Psychology and Psychoanalysis

Is there a chart for learning about psychology and psychoanalysis? It shouldn't be too hard to get a bachelor's level understanding of the subject.

start with Freud then move onto Jung for psychoanalysis, but psychology is a wide af field of study so it depends what you're interested in.

Understanding the cognitive,biological and psychoanalytical approaches is key to modern psych so that's another good starting point.

I can see starting with Freud but Jung is a peterson/pol meme.

I can see Freud and then probably lacan but after that I'm stuck

>Jung is a peterson/pol meme.
If you were trying to make me cringe hard, you succeeded.

I think Jung's collective unconscious and archetypes are still relevant in today's theories so if OP is trying to get a base understanding of psych then it's a solid path.

Lacan is a solid pick though.

What about a good psychology textbook?

>reading Freud before reading Nietzsche

Psychoanalysis is not a major part of modern psychology

"Psychology a complete introduction" and "The Psychology Bible" by Dr Sandi Mann are ok for a very shallow overview I suppose.

Really I'd say find specific aspects that interest you and focus on the research and theories within those, reading actual articles by researched is usually far more interesting than simply reading others describe them.

Sure Freud took a lot from Nietzsche but it's not as if you won't be able to understand him without reading Nietzsche

Not him. I'm conflicted because his collective unconscious/archetype stuff seems legitimate, but I can't help but feel like he's a pseud when I hear about him writing about alchemy and nonsense like that.

There's a Freud Reader by Penguin and another, more extensive one by Peter Gay. He's a bit too "contemporary" for many people's tastes, though, so be aware of that if you choose to read the second one.

But OP wants to learn psychology in general, not Freud specifically. He should start with Nietzsche and then move on to Freud.

I've read all of nietzsche actually

Good work, if you're serious

Thanks and I am. I've also read one of Freud's books and a summary of his work. I feel like hes a bit dated for my purposes and I already have a solid grasp of him. I've also taken a few gen ed psych courses but chose to go for a different path. I'm really looking into some more advanced textbooks that someone pursuing a bachelors' would have to read.

I recommend reading Kaufmann's Freud, Adler and Jung. Great overview of all three, though overtly sympathetic to Freud and hostile to Jung, so I would also read a couple Jung books to balance out the perspective and form your own opinion on Jung.

Psychoanalysis is a meme. Have fun wasting three months burning through sophistry.

I don't read but I skimmed "The Other Side of Normal" once and liked it. Had to do with some Harvard guy and biology. It referenced many other books and studies though and that made me so cock teased I never read anything else on it outside of Wikipedia article definitions of things. I don't have time to dig up old experiments and didn't have the Internet at the time. I vaguely recall shaking my head at the wall of books referenced that I'd have to read alongside it before I could trust any bit of it.

Also, in college I had bought a psych 101 book and that was fun.

Wasn't Freud just sexually deviant and Jung a philosopher more so than a mentalist? Freud was crazy and therefore understood shit types of people and Jung was a nutjob over religion, yes?

Freud can be criticized for a lot of things (his samples were mostly neurotic Austrian housewives which means results are hard to generalise and the Little Hans case study which he used to support the Oedipus complex was most likely faked by Freud and the boys father) but his work does provide the backbone for most aspects of the psychoanalytical approach.

Saying that Freud is only concerned with sex is a very simplified way to look at his work but it's not entirely wrong.

for lacan use saussure.
