Behavioral theory states that people act aggressively because, as children, they modeled their behavior after the violent acts of adults. When they get older, they become antisocial. As a child when they were awarded for doing things, they thought it was good and it became habitual and the behavior that is punished becomes extinguished. A sub branch of behavioral theory is social learning theory. They act violently when people pick on them, threaten them, or they are exposed to direct pain.
(Freud) Aggressive & violent behaviours? (Observational learning: Abusers - foster parents) From the painful & traumatic childhood Will had, perhaps that was his way of:- getting a sense of power (from the powerless situation he was in with the abuses he had) getting attention( from the neglect & lack of attention he had with foster parents?) indirect, non-verbal “call-out” that he had been tremendously hurt & abused low self efficacy? (Albert Bandura) Q3) To include the following factors: Counselling session with the psychologist & hypnotist To elaborate: Failure of the counselling sessions was not only attributed from the therapists but also from Will who had consciously & deliberately put up resistance, barrier & shield from them getting deeper into his
One commonly used assessment tool from the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment is the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). “The Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL/6-18) is one of the most commonly used parent-report questionnaires for assessing emotional and behavioral functioning in youth,” (Jastrowski et al., 2009, p. 606). This checklist is generally used on children and adolescents from ages six to eighteen, and the parent or guardian is the person who is responsible for completing the checklist. The checklist includes items such as the child is withdrawn, sleep problems, anxious/depressed, social problems, thought problems, attention problems, delinquent, aggressive, etc. With the CBCL, the clinician simply scans the results and examines which symptoms seem to be troubling, according to the parent.
Therefore men may be embarrassed or fear that they may not be taken seriously. Kirkwood (1993) argued that domestic violence causes psychological damage which includes low self-esteem, depression, anxiety and stress. Domestic violence against women by men is caused by the misuse of power and control within a male privilege. Male privilege tends to focus on an individual (mainly the wife) and maintains to keep the dominance of the female and the power of their children. Perpetrators of domestic violence choose to behave abusively to get what they want and gain control.
He also fears what will happen if his father continues to burn down barns. This prevent Sarty from having the foresight to see what he needs to do in order to be content within himself. Fear is a powerful emotion that we must overcome in order to have the foresight to see what has to be done to live a happy, content life. People have the tendency to want to be loyal to family, but when a family member is doing something “wrong,” great internal conflict and fear can arise. Sarty wants to be loyal to his father but knows that the truth must be told.
People with antisocial disorder will act instead of feel; they find it difficult to talk about their personal emotional experiences. The feelings of helpless and a scared victim during childhood stage makes them want to scare and victimize others when they grow up (Hansel & Damour, 2008). Furthermore, the psychodynamic aspect also delves into analyzing early childhood attachments of individuals with antisocial personality disorder. Gabbard (2000) stated that “normal parent-child attachment paves the way for the internalization of a morally guiding superego and the ability to empathize with others. People with antisocial personality disorder show abnormal superego functioning and a lack of empathic ability to imagine how others feel, presumably due to disrupted parent-child relationships” (Hansel & Damour, 2008, p.
They suggest that a happy person tends to pay less attention to details and information for fear that over-analysing the information may affect their happy state (Ottati and Isbell, 68). However, a sad person tends to deeply analyse information in the hope of enhancing or repairing their unhappy situation (Ibid.). Another important point made by the two authors is that people interpret their negative feelings as results of defects in their environment (Ibid. ), which then motivates them to scrutinize everything around them. The population’s state of fear is an example of a negative mood which then leads to the population believing that there’s a defect in their environment.
If they dealt with being isolated by other boys because they didn’t feel comfortable around you. If they dealt with being jumped. And being called a faggot. And wanting to commit suicide. Maybe they would understand how strong we really are.
Self-harm would make the service providers very mistrustful as the pain imposed on them by themselves is showing as the pain they are facing at some other point with someone else. They sequence of abuse may continue, it is more likely for someone that has been abuse to be an abuser once they grow older so a back ground check on parents and people living in the family home would need to be done to make sure that it is safe and secure for the individual
From the fear that parents have on their children about being in the right crowd, and making sure that they are kept safe from abductors, to the constant fear of a terrorist attack taking place on US soil, to imprisoning innocent Japanese-America citizens just because of their ethnicity. We have seen one constant the whole time, and that is one group of people suffering from real problems and issues while the media blown up stories, and fear driven messages are getting all the attention. This is because people have a tendency to pay more attention to the problems that are “advertised” The media and government know this, and use it to their advantage. It’s ironic that the very man who gave this quote about fear is an example himself to the world, that the only fear, is truly the fear of the
