In an attempt to turn psychology into a more scientific endeavor, many theorists of the twentieth century proposed various scientific theories for different fields of psychology. One such field was psychoanalytic psychology. There were five famous theorists who proposed scientific theories in this field:

• Sigmund Freud—Psychoanalytic theory
• Carl Jung—Analytical psychology theory
• Alfred Adler—Individual psychology theory
• Erik Erikson—Psychoanalytical ego psychology theory
• Melanie Klein—Object relations theory

For the first part of this assignment, you will summarize the life and work of one of these theorists. 

This section should include the following in the given order:

  • Early life
  • Education
  • Important publications
• An outline of the personality structure and dynamics defined by the theory proposed by your chosen theorist.
