ADLER: Feelings of inferiority

mother was very stricto Victorian upbringing o organ deficiencies o Mom would not take her to the doctoro Body was inferior because of her deficiency

Father- o emotionally detached fathers lead people to seek personal success

and have a lack of personal interest ( opposite for Audry) had a strong drive for success but did not want to be better than anyone else

ROGERS: -mention the three concepts (ideal self) etc People with a negative self concept have difficulty with self confidence.External discount – her response

“I never heard her say that she liked any of her performances. When people complimented her, she would always shy away ultimately explain how those who surround her were the reason for her success.” (97)

ERIKSON:(1)Role confusion vs Identity (these events influenced that) (D)

Big emphasis on learning English – mom made her only speak Dutch in pubicWent to boarding school when she was five.

Changed her name because Audry sounded too British : Born Audry Kathleen Van Heemstra Ruston

(2)Autonomy vs Shame and doubt (A) Keep things to yourself (women) Did not gain will to tell about her feelings Victorian Upbringing – didn’t allow her to tell her sons about her illness

o “I had to make a choice at one point in my life…of missing films or missing my children. It was a very easy decision to make because I missed my children so very much.

film

Desire for friendship Her son was her best friend and she made sure he knew that he

was hers Wish for a mate and children

Early on her life because of the war her basic needs were not satisfied (A) Her father left her family when she was six

o Deprived her of safety needso Father did not show any emotions or physical or emotional

supporto Because she only received a low amount of love and

belongingness she motivated to seek it more throughout her life.

The men she chose were men who also had a strong motivation to seek love

She said that she just wanted to take care of them

That is why it didn’t work – both were too emotionally needy

At the end of her life she felt complete – (D) Her love and belongingness needs were finally filed at the end of her

life.o X-mas ** quote “ I finally feel loved”

o Greater hierarchy of life o UNICEF work

Self-actualization ? Depressed Stuck at phase

o “She was sad” – this is known as the big secreto Hidden depression – so much fame and “happiness” around

her yet behind the closed doors lies deep sadnesso She was loving and caring and made sure that everyone else

was happy that she could not make herself happy. o Life was “tough” – she was sad for the children
