Introduction Antoinette Frank, a former New Orleans police offer, she was raised her early years in New Orleans and moved to Opelousas later. When she graduated, she later returned to New Orleans to fulfill her dream of becoming a police officer. Since a small girl, she always wanted to be a police officer. The biological effects of Antoinette Frank, occurred from the start of being a member of a broken family, and her brother was a known law fugitive. It did not help that her father appeared in her life on random occasions. All of these situations took an effect on Frank, who later became distressed about the issues she was faced with, later need psychiatric help. Frank acted out in this heinous crime, because she never was thought or felt any empathy towards nothing or no one, because she was not thought this type of action, through the developmental phase. Biological theories believe that we are good and bad people based on the biological predispositions involved, so since she had an upbringing of unstablility he affected her decisions she made. As for the learning theory, children simply learn what they are taught from others, whether its morals, values and certain behaviors. Since, before she got hired as a police officer, she had failed physicarist test and fake good on them, making herself look good. (“Black and Blue,” n.d.) In addition, Frank was caught lying on her application and during her pre-employment interview, two failed psychological evaluations, her
This learning theory is basically the idea that as you can be taught good behavior you could also be taught deviant behavior as well. Terence is taught to be deviant with drug sales. He is exposed to this early in life. This falls into the priority of the learning theory. Charles took Terence
Antoinette Frank biological, I can agree that Ms. Frank did not need to become a Peace Officer (police officer), but I put most of the blame on the New Orleans Police Department recruiters at the time when she was hired. If a person is found guilty on being dishonesty and had multiple red flags doing their hiring processing to become a Peace Officer (police officer) for the New Orleans Police Department they should had been eliminated from the hiring process. I understand in the early 90’s New Orleans was a rough place to live because of the crack epidemic and the murder rate being show high. There were also fewer Peace Officers (police officer) who was honesty, professional and would risk their own lives to make sure the community was safe and for someone else could have a chance to live that day. The New Orleans Police Department and along with other police departments around the nation had Peace Officer (police officer) leaving the department and department was short-handed on the streets. But that don’t give anyone the right to hirer quantity over quality because when a department does that they would have more corruption on their
In Chapter 7 of our What Is Psychology textbook, we learned about the importance, details and strategies of memory techniques. One type of memory is Short Term, which only last up to thirty seconds before forgetting. Whenever has to remember a number or a name, they often repeat the information multiple times so that the Short Term Memory can transition into Long Term Memory. In order for this transition to occur, the information must be constantly repeated, or important enough to be held in the permanent memory, which helps create a “folder” with all retaining information and reminiscing. Another way short term can become long term is using a method called Chunking, this breaks the bigger pictures into smaller ones for the brain to remember,
As discussed and studied there are many who now have a hard time believing there psych disorders exists. Understandably so, because we find that it can become repetitive once a criminal has scene that there may be a way out of their consequence. Mr. Kenneth Bianchi is known as the Hillside Strangler and also a man who brought more skepticism to psych defenses in crime. This is a man who was caught and convicted for 15 rapes and murders. In his younger years you could say he has slightly a tragic story. His biological mother was a drunk but “was adopted at birth and had a love-hate relationship with women even as a young child.” (Bio, 2017)
While doing some research on psychological criticism, I found that Arnold Friend in Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been by Joyce Carol Oates and notorious murderer Charles Schmid of The Pied Piper of Tucson by Don Moser have characteristics of being a psychopath, motive for killing, similar comparisons of innocence taken by an evil mind, and how Oates wrote her story based upon Schmid’s personality. Psychological criticism as explained in Retellings by M.B. Clarke and A.G. Clarke states “psychological criticism looks at internal influences on an author’s creation and our reception of it…whether the words and images can be read symbolically” (Clarke A-46). Throughout the paper, I will be addressing the psychological criticism of the schools of literary criticism from Retellings. I will be introducing a fictional character and a non-fictional character, a long with their characteristics, comparisons between Oates character with Moser’s, and ideology based upon the non-fictional character.

Johnny Adair portrayed several characteristic traits that stood out as strikingly odd. The behaviors would be categorized as paranoia, erratic, impulsive, co-morbidity, and manic-depressive which were consistent commonalities throughout his lifespan. Several psychological concepts stood out through Johnny's behavior - need for power, affiliation intimacy, achievement, the unconscious, pleasure principle, id, reality principle, superego, neurotic anxiety, defense mechanism, repression, projection, rationalization, and denial (Cottom, Dietz-Uhlet, Mastors, and Preston, 2010). The need for power, affiliation, intimacy and achievement are known to be part of the motive theory; the other concepts are typically categorized as part of the psychoanalytic
The principles of the biological theories allow us the understanding that all biological theories should evaluate common factors that relate to each other from one biological theory to the other (Schmalleger, 2012). The first parts of the biological theory assess the importance for the theories to make a connection between criminal behavior and the human brain and a person’s personality and the studies of neurology and neurochemistry. This meaning that a person’s ability to control antisocial behavior stems from their environment and the and family genes gives the person directly into right and wrong. There is also a standard that should evaluate the connection between different groups such a sex and racial makeup that that of criminal behavior as well as human instinctive behavior (Dretske, 2014). The link between the evolutionary development of a person criminal behavior or ability to
When I started this class this pass September I had a little knowledge of psychology. In my junior year of high school I took Psychology as an elective class. I really enjoy it alot, it amaze me how much there was to know about our brains. This September I came with the feeling that this psychology class was going to be way different from my psychology class from high school. And that my knowledge from my class before wasn’t going to be useful at all. But I was wrong, this class has actually been better than my other class. Because it has help dust off some of the concepted that I had learn before. But it has also made gain more knowledge about psychology that I didn’t knew before. For example the next concepts are the ones that had impacted me the most: critical thinking and the eight essential, implicit learning, short term and long term memories. I chose these concept because they have not only taught me more about psychology, but they have made a big impact on me.

The psychodynamic perspective focuses on the role of the unconscious mind in the development of personality. Freud believed that the personality develops in a series of five stages that develop the three divisions of personality. In the oral stage, the fixation is in the mouth, and would be the cause of his introverted nature; likewise, in the anal stage, Roberto would discover his reserved nature, while the phallic stage, he would further refine his reserved nature as a sense of humility in his actions, also defining his mild mannered portion of his personality. In the latency stage, his social skills would refined and he would become introverted. Freud would think that Roberto’s mild-mannered, reserved, and invertedness is caused by intense suppressing of the id by the ego, having Roberto adopt the personality that he does; however, Karen Horney would classify Roberto’s personality in respect to her theory of neurotic personalities- personalities typified by maladaptive ways of dealing with relationships- with moving away from people by withdrawing from personal relationships.
Chapter 4 illustrated how mental disorders is viewed in this society; however, I grow up some of my youth in a society where mental illness is view as a witchcraft instead of a sickness. Ever since I can remembered, my late mother was an alcoholic. Growing up as a child whenever she decided to stop drinking, we have to take her to church or give her Valium to sleep because she will be hearing voices telling her to do things. As a young girl, I was always going to church with her; however, when we came to the United States it got worse. Whenever she decided to stop drinking, I will be the one to go buy her alcohol because we would not sleep at night if she does not drink. When I took abnormal psychology that is when I learned that my late mother
My patient’s name is Eddie Weinstein. He is a 55 year old, homosexual, single male. He has Bipolar II Disorder. This is a disorder where people have hypomanic and depressive episodes. He has a combination of both manic and depression symptoms and it was hard to tell what he had at first but I soon figured it out. His manic symptoms are: having a lot of energy, having trouble sleeping, becoming more active than usual, having increased activity levels, feeling agitated or irritable and thinking he can do a lot of things at once. His depression symptoms are: feeling tired and slowed down, having trouble remembering and concentrating, very little energy, sad, empty inside and thoughts about suicide and death.
Marcel Duchamp is easily considered one of the most important artist of his era as well as the father of conceptual art. His journey toward these titles is well documented and the artworks that allowed for these major transitions have been widely appreciated. Because of this knowledge of his life and artworks, it’s easy to see just how instrumental women have been in his artistic journey.
This research article was taken from the Association for Psychological Science (APS) Journal. This specific issue had a total of ten articles, and while they are covering different topics and studies, some of them do focus on similar ideas. Psychology is all about the study of the mind, and how it has different parts intended for unique functions. It seems like a good portion of the articles for this specific journal deal with emotions and how the body interprets them. One article deals with the stress of different generations, while another deals with an individual’s willpower against sugar. There is an article about self-esteem and how that varies during a lifetime, as well as an article on cooperation. The article that will be specifically discussed in this research paper also has to deal with how the body interprets things when it comes to a stressful situation, such as a crime. It looks at how reliable eyewitness testimony is after traumatic events, specifically in regards to lineups.
