Lindsay Lohan's Id, Ego And Superego

Miley’s life in the spotlight led to the young star to suffer from severe bouts of anxiety and depression. Long hours, a demanding schedule and tons of attention coalesced into a wave of emotional instability. “I would have anxiety attacks. I’d get hot flashes, feel like I was about to pass out or throw up. It would happen a lot before shows,and I’d have to cancel. Then the anxiety started coming from anxiety.” (Miley Says Hannah Montana Caused Body Issues, Interview). “You get in this hole that seems like you’re never going to be able to get out of.” She has also struggled with weed. “I think weed is the best drug on earth. One time I a smoked a joint with peyote in it, and I saw a wolf howling at the moon.” Hollywood is a coke town, but weed is much better. And molly, too. Those are happy drugs- social drugs. They make you want to be with friends. You’re out in open. You’re not in a bathroom.I really don't like coke. It’s so gross and so dark. It’s like what are you,from the Nineties? Ew.”Many celebrities have/is overcoming anxiety disorders/ drugs and it can be very serious at some point.” Source information? Last but not least, Miley’s accomplished music career and

The Sociocultural Perspective explains Britney Spears’s case because she grew up in a bad home environment. Spears grew up with an alcoholic and verbally abusive father (Surge, 2016). This event led to her picking up the same bad habits of her father, and become an alcoholic. Instead of the rage, she just lost herself. It is hard to imagine being in that position. Everyone’s eyes always on everyone else’s, their every move being monitored, making sure they do not say anything irreversible. Due to her manager, the paparazzi were always around her. At the time, her manager would leak her location to the paparazzi, knowing that she was having a

The movie 28 Days stages an out of control alcoholic and drug addict Gwen Cummings. Sandra Bullock is the main character in this movie. Gwen is an alcoholic writer who lives with her boyfriend up north Manhattan. It starts one night when Gwen and her boyfriend is partying and causes her to oversleep and be late to her sister's wedding. She created a disaster in which ruined her sister’s wedding by getting to drunk and messed up the cake. Gwen then stole her sister's limo to look for another cake and drove it into someone's house due to her heavy intoxication that caused her to be sentenced in rehab or jail; she chose rehab for help. Gwen was so happy and high off life that she wasn't expecting to be forced to give it all up. She was determined to get through her 28 days of rehab so that she could get back to her partying ways. Once she entered rehab she wasn't quite interested in participating in any of her therapies or her group projects.

Sigmund Freud created the structural model of personality that describes the id, ego, and superego parts of a person. Id is represented as the devil and based on the pleasure and benefiting themselves. Ego is the angel and devil together, where there is balance of good and bad. Lastly, superego is shown as the angel with good behavior and morals. In Golding’s book Lord of the Flies, he uses Jack, Ralph, and Piggy to represent Sigmund Freud’s theory of the three personalities: id, ego, and superego.

The psychoanalytic perspective is the most interesting theory of the analysis of an individual and their personality. Initially developed by Freud during the latter half of the 1900s, it deals with, among other things, the irrational and less predictable patterns of behaviour and human thinking, which is what most other theories of personality often leave out and are criticised for it. In understanding Johnny Depp, a psychodynamic perspective best accounts for his personality: as a complete theory, it can explain his behaviour from when he was a child to becoming a famous movie star, integrates other theories into its analysis, such as Evolutionary and Learning perspectives, thus providing a fairly reliable and accurate interpretation of his personality.

(DeLamater, 287) This is shown in the movie when at first she is pressured and says she had sex with someone because her friend did and once she got that reputation the guys persuaded her to act like she was being promiscuous and having sexual relations with them. Even though she knew this was wrong she still decided to do it because the majority influence put more pressure on her to go with “having sexual relations” to help some of her friends (who were guys) become more popular. This resulted in cognitive dissonance, which is a theory, that deals with consistency between behaviors and attitudes and it occurs after a decision and when one acts inconsistent with their beliefs. (DeLamater, 153) This is shown when she makes the decision to lie to her friend and say she has had sex and afterwards she has second thoughts and starts to regret it because it went against her values that she held.

In the movie is clear that she likes to be the center of the attention she likes the fact that people admire her and are afraid of her.

Annie displayed many traits and showed many signs that would justify her as having a psychological illness. Throughout the movie, Annie’s character had constant mood swings and outbursts. Her mood would often go from happy and energetic to sad or angry. She started off seemingly friendly and normal. As the movie quickly progressed her friendliness turned to wickedness. In the beginning, the first sign of borderline personality disorder that she displayed was after she convinced Paul to let her read the draft for his new book. She explained that she wasn’t fond of curse words and told Paul that he should take them out. When Paul rejected her suggestion, her persona changed and she became enraged and began screaming, “[A]nd the bank do I tell Mrs. Bollinger, ‘Oh, here's one big bastard of a check, give me some of your Christ-ing money?’ There, look there, see what you made me do,” spilling soup on him (Nicolaides, Reiner, Scheinman, & Stott, 1990). This was an example of her uncontrollable emotions. Alongside uncontrollable emotions, Annie expressed signs of suicide. In one scene she explicitly stated “[N]ow the time has come. I put two bullets in my gun. One for me, and one for you” (Nicolaides et al, 1990). This was in regard to her possibly committing a murder-suicide between she and Paul. Annie went through extreme measures, such as breaking Paul’s ankles and killing the sheriff, to avoid being abandoned by Paul. She also showed signs of dysphoria during the film. For instance, the quote:

In the book Lolita, by Vladimir Nabokov, to psychoanalyze the main character, Humbert Humbert, would take far too long. His craving for the “nymphets” stems from the loss of his very own childhood love, Annabel. At the age of 12, he fell in love with Annabel. However, before the two young children were ever able to become intimate, Annabel died. Humbert alleges that their failure to consummate their relationship is what impelled Humbert to subconsciously have these sexual wants for nymphets. In psychoanalysis, Freud explains that issues that develop during the time of adulthood are stemmed from instances that occurred during childhood. The inability to have sex with Annabel has become a subconscious turmoil for Humbert and as an adult, he is subconsciously trying to fulfill that void. Conferring

From the first scene to the last, she shows her obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. As defined by Rathus, this disorder is categorized by the person’s “inflexibility and fixation on rules,

    Marya Hornbacher has experienced  almost every possible disorder.  By the time she reached her teenage years , she had  already  battled drug addiction, bulimia and anorexia, alcoholism, and cutting. In addition, she would have sporadic mood changes; she would   literally run around hyper and fully charged, impulsively saying things that  she knew didn’t make sense. This was

According to Piaget, egocentrism, or the concept of failing to distinguish others’ symbolic viewpoints from one’s own, is a limitation of preoperational thought. A young child, which in this case is two-and-a-half year-old Lilly, isn’t yet capable of operations, which are defined as mental actions that obey logical rules. Lilly’s thinking at her age is very limited, meaning she can only focus on one aspect of the situation and neglect the others. This is also known as the concept of centration. She focuses on her own viewpoint and, in her mind, assumes that others also have the same perception, thoughts, and feelings as her. Lilly’s egocentric character, at this point in her cognitive development, prevents her to reflect on her surroundings and even consider changing her reasoning and doings. According to her thinking, it’s all about her and what she wants goes. No one else’s thoughts and feelings matter. Two-year-olds actually begin to have a realization that other people’s perceptions differ from theirs, but just like Lilly, even though they may see this, it doesn’t mean they are going to take this into consideration.

Depression can be defined as part of a psychological state of mind that a person might encounter. Most famously recognized psychiatrist Sigmund Freud is known for his Psychodynamic theory. His psychoanalysis theory is known to be successful for treating patients with mental illness. Sylvia Plath, the author of the Bell Jar, makes the main character Esther go through a psychological transformation. Esther’s transformation can be realized through Freud’s psychoanalysis theory as the story unfolds from the beginning to end. The influences of people and events around Esther have affected her transformation.

Many people who suffer from this disorder may have suicidal thoughts, bi-polar disorder and also depression .Upon her arrival at the institution she meets some of the patients who she quickly starts to connect and develop a bond with especially with one of the patients named Lisa who is diagnosed as a sociopath. Psychiatrists and psychologists states that a sociopath is someone with a personality disorder who “displays antisocial tendencies that are ascribed to social or environmental factors.” Other definitions include “A pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of, the rights of others that begins in childhood or early adolescence and continues into adulthood.” (Dr.Axe, 2017). With this being said anyone could suffer from a personality disorder and majority of the time it goes unnoticed because we end up blaming other people for the way we feel or react to certain situations. As the movie goes on we are introduced to another woman named Daisy she suffered from compulsive eating disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder and also self harm.
