      Dangerous Therapy: Psychoanalysis on the Rebirth of Personality

      1. Freudian Theory and Post-Freudian Theory

      1.1 Motivation and the Unconscious

      Freud's psychoanalytic theory holds that all behavior is motivated, and that motivation works at the unconscious level. Every human action has a cause and a purpose, which can be discovered by analyzing thought associations, dreams, errors, and other behavioral cues about inner emotions.

      Freud initially proposed two basic drives. One of them is related to self-survival (satisfying needs...

      Psychological, spiritual, two horror fields

      1
          I started the visual and ideological journey of this film without any knowledge of the film at all.
          At the beginning of the film, Sabina is in a state of madness in the carriage. The expression is very ferocious, and it can be directly reflected that it is mental illness without any association.
          The appearance of Jung's name made me explore it in my mind (I studied psychology for a period of time when I was a freshman), until the appearance of Freud's name, I was...

      how worse it was, it made me understand who I am.

      how worse it was, it made me understand who I am.

      This was the last time Jung had a chat with Sabina, was it particularly familiar or reminded everyone of Shenma? It is inevitable that this movie is very much a question of true love, right? Jung told the truth, did so (find a lover, so like Sabina), her love for Sabina seemed to come naturally during Jung's treatment, not as Jung described it as Freud purposeful induction.
      The background for watching this movie is that I just...

      Stories That Pique Jung's Interest

      Freud was known for being stubborn in the process of creating psychology, and in addition to the main character of the film, he also parted ways with other psychology masters, such as Adler. In addition to the often mentioned insistence on using sexual desire to explain all psychological phenomena and patriarchal management, the film also focuses on his jealousy. However, for the exploration of natural subjects, it is true that a rich family background is more conducive to the growth of...

      A common goal binds the two together

      Freud wanted to be a strong man, an authority, on the other hand, he had a sense of dependence on others. So when others admire him and agree with him, he is friendly and generous. But when others doubted him and criticized him, he did not tolerate it at all.
              He needs to rely on the unconditional support and approval of others. The son's independence has grown stronger and the father's authority has been shaken.
              From a fiery friendship to an eventual breakup is...

    Evaluation action

    David Cronenberg chose period dramas that are not common in his works. The plot of the film takes place in time and space before World War I. But this is not too much of a problem for Cronenberg. It is easier for a geek to make a movie in a proper way than for a moderate director to be unreasonable. But because of this, "A Dangerous Method" is dull compared to David Cronenberg's previous works. Director Cronenberg buried pornography...
