Crash Course Psychology #21: Rorschach and Freudians

Crash Course Psychology #21: Rorschach and Freudians is an informative video lesson and accompanying 15-question worksheet analyzing key concepts and personalities related to psychoanalytic theories. Created for secondary educators, it overviews Freud's structural model of personality and defense mechanisms alongside the contributions of neo-Freudians Karen Horney, Carl Jung, Alfred Adler, and others. Discussion prompts encourage critical thinking on the unconscious mind, ego, id, superego, inferiority complexes, collective unconscious, self-actualization needs, and more through the lens of the iconic Rorschach inkblot test. This supplemental resource is ideal for whole-class instruction, small groups, homework, or individual student catch-up in a unit on personality psychology. The video episode and digital worksheet coordinate well with lessons in middle or high school social studies or psychology electives.
