This was suggested by Freud. This approach suggests that phobias are learnt through repression and displacement. Repression is a defence mechanism where thoughts that provoke distress are pushed into the unconscious mind so that they don’t have to be dealt with in the conscious mind. Displacement is another defence mechanism when emotions are diverted onto something else away from the thing that caused the anxiety. The theory is mainly based on Freud’s Little Hans study.
Cognitive behavioral therapy is a way to monitor any behaviors that may eventually lead the adolescent to commit suicide. In cognitive behavioral therapy, the person is made aware of how his or her actions towards certain thoughts and feelings can lead to unhealthy moods. It focuses on fixing the person’s thoughts and feelings in order to help treat depression. According to editors and writers for the periodical Drug Week, “[c]ognitive behavioral therapy, a form of psychotherapy, was found to be effective if combined with fluoxetine use” (2005). A study was conducted by Dr. Graham Emslie, a professor at UT Southwestern, within the last decade that included 334 teenagers, all of whom suffered from major depression.
Causal analysis and the detail it provides produce strong historical relationship between dislocation and addiction, especially in England in the 1500s. The authors emphasize drug addiction as the dependent variable, arising from the dislocation in the society itself. People tend to establish substitute lifestyles, often referring to drug use to compensate for their inability to participate in the community. Alexander and Shaler pinpoint the beginning of dislocation in England and Canada, when those who rebelled against the law would be “confine[d] in ‘houses of correction'" (230) and would face punishment; natives were not addicts until “assimilation subjected them to extreme dislocation” (231). Alexander and Shaler conclude addiction is a “political and spiritual problem” (231) that needs to be fixed with integration.
For example an aggressive person in a prison will deal with situations in there with aggressive social mechanisms. Irwin and cressey (62) cited the example of prisons stating that an inmate will bring his own aggressive traits in as a coping mechanism. Harer and Steffenmeister support the importation model with research, observing a correlation between race habit on the outside compared with the inside of prison institutions, relating violence to blacks and drug behaviour to whites. This however can be criticised for being reductionist, as not all blacks are aggressive and not all whites are drug users, just as both races can partake in both behaviours. The findings appear to determine no new findings, they are simply correlational.
A psychopath is defined as a person with no human emotions, the definition is very black and white but I want to know what actions, thoughts, and qualities make up a psychopath. The Psychopath Test by Jon Ronson is a written diligent inquiry of Ronson’s proposal that many important and influential public figures are, in fact, psychopaths. This novel introduces the twenty-point Hare PCL-R Checklist, designed to classify people as psychopaths by their scoring on this checklist. It sounds pretty simple but in this book it teaches you to look further “It was all to do with reading between the lines of a person’s turn of phrase, a person’s sentence structure” (91). A lot goes into classifying a psychopath; they are very manipulative but well liked and charming because of their incredible talent to hide under a facade of normality.
Chet J. Willer KGA2_Intake Assessment CJ161 Juvenile Justice G. Hicks 01 SEP 2010 WP Intake Assessment This narrative will be illustrated in three parts. The first part will describe the roles and functions of an intake officer within the juvenile justice system. The second part will illustrate my analysis and recommendations for each juvenile offender based upon each of the three scenarios provided in the course curriculum. Finally, I will compare the differences between the intake process of juvenile offenders and adult offenders. During the nineteenth century, John Augustus was credited as being the first probation officer after he convinced a court to release an intoxicated prisoner into his custody in attempt to rehabilitate the accused instead of sending him to jail.
One model teaches the person learned behavior to change the addiction process, while the other is not so different. The neurobiological model shows that addictive chemicals can have an effect on the brain, and the effect can be changed with in this case mindfulness thinking, there is also the ability to use medication to block the pleasure receptors in the brain. References Brewer, J. A., Elwafi, H. M., & Davis, J. H. (2012, May 28). Psychological models and neurobiological mechanisms of mindfulness training as treatment for addictions.
From neuroscience perspective, cocaine, Xanax, and marijuana that are identified in Houston’s body attribute to imbalance of neurotransmitters, causing depression, which results in Whitney Houston’s committed suicide. To begin with, cocaine is a stimulant that can produce a rush of euphoria and lead to lack of dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine. To understand how the imbalance comes, we should consider how neurotransmitters work in the brain. There is a junction called synapse between the axon and the dendrite, and neurotransmitters enable neural information to across the synapse to achieve neural communication. After the neurotransmitters stimulate the receptors on the receiving neuron, excess chemicals are taking back up into the sending neuron to be used again (lecture).
Running head: FUNCTIONAL PSYCHOPATH The Recipe for the Functional Psychopath Cannon University Counseling 646 Abstract This paper will discuss the existence of the psychopath in its many forms. It will define the psychopath, discuss the subgroups, treatment possibilities, the historical and fictional examples over our history and the many contributions psychological professionals have made over the last century to the understanding of this disorder. This paper will also detail the differences in the brain structure of psychopaths, discuss how one would go about discovering a young psychopath in the making and spiritual implications of this disorder. Introduction
Phobias and Addictions Kamron Hymon University of Phoenix June 30, 2013 People may not know this, but each and every person is conditioned in one way or another, whether it be classically or operant without even being aware of it. These two conditioning's can affect us and also acquire an addiction or a phobia based on something we may have experienced. Addictions and phobias are known to be simple emotional matters of the mind. Phobias are most likely to be developed through classical conditioning: as for addictions are developed through the operant conditioning. These are bot types of behavioral modification, they are really different from
