Case Study On Psychology

The individual I did my crime scenario on, Ricky, has a lengthy criminal record, and participated in a violent offence, which lead him to serving a life sentence. His upbringing was filled with neglect from family members, and bullying from peers. Furthermore, he was susceptible to substance abuse, and pro-criminal attitudes and associations, therefore leading to a life of criminal activity. The theories which support his behaviour are: differentiation association theory, social control theory, and psychopathy. This is an individual who suffers from impulsivity, lack of empathy for actions, as well as displaying no signs of remorse. A pour relationship with his father, lead to attachment issues, he has no regard for what society thought of

Sheldon Cooper is a character in the fictional television show, “The Big Bang Theory”. Sheldon is extremely knowledgeable and brilliant in the things he knows and is passionate about, but everything else that doesn’t interest him, he completely ignores. Sheldon is a theoretical physicist at Caltech, having earned his B.S., M.S., M.A., Ph.D., and Sc.D. He lives with his roommate and Caltech colleague, Leonard Hofstadter, an experimental physicist. Having lived together for 10 years, the two have become best friends.

Stanford Binet. Larry is diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder and displays symptoms consistent with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. He has been home schooled for grades K-5th. His parents are having financial difficulties which prompted the mother to return to the workforce. Larry has been enrolled in the local Middle School and his mother is concerned about his academic placement. Larry exhibits difficulty with organization, sitting still, staying on task, controlling anger outbursts, and has not been completing work on level with his same aged peers. The school is wanting to place Larry in a Specific Learning Disabled class or a Severely Emotionally Disturbed class. The school psychologist has been asked to confer with Dr. Binet’s clinic for a neuropsychological evaluation to determine why Larry is not performing like other students. Three possible neuropsychological tests have been recommended; the NEPSY-II, the Luria-Nebraska Neuropsychological Battery, and the Kaufman Assessment Battery for

A second questionnaire will be given after the independent variable is presented to the participants in order to determine their aggression and what kind of aggression they are feeling and experiencing. A third and final questionnaire will be given after the study to determine their moods and feelings after the study. The independent variable in this study will be the videos the participants

In the video, Ellen is interviewing this couple who has a baby, named Ellie, that could rock climb at the age of eight months old, two months before she could walk. In the interview with the parents, it was found out that Ellie had been taken to a rock climbing gym since she was about two weeks old, and both of her parent’s rock climbed really regularly so she was there quiet often. Towards the end of the video they go to a rock wall and Ellie is encouraged to climb it. They placed a dinosaur at the top of the rock wall and told the Ellie to go get it. The parents supported her as she climbed the rock wall. Ellie then knocked the dinosaur off and everyone cheered for her. She then preceded to climb back down the rock wall safely to the ground.

Brian was quite thought disordered and somewhat guarded. He had significant psychomotor retardation and was largely incoherent. People with psychomotor retardation move, speak, react, and usually think more slowly than normal. This can manifest in a variety of ways, largely depending on the severity of the impairment. An affected person's speech is noticeably slow and may be punctuated by long pauses or losing the train of thought (Purse, 2017). He was observed gesturing throughout the assessment and told me he was “talking to the devil”. He did not answer me when I asked him whether he was suicidal or not.

The aim of this case study is to investigate the participants relationships with other family members. Why does she argue so much with her mother? The problem that the client is faced with is in the relationship that she has with her mother. Although the love between them is clearly evident, there is a lot of friction between them and there are frequent arguments fought out. Symptoms from the client include violent swearing, shouting, sarcastic remarks, verbal attacks and sometimes physical violence. I have found that her argumentative behaviour seems to be mostly caused by adolescent puberty, with biological hormone changes being ever present. Small stimuli and annoyances will trigger this

It can be presumed, due to their middle class status, that Regina’s mother was receiving proper pre natal care and had access to the proper nutrition for healthy development of the child. Regina was receiving proper nutrition as long as her mother was eating well although, if she was not eating well before her pregnancy that would lead to her having to change her eating habits to accommodate the baby. If Regina’s mother did not change the way she was eating for her baby to receive the proper nutrients, then this could have caused Regina’s “physical, socioemotional, and intellectual development to be compromised” (Broderick & Blewitt, p55). There is a possibility that Regina’s mother was drinking during her pregnancy as a way to cope with her husband’s emotional and/or physical abuse. Two effects alcohol has on the fetus are metacognitive and language deficits which could explain Regina’s lisp and lack of understanding in regard to her moral actions (Broderick & Blewitt, 2015). Thus, it is more likely that Regina would have developed properly with access to prenatal care and proper nutrition.

A case study is a qualitative research method that involves the observation of a person, group, or community over an extended period to identify the process and development of a particular issue of interest. Apart from observation, a case study may employ other data collection methods such as unstructured interviews; reading a subject’s personal diaries, personal notes, official documents, and analyzing a subject’s photos, which will help provide a detailed and clear profile of the study subject and a comprehension of the particular issue of interest in the subject. Since a case study is usually carried over long periods of time, it is usually more detailed than other research methods. Sometimes quantitative data may also be collected from a case study. It is not uncommon to find the application of a case study in Psychology for research. Renowned psychologists, such as Sigmund Freud, applied case studies in their psychological research. Examples of Freud’s famous case studies are The Rat Man and Little Hans, which he both carried out in 1909. Today, students of psychiatry and abnormal psychology are encouraged to employ case study in their development of clear insights about a certain mental disorder. Below is an example of a case study of someone with histrionic personality disorder.
