Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Freud's early work on the development of his process model of dynamic functioning was strongly influenced by the physiological model put forth by his mentor, Ernst Brucke. While he was later influenced by the work of Jean-Martin Charcot and others in the field of psychology, Brucke's model played a key role in shaping Freud's early thinking. There is no evidence to suggest that Einstein's physics model had any direct impact on Freud's work in this area.
