Frankl

On March 26, 1905 in Vienna, Austria Viktor Emil Frankl was born. Later in life he received his MD and PhD degrees from the University of Vienna where he studied psychiatry and neurology, mainly concerned with the areas of suicide and depression. While he was medical student in the late 20s, he successfully counseled high school students to nearly remove suicide. In 1942, Frankl and his parents, wife, and brother were arrested and sent to the Thereisienstadt concentration camp; Frankl’s father died there within six months. Over the course of three years, Frankl was moved between four concentration camps, including Auschwitz where his brother died and his mother was killed. Frankl’s wife died at Bergen-Belsen. Frankl used his experiences in the camps to develop his theory of logo therapy, which is sometimes referred to as the “Third Viennese School of Psychotherapy,” because Frankl cam after Sigmund Freud and Alfred Adler. Frankl believed that even in the middle of desensitizing and brutal conditions, life still had meaning and that suffering had a purpose. Frankl believed that during intense physical circumstances, a person could escape through his or her spiritual self as a way to survive what can seem to be intolerable conditions. He believed the spiritual self could not be affected by external forces. Frankl spent most of his later career studying existential methods of therapy. 

            Frankl argues that discovering importance in regular minutes can empower injury survivors to maintain a strategic distance from the severity and lack of care that are so frequently the results of torture, imprisonment, and prolonged trauma. He encourages those who have suffered traumatic incidents to think of people they would not want to disappoint, such as dead or distant family members, and to reflect on how they would like to be perceived by these loved ones. Frankl believes meaning can be found through creativity and work, human interaction and experience, and how we chose to respond to unavoidable suffering. Frankl's logo therapy is based on the philosopher Soren Kierkegaard's “will to meaning.” Frankl draws upon Kierkegaard's philosophy in arguing that the primary drive in life is the search for meaning—not the drive to sex or pleasure, as Freud theorized, or power, as Nietzsche and Adler argued. Logo therapy is a form of existential therapy that emphasized that people have the power to find meaning in anything they do.

Adler

Alfred Adler was born in Vienna, Austria, to Hungarian parents. He was the third child and the second son in a family of seven children. Adler was a frail boy, developing rickets when he was very young, before acquiring a near-fatal bout of pneumonia at age 5. Adler believed that these early life experiences were the major factors which guided him to become a physician. He then went on to attend the University of Vienna Medical School and in 1895 he received his degree. Adler began his foray into the medical profession in the field of ophthalmology. Together with Sigmund and Carl Jung, Adler helped to develop depth psychology, which underlines the importance of unconscious processes. He is commonly considered to be one of the most important figures in psychology. Adler was one of the first psychiatrists to present mental health into the world of education. He encouraged for prevention strategies intended to avoid the risks of mental illness and inappropriate coping skills, and contributed greatly to the field of social work. Adlerian psychology continues to pursue the study of overcompensation due to inferiority. A central idea of Adlerian psychology is that the unconscious works to change feelings of inferiority into feelings of superiority. Adler’s model suggests that behaviors, thoughts, and processing mechanisms are well embedded in a person by the age of five and that the relationships the child develops in early life, along with social and environmental forces, are directly responsible for the development of those traits. He also conducted research into the role that birth order plays in the development of the psyche. Adler combined theories of psycho-dynamics and teleology, the study of final causes and the ways in which things are designed toward these causes, in his work. As part of this belief, he put emphasis on psychological processes that are guided by an unknown, goal-oriented force.

The Psychology of Chandler Bing

We all know Chandler Bing as the funny guy from the sitcom Friends. Chandler is the child of the acclaimed suggestive author Nora Bing and Vegas cross-dresser star Charles Bing, who separated when he was youthful. His mom went by every so often, for example, amid the New York stop on a visit for her most recent book and later for Chandler and Monica's wedding. Chandler did not have much contact with his dad for a lot of his grown-up life, humiliated at his decision of professions—which made his adolescence hopeless—until Monica induced him to go to Vegas to welcome his dad to their up and coming wedding. Chandler's closest companion is Joey Tribbiani, who he met when scanning for a flat mate for his loft. He likewise had an on-off association with nasal-voiced Janice Hosenstein before winding up with Monica, and this ex returns continually in his life, frequently sadly. Chandler is maybe best known for his mocking comical inclination. He is frequently making jokes that serve to pester as opposed to interest his companions, and getting away uncomfortable circumstances with silliness. This deriding is regularly betrayed him, notwithstanding, with the reoccurring inquiries of his sexuality and the way that nobody really recognizes what he does at work.

Carl Jung would see the "quality" Chandler's companions say he have, that makes them question his sexuality, as the anima prime example. This model is the ladylike side of a man, or the thought that each man comprehends what it is similar to be a female. Jung would likewise see that Chandler's personality as a youngster did not need to continue as before as he developed—in reality, Chandler shows development during the time of "Companions", developing from somebody who considered almost no important into a cherishing father and spouse.

Chandler frequently utilizes funniness that communicates perspectives of his own inadequacy and individual disappointments, which Alfred Adler may translate as a feeling of inadequacy. Chandler frequently appears to expect disappointment, and accordingly not attempt to accomplish an objective. Particularly as far as connections, he tends to contrast himself with his well known flat mate, Joey, who is regularly on dates with arbitrary, appealing ladies—which has prompted Chandler building up a feeling of inadequacy. As far as the key social issues Adler says a man encounters throughout their life, Chandler has the most accomplishment at societal assignments, for example, building companionships. He has a nearby gathering of companions, is still near his flat mate from school, and has suitable interpersonal organizations. In any case, Chandler initially did not have as much accomplishment in word related undertakings—while he was working at the huge organization in insights and information reconfiguration, a profession that did not make him feel advantageous. It was a careless, disparaging employment where the outcomes did not hold much significance and none of his companions could even be tried to recollect what he really did. In any case, when he leaves this place of employment in the wake of being constrained into an exchange to Oklahoma that isolates him from his new wife, Monica, Chandler can break into publicizing lastly feel that he has an advantageous profession. He additionally begins off inadequately in taking care of his adoration undertaking of finding a suitable sentimental accomplice, dating here and there—while being excessively incredulous of the ladies he met—until he begins to trepidation developing old alone. He in the long run discovers his life-accomplice in Monica and along these lines finds a significant relationship and finishes this undertaking.

Karen Horney's masochist adapting styles have application in the investigation of Chandler's personality also. His most remarkable adapting technique would be his jokes, which could be translated as either "moving toward" individuals, or conversely "moving endlessly" from individuals. In the event that he is advising these jokes to get a snicker out of the general population around him, he is showing the "moving toward" individuals adapting system, attempting to conceal his sentiments of unworthiness from others by making them glad keeping in mind the end goal to procure their affection. Then again, if these jokes are utilized—as is more normal—to camouflage inconvenience and abstain from getting excessively near a man, his adapting procedure is more reliable with "moving without end" from individuals: he utilizes the cleverness to pull back from any passionate connection to abstain from getting hurt in interpersonal connections.

Erik Erikson would see Chandler in all likelihood as some place in the middle of the phases of intimacy versus isolation and generativity versus stagnation. As another spouse and father, Chandler is figuring out how to associate with his wife and newborn children on a more cozy level—to a greater degree a test for somebody used to autonomy and less enthusiastic venture. He is additionally in a vocation move from an occupation that gave a relentless paycheck however did not do much as far as offering back to society. He battles to discover a reason that makes his work advantageous.

Jung

Carl Gustav Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist born on July 26, 1875, in Kesswil, Switzerland. As the only son of a Protestant clergyman, Jung was a quiet, observant child who packed certain loneliness as a single child. However, he spent hours observing the role of the adults around him, something that no doubt shaped his later career and work. This was most likely a result of his isolation. In 1900, Jung graduated the University of Basel and attained his M.D. two years later from the University of Zurich. While attending the University of Zurich, Jung worked on the staff at Burgholzli Asylum, where he was greatly influenced by Eugene Bleuler, an innovative psychologist who arranged the groundwork for what is now considered classical studies of mental illness. Jung's growing reputation as a psychologist and his work dealing with the subconscious eventually led him to the ideas of Sigmund Freud and, later, to the man himself.    

Jung believed that symbol creation was a key in understanding human nature. Jung defines symbols as the best possible expression for something fundamentally unfamiliar. He was concerned with investigating the similarity of symbols that are located in different religious, mythological, and magical systems which varies throughout cultures and time periods. In order to justify the similarities in symbols occurring across different cultures and time periods he suggested the existence of two layers of the unconscious psyche. The first of the two layers was the individual unconscious. It contains what the individual has gained in his or her life, yet has been overlooked or stifled. The second layer is the aggregate oblivious which contains the memory follows normal to all mankind. These encounters structure models. These are inborn inclinations to encounter and symbolize certain circumstances distinctly. There are numerous prime examples, for example, having folks, finding a mate, having youngsters, and going up against death. Exceptionally mind boggling prime examples are found in all fanciful and religious frameworks. Close to the end of his life Jung included that the most profound layers of the oblivious capacity freely of the laws of space, time and causality. This is the thing that offers ascend to paranormal wonders. The main components of personality according to Jung are the introvert and the extrovert. The introvert is quiet, withdrawn and interested in ideas rather than people. While the extrovert is outgoing and socially oriented. For Jung a person that had a healthy personality can realize these opposite inclinations within him/her and can express each. Dreams serve to reward for any neglected parts of the personality.

Freud

Sigmund Freud was born in the Freiberg, Austria on May 6, 1856. In 1881 he received his medical degree and got engaged the following year. Freud quickly set up a private practice and began treating numerous psychological disorders. He considered himself primarily a scientist, rather than a doctor; he attempted to understand the passage of human knowledge and experience. Freud was greatly influenced by the work of his friend and Viennese colleague, Josef Breuer, who had discovered that when he encouraged a hysterical patient to talk openly about the earliest incidences of the symptoms, the symptoms sometimes gradually stopped. 

Freud’s concepts include the belief that when we explain our behavior to ourselves or others it is rare that we will give a true account out motivations. However, this does not necessarily mean we are deliberately lying. Although human beings are great liars of others, they are even more skillful at self-deception. Our explanations of our behavior are therefore concealing the real reasons. Freud was the founding father of psychoanalysis, a method for treating and also a theory which explains human behavior. Freud was also a huge supporter of free talk therapy. Freud's theory is good at explaining but not at predicting behavior, which is one of the goals of science. For this reason Freud's theory is unjustifiable, it can neither be proved true or refuted. For example, the unconscious mind is difficult to test and measure objectively. Overall, Freud's theory is highly unscientific.
