Harold Blum: Ego Psychology and Contemporary Structural Theory

While traditional structural theory has put primary emphasis upon oedipal <bb>>conflictb>bb>> and the tripartite contributions to unconscious <bb>>conflictb>bb>>, ego psychological-object relations theory tends to describe <bb>>conflictb>bb>> in terms of internalised object relations and the opposing units of self, object, and affect.
Arlow and Brenner (1988) believed that the theoretical concepts concerning <bb>>conflictb>bb>>, defense, and pathogenesis, etc. are properly correlated with a derivative theory of technique, and that theory must influence technique.
Structural <bb>>conflictb>bb>> was still considered the critical issue and arrests, deviations, and deficits could only be attenuated through the analysis of unconscious intrapsychic <bb>>conflictb>bb>> concomitant with the analytic experience.

Culture <bb>>Conflictb>bb>> Theory

Rather than conceptualizing deviance as a problem of the stress and strain related to a weakening of social control, the idea, rooted in a Marxist image of social inequality and competition, of the social system being constituted by diverse cultural groups with conflicting interests, values, and norms emerged.
Proposition 1: <bb>>Conflictb>bb>> between authorities and subjects occurs when behavioral differences between authorities and subjects are compounded by cultural differences.
Under what conditions are authority-subject cultural and behavioral differences transformed into legal <bb>>conflictb>bb>>?

Queer theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This point of view places these scholars of Queer theory in <bb>>conflictb>bb>> with some branches of feminism that view prostitution and pornography, for example, as mechanisms for the oppression of women.
Queer theory is an anti-essentialist theory about sex and gender (and often other aspects of identity, especially race) within the larger field of Queer studies.
In her 1991 essay "Tracking the Vampire," Case saw in queer theory the chance to escape the reinscription of sexual difference that marks lesbian theory and gay male theory.

Oedipus complex

The Oedipus <bb>>conflictb>bb>> or Oedipus complex was described as a state of psychosexual development and awareness first occurring around the age of 3 and a half years (a period of development known as the genital stage in Freudian theory).
Adler believed that the repression theory should be replaced with the concept of ego-defensive tendencies - the neurotic state derived from inferiority feelings and overcompensation of the masculine protest, Oedipal complexes were insignificant.
In fact it aroused Freud's anger for he had more complex construction of the female Oedipal complex: The girl is originally attached to the mother as well, however the discovery of the absence of a penis leads to an anger at the mother, who is held responsible.

Even today analysts habitually speak and, what is more important, think of successful analysis as resolving pathogenic conflicts, as though the conflicts over the sexual and aggressive wishes that give rise to neurotic symptoms disappear when one is restored to health by analysis.
As he put it, it often requires analytic work to help a patient become aware, not only of the instinctual side of the patient's pathogenic conflicts, but of their defensive aspect as well.
The term, structural theory, is often used to designate the whole of psychoanalytic <bb>>conflictb>bb>> theory.

The Inner Eye Theory of Laughter: Mindreader Signals Cooperator Value by Wonil Edward Jung

This theory is incorporated in the Inner Eye theory in the forms of the contrast between the false belief and the current belief of the laugher and the <bb>>conflictb>bb>> between those who undergo relatively positive welfare changes and those who undergo relatively negative welfare changes.
In his theory of humor as a disabling mechanism, Chafe has argued that the purpose of humor is to prevent people “from acting upon or ‘taking seriously’ conditions and conclusions into which they are misled by the misapplication of natural processes of human reasoning” (Chafe, 1987).
The Inner Eye theory is consistent with the view that the mind/brain uses innate and domain-specific representations in constantly theorizing the causal relationships between the mental states that it observes, including those within itself, and the events that it experiences, whether the emotional events occurring within or the sensory events originating from the outside world.

Truth Maintenance with Cognitive Dissonance by Peter Schwartz

Leon Festinger [3] developed Cognitive Dissonance Theory in 1957 to explain how a person's beliefs can change when they are in <bb>>conflictb>bb>>.
Cognitive Dissonance Theory explains these results in terms of "insufficient justification." It is assumed that subjects come into the experiment with the belief "I do not lie without a good reason." The subjects in the experiment groups then go on to tell a lie.
The strength of cognitive dissonance is a direct function of two factors: the number of beliefs in <bb>>conflictb>bb>> and the importance of those beliefs.

Review 3

The current trend in clinical psychoanalytic theory and practice turns away from drive theory and <bb>>conflictb>bb>> and toward object relations and deficit.
Kristeva's notion of the abject, then, was part of a more widespread effort to address these borderline states, their relation to the structuring of the subject, particularly in the fixation of borderlines in a pre-objective, and therefore pre-subjective, state that tends toward foreclosing on the paternal function, that is, toward psychosis.
Bronfen explains her project as a concern for "the navel as a critical category for cultural analysis, namely, the enmeshment between connection, incision, bondage, and negation, that is, the bond constructed over naught.

Sociology of deviance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This theory, while very much a symbolic-interactionist theory, also has elements of <bb>>conflictb>bb>> theory as the dominate group has the power to decide what is deviant and acceptable, and enjoys the power behind the labeling process.
Also known as Social Learning Theory, it explains deviance as a learned behavior.
The most important variables in this theory are the age of the learner of deviance, the quality of contact between the learner and the deviant role model, and the relationship between the learner and the deviant model.

PES Yearbook: 1998: Kieran Egan, Conceptions of Development in Education

Herbert Spencer compactly expressed the basis for a cultural recapitulation theory of education in the claim:
One can see the influences and close relationship in nineteenth-century biological theories which proposed that the human fetus went through stages of development in the womb that recapitulated the evolutionary changes the species went through.
Theories of development in education have thus been what are called "hierarchical integrative": that is, each later stage integrates the attainments of the earlier stage(s) in a higher, more sophisticated form.

Sigmund Freud

The Oedipus <bb>>conflictb>bb>> was described as a state of psychosexual development and awareness.
Freud hoped that his research would provide a solid scientific basis for his therapeutic technique.
Freud was an early user and proponent of cocaine (see Freud and Cocaine), and also a developer of the nasal reflex neurosis theory and practice with Wilfed Fliess.

cognitive_dissonance.jsp

In 1957, Leon Festinger published a theory of cognitive dissonance, which has changed the way psychologists look at decision-making and behavior.[1] At its heart, cognitive dissonance theory is rather simple.
The author argues that "cognitive dissonance is related to <bb>>conflictb>bb>> management because it is the results of the <bb>>conflictb>bb>> that lead the persons involved to seek resolution.
Dissonance can be presented as intra-personal whereby it affects beliefs and values and this is borne out in behaviors resulting in interpersonal problems.

Social learning theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the classroom, a teacher may use the theory by changing the seating arrangements to pair a behaving child and a misbehaving child, but the outcome may be that the behaving child begins to misbehave.
Burgess, a behavioural sociologist, and Akers revised Sutherland’s theory and included the idea of reinforcement, which increases or decreases the strength of a behaviour, and applied the principles of Operant Psychology, which holds that behaviour is a function of its consequences (Pfohl, 1994).
The theory was focused on the interaction between the individual and the social group, and did not address individual differences or social context (Jeffery, 1990:252; Akers, 1998).

Power-Control and Feminist Theories

Power-control theory, developed by John Hagan and his associates seeks to explain these differentials.
Hagan's theory has been criticized as being basically a fairly straightforward adaptation of the "liberation hypothesis," as females experience upward mobility and status change, their access to deviant and illicit behaviors expand.
One problem, as Goode points out, is that as a powerless group, a <bb>>conflictb>bb>> perspective would expect women to be more represented in traditional forms of deviance, this would be especially true for lower and working class females.

Kulish and Holtzman

Hoffman (2000) suggested that relational analysts tend to subordinate conflicts over oedipal passions to earlier relational issues, and that a lack of appreciation of girls’ passion in psychoanalytic theory in general has resulted in a preoedipalization of their dynamics.
Separation and psychic development are interwoven, beginning in infancy with separation of self from object, and proceeding to the establishment of object constancy and a rudimentary sense of self, the achievement of a solid core gender identity, and a sense of bodily autonomy.
He stressed object relations, and presented clinical material to demonstrate that the woman’s oedipal complex owed its special form almost entirely to a transfer of traits from the pregenital relationship with the mother onto the genital relationship with the father.

The Class Politics of Queer Theory

However, for queer theory generally, class <bb>>conflictb>bb>> turns out to be just another set of problems, marginal at best, which have no determinate relation to sexual politics.
The problem with (post-modern) queer theory is that (contrary to its own self-understanding) it works basically not against but in the interest of the (economic) status quo, in the interest of purely cultural reform and not economic revolution.
Admittedly queer theory opposes some aspects of bourgeois life: what it opposes, however, is only the oppressiveness of homophobia as a set of attitudes and discourses.

The signal function of early infant crying

Parent-offspring <bb>>conflictb>bb>> theory (Trivers 1974) recognizes that the interests of parents and child are indeed largely overlapping, but it emphasizes where the interests of parents and offspring diverge, and this has important implications regarding the signal function of early infant crying.
Parental neglect, abandonment, killing and sometimes consuming of newborn offspring is known to occur in several animal species when the condition of the offspring is poor, or the conditions for rearing offspring are unfavorable.

Labeling Theory essays

There are two theories that became very prominent in the sixties, as to some of the reasons surrounding criminals, these theories are known as the labeling theory and the <bb>>conflictb>bb>> theory.
The theory started to develop in the 1930s finally, but it was not really applied until the 1960s.
The two theories do very well in showing some of the problems that our legal system has today, and some of the solutions to possibly solve this problem.

The first, based primarily on Freud (1913) and subsequent interpreters of his theories, sees ritual practice as one of the many expressions of conflicts within the psychosexual personalities of the members of a society.
The transition-rite theory, based on the model by Arnold Van Gennep (1965 [1909]), holds ritual as the process that reinforces a society's age and sex role structure by dramatizing individuals' transitions to these roles.
What this means for the participants of a ritual is not a fixed expectation about what must happen because of the nature of the event.

Cognitive <bb>>Conflictb>bb>> as the Automotivator for Change A theory of morality must explain both the motivators for cognitive change in moral principles and the motivators for acting morally.
Piagetian theory (1948) favors a developmental sequence progressing from moral realism, in which rules are seen as unchangeable and conduct is judged in terms of damage done, to relativistic morality in which conduct is judged primarily by the performer's intentions.
Cognitive restructuring of behavior through moral justifications and palliative characterizations is the most effective psychological mechanism for disengagement of moral self-sanctions.
