Next Reading on Other Theorists

You guys are doing a great job! I have been receiving numerous compliments about the work you are doing with these postings. Continue the good work!!

Read p. 464 -469. Do these Neo-Freudians make more or less sense than Sigmund Freud? Which of their theories, if any, sound the best?

Please post by October 20.

Freud or Fraud?

Time to take a position! I have taken a lot of time explaining Freudian theory in much detail. Was that time well-spent? Based on the readings, tell us if you think Freud was a "fraud" and I have misused the limited time we have in Psychology. Or do you think Freudian theory is relevant still today and should continue to be an important part of any Psychology curriculum.

Again, multiple postings and parental participation gets you extra credit!!

FIRST POST DUE OCTOBER 6!!
