In his daze, he burnt his manuscript, occasionally working up the resolve to aid the police but then hesitating; maybe he was scared of seeing Yolonda and going through his nightmare again. But, after losing
The transference of one addiction (like alcoholism) to another addiction (such as drug addiction) is known as addiction transfer in the discipline of psychology. Generally, the new addiction develops months to years after recovering from the initial addiction. Another struggle in addiction is an addict’s cross addiction (or addiction to more than one drug; generally in the same drug class). Psychologists coined the phrase “addiction transfer” due to the observation of drug addicts and/or alcoholics recovering from one addiction to another compulsive behavior (Vivo, 2012). This behavior is attributed to a void still afflicting an addict going through the recovery process.
A Critical analysis of ‘A Clockwork Orange’ (Pages 78-79) From this passage from chapter four of ‘A Clockwork Orange’ by Anthony Burgess, the reader understands that the "vitamins" Alex believes he has received have something to do with his intensely bad reaction to the films. It appears that the doctors are conditioning or what I thought was brainwashing Alex to associate violence and criminality with dissatisfaction. Alex's free will to watch the films at the beginning is quickly undermined and, by the end of the chapter, he has no free will over either his reactions or the doctors' actions and therefore suffers the undeniable consequences of the video clips. I think that the choice of a war torture film and other such violent clips is not subsidiary; the doctors are sadistic torturers themselves, revealing in their aggressive examination on naive Alex. Their sarcastic remarks to the powerless victim are evocative of the sarcasm Alex and his gang used on the victims that they beat and sometimes raped.
Genetics can help explain addiction, the genetic explanation of addiction focuses on the fact that an individual may have gene which makes them more susceptible to pursue addictive behaviours e.g. drug taking. The A1 variant of the DRD2 gene has been linked with the initiation addiction. People with the A1 variant are said to have few dopamine receptors as a result Noble refers to the gene as the "reward gene", this is because dopamine is a neurotransmitter which we associate with reward and pleasure. Alcohol/drugs can increase the level of dopamine (this compensates for the lack of dopamine receptors in individuals with A1 variant of the DRD2 gene).
Alex was initially chosen and soon learned that this “therapy” was more like torture and he was forced to watch countless hours of gruesome crimes, some that he committed himself. After finishing, Alex found himself feeling physically sick at the thought of any violence whatsoever. Initially in the end Alex’s bad deeds catch up with him and he ends up in the hospital. Unfortunately due to the beatings he received and attempted suicide all the mind tricks he was under were completely gone and he remained the same kid as he was at the beginning of the novel. This book was published in 1962 by Anthony Burgess.
Heroin use was________ This occurred due to the soldiers being placed in a very harsh and stressful environment such like the rats in the solitary cage. When the war was over and the soldiers were due to come home, there was panic because people thought that there would be a massive influx of heroin addicts but instead when the soldiers transitioned from the “solitary cage” to “Rat Park” (Their comforting and happy environment) somewhat 95% of the soldiers addicted to heroin suddenly dropped their addiction with little to no
Even later on in the movie, we also see that Will is a chain smoker, violent, and has extreme trust issues. He doesn’t have any friends besides the ones he knows are loyal, and he pushes others away before they have a chance to leave him first. After a good amount of therapy sessions with a psychiatrist and friend, Sean Macdonald, by the end of the movie Will’s problem seem to be a lot more under-control than they were before. Will’s problems could have been evaluated in multiple different psychological ways, including psychoanalytic, behavioral, cognitive, humanistic, and biopsychosocial. Psychoanalytic psychology would be the best explanation for Will and his actions / words.
Addictive disorders like drug abuse are the most widespread and intransigent mental health problems facing us today. Many problems of alcohol use involve difficulties that stem solely from the intoxicating effects of the substances. Dependence occurs when an individual develops a tolerance for the substance or exhibits withdrawal symptoms when it is not available. Drug abuse disorders may involve physiological dependence on substances, such as opiates- particularly heroin-or barbiturates; however psychological dependence may also occur with any of the drugs that are commonly used today-for e.g. marijuana.
Amir was in the corner of the alley, not having enough courage to stand up for his friend that is soon brutally abused. From then on, he lived with his guilt for many years. His shame is complicated by his own realization that he partly doesn’t help his friend, precisely because he is jealous of him, as well as being a coward. Soon his own shame drives him nearly crazy and in desire to end his pain, he sets Hassan and his father up for a shame so great they have to leave the home, which will seemingly free Amir of his
Hamlet is often hesitant to do things, for example where he had the chance to kill Claudius in the chapel but couldn’t bring himself to do it, not because he would be killing another human but because he wanted Claudius to suffer and not go straight to Heaven. Although a case could be made that Hamlet’s actions are not moral or good, they are certainly not deranged or mad. There is only one moment where Hamlet acts rashly, motivated purely by anger and vengeance, and that is when he kills Claudius. On the other hand, Hamlet does appear to be deeply emotionally
