How were Sigmund Freud’s theories influenced by the neurologist John Hughlings Jackson?
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Jackson suggested that there are levels of the brain, from more primitive to more evolved, and that higher levels restrict lower levels. As such, it was possible for the psyche to also be in conflict with itself and to have different layers representing different processes. Freud’s notion of repression is a direct development of Hughlings Jackson’s notions of hierarchical integration and inhibitory control.
