Historical Perspectives of Abnormal Psychology PSY 410 September 28, 2011 Abstract “The blunt realities of mental illness shatter our most deeply held convictions about the nature of human consciousness and behavior. The mentally ill are more different than us than we can imagine and more like us than we care to admit.” (Valentine, 2011) This quote paints a poignant and provocative picture of Abnormal Psychology. Its eloquent phrasing leads us to look at the concept of abnormality through multifaceted lenses exposing the fine line that defines normal and abnormal. In the fairly young science of Abnormal psychology we are asked to consider thoughts, feelings, and behaviors as viable ways to determine the mental wellness of an individual. It is through the understanding of the past that we may move forward into the future.
aBNOR Abnormal Psychology University of Phoenix PSY/410 January 31,2010 Abnormal Psychology 1 Abnormal Psychology People have always suffered from abnormal personalities, though they weren’t always understood as such. Most people thought them to be the work of demons, ghosts or evil spirits. The traces of abnormality were removed by use of trepanation. Trepanation is a procedure in which the physician makes a hole in the skull by way of drilling, and this is said to increase the functionality of the brain which in turn is supposed to increase over all well being. This method was used to treat the mental illnesses as well as seizures, and anything thought to be caused by the brain being unbalanced.
Hypnotism and Brainwashing Scooby Doo, Tom & Jerry, Sleeping Beauty, and The Matrix: all of these have one idea in common. A couple show very real effects of brainwashing and hypnotism on the human mind, while the others take the two subjects very lightly, and explore them as a comedic journey. However, brainwashing and hypnotism are two very different practices, and once understood, it is difficult to mix them up. In this day and age, people mix up brainwashing and hypnotism without giving the two subjects a second thought. Hypnotism, when used as entertainment, has a sole purpose of comedy and fun.
There are three main symptoms of schizophrenia, delusions, hallucinations, and thought disorder. Delusions are false beliefs in which the person cannot change, such as believing they are a fictional character, or icon. Hallucinations are usually voices, sights, or visions that only the patient can hear, see, or even smell. These voices can make demands by ordering their victim to do things, or sometimes giving warnings. When a patient has a thought disorder, this usually means he or she has difficulty organizing thoughts.
This essay will argue that Huttmann made a wise decision and did not commit a crime. She made a very difficult decision to free Mac of his misery and live with a peaceful conscience. During the 80's euthanasia was not a common procedure for hospitals. There are patients like Mac who are very ill and transformed from a strong, young person in to a skeleton trapped in a hospital bed. When people are very sick and have to lay in bed for months without showing a bit of progress, as in the majority of the cancer cases, they are in agony.“The Doctor believed that life must be extended as long they have the means and knowledge to do it” (Huttmann 114).
The positive symptoms are the symptoms that are which a person is delusions and they will believe things that are not true and began believing that they are something that they are not. They tend to hear or see things that are not there, this is another positive form of schizophrenia which is called hallucinations.

This name however is not ideal as it makes people think that they will be asleep whilst they are hypnotised. He tried to re name hypnosis to monoeidism, but he failed as the name had already stuck. The next advances in the history of hypnosis came from Liebeault, a French doctor. He provided treatments for the poor, for free, and cured a patient with sciatica, who was a patient of another doctor, Bernheim, who had been treating the patient for six months with traditional medical practice with no improvement. Upon meeting his rival Bernheim found Liebeault to be a genius and decided to work with him.
As a banker he had no time to do what he wanted or have a social life, he was getting up at 5:30am and getting to bed around 10 every night, he claimed, “Everyone thinks its glamorous, but it’s not that glamorous.” His girlfriend wanted a camera for her birthday, so he got her one, but shortly after they broke up and he was left with the camera; he started playing around with it, and realized how much fun it was. Eventually, he quit his job as a banker and left the country within 24 hours to go photograph an event. He states, “I just felt I needed to be there and witness what was going on.” Upon return from the trip, he enrolled in a photojournalism course at the nearby college and ultimately won an award for best young photojournalist by photographing the civil war in Sierra Leone.

He gave up his very successful banking job to become a photojournalist and deal with less than half salary as he used to get.
