychology perspective simply implies an approach that involves some assumptions about how people behave, how they function and the best way to define this seeming behaviours. There is no one way to approach this perspectives, one is not above the other, though for a long while the behavioural approach was holding the ace being assumed to be the only scientific one.
Getting a human action is the meaningful. We must know in which rules human action treated. Because it gives to this meaning. And these rules reflections of the intensional content of desire and belief. So, Belief and Desire are the explanations of the human action.
There are four main perspectives in psychology. These are known as; biological perspective, learning perspective, cognitive perspective, and sociocultural perspective. Each perspective aids in the understanding of human behavior. However, not one perspective can explain all of human behaviors. This is due to each perspective playing different roles in ones behavior.
In terms of psychology when you take an approach within the context studies of a whole person, and the uniqueness of each individual; it would lead for this definite phrase to be reflected towards the expression of Humanistic, Humanism, and Humanist concepts that are inputted to structure the psychological field. Now, humanism is definite as a psychological perspective that underlines the study of a whole person. While, Humanistic psychologists view the human behavior, through the vision of the person doing the behavior. Indeed, it would lead for Humanism to reject the assumptions of the behaviorist perspective that would be characterized in the following traits of deterministic, focused on reinforcement of stimulus- response behavior and heavily dependent on animal research.
Although archetypal analysis might not be the most appropriate method to conduct such an undertaking, Jung’s analytical psychology would prove Rotor’s aim is to justify life through his short stories. II. In the short story Deny the Mockery, Arturo Rotor has made a reflective account about life through the anima, the archetype of meaning. A. The character of a convict named Johnny reflects the archetypal ideas of conduct or the anima.
Moreover, it so happens that psychologist, when one wants to prove one’s hypothesis. This essay aims to conduct a psychobiography on my life. In my biography, I amis acquainted with some of Sigmund and Jung’s work and those of other psychologist and that
