Sigmund Freud's psychanalysis tied into African and Jewish mysticism -- 2
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
"If you are doing the APA paper option, this is your first assignment. You will write a four to ten page APA format paper incorporating the texts that we are using and any other scholarly materials to discuss the implications of Sigmund Freud's research into the areas of African and Jewish mysticism to develop his theory of psychodynamics. Sigmund Freud is the progenitor of modern western psychology, therefore his studies in these two areas, whose peoples have been oppressed globally gives us a very different perspective about African and Jewish people. If you had known this early in your academic career, how would this have shaped your views on western psychology? Given that many practices in western psychology have been especially detrimental to African people, do you see an incongruence in the use of psychology towards African people given that Freud studied African mysticism? Lastly, what are the new trajectories that psychology can take to address the healing of African people specifically and humanity in general by incorporating African forms of healing? I will use Turnitin to assess for plagiarism, with a cutoff of 10%."
