Objective: Summarize the key components of Psychoanalysis.
This course will review each of the primary theories beginning with psychoanalysis. The textbook has each theory laid out in the above-referenced format so that each one can be quickly compared to the others.

- Write a 3-page paper that overviews Freud’s key constructs. Use the APA template and refer to The Trailblazer Handbook to assist with writing this paper.

- In your own words, summarize a brief biographical sketch of Sigmund Freud. (introduction paragraph should be 3-4 sentences)
- Discuss the id, ego and superego, Freud’s perspectives on the nature of humans, and his views of the structure of personality. Consider how these three concepts could correlate to a Christian worldview by addressing the sinful nature of humanity. (one page)
