On March 29, 2025 A Deep Course in Psychology-The ideas collisionof of the Three Grandmaster Successfully end in Shenzhen This course by ISRP Professor Huang Lihong, Ph.D.（Dr.HUANG） for give lessonsthe Doctoral Program in Health Psychology at ISRP Psychology elites from the fields of healthcare, technology, education, and enterprise across the country gathered together to initiate a cross-temporal dialogue on psychoanalysis.
As the first class of the doctoral course ，Dr.HUANG Centered around the theoretical frameworks of psychology Freud, Jung, and Adler, the course delved deeply into the thought processes of psychoanalysis, analytical psychology, and individual psychology through comparative analysis and case studies. During the sessions, Dr. Huang used the "underlying logic of human needs" as a thread to weave together the essence of these three theories.
Dr. HUANG emphasized, "The theories of these three masters are not contradictory but rather interpret the complex spectrum of human nature from different dimensions. Contemporary psychology practitioners need to adopt an integrative perspective, transforming these classical theories into a toolbox for addressing real-world challenges."
The course broke away from the traditional one-way teaching model by incorporating interactive segments such as "Masters' On-Site Speeches" and "Contemporary Case Reconstruction." Participants simulated the perspectives of Freud, Jung, and Adler, engaging in multidimensional analyses on topics including childhood, the digital age, depression, anxiety, and adolescent identity crises. This approach sparked numerous innovative thoughts and solutions on site.
ISRP: Setting the Benchmark for Advanced Education in Health Psychology
As a premier institution in the field of global mental health movement and rehabilitation, ISRP has launched a Doctor of Health Psychology program in China. This initiative focuses on two main directions: "modernizing classical theories" and "interdisciplinary integrated practice." The curriculum encompasses cutting-edge areas such as neuroscience and digital health technologies, aiming to cultivate leading talents equipped with both international perspectives and local practical capabilities.
"We aspire to elevate psychology from a paradigm of 'disease treatment' to one of 'holistic health promotion' through systematic training in our doctoral program," ISRP stated.
This translation captures the essence of ISRP's mission and the goals of their new Doctor of Health Psychology program, highlighting its focus on modernizing classical theories, interdisciplinary integration, and promoting holistic health.

The First Grandmaster, Sigmund Freud
The three masters each have their own distinctive characteristics. From Freud's worldview to the fateful traps of childhood, and from classic cases like Little Hans's fear of horses to modern double-blind experiments, all these illustrate that even individuals heavily influenced by their childhood experiences actually lead happy lives, with 78% reportedly living fulfilling lives
Dr. HUANG said, "Your personality flaws are like system bug reports issued by your childhood."
The profound summary underscores the significant impact of childhood experiences on the formation of an individual's personality, urging people to pay attention to psychological health during their early years. While Freud's theories hold some merit, they clearly do not apply universally, as the majority of individuals do not develop in the way he predicted. This suggests that we should adopt a more objective and comprehensive perspective when examining psychological theories and their influence on our lives.
Dr. HUANG said, "Every psychological counseling session is like uninstalling malicious software installed by your childhood." This research and summary highlight the profound significance and practical effects of psychological counseling within the field of brain science.
A Guide to Rewriting Your Life Script
By writing a "Childhood gossiping Document" and marking it as an "Historical Version, Upgradeable," we are able to confront past experiences in a lighthearted and growth-oriented manner.
Dr. HUANG said, "You can choose to only read the table of contents of the script fate has written for you, and perform out of order."This means that you have the ability to control the trajectory of your own life, without being confined by the original storyline. From a philosophical perspective, the experiences of childhood indeed shape the first half of one's life story. However, the direction of the latter half of life always remains in our own hands, emphasizing the importance of individuals taking proactive control over their own destiny.
The Second Great Master Carl Gustav Jung
The core of Jung's theory is the concept of the "collective unconscious," which refers to a common spiritual gene pool formed by humans during the process of evolution. This gene pool contains the primal experiences and symbols shared by all of humanity, deeply influencing individual behavior and psychological activities. It reveals the deep-seated psychological commonalities and cultural origins among humans.
Dr. HUANG offered a profound insight into life: "Fear is not your original creation; it is an ancient survival program that you have downloaded."
This statement reveals that human fear of the unknown and danger does not originate from one's own creation, but rather is an ancient survival mechanism passed down through evolution.
The collective unconscious is likened to a cloud database for humanity.
It can be compared to the iOS or Android operating systems, storing survival templates formed during millions of years of human evolution. In contrast, an individual's unique life experiences act like application software, constituting personal consciousness. The collective unconscious is not the "trash heap" described by Freud but rather the "spiritual embryo" proposed by Jung. This concept encompasses numerous key elements gradually formed during human evolution: firstly, instinctive programs; secondly, cognitive templates; and lastly, emotional archetypes. These components together form the core essence of the collective unconscious, profoundly influencing human behavior and thought patterns.
Cognitive analogies illustrate that the mental operating system is akin to a smartphone shipped with iOS pre-installed; it comes equipped with various functional modules that profoundly influence human behavior. The archetype is not merely a mythological figure but rather a "psychological organ" residing in our brains. For instance, the self-archetype acts as the brain's CEO, or decision-making hub; the shadow archetype is considered a sealed-off "dark personality copy"; and the trauma archetype is viewed as the memory of vaccines in the psychological immune system.
The methodology of a Personal Growth Toolbox
Including methods such as prototype matching, leveraging MBTI to identify your dominant archetype; shadow journaling, recording the emotional red flags each day and the triggering archetypes behind them; and cultural healing, activating different collective archetypes through various art forms. Dr. HUANG reminds us: do not assume that you are conquering the world; in reality, you are merely performing as a stunt artist within the script of the collective unconscious. It is crucial to deeply understand the importance of these tools for self-exploration. The book also delves into the evolution of archetypes throughout civilization, offering a comprehensive analysis of how archetypes manifest across different cultural mediums and their significance.
New Archetypes in the Digital Age
Social media addiction = A pathological pursuit of the 'infinite connectivity archetype'
Virtual idol worship = A projection mutation of the digitized 'beautiful youth/goddess archetype'
Metaverse construction = Humanity's attempt to rebuild the 'ideal state archetype' in the digital world
Dr. HUANG says, "The technological revolution we are experiencing is, in essence, the collective unconscious undergoing self-iteration within virtual space and time."
Utilizing Three Cognitive Leaps for Psychological Growth and Reflection on Destiny
They are respectively: You're not growing up; you're just patching the code written for the collective subconscious. The essence of anxiety is an internal civil war between the soul of a 'modern person' and that of a 'primitive Homo sapiens'. Psychotherapy is not about fixing malfunctions but upgrading your spiritual operating system.
When you toss and turn late at night, remember that 90% of your anxiety isn't original content. Every modern person is a caveman in a suit. What changes fate isn't effort on a conscious level but upgrades to the subconscious system. Ultimately, you'll discover that those who drive you crazy are merely distorted reflections through the funhouse mirror of the collective subconscious.
Dr. HUANG tells us that what we do throughout our lives is essentially compile the primitive code of the collective subconscious into a life program that belongs to us. This statement profoundly reveals the impact of the subconscious on human behavior and destiny, as well as how one can change the trajectory of their life by upgrading the subconscious system.
The Second Great Master Alfred Adler
Adler's core theory is "teleology," emphasizing that, unlike traditional psychology (such as Freud's view that depression stems from childhood trauma), Adler proposed that depression is the result of an individual choosing to use sadness as a weapon. Dr. HUANG further explains that while psychotherapists seek out causes, Adlerians provide what might be seen as excuses. However, these "excuses" actually serve as a means to empower people, giving them the motivation to rewrite their life's narrative and encouraging them to become brave enough to revise their life script at this very moment.
Adler revealed the truth of his choice
It is pointed out that choosing all of the above (A, B, and C) as correct answers is valid because making these choices demonstrates that you are "actively scripting." This implies that the individual's decision-making process in life is characterized by creativity and initiative, reflecting their ability to take control of their own destiny.
Core Principles of Teleology and Life Navigation
Within the core principles of teleology lies the fascinating concept of a life GPS, much like the positioning function depicted through animations on a smartphone interface. This life GPS updates in real-time the path from our current position to our life goals. We often think we have taken a wrong turn, but in reality, these are reminders from the system. It tells us, dear screenwriter, that the endpoint you have set may need its parameters adjusted to better achieve your life planning and navigation.
Cognitive Scaffolding Supports Personal Growth
First is the Illusion of Cause stage, followed by the Goal Radar stage, and finally the Action Programming stage. As Dr. HUANG puts it in his classic quotes: Psychological trauma is likened to forgetting to partition memory, while anxiety is compared to a phone battery alert, reminding us to recharge our dreams. Moreover, what we perceive as shortcomings might actually be hidden Easter eggs for our future lives. This is Dr. HUANG's profound interpretation of psychology from a unique perspective.
Analysis of three principles of teleology
Rule One is about how there are no coincidences in life, only predestined inevitabilities. Rule Two posits that pain is a disguised gift, much like battling a boss in a game. Adler believed that failing to pass isn't due to inferior equipment but rather not finding the hidden guide within the mission description. Rule Three elucidates the concept of interpersonal relationships as scenarios on a stage, illustrated through a situational dialogue. This dialogue underscores the perspective that recognizing one's life role through the eyes of others is where true social wisdom lies.
Finally, Dr. HUANG shared with us the toolbox for rewriting scripts, application scenarios for breaking curse in relationships, and the misunderstood concepts of Adler and the separation of tasks. Adler’s theory of "separation of tasks" has been commonly misused by the public. As an important concept, it is often used as an excuse for indifference and shirking responsibility. There is a dangerous trend where emotional detachment is seen as "task separation", turning what was originally a wise idea into rhetoric for sophisticated egocentrism.
True task separation involves a responsible yet warm-hearted delineation, emphasizing not taking on others' destinies while simultaneously conveying a sense of connection that says "I am with you." Task separation is not just a method but also a wisdom and attitude. The meaning of life lies in contribution; only by first managing one's own life well can we better illuminate the lives of others. Starting from now, bravely go ahead and rewrite your life script!
