This story has a Romeo and Juliet contrast, but nevertheless also brings out many psychological concepts that play an important role in the story.

I believe family is such an important part in this family’s life because they are all that each other has got. They hold close to their family because they have been through so much and they see death all around them, so they see the importance of their family. They also are taught from a very young age to respect their elders in the family because they have seen much more and know much more about all aspects of life. They are viewed as wise and knowledgeable and the young family members cherish the opportunity to learn from them. In the movie Gran Torino one

In the film, the younger brother Arnie is mentally disabled. He is unaware of his actions most of the time, and has mixed feelings. His older brother Gilbert is not embarrased of his brothers disability. Gilbert is often a good brother. He supports him, and tries to teach him rights from wrongs without being harsh. Gilbert is like the father Arnie never had. He takes him everywhere he goes, he feeds him, showers him, and more. Gilbert had

The Grape family lives in Pandora, Iowa. Gilbert is a Caucasian male, age 24. The presenting problem is grief and trauma due to his father committing suicide. His mom Bonnie was especially affected by the death of Gilbert’s father and due to this has become agoraphobic (7yrs). She has developed a food addiction, with clinical depression. With Bonnie’s clinical depression it has led her to withdraw from the family, creating a risk factor of instability in the family. This has created new social norms, rules and dynamics (unstable functioning level 1) (Vanhook, 2014). Level 1 being basic family functions, level 4 being leadership, flexibility and boundaries (Vanhook, 2014). This is displayed towards the bottom of the paper as seen in appendix one (Vanhook, 2014). Due to Arthur’s suicide there has been family dysfunction and conflict, with Gilbert and others having the perceptions that the family is “stuck in time.” Gilbert has a younger brother named Arnie who has autism and congenital heart defects. Gilbert has two younger sisters Amy (youngest) and Ellen. Amy is in high school getting ready to leave for college and Ellen is getting ready to go away for culinary training.

In the novel, What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, by Peter Hedges, Gilbert Grape, the protagonist, is twenty-four years old, living in the small town of Endora Iowa with his family. Throughout the book Gilbert is involved in two relationships that are different in many aspects. The first relationship is with Mrs. Carver, a married woman with two children. Gilbert’s relationship with Mrs. Carver has been ongoing for seven years. The relationship is based solely on sexual activity and is a toxic relationship for Gilbert. Gilbert’s second relationship is with Becky, an intriguing fifteen year old girl who is staying in Endora with her grandmother. Gilbert and Becky pursue an interesting relationship with one another but seem to have different objectives.

When a family is put in tough situations, it is natural to want to escape from it all. As a man surrounded by things that seem beyond his control, the main character of the film, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, shows the psychological emotional detachment that can occur when the realization of such an escape is impossible. Gilbert Grape is a man often thinking carefully about his situation and making an effort to filter his feelings. His family life is depressing, and his emotional response to his living arrangement is an overall rejection of everything around him. Gilbert often shows contempt for his family by having cynical thoughts of them whenever he speaks inwardly about them in his mind. Gilbert appears to be on autopilot through life, only speaking enough to keep things peaceful with friends and the people of Endora. Gilbert has a general lack of interest in most relationships outside of his family, and often turns a blind eye towards the town of Endora as a whole. His severance extends even to himself, as he is not emotionally honest with himself. As the film progresses, Gilbert's emotional state begins to readjust as he comes back into contact with his feelings. The emotional detachment is extreme for Gilbert, and Johnny Depp does an excellent job at depicting the psychological effects of a broken home and the difficulty one faces in overcoming it.

The life stages for an individual changes as a person grows older and has various experiences in life. There is a change in the physical, intellectual, social, and emotional growth as an individual age. “The process of development is linked to internal conflicts, changing self-awareness, and a dynamic social environment” (Newman & Newman, 2012).

In biopsychosocialspirtual development there are several things to take into consideration, in Brandon’s case, his life was in jeopardy due to all of his disparities.

Brandon was subjected and exposed to his mother addiction which could have left him feeling abandoned by her, as she had to leave him with his father who was abusive, so that she could get treatment. Next his psychological factors which seemed to be impacted greatly by his negative disposition due to both of his parent’s ill treatment.

As I started this project, I had no clue what I would end up finding. I decided I would interview my little cousin, Chloe, who is thirteen, my aunt, Tammy, who is forty-four, and then my other aunt Melanie, who is thirty-seven. All of them being related I knew there would be some similarities. I asked all three of them the same ten questions and then choose a few questions on each of them to determine their level of psychosocial development.

The bonds between family can be both social and biological, but can also vary in conformity and conversation styles. As we will see with my example, family perceptions of us influence our self-concepts heavily and shape our identity. Each family has their own set of humor, important moments, rituals or practices, and secrets. In McFarland, USA, we see a dramatic difference between the familial relationships of Jim White’s family at the beginning of the movie and the Diaz's family. This is shown during dinner scene when White visits the Diaz’s family house.
