The Death Of A Old White Male Maths Degree Student 's Relationship With Girlfriend Breaking Down

The point of view of which Freud interprets and examines the manifest of dreams content to obtain their latent meaning is of a professional psychologist and clinical observer who looked for a way to explain how our minds work and how the individual psychology functions. He based his work on clinical experiences and clinical neurosis of the matter of his own interpretations to be able to confirm his theories as a proven fact. The result Freud gets from the patients he observes and interpretation of their dreams are stereotyped to the complete human condition.

His rebellious side may be the worst part of his problem. He doesn't care about school friends his future, nothing. He never really looks into his future. He runs away from school and lives off of a couple of buck and blows it on boo’s. He tell the doctor how he doesn't know if he's going to apply himself when he gets out of the hospital still being immature. He doesn't try and rejects the help that his parents are giving him through the hospital by not taking it serious. He does seem hopeful about getting out even though he doesn't know exactly when that is

This clearly shows that mainly all our bad experiences are pushed into the unconscious mind causing it to come back many years later this could be through; post-traumatic stress disorder, this means that all your terrors and fears come back through either night terrors or flashbacks. Psychoanalysis deals with early negative emotions this could be by discovering triggers and talking openly about these bad experiences.

Having knowledge and understanding of psychological perspectives allows me to understand John’s needs, and current behaviours and how they may be related to past events and needs unmet.

John. Through his referral we have discovered that Ernest has many mood changes and anger issues that are unresolved resulting in resentment from his father’s suicide and his mother dressing him as a girl. Martha, Ernest wife, describes him as very violent tendencies, along with not sleeping or eating. He also has expressed thoughts that he will commit suicide like his father and two of his siblings. His thoughts are unstable and have many mood changes from happy to sad to angry with no reason. He was very angry with the reasons why I was asking his wife her experience with her husband. He showed that he could have violent behaviors through his yelling and expressed feelings of

Factors of the medical module such as age, external and internal influences and home life may have explained why those things are affecting John’s behavioral problems. Between the massive change in behavior, school and social skills, it is clear that the physical abuse John endured has had a significant impact on his life. John may have been labeled a “deviant” in society because his condition is not widely understood by everyone. Just as there are many people that don’t empathize with certain physical disabilities, there are just as much if not more that don’t understand the weight of a mental disability or disorder. The quick and easy way to dismiss the lack of knowledge is to confine John into the “deviant” category. If John was constantly being reminded of his academic challenges by being labeled as a deviant that may prevent him for striving beyond his given “label”.

Experiments performed by notable psychologists, Sigmund Freud and Elizabeth Loftus, perfectly complement Stacks’ initial anecdotes in which he took on memories that were not exactly his own, but rather described to him in a vivid manner, thus allowing him to feel as if he was actually there and unconsciously store them in his brain as such. In Freud’s case, some of his of patients who believed the were sexually abused as a child had “little evidence or plausibility” to support their claims (Stacks 8). Freud came to the conclusion that some of the patients’ claims were “distorted by fantasy” and/or were “total fabulations, constructed unconsciously, but so convincingly that the patients believed in them absolutely,”(Stacks 8) similar to Stacks wholeheartedly believing that he experienced a bombing incident during his childhood, which was in fact a memory transferred from a letter from his brother. Elizabeth Loftus, who is also a memory researcher, performed an experiment in which she “implant[ed] false memories by simply suggesting to a subject that he has experienced a fictitious event,” by the end of the experiment the subjects insisted that false memory happened, although they were told otherwise by the experimenter (Stacks 9). Such experiments show that without another party (in Sacks case, his older brother), it is difficult to distinguish between “a genuine memory or inspiration” as they are “virtually identical” (Stacks

To Erdelyi, the key point to observe is that cognition is a constructive feat, wherein small bits of information are committed from and elaborated upon in order to form our subjective reality. This process allows us to make sense of our experiences, intellectually and emotionally, by adding to and subtracting from the objective framework (Erdelyi, 2006). From the defensive strategy described by Freud, to the process of forgetting due to thoughtful avoidance proposed by Ebbinghaus, to the clinical accounts increasingly reported by experienced psychotherapists, Erdelyi surveys the arguments in defense of recovered memories and obtains a fairly comprehensive theory. Although I find Erdelyi’s definition of repression, which includes the conscious suppression of unpleasant memories, too broad, his theory incorporating scientific explanations and clinical evidence will provide a useful structure for this

     Sigmund Freud, an early Austrian psychologist, is famous for his fundamental contributions to research in psychology. The greatest contribution of Sigmund Freud is considered to be the so called psychoanalysis. This method of research was based on case studies through recording and study of the mental problems of his patients. After having thoroughly studied hundreds of such cases, Sigmund Freud arrived to a conclusion, that many of the psychological problems of adults are triggered by some unpleasant events, that occurred during their childhood or youth. Such violent acts as rape, physical abuse, or verbal offences, when encountered by an adolescent, may irreparably damage his or her further

For Freud, it’s important to understand that Infant and waking life were full of emotions, drives, wishes, traumas, aggression, sex, and experiences that our mind could not consciously handle and that loaded psychic material could not regularly be repressed or barried in the unconscious. He once quoted, “There is, in fact, no better analogy for repression, by which something in the mind is at once made inaccessible and preserved than burial of the sort to which Pompeii fell a victim and from which it could emerge once more through the work of spades” –Freud The Problem is that during the night there is less automatic repression. These latent dream-thoughts would bubble up. If unchaste, these infantile drives, wishes, and traumas would be experienced

Some of the existing theories of love believed that child form earliest attachement with the mother to obtain food, comfort, relieve thirst and avoid pain. But Harlow believe that this behavioral perspective of mother-child attachments was an unsatisfactory explanation.

It is inevitable for people to love because it is a condition of our incompleteness. We can love objects, others, and ourselves. Different human needs prompt different acts of love (Stumpf, pp66). Some of these needs are positive regard, unconditional positive regard, and positive self-regard. Positive regard is given to infants and children from the primary care-giver. Unconditional positive regard occurs when approval is granted regardless of a person’s behavior (Schultz & Schultz, pp330). From these needs, stems the reciprocal idea of positive regard. Objects are able to give a limited amount of satisfaction. However, the deep need for human companionship is only met with relationship. Inanimate objects cannot substitute for a human being. The spiritual need should prompt our love of God (Stumpf, pp67). People are made to love God, and God is infinite. Only God can satisfy the precise need for the infinite. Love of these things brings an

Freud viewed the unconscious mind as the primary source of human behavior. Freud saw the conscious mind as only the “tip of the iceberg” of the mind, because people are not always conscious of every decision they decide to make. For example, you may consciously think ‘I’m thirsty.’ and drink water, but according to Freud, that only scratches the surface of the decisions we make. According to Freud, the unconscious mind contains “significant” and “disturbing” thoughts and experiences that we need to keep out of the conscious mind. Traumatic events would be one such example of a thought that needed to be kept out of the conscious mind, and therefore was

Sigmund Freud, in some of his first works noticed that during the first infancy years, humans are not capable to maintain most memories. This characteristic is commonly named as “Infantile amnesia”. His explanation, very accordingly to his theories, was that a subconscious mechanism was responsible to repress most infancy remembrances to avoid painful, traumatic and highly sexual events (Freud and Brill). However, Freud did not consider that other animals also present Infantile Amnesia and it is rather difficult to consider that rats or hamsters have a subconscious mechanism to repress traumatic infancy events (Campbell and Jaynes). The presence of infantile amnesia in several species can only mean that this phenomenon has deep roots in the brain development and it has its origins in an evolutionary

Loftus (1993a, 1993b, 1995) stated in many studies that memories are often reconstructed and that the therapist aids in the construction process through such avenues as dream interpretation and hypnosis. The question of whether dreams are a reliable source of information has been refuted by most in the field; yet, patients continue to reconstruct memories with the aid of therapists. The modern scientific phenomenon has its roots in Freud's original psychoanalytic
