Years Ago, If A Person Displayed Strange Ways Of Doing

Within this model the counselor can employ a wide range of techniques to achieve the behavioural objectives agreed, these include - challenging irrational beliefs, rehearsing different self statements, experimentation of self statements in real situations and systematic desensitization (Mcleod 2008). Behavioural therapist work on changing behaviour and it’s assumed that changes in feeling and thinking will follow.

The id, the ego, and the superego are parts of the mind that work together to create behavior and personality. There is always an ongoing conflict between the id and the superego that the ego has to negotiate. The id is the “child” part of one’s personality. This is the little voice that says “I want it now.” When people do things on impulse or think only about receiving satisfaction, the id is in control. The egos function in the mind is reasoning and can be considered the “adult” part of the brain. The superego is the “moral” part of the mind that strives for perfection and enforces parental and societal rules. All three parts of personality, id, ego and superego, need to be well-balanced to have good mental health.

The human psyche is an incredibly complex system. It controls us in every aspect of our lives, rewarding us for a job well done while also making us feel guilty for each mistake we make. Our psyche is influenced by the world in which we live, by our immediate family and friends and also by those who we will meet during our lives. Each and every stage of life will result in us experiencing more, and in doing so, those experiences will shape who we will become. Our psyche is made up of three very important parts: the id, the ego, and the superego. The id is the primitive and instinctive component of personality. It consists of all the biological components of personality, including the life instinct and the death instinct. The id is the only part of our psyche which is present from birth. It is concerned only with the immediate satisfaction of our needs and has no respect for the consequences or impact on other people. The ego is the part which attempts to reconcile our id’s irrational tendencies with the realities of the world. The ego is tasked with working out realistic ways of satisfying the id’s demands, often postponing satisfaction to avoid negative consequences of society. The superego 's function is to control the id 's impulses, especially those which society forbids and to reward us when we do good (ideal

Another method used in psychoanalysis is free association. Free Association or the Talking Cure is based on the psychodynamic model of abnormality. Psychotherapy places great significance on childhood experiences, such as the psychosexual stages, and on repressed impulses and unresolved conflicts in the unconscious. The aim of psychotherapy is to bring

The superego is a projection of the ego. It is the moral censoring agency; the part that makes moral judgments and the repository of conscience and pride. It brings reason, order and social acceptability to the otherwise uncontrolled and potentially harmful realm of biological impulses (Guerin 128-31).

The id is the unconscious part of our mind that "contains our secret desires, darkest wishes, (and) intense fears" ("Psychoanalytic Criticism" 2). The id is entirely irrational and serves only to fulfill urges and wishes that the person most desires. The superego is also unconscious and is driven by the morality principal. It "represents the demands of morality and of society" (Mullahay 39). The superego urges us to do what will be accepted by our peers and by society. It can be compared to our conscious in the sense that it drives us to do what is right so that we won’t feel guilt or remorse. The third part to the trio is the ego, which is based solely on logic and rationality, and is part of the conscious mind. The ego "represents reason and sanity" and makes sensible and logical decisions even though these decisions may not fulfill all of our desires (Mullahay 36). "The ego (can be called) the battleground for forces of the superego and id" in that it "regulates (the) id and comes to terms with (the) superego" ("Psychoanalytic Criticism" 2).

Superego: This is that part of our psyche that determines how we think we should react in a given situation. This is the development of morals, what is right and what is wrong. It is a further development of control over the id response.

This approach can not correct the patient's behavior in general, but to mitigate some of the individual issues under the force of it. Psychosocial treatment with the use of emotional approach is to apply the therapy memories, "simulation of presence", sensory integration, validation therapy, supportive therapy. Therapy memories is to discuss them with patients experienced an event on an individual or group sessions with a therapist. Presence simulation is listening to a patient player with recorded voices of his relatives. Reduced cognitive deficits produced as a result of cognitive therapy. To the patient oriented in reality, it provides information about the current year, month, day, week, time. By stimulating methods include music therapy,

The Superego is representative of our conscience and is opposite of the id. “Superego” comes from Latin and really means “above the ego”. It is the greatest power of our mind. The superego is what most people would call the conscience or where a god would be. The Superego is a basis for how we view the world, social norms, and morals. Also, as the Superego portrays the conscience, it holds our sense of wrong and right. We have to follow the needs of the Superego or else we might feel some guilt or shame.

The field of abnormal psychology tuned out to be a scientific discipline in the last century but the introduction of the abnormal behaviour started as early in the Biblical history (Damour and Hansell, 2008). The initial explanation of the mental illness was a spiritual approach built on an assumption that the meta-physical spirit world can affect the real observable world. This assumption and belief on psychotherapy initiated the practice of boring holes in the skull of a person in order to take out the evil spirit. This medical process of actually performed in 3000 B.C in Bolivia, Peru and also in the pre-Hispanic Azrtec and Incan Civilizations (Shieff, Smith &

Abnormal behavior, a term that is often thrown around without having the proper knowledge of the actual definition. Abnormal behavior goes way beyond just acting or behaving differently than what one might consider your “average Joe”. Abnormal behavior is behavior that interferes with everyday living when one cannot function with everyday tasks only then the behavior can be considered abnormal. Depression is an abnormal behavior being that it affects Persistent Depressive Disorder also known as PDD or it’s late name of Dysthymia is a chronic type state of depression in which a person’s mood is regularly low but does not hold symptoms as severe as major depression. The symptoms generally last in adult for about 2 years while in children and

The Superego’s purpose is to act and improve the behaviours of individuals. It operates to suppress all inappropriate urges which comes from the id and struggles to make the ego act upon the idealistic standards rather than upon realistic principles. The Superego is present in the conscious, preconscious and unconscious.

For many years scientists, including doctors, psychologists, and psychiatrists, have been interested in trying to understand human behaviour, in particular behaviour that is described as being ‘abnormal’. It is difficult to define ‘abnormal’ in terms of behaviour because there are many differing descriptions which have radically changed over the years. ‘Abnormal’ behaviour is widely categorised as being persistent and in a serious degree contrary to the continued wellbeing of the individual and/or the surrounding community. Cultural beliefs and expectations determine which behaviour patterns are deemed as being ‘abnormal’.

A Freudian Therapist will use the therapeutic technique of Free Association for Hank’s therapy. Psychoanalysis assumes that people are often conflicted between their need to learn about themselves, and their (conscious or unconscious) fears of and defenses against change and self-exposure. Hank’s will be allowed to talk about anything he wishes but this will lead him to talk about the things which matter to him the most. This will instigate a journey of co-discovery which can enhance Hank’s integration of thought, feeling, and selfhood.

The id level of basic human personality holds forbidden and hedonistic thoughts and desires. The superego is a level within our personality, according to Freud that is present within us from within the first five years of life.  The superego is on the absolute opposite end of the spectrum from the id.  The superego holds the personality’s morals and conscience, keeping the individual from conducting any immoral act.  It provides us with feelings of guilt and pride, keeping us continually wanting to maintain a high level of morality.  However, the superego is unrealistic without balance.  It is highly critical and ethical and is derived from parental morals during the informative years of learning between right and wrong.  (Mitchell, 2016)
