Please see the embedded comments below in your annotated bibliography & outline. I want to make sure you are on track to do well on the paper. Below are some important points to help ensure your paper meets the requirements. PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS:
Make sure you read the instructions for the synthesis paper AND the rubric that will be used to grade it, very carefully. Note from the instructions that the two main components of the content of your paper should be:
1. A statement of common themes addressed in each of the articles.
2. A statement of the conclusions that can be drawn when the articles are taken together as a single entity. What is the overall message of the group of articles? Focus specifically on the key developmental terms, processes and challenges that individuals may face up through adulthood. Why are the unconscious mind, dreams, and ego defense mechanisms important to understand from the Psychoanalytic perspective? Be sure to address the notion that Freud and the Psychodynamic and Psychoanalytic theory suggest that early stages of human development have a significant impact on our relationships and our Ego throughout the life span.
As specified in the outline, YOUR PAPER WILL BE DISCUSSING AND SYNTHESIZING 3 COMMON THEMES. EACH THEME YOU DISCUSS SHOULD BE COMMON TO AT LEAST 3 ARTICLES ASSIGNED FOR MODULES 1 THROUGH 4 (YOU WILL NEED TO READ AHEAD). This includes Johansson (2007), Perera (2013), Hebbrecht (2013), Kluners (2014), Schutt & Castonguay (2001), Summers (2006), and Newirth (2014). EACH THEME MUST INCLUDE SUPPORT FROM AT LEAST THREE OF THESE ARTICLES . Please devote a whole section of your paper toward EACH common theme you identify (As shown in the outline you just completed). Clearly identify what the theme is and then support your argument with the sources. You will also be providing a synthesis of the themes you discuss in the conclusion section of your paper. Make sure you follow all APA formatting guidelines, and that your paper is ORGANIZED correctly. Specifically, your paper must have the following:
1. A TITLE PAGE, correctly formatted
2. An INTRODUCTION. DO NOT put “INTRODUCTION” as a heading of your introduction. Instead put the title of your paper, centered, and not bolded or underlined. In your introduction the opening few sentences should “hook” the reader (capture their interest). Then you should provide context for the paper. This is where you will set up what your paper is about, and bring the reader up to speed on the topic and your paper’s relevance to it. THIS IS ALSO WHERE YOU SHOULD WORK IN A STATEMENT OF COMMON THEMES. Finally, the introduction MUST include a CLEARLY STATED THESIS STATEMENT. A Thesis Statement should be as clear and specific as possible, and have a definable, arguable claim. It does not simply announce a topic of discussion: it says something about the topic. It is the point you want to make, or the conclusion you come to, as a result of the synthesis. Below I have included a basic template of a clear and concise thesis statement for a paper like the one assigned:
“Themes from select articles examining … (fill in with the topic(s) researched) were analyzed and compared. A synthesis of common themes derived from the research suggests that … (fill in with specific point or claim being made that is based on the synthesis)….”
3. SECTIONS. You should have a separate section for each common theme you identify. EACH SECTION (including the conclusion) SHOULD HAVE A CENTERED AND BOLDED SECTION HEADING (level 1). The section heading can just be the name of the theme that the section is about. For example, your first theme might be “The Unconscious Mind”. The section should be supported by at least 3 of the assigned articles (be sure to properly cite the articles as you discuss the information you get from them). Remember that the point of this paper is to synthesize. Basically synthesis is combining. It is kind of like combining elements to form a compound in chemistry. Separate components combine/react to form something new. You need to synthesize (blend) the discussion of the information coming from the articles. DO NOT simply summarize information from the articles; use the articles to support your argument. Also, as indicated in the outline you should be providing a synthesis in The CONCLUSION SECTION. You need to consider the themes together and come up with an overall synthesized conclusion. I have included some helps at the end of these instructions that explain synthesis, if you are unfamiliar with it. Remember, A SYNTHESIS IS NOT SIMPLY SUMMARIZING OR RECAPPING INFORMATION FROM THE ARTICLES, OR RESTATING THEMES. Besides providing a synthesis, the conclusion should also make the paper come full circle. Therefore it should align with the thesis statement, showing that it has been supported. Clearly reacquaint the reader with your thesis statement, and briefly review the major points of the paper. Reaffirm the conclusion you have come to that is based on the synthesis of themes.
4. REFERENCES & CITATIONS. Make sure the information you include is properly supported with citations of the sources throughout your paper (in this case the sources are the assigned articles from modules one through four). There should be a reference for every source cited in your paper. Make sure your in-text citations, references, and the references page are correctly formatted according to APA guidelines.
The last thing I want you to focus on is writing mechanics (sentence structure, grammar, etc..). This especially is something a tutor could help with (along with APA formatting) if necessary. Please proofread, and if you can, get someone else to proofread your paper as well.
Also, please take a look at, and familiarize yourself with, the rubric that will be used for grading so you can keep those elements in mind as you compose your paper.

The position of the author is to clarify the importance of a dream and its meaning as draws from conscious mind. This is the aim of the author when he draws on the conclusions based on the value of a dream towards maintaining the process of psychoanalytic. In this analysis, Hebbrecht (2013) uses clinical material from his work to illustrate that some dreams are pictures of the psychoanalytic process. Although a dream communicates the analytic process, the message of the dream is always polysomic and ambiguous. The author tries to explain and produce research based on the photographic dream, which is vivid and ideal in people’s lives. People often dream but many do not support nor explain the meaning of dreams. Others consider this an association commonly associated with changes in the mind set and how it influences personal dreaming.
The author introduces the characteristics of a dream as being lucid and clear. This is the process through which the author tries to integrate the modern community’s beliefs on dreams and how they communicate through and share amongst other people. The research of the author will be an essential addition to literature and this will help to control, support, and often increase differences between the community’s processes towards psychoanalytic. The use of the dream in the research bring patients and people closer when sharing their innate changes and features.
The position of the author uses the theme of a dream as an object, which has ideal considerations. It also speaks about the nature and changes in the modern community in preferences to supporting imperative psychoanalytic processes. It is only weaknesses is the lack of a structured empirical study to help provide and prove the essence of dreams.

The history of psychoanalysis is rich, and this helps the modern community to learn about the different method and ways of tackling psychoanalysis challenges. The only difference is the change and consideration on a common process on how to improve and develop based on the nature and value of psychoanalysis. The author considers the transition in the field of psychoanalysis and this possess the means to accept and create the field of psychoanalysis as wide and clear enough. Therefore, the foundations of the author are to demonstrate the changes in the community based on how people view and process the different stances of psychotherapies.
The author defines the accreditation process and this a vital choice on how to consider the future of education and the practice of psychotherapy. The analysis is helpful towards understanding the unconscious mind and how to demonstrate the use of psychology while developing the essence of the mind and its many different processes of psychoanalysis. Hence, it is the process of understanding the core elements of psychoanalysis which will help the community to grow and develop based on the changes, approaches, and means of psychanalytic development.
The strengths of the author and his research stems from the historical considerations on the profession and especially, on a top European community. This helps in driving the differences, which can be accepted and developed to support, grow and develop towards potential resources. The weaknesses are not focusing and drawing a conclusion which does not support the accreditation from an institution and this does not help in the overall communication.
Moreover, a historian must possess in-depth intellectual and medical expertise to overcome the ambiguity which arises from the fact that clinical psychology and psychotherapy opened after World War II. The medical introduction was associated with psychiatry before the Second World War. Lastly, the division between psychoanalysis as theory and practice is evident in the psychoanalytic training. The author concludes that a historian should be prepared for the highly charged emotions that his or her work will stir when published. Although some individuals will be grateful for the work, one must accept criticism who will not find his or her efforts meaningful.

The author defines the process of a lifecycle as a process of using dreams to heal and the vulnerability, which exist between life and human growth and development. There is the meaning of a lifecycle and this is drawing from the constraints of human beings and driving the distinction which exists from childhood to death, end of the lifecycle. The author does and tries to attempt to consider the changes of life and within them the dreams and how as a person ages, she/he will go back to the dream to heal. It is this position of the author which tries to solve for a dream in reality.
The author further explains the meanings of how to convey the dream and to heal and develop a common factor during the old age. It is the essence of the commonality, which helps and drives the commitment and value of a common community. Thus, getting the meaning out of the commonality of the society will improve and prove the essence of circling to unconscious minds and then considering the options and choices of life. This is the aim of the author towards developing and transformation, it helps and creates a common process and platform for engaging on dreams and its relations to aging.
The strengths of the author are through the biographic nature of the research which stems from her life and how it relates to the circling between the reality and dreams. It is also the weakness since no empirical research is conducted to support the foundations and claims of the author and research. The author concludes that the aging person requires dreams to explore the wondrous and fearful dimensions that send a signal that he or she is reaching his or her ego’s limits. One’s dreams open the darkness throughout the year years of aging.
The Foundations of Psychoanalysis Outline
1. Introduction
A. Psychoanalysis has become a part and parcel of the human mind and development. People sometimes do not attend psychoanalysis if they are sick or challenged, but, to also understand themselves.
B. The foundations will focus on the influences of the unconscious minds to understand a person’s center. There is also the use of dreams to define the existence of a person’s endeavors through his/her lifecycle and eventually, focusing ego defensive mechanism to heal from vulnerabilities.
C. Psychoanalysis can be effectively related to psychotherapy, but, its foundations are rich, and these can be used effectively to support human development and growth. Comment by Joe Millett: This is a little vague, and I don’t see a clear thesis statement. This is just kind of describing psychoanalysis a little, and then saying it can support development – It is not clear what that means. It isn’t really a clear synthesized idea - it needs to be a more focused and specific claim. A thesis statement should be a focused, explicitly clear, sentence that makes a very specific assertion/claim about a topic. See if you can be more specific, and clear. Below I have included a basic template of a clear and concise thesis statement you can use: “Themes from select articles examining … (fill in with the topic researched) were analyzed and compared. A synthesis of common themes derived from the research suggests that … (fill in with specific point or claim being made that is based on the synthesis. Make sure it is a concise and clear statement)….”
2. Unconscious Minds Comment by Joe Millett: What you have here for the body of the paper is pretty cursory. These themes are not very clearly defined. The themes are broad ideas and need more clear definition, focus, and context. You need to focus for the reader exactly how you are interpreting the theme, and how it fits into the overall point you are making (should be clear to the reader why you are talking about this).
A. In the process of psychoanalysis, the unconscious mind becomes a source for personal information.
1. Hebbrecht, M. (2013), defines a dream like a picture supporting the clarity of a person’s mind.
2. Johansson, P. (2007), considers the history of psychoanalysis to help in developing the foundations of learning about the unconscious mind.
3. Perera, B, S. (2013), stands on the importance of dreams and circling back to unconscious mind to heal and forget.
3. Dreams
A. The process of dreaming helps one to unravel the mysteries and essential features revolving in oneself.
1. Hebbrecht, M. (2013), dreaming brings the photographic of a reality and virtual realms.
2. Perera, B, S. (2013), dreams become the foundations for circling back and forth based on the issues of vulnerability.
4. Ego Defense Mechanism
A. Developing a process of the mind and using its visual representation can be a process of protecting and creating a productive feature based on the unconscious mind.
1. Hebbrecht, M. (2013), considers dreaming a visual representation and tis aims to implement a consideration on survival.
2. Perera, B, S. (2013), also supports the essence of using dreams as a process for understanding the psychanalysis of the defense mechanism.
5. Conclusion Comment by Joe Millett: Your conclusion should be in clear alignment with your thesis statement, and the body of the paper leading up to this point. It is important to reacquaint the reader with the thesis statement, and briefly review the major points of the paper. However, this is where you need to fully develop your synthesized conclusion. As specified in the directions for the paper (due wk 4), this is where you should emphasize, in a clear way, the “conclusions that can be drawn when the articles are taken together as a single entity. What is the overall message of the group of articles? Focus specifically on the key developmental terms, processes and challenges that individuals may face up through adulthood. Why are the unconscious mind, dreams, and ego defense mechanisms important to understand from the Psychoanalytic perspective? Be sure to address the notion that Freud and the Psychodynamic and Psychoanalytic theory suggest that early stages of human development have a significant impact on our relationships and our Ego throughout the life span”.
A. The foundations of psychoanalysis are wide and many people in the community apply these in psychotherapy to understand the realms of challenges and problems.
B. In conclusion, the process of psychoanalysis considers all the unconscious mind and visual representation which can be derived through dreaming when either asleep or when not asleep.
