Topic > The Life of Britney Spears - 1380

I selected Britney Spears as my subject because I realize that she has gone through so many experiences in her life and has a tendency to convey her emotions radically and live life in an edge way most of the time. Furthermore, I simply find it fascinating to scrutinize Britney Spears' personality through Psychoanalysis to offer a deeper understanding in investigating her personality. Although this process of personality analysis is almost never employed today due to a lack of empirical verification and a disappointment in addressing any impact of adulthood on personality, this approach's emphasis on childhood development is far from from being baseless. It allows for a fascinating and vibrant examination of personality as it provides a comprehensive description of why Britney's id conquers her ego and superego in most of her decisions, as well as acting out her fixations in the oral stage of psychosexual development . Exploring her defense mechanisms, it is evident from the viewer's perspective that she keeps herself away from anxiety-provoking stimuli by warping reality on her own terms. Overall, this personality assessment of Britney Spears does an excellent job through the psychoanalytic perspective as a means of revealing/showing a clear-eyed conception of her worldview and connections to her relationships as to why she is the way she is right now. It is likely that if Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung evaluated Britney Spears, they would state that her psychopathology is an inescapable product of her id, which according to Freud functions under the pleasure principle and is the starting point of natural human drives and desires, being too powerful. At an incredibly young age… halfway through… the regression mechanism was also an important aspect of this assessment as she uses it as a means to compromise with a challenging life that has caused her to regress back to behaviors grouped with an earlier time in his previous life. Britney acting like a rebellious teenager while returning to her old ways in the club scene is a profound example of this defense mechanism. This assessment also recognizes a potential oral fixation that Britney may have that is attributable to her given that she has smoking and nail biting habits that may be linked to the emotional consequences that she constantly experiences. Overall the psychoanalytic approach does an excellent job of examining the most important fragments of Britney Spears' personality while at the same time investigating childhood experiences that may have shaped her accordingly..
