Neo-Freudians
Sigmund Freud’s theories inspire many psychologists, these psychologists, so called neo-Freudians like Erik Erikson and Carl Jung studied with, criticized and attempted to prove that not all of the theories of Freud are correct. Erik Erikson and Carl Jung, both neo-Freudians, split off from Freud and developed their own theories with the same foundations but with different roofs. Erik Erikson’s theories are based on social interactions and conflicts. Carl Jung’s theories added another layer to Freud’s unconsciousness theory. These theories modifies the original Freudian theory. Erikson has made many contributions to understand human behavior.

What I learnt from this essay

Every word counts. Making an exageration can cost a grade point. Stating false facts can also be lethal. Words like prove and discovered is a no no for psychology. I have just learnt that the grading citeria for HL psychology is very tough. I must avoid using words that convey a too strong meaning. I need more transitional sentences to link the intro, the body and the conclusion.
