  1. Freud Versus Rogers • Pessimistic versus optimistic • Freud believed that the human aggressive instinct was innate, persistent, and pervasive • The essence of human nature is destructive • The internal superego and external societal restraints keep this destructive nature in check

  2. Freud versus Rogers • Rogers… • People are “…positive, forward-moving, constructive, realistic, trustworthy…innately good.” • Cultural restraints and frustrations lead to antisocial behavior • We should trust people to choose to behave in ways that will perpetuate their survival as well as the health and survival of others

  3. What do you think? • Are people inherently driven by aggressive instincts? • Is it necessary for society, parents, culture, religion to restrain the urges of the id? • Are people naturally good? • If people existed in a truly free and nurturing environment, would they invariably make constructive choices?
