Practice question · Multiple choice
Jung, Horney and Adler all trained in Freud's circle and all broke with him. What did their departures have in common?
Hints
- Ask what Freud put at the centre, and what each successor put there instead.
- The disagreement is about the engine, not about the unconscious.
Show the answer
B. Each replaced sexual drive with something social or cultural
Why
The unconscious survived; the libido theory did not. Each successor kept the depth-psychological frame and replaced its motor with something interpersonal.
