Hannibal Psychology

1.) Bowlby's attachment theory stresses the importance of a secure attachment between an infant and his or her mother. If the caregiver, most likely the mother, makes the infant feel like he or she is well-taken care of, then the child learns that they can trust that the mother will always be around and will be there when or if the child ever needs someone to depend on. This is achieved in four distinct ways (Myers, 2009). The infant needs to have a secure base with the child. The child needs to know that if he or she becomes afraid, they will always have someone to go back to. This secure base also needs to be a safe haven where the child can be comforted upon feeling afraid. The child will also always try to stay near the caregiver in order to feel this safe haven, and any separation will cause distress because of being away from their secure base and safe haven. All of these factors come into play in the article "Ghosts in the nursery: A psychoanalytic approach to the problems of impaired infant-mother relationships" (Fraiberg et al 1975). By lacking these specific features, the infant going into the program were deprived of the necessary mechanisms that Bowlby asserted were essential to forming a well-rounded secure person.

From the very beginning of Slaughterhouse Five the biggest question is: is it real or delusion? Throughout the book, Billy pilgrim claims to travel through time and be abducted by aliens, but until the later chapters, there is no solid evidence as to whether it is real or just delusion. The truth about Billy’s tale is concealed until near the end of the book when he meets Kilgore Trout and finally some solid evidence shows that Billy’s unusual adventures are just delusions and insanity.

Compare and Contrast the approach to studying children’s friendships taken in the Bigelow and La Gaipa (1975) study with that taken by William Corsaro.

Will uses anger, denial, and sarcasm as defense mechanisms to push people away from him. He told people that he did not have a problem and that they were the ones with the problem. He used

Kurt Vonnegut’s novel Slaughterhouse-Five contains important implications for psychoanalytic criticism. These implications are portrayed in the behavior of Billy Pilgrim, a World War II veteran whose life is full of traumatic experiences. Even a reader not reading this novel through a psychoanalytic lens can conclude that Billy’s life is full of traumatic experiences and being unstuck in time. Through a psychoanalytic lens we can see that Billy is merely trying to save himself from remembering those traumatic experiences through repression, the expunging from consciousness. The psychoanalytic concept of repression is so pervasive in the novel that, through a psychoanalytic lens, it seems to be the only reason for Billy Pilgrim’s continued existence.

During a span of three days’ time they videotaped themselves raping and torturing the poor girl, forcing her to consume huge amounts of alcohol at a time and to behave submissive to Paul. On the third day, they beat her gruesomely and strangled her until she died. Kristen French’s body wasn’t discovered until April 30th, 1992, laying in a ditch naked in Burlington. After hearing these three incidents in particular I got a sense that Karla Homolka was in fact jealous of the girls they picked as victims. The girls were young, smart, beautiful, pure and intelligent. They possessed many qualities that Karla did not and that is probably why she helped choose them. Paul Bernardo in my opinion just wanted to take away purity. The girls were so young and pure that Paul looked at them as objects

Will sees himself as a “southie”, a loser. To maintain congruence between his self-view and his experiences his acts out. He starts fights and stays in trouble. He doesn't seek anything better for himself.

John Nash was extremely intelligent man but let his work take over a lot of his life. I would describe his attitude as cocky as he believed he was much smarter than others and loved to prove it which is shown in the beginning with the board game between him and Hanson. I figured that he was one that knew he was there for the education and not to party like his fellow classmates were doing. He would stay in his room studying and figuring out the hardest math problems and working them on the windows. Figuring out math problems was what made his day.The clues that were the most alarming were when Nash and Charles are sitting on the roof they are chatting on a university building roof and getting to know each other better. Nash and Charles are

Pretty Little Liars is a television show based on a set of novels that focuses on the lives of four teenage girls and the struggles that they face daily. After the murder of their cliques Queen Bee, Alison, each girl begins to get harassed and an anonymous bully threatens to expose all of their secrets. They are abused mentally after what seems like a never ending search to discover who the anonymous person that is harassing them is. The strong relationship that the girls maintain through their anxiety ridden high school career shows us that friendship can help to keep you strong. We will be looking specifically at Abnormal Behavior demonstrated throughout the girls high school days; Social identity theory demonstrated by

Hannibal makes the romance between Will and Hannibal very tasteful and realistic. Their feelings for the other grow slowly, there is not one point when you can definitively say that this is when their feelings begin. It is just an easy, natural progression of their relationship. I admit that the romantic undertones of Hannibal and Will’s interactions were what initially led me to watch the show, but I ultimately fell for the masterful writing that Bryan Fuller, the creator, created with Mads Mikkelsen. The NBC revival of Hannibal shows Dr. Hannibal Lecter before Silence of the Lambs, before his imprisonment. It follows Will Graham, a gifted FBI profiler with the ability to see into the mind of anyone he chooses. This ability takes a great toll on Will’s mental stability and because of this, he is forced to take on a psychiatrist, Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen). Hannibal’s initial goal is to manipulate the FBI from within but he unexpectedly finds himself captivated by Will. Due to Will’s instability, it is easy for Hannibal to push the bounds of Will’s mind in order to make him realize his true, beautiful potential...as a killer (“Hannibal (TV series)”).

(AC1) Two perspectives in psychology are the behaviourist approach and the biological (also known as physiological) approach. These perspectives consist of different theories, research methods and treatments in relation to mental illness.

In the book, Ffrankenstein, I would diagnose Vvictor with Depression and Anxiety. “Difficulty sleeping or excessive sleeping” are symptoms of depression (Ford-Martin & Odle ). Shelley wrote, “Sleep fled from my eyes; I wandered like an evil spirit,for i had committed deeds of misschief beyond description horrible, and more,much more (i persuaded myself) was yet behind” (77). By reading the article about depression and the book i said he has depression because he can't sleep very well. Feelings of worthlessness or guilt are also symptoms of depression. (Ford-Martin & Odle ). “The blood flowed freely in my veins, but a weight of despair and remorse pressed on my heart which nothing could remove,” (Shelley 77). The article also said feeling worthless and guilt

Hunting agrees, but has a hard time with dealing with a psychologist, scaring five away, two are shown. He then meets Lambeau's old college roommate, Sean Maguire (Robin Williams). It is Maguire that turns Will around because he is not afraid to talk back to him.

It can be postulated that the Joker is in fact an individual who has become fixated on one of these stages; more specifically the oral stage. This hypothesis stems from the observation that he consistently licks his lips through the duration of the film. Freud's theory would suggest that he does this as a way to feel pleasure or comfort. For instance, during the interrogation scene with Batman it is evident that the Joker is anxious and constantly licks his lips, perhaps as a way to diminish his feeling of anxiety ( De La Noy & Nolan, 2008). The question that remains is why is the joker fixated at this stage? Could it be due to his traumatic experience? Does the pleasure associated with this horrible experience have anything to do with his psychopathic nature? Unfortunately, the responses to these questions are entirely based on the different interpretations each individual has and, therefore; the true answers may never be known.
