Elaborate how Otto Rank’s theory was different from Freud.

What will be an ideal response?


Ans: Otto Rank broke from Freud and countered his
emphasis on the uncontrollable wishes and desires of the unconscious. Instead, as we shall see later in this chapter, Rank emphasized human growth, the development of the self, and the will as a controlling and organizing force. Rank’s work also emphasized ideas such as the significance of time as a factor in the helping process (an idea that Taft and others used as the basis for the functional model).
