PSYCHOANALYSIS

FREUDIAN CELEBRITY PSYCHOANALYSIS

You are Dr. Freud. Choose a celebrity OR famous fictional character OR

cartoon character and psychoanalyze him or her.

1. Describe the patient. Why did you choose them? What sort of personality

do they have? What are their obvious ‘issues’?

2. Psychoanalyze them. Ensure you consider all of the following elements of

Freudian analysis:

▪ Conflict between the Id, Ego and Superego

▪ The role of defense mechanisms

- rationalization, repression, denial, projection,

reaction formation, regression, displacement, sublimation

▪ Psychosexual development: are they fixated in one of the

stages, perhaps?

3. Draw some conclusions. What should their therapy plan be? What

do they need to work on? How can they go about ‘improving’

themselves? And so forth.

Presentation? That is up to you… but it has to include visuals.

- PowerPoint, Prezi, interview, Q & A, scientific case study…?

Thoughtful and thorough completion, as well as

creativity , and demonstrating a clear

understanding of the principles of psychoanalysis.
