Bleuler's Inferences

Anna O was 21 year old patient of Breuer. Anna O had developed strange symptoms while taking care of her father who was ill. She developed a cough along with paralysis, hallucinations, hysteria, and loss of feeling in her arms and legs as well as muscle spasms. Breuer could not figure out why Anna was experiencing these types of symptoms so he deemed it hysterical neurosis (Heller, 2005). While under hypnosis Anna’s symptoms were not as severe and she could recall dramatic events that had taken place in her life prior to her symptoms. We now know that Freud used Anna’s case to help develop his clinical experience even though he never treated or worked with her. Freud implemented free association into clinical practice that allowed the patient to speak freely and express their opinions about

In Bly’s time, mental illnesses were not taken seriously. Bly described the asylum she was admitted to as overcrowded, cold, and dirty (ch. 7). It defeated the purpose of trying to give extra attention to those in need. It was easy to get admitted into an institution, but nearly impossible to make it out because the treatment was not treatment.

In the mid 1900s, psychiatrist Leo Kanner and a pediatrician Hans Asperger used the same word “autism” for a condition where children had deficits in socializing and forming contact. Stemming off the greek word “autos” meaning self, Kanner stated that autistic children had good cognitive potential yet they had islets of ability meaning their intelligence was focused in silos. There was an assumption that autistics were incapable of intelligence and were mentally disabled. Later, Laurent Mottron discredited the theories that autism is caused parents or “refrigerator mothers” and shed light on the fact that neurotypicals lack the abilities of autistic savants. The view of individuals with autism is skewed and as Amanda Baggs shows in her vivid video describing her behaviour, it

Laing, who examined the existential aspect of symptom’s characteristic; and Michel Foucault, who explored the social and political factors of the institutionalization of those with mental illness. Mental illness, to these academics, was “a social construction used to label socially intolerable behavior” thereby branding it as individual flaws. Such claims from academic figures such as Szasz, Laing, and Foucault led to an anti-psychiatry movement that was highly critical of the psychiatric authority. Psychiatry and psychology at the time was argued to “enforce power relations rather than [treat] actual clinical conditions” which mirrored Szasz’s ideas on the political agenda behind psychology and

Local churches around Blythe came together under Palo Verde College Performing Arts Center’s roof, to lift up holy hands, sing to the Lord a new song and worship as a interdenominational congregation.

Eugen Blueler, a psychiatrist, was the first to introduce the name "Autism" but he diagnosed this disease to a schizophrenic adult. Leo Kanner distinguished the two later in order to clarify the understanding of the disability. (Forty-six)

The term “autism” has been used for approximately one hundred years. Autism comes from the Greek word “autos” which means “self.” Self applies to autism because people are taken away from their social life and isolate themselves. A Switzerland psychiatrist, Eugen Bleuler, was the first person ever to use the word autism in 1911 towards symptoms of schizophrenia. From 1940 through the 1990s, doctors have had many theories on how autism affects children. They came to the conclusion that autism medically affects each child differently. Towards the 1980s

Besides BonJour's argument of illustrative examples, moderate rationalism is defended by two intimately related dialectical arguments. The argument is that the denial of a priori justification will lead to a severe skepticism, in which only the most direct experience could be justified. Stemming from this severe skepticism, comes the stronger argument that argumentation itself becomes impossible. This essay will describe the distinct segments of the argument and will demonstrate the relationship between the two arguments.

As one reads Blythe’s (1999) work the step-by-step process with which the author analyzed his data is unclear. As first blush, one would imagine that Blythe took scrupulous field notes, taking care to write down detailed descriptions as he made his observations, conducted interviews, and reviewed any oral histories which may have been provided to him by the subjects themselves. One imagines a stenographer of sorts, who captures every detail to be revealed to the reader with every turn of the page. As the subjects of the study reveal themselves in their histories, Blythe would have coded the insights, opinions and ideas of his subjects as well as his own observations using, “a word or a short phrase” (Concordia, n.d., para.1). Blythe would have then examined his field notes thoroughly in order to identify trends

In 1895, Freud studied his first serious piece of psychoanalytic literature, titled Studies on Hysteria. At this time, it could hardly be guessed how much of an impact he would make in the field of psychology. And because of his research’s applications on the mental processes of people, his theory transferred quite naturally and effectively into the world of literary theory and criticism—both to study characters within a text, and to study the writers of the texts themselves. His theory and research have innumerable applications to literature specifically for this reason—because the mental faculties and processes of characters and authors can be analyzed with the same set of theory. Such is the case with Harriet Jacobs’s

The word “autism” was first used by a Swiss psychiatrist Eugene Bleuler in an article written in the American Journal of Insanity in 1912. It comes from the Greek word meaning self. Bleuler used it to describe the schizophrenic’s seeming difficulty in connecting with others (“Autism”).

In the prologue The Wife of Bath, is not an admirable woman because she had five husbands and she only picked them by their looks and for their money. The way she treated men was so bad that she thought she was getting used. She also wanted to show women how to take their selves in a relationship and be in control without loving someone.

From the mid 1900s, austism (a mental imbalance of one brain) has alluded to a scope of psychological conditions. The word autism is utilized to portray a subset of schizophrenic patients who were particularly pulled back and self-absorbed.The term autism first was utilized by therapist Eugen Bleuler as a part of 1908. He utilized it to depict a schizophrenic patient who had pulled back into his own reality. The Greek word ""autós"" implied self and "extreme introvertedness" was utilized by Bleuler to mean sullen self-appreciation and withdrawal inside self. A mental imbalance makes being uninformed of what's socially suitable, discovering visiting or casual conversation troublesome and not mingling much. Individuals with extreme introvertedness
