Hugh Savagae: A Psychotherapy Failure

“He repeated this process with about a dozen other cancer patients. He told them he was testing their immune systems; he said nothing about injecting them with someone else’s malignant cells” (Skloot 128).

According to Ryckman (2012), the definition of personality is “Despite the many definitions of the term, investigators generally agree that personality is the dynamic and organized set characteristics possessed by a person that uniquely influences his or her cognitions, motivations, and behaviors in various situations” (p. 4). Many people in the field of psychology have developed their own theories of personality in hopes of understanding people better and getting a grasp on human behavior. According to Sharf (2012), one of the first individuals to use psychoanalysis and psychotherapy was Sigmund Fraud. Sigmund Freud’s theory of how to perform psychoanalysis was considered to be the best through 1930s- 1950s and most of the main theorists were trained under Freud’s psychoanalysis theory (Sharf, 2012).

In Susanne Vees-Gulani’s article, A Psychiatric Approach to Kurt Vonnegut, she writes about the mental state of Kurt Vonnegut through the character of Billy Pilgrim, a war veteran. Gulani diagnoses Billy Pilgrim with PTSD based on the symptoms he displays in the book. Billy’s PTSD is caused by a near death incident or traumatic event. It is also caused by sensory phenomena, such as the Barbershop Quartet. Billy shows symptoms of PTSD though his rejection to communicate with the world.

The process also replaces the explosion with a gas gun. The gas gun is basically a gun that shoots projectiles at hypervelocity,

Adam-client begins his psychiatric sessions with Katherine-counselor, a trainee attempting with respect to her doctorate. He discovers that he was her third patient and he feels that she was not well prepared for the first session of the day. Adam left disturbed by her inexperience and compatibility. Adam was diagnosed as a cancer patient. At first he was strong to know that he has cancer and he reveal this to this family and friends. As time goes, Adam did research on the Internet that he only has 50% chance of survival. He wanted to discuss about his illness and want to feel better and share his feeling to a trusted person, so he met Katherine. He felt so down that he was diagnosed that he has cancer because he doesn’t smoke or drinks so

15 years have been passed since the trial of Tom Robinson and his death, and 10 merciless years without Jeremy. His arm healed eventually, but the rest of him did not. Who would’ve thought that the broken arm may result the cancer? None of us did.

I am the immune system of this body, and have seen and fought against the vicious moves of the defendant. Here we have the case of a cancerous cell attacking the body of an innocent human being. Ruthless in his aggression, he first took over sections of the skin, and then moved on in his hostility against the human being and various parts of the body. My client, who first brought this trial into action and has also been attacked by the cancer cell, is a lymphocyte and will help in proving the defendant's guilt. On March 12, 2008, the defendant was seen entering the body through a group of skin cells. Taking destructive actions against them, he moved on to the lungs. He succeeded in damaging parts of it, then continued on his plunder. The brain was the next one to suffer. This he was currently corrupting, but was caught by several white blood cells. They resulted in capturing him, after his various attempts at escaping and several acts of violence. We have come today to prove his guilt of murder and felony. Thank you. (sits

Neville Bean and her husband, Harris Diamant, found an illustrated album that was created in a psychiatric hospital in small town Missouri in 2008. The album is an accumulation of drawings from a patient in the ward around the 1860s. Evidence later revealed the artist was identified as Edward Deeds.

Notwithstanding the immense progression in the cancer chemotherapy field, small-molecule drugs even though they were highly potent, were risky due to their non-specific toxicity due

The Cerulean group is focused on enhancing treatments for individuals living with disease. Established in 2006, the organization is creating nanopharmaceutical medicines that expect to target tumors, while saving whatever remains of the body. This is unique to other lethal diseases drugs. The group's lead component is hopeful. CRLX101 is in different trials with affirmed cancer medications to release the force of this powerful therapy.

As an elegant manipulation of the cell cycle, cancer pathways have demanded significant attention by the world’s researchers. From molecular biology to inorganic chemistry, each field has conducted a variety of studies to elucidate the pathways cancer manipulates in order to develop successful treatments. To this end, chemotherapy emerged as a prominent research field in the early 1960s and is a type of cancer treatment that uses drugs to stop or slow the growth of cancer cells.1 Classical chemotherapeutics began with cisplatin and expanded to develop more potent second and third generation analogues, such as oxaliplatin and carboplatin

While chemotherapy and nanotechnology are both being utilized to treat cancer, they differentiate in the targeting procedure. Chemotherapy is a type of treatment for cancerous cells by cytotoxic drugs. Patients either receive monotherapy or combination therapy. The administration of these drugs can be orally or intravenously depending on the origin of the cancer. These chemotherapeutic agents work by interfering with the cell's genetic material, blocking the beneficial nutrients from the cell, triggering apoptosis and stopping the growth of blood vessels that supply the tumor. As a result, the increasingly divided cells are destroyed which leads to the disintegration of healthy cells alongside the cancer cells. Examples of healthy

Chemical rocket propellants are most commonly used, which undergo exothermic chemical reactions to produce hot gas used by a rocket for propulsive purposes.

Reducing toxicity of therapeutic materials is the main aim of developing drug-delivery systems that is achieved using CNTs.1, 2 The intense interest in CNTs is due to the capability of adsorbing or conjugating with a wide variety of medicinal molecules and their unique chemical and physical properties and potential applications from high strength and low weight nanocomposite materials to electronic devices. Drug molecule penetrate through the cancer cell by CNT to treat diseases and thereby potentially reducing the drug side effects by preserving the non-targeted tissues of the patients.3-5 The

I began to learn how intricately cancer interplays with the complexity of the human body, and was eager to learn how basic science research could be translated to clinical applications. My most compelling realization at that time was the urgent need for more effective targeted therapies that could overcome drug resistance and focus cytotoxic effects exclusively on cancer cells. I also became aware of challenges in developing therapeutics within the context of cancer heterogeneity. I also presented our research findings at the 2011 Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) Conference at Ohio State University, the 2011 Purdue Summer Research Opportunities Program (SROP) Conference, and the 2011 Mount Holyoke College Learning from Application (LEAP) Symposium.
