I would use Freud to explain the problem of the mind and use a Derren Brown technique which could overcome that problem. I will also show how they both share some similar views in certain areas.  So do you know how deceived you are by your own mind? <\/p>\n<p>Here are a few areas I will explore.<br \/>\n\u2022 I will explain Freud\u2019s theory on forgetting \u2018Proper Names\u2019. I will then suggest a technique by Derren Brown which could overcome this. In this case, a technique called \u2018Remembering Names\u2019.<br \/>\n\u2022 \u2018Forgetting Names and Sequence of Words\u2019 by Freud can be related to the \u2018Linking System\u2019 by Derren Brown. This technique allows you to move onto the next word without any worries.<br \/>\n\u2022 A view which Freud and Derren Brown share is on superstition and the supernatural. They both disapprove of it. Derren Brown\u2019s controversial programme, the S\u00e9ance showed his rejection of the supernatural through psychological experiments which shows the illusions of it. <\/p>\n<p>I shall use Freud\u2019s book Psychopathology of Everyday Life to explore the problems of the mind. For Derren Brown, I shall use his book, Tricks of the Mind, and include his programmes as well, such as Trick of the Mind, Trick or Treat, and the S\u00e9ance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jamie Cooper, 2010, Stage 2<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8792,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564,22,128],"tags":[32,315,569],"class_list":["post-1924","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-564","category-abstracts","category-stage-2-abstracts","tag-freud","tag-psychology","tag-supernatural"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1924","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8792"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1924"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1924\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1924"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
