Introduction
Neo Freudianism is a relatively modern take on the Freudian concept of the
psychoanalytic theory which focusses on the modern concept of the philosophy and the ideals
relating to the development of the ideology of mankind. The ideal in the modern concept have
changed the philosophy of the development of human psyche to aid in the development of the
ideologies of the human psyche. The overall interaction of the people in the society affect their
overall behavior which is presented in the work. There are a number of different themes that can
be explore in the topic.
Theme 1: Self-Consciousness and idea transference in Doctor Patient Relationship
Scaturo, D. J. (2005). Transference, countertransference, and resistance: Unconscious
determinants of dilemmas. In Clinical dilemmas in psychotherapy (pp. 127-142).
Washington, DC: American Psychological Association. doi:10.1037/11110-008
Consciousness: The inclusion of the reaction of the psychoanalyst towards the patient is
known as the counter transference. The recognition of the relationships is important in all its
forms in the patient and physician relationship taking into account the situations regarding the
issues faced by the individuals in their interactions in the society (Vyskocilova & Prasko, 2013).
One of the major issues in this context is the fact that subconscious reactions cannot be
controlled by the people and the issues that the person faces in the society is often the result of
the psychological state (Cambanis, 2012). The previous experiences of the people in the relations
hip also play a major role in defining the relationships in the different contexts (Banerjee et al.,
2009).

Self-Awareness: A person who had a bad relationship with caregivers is often affected
by the different socio-cultural aspects rather than the overall ideology of the individuals in the
society. The inclusion of the different issues regarding the development of the individuals in the
society is affected by the fact that people in the society form their opinions based on the
interactions and the experiences leading to a number of problems in the subconscious
conversation (Cambanis, 2012).
Therapeutic Techniques: On the other hand the problems faced by the physicians
present themselves on a different leaves altogether as the different issues that have been
highlighted in this context are the fact that the patient themselves are often not freely willing to
communicate with the physicians leading to the communications issues abs thereby a number of
barriers (Cambanis, 2012). Therefore it becomes the duty of the psychologist or the physician to
highlight the situation that the person may face in the society (Vyskocilova & Prasko, 2013). The
psychologist has to make the person comfortable and agreeable to the situations that may arise in
the different scenarios. One of the major issues in this context is the fact that the people in the
society. There are a number of situations that present themselves as a hindrance in the
communication between the patient and the physician (Patterson, 1959).
Theme 2: Social and Psychological theories of Identities
Hall, C. S., &Lindzey, G. (1957). Social psychological theories: Adler, Fromm, Horney, and
Sullivan. In Theories of personality (pp. 114-156). Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons
Inc. doi:10.1037/10910-004
The psychoanalytic theory takes into account the different interaction that the
individual in the society has with the environment leading to the formulation of the ideal and

the ideologies in the society. One of the major issues in the acceptance of the ideals in the
society is the fact that they have a very strong impact on the overall behavior and the interaction
patterns among the individuals present in the society.
Biological versus Social Influences on Development: The society, cultural and the other
aspects have an important role to play in the indoctrination of the character of individualism
(D’Onofrio et al. 1999). The individualist theories suggest on the overall behavior of the
individuals in the society regarding the acculturation of the behaviors and the patterns that are
acceptable in the modern society (Robinson et al., 2008). The conceptualization of the behavior
in the society by an individual takes into account the different determinants in the society of the
behavioral patterns and the issues that may be faced by and individual (Dawson et al., 1994).
Drivers of Behavior: Contrary to the popular beliefs in the works of the people like
Freud and Jung Adler believed that the society played an important role in the formation of the
behavioral pattern of an individual in the society (Robinson et al., 2008). Prior to him the
theories suggested that the individual in the society is born with a set of ideal instincts or the
behavioral patterns that cannot be altered. This was strongly argued by the individualists like
Adler who said that there were a number of different factors which played an important role in
shaping the character of an individual in the society (D’Onofrio et al. 1999). They also say that
the same socio cultural environment may affect the ideology of the individuals in the society
which affects their overall behavior. Hence Adler’s theory gave rise to the cognitive self in
comparison to the Ego in the work of Freud. The theory of identity also stand in contrast to the
Freud’s work as it takes into account the personal choices and the importance of the identity of
the individual in formation of the behavioral pattern of an individual (Robinson et al., 2008).

Therapeutic Techniques: The desires and choices of a person therefore has major role to
play in the formation of an ideology among the different individuals in the society (Clark et al.,
2008). Horney on the other hand object the theory of penis envy among the women in the society
saying that the inferiority issues they face are due to the emotional dependence and the emotion
based thought process rather than an anatomical envy. Sullivan points out a very important part
of the human psychiatry known as the interpersonal interaction which plays a role in the shaping
of the individual rather than the inborn behavior.
It can be concluded that the writes argue that the behavior of the person depends on the
behavior of the people they are interacting with which makes the overall behavior more of a
social process.
Conclusion
Therefore, it can be concluded form the paper that, the physicians who opt for the
cognitive therapy often get resistance form their patients who are not ready to open up in front of
their physicians regarding their experiences and the issues that may arise in their belief systems.
The major issue in this context is the fact that the people are often affected by the experiences
such that they tend to create problems in their treatment rather than aiding it. The physicians on
the other hand have a task of making the situation understanding in case of the different
psychological disorders that cause different transference and resistance. In the above discussion
it can be seen that there are a number of different factors affecting the formulation of the
ideology in the people in the society ranging from inheritance to interaction. The identity of a
person may cannot be differentiated from any of the above said tenets as the human ideology

depends on the person themselves and the acculturation they get. This in tandem with the
interaction and its intensity can be said to be the formation of an identity.
