Technically, Mickey’s attacks are not spouse abuse, but straightforward assault and battery. The deliberation of rape, another obvious situation in the case, is never addressed. When Francine seeks help from various social agencies, they let her down, advising her to get a lawyer. For some reason, she is unable or unwilling to take this step, and she even shows a reserve at first to deal with her own court-appointed attorney. Her fears are that the law might turn against her, declare her an unfit mother, or otherwise destroy her
Dorothea L. Dix PSY 310 December 19th, 2010 Dorothea L. Dix Dorothea L. Dix was a woman of many splendors. She was not one who wanted credit for her accomplishments for she acted simply in a matter that would best help people. She was driven by the purest desire to help individuals obtain a better life. “There are few cases in history where a social movement of such proportions can be attributed to the work of a single individual” (Gardner & Kovach, 1972). Dorothea accomplished extreme reform for the treatment of the mentally ill.
Two other females that had nicknames are known as a sexual need in the film because McMurphy invited them over to seduce the guard and Billy. First, women are inferior to men because they were never given a position of power. During the 1960s, woman did not have any experience with power because they still lived in a society where men are taking control. In quote, “These gender roles have been used very successfully to justify inequities, which still occur today, such as excluding women from equal access to leadership and decision – making positions” (Tyson, page 85). Males still see females as patriarchal women, not as leaders or decision makers.
In comparison Fay Weldon’s Letters to Alice, written a few centuries after, shows a clear link of how particular concerns, held by society, have altered. A women living in the late 1800’s had very few rights and freedoms. Education was a thing men and if a women engaged in such activities she was at risk of being shunned by society or “left on the shelf.” Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice follows a young girl, Elizabeth Bennet, who struggles against society’s expectations. Being a smart and well educated women, she is somewhat frowned upon, however this has been disguised by Austen through her dialogue. An example is seen near the beginning of the book in which Mr Darcey and Mr Binley’s brother are engaged in polite conversation.
Freud’s theory was biased toward women because of the period in which it was developed. Conversely, Horney’s theory mainly concentrated on neurotic individuals, which permitted boundaries for her theory by not including a great deal from a healthy person. Yet both theories see eye to eye in particular viewpoints such as the significance of one’s childhood and the unconscious mind being a major influence. There is not and almost certainly will never be any one theory that will be able to clarify personality entirely. Each perspectives allows one to gain a different understanding towards their own
However psychoanalysis is rarely used on its own in the treatment of mental disorders, only useful when combined with drug treatment in which the patient’s disorder is under control, therefore suggesting other factors than the unconscious mental processes must be involved showing that it is not a complete approach. The treatment has also been criticised for being lengthy, intensive and expensive so it is only successful with patients who are highly motivated to solve their problems, verbalise their feelings and also have the time and money to undergo it. Another assumption by Freud is that the personality is dynamic and tripartite; it is made
As the book progresses further, we soon learn more and more why Irene’s feelings of resentment towards Clare are justifiable. Growing up, Clare had “never been exactly one of the group” (Larsen 20) and always wanted more out of life. Her desires and light skin eventually landed her in the “other world,” passing off as white. Irene finds especially shocking how Clare could just drop her entire heritage like a brick and live with someone who considers African-Americans “black scrimy devils” (Larsen 40). Here we see the first signs of racial and sexual tension that exists between the two women.
The management of the therapist’s counter transference, through the containment of the group’s projections, is related to positive therapeutic outcome. Self-awareness and self-care are crucial in counter transference management. Regular consultation with a co-therapist or supervisor/consultant can also be very useful. (Association, 2007) I have found it very difficult to research the effectiveness of a non personalised induction in hypnotherapy as all the evidence shows that personalised inductions are far more effective, the only time that it would be difficult to produce a personalised script is if you were to hold a group session or produce a CD or video to focus on a certain situation such as to stop smoking, fear of spiders etc. Personalised inductions are more effective as they treat each person as an individual, in order to do this you need to assess the client, it is important that you have to try to find the most effective way to communicate with your client so that they get the most benefit from the session, in order to do this you need to take into account the clients modalities, explained below.
The gambling assessment had very low scores for me because ive never really gambled before so my results were very accurate. The questions were created well in order to try and find out if people have an issue with gambling. Not being a gambler myself I do know people who have had a problem with it and ive seen how it can affect peoples life in a very negative way and know that it is important to get help when dealing with this kind of addiction. The shopping assesment reveled that I am at the borderline of having a shopping problem. I however disagree because I know how to manage my money and spend wisely and know I do not have a problem in this area.
It is through this research that scientists have recognized the differences in brains of people with bipolar and those with healthy brains who are not exhibiting signs of the illness. It is these differences in brain function that are assisting scientists in developing insight into the underlying causes of the disorder to gain insight into which treatments will be most effective in treating each type of the disorder. (Soares, 1997) Despite the extensive research, Bipolar Disorder remains one of the most difficult disorders to diagnose and
