Application of Erikson’s Post-Freudian Theory

Application of Erikson’s Post-Freudian Theory

Introduction

Erik Erikson’s’ views make significant contributions to the field of psychology; this is particularly in the understanding of personality development and related factors. An understanding of his own study of personal development creates an understanding of development of his psychology (Fleming, 2004). Most of Erikson’s psychology work became evident in the post-Freudian era. It was between the 1930s and 1950s; being one of Freud’s students, most of his work exhibit the influence of Freudian views and theories; this was mainly in the field of personality development. However, dissimilar from Freud’ ...

In this paper, I will show and discuss two accounts of disability, and then I will build a main argument between these two accounts.

First: Boorse account:

Before discussing the loss or the disadvantage Boorse claims that disability -disease- creates, I should first state some notes about the Boorse account. Boorse in his paper, Health as a theoretical concept (1977), discussed the notion of health and those disadvantages health will interpret he named diseases. Since we are looking for disability, the reader should assume that any disability term in this paper would be disease in Boorse account. In addition, there are some terms, ...

Abstract

Amnesia is a condition characterized by memory loss or inability to form new memories that can be caused by organic or functional factors. Organic factors that cause amnesia include brain injuries from physical trauma or medical condition. Functional factors are psychological responses to traumatic events or internal conflicts. Although the cause of amnesia is clear when memory is impaired by organic factors, the role of physiological processes in dissociative amnesia is still controversial. This paper aims to provide an overview of amnesia and the physiological processes that can explain how functional factors affect the brain and impair memory recovery. ...

In this paper I summarize, analyze, and critique "Can science prove that God does not exist.", by Theodore Schick Jr, on pages 484 to 487, a contemporary issue in Chapter 5 of the textbook. I discuss it with references to the chapter in MLA format. A short summary of the argument is provided, and then analysis is conducted on two underlying assumptions. Analysis of the assumptions is the type of analysis that is necessary to understand philosophy in these different contemporary issues. Often the actual logic used is sound; however, the underlying assumptions for the logic are typically not supportable. ...

Part Four – Anthropology.

1. Man’s Creation. a. Preliminary Considerations. i. The fundamental difference between humans and angels, as Shedd states, is that “God created man male and female.” This implies that man is “incomplete if in isolation from one another.” However, angels are “sexless” which means that although they have been created with “reasonable and immortal souls” like man, they are not man or woman and are therefore, infinitely more complete than man. 1. This means that we must live at one with our alter-gender counterparts and consider each other equally as important. We are only whole humans ...

Human ability to adapt to change has been a subject matter of great contention. History shows that people have fought wars and caused great social disharmony to resist change. For instance, the Crusades that were wars that lasted for centuries to resist the growing power of Islam in the Western World. The idea of change, a new religion was too threatening. Moreover, literature is rife with stories that illustrate the problems created because of characters’ inability accept change. For instance, it is believed my many that Shakespeare’s Hamlet is actually a story about the titular character’s inability to accept change, ...

Sophocles was one of the most prescient and well-regarded playwrights of Greek drama, whose tragedies have established many literary and theatrical conventions that are still alive today. While Sophocles’ work is indicative of the culture in which it was created, it is also a trenchant critique of human nature as well. This comes across especially clearly in his Theban plays – Antigone, Oedipus the King, and Oedipus at Colonus – in which he uses his stories and characters to reflect flaws and issues he sees with the human condition and its relationship with the gods. Exploring these critical aspects of Sophocles’ Theban ...

Due to the divide between their imaginary world and the real world, the people suffering from schizophrenia have a hard time carrying out daily tasks. As a result, of their limited ability to perform conventional tasks, people suffering from schizophrenia pull out from the society and act out of unease and panic. This leads to problems when ...

Introduction

Human development is essentially a lifelong process of behavioral, physical, socio-emotional, and cognitive growth and change.

Question 1.

Bonnie’s early childhood experience had a negative impact on her perception of social interactions. Children learn social behavior through experience; when the clerks laughed, and the parents felt embarrassed for her inability to exercise self-control, she developed anxiety and fear of social situations. She developed the behavior of avoiding social interactions due to the fear of embarrassing herself. The experience developed a conditioned fear response affecting her ability to interact years later. In her perception, socially-improper behavior results in punishment; in order to avoid punishment, she avoids social interaction altogether. She developed a generalized view that the pattern applies in every ...

Abstract

As the title suggests, this paper covers the importance and purpose of the female orgasm. Since the female orgasm is not essential for conception, this paper attempts to shed light on why it regarded as so significant, not only by women but by men as well. This paper lays stress upon the fact that achieving a vaginal orgasm is not an easy ordeal for women. At this point the paper distinguishes between vaginal and clitoral female orgasms, while explaining why the latter orgasm is easier to achieve while the other one is not. Although this paper points out the lack ...

Welfare is established in order to maintain the well-being of the general public within a society. These establishments, in turn, present institutions that are put forth in order to satisfy this agenda of maintaining a certain level of its citizen’s livelihood. However, many of these programs tend to cause more trouble than they alleviate. While there are options that allow for the financial protection of individuals, it is difficult to implement the large scale institutionalization of these programs. Furthermore, there are not significant benefits to the cost of their implementation. For this reason, the only option is that all forms ...

Social workers play an integral role in helping individuals through the grief process by assessing for related needs as well as providing or bridging ...

Introduction

Through the years, theorists use a variety of theories in attempts to explain human development socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually. Among the most used theories are those of psychosocial development; the main contributor is Erik Erikson. His theory on psychosocial development is one of the most influential personality theories; he focuses on the belief that a human being develops in stages. The occurrences at every stage develop the person’s psychosocial abilities; Erikson explores the influence of social experiences throughout a person’s lifespan (Cavanaugh & Blanchard-Fields, 2006). The development of ego identity is a significant element in Erikson’s stages; ego identity refers ...

How would you react when you notice that your grandfather starts to do the weirdest things ever such as forgetting the name of common objects, putting his fragrances inside of the kitchen’s cabinets and even blaming you for taking his sacks. Wouldn’t you feel sad if he doesn’t recognize who you are? Would you think that is normal for a person of his age? If your answer is yes, that means that you like many people misinterpret memory loss in seniors with the Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer's is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, ...

Imagery in William Shakespeare’s “Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day” and William Wordsworth’s “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” Both William Shakespeare and William Wordsworth rely on nature and its beauty to denote the true state of their emotions in their poems. Shakespeare compares his beloved with the loveliness of nature to evoke visual impressions of the person’s beauty, in an effort to make an abstract notion such as love and devotion more palpable, by comparing it to something that most people agree is beautiful. Wordsworth on the other hand, utilizes the beauty of ...

Abstract

Hamlet and Lawrence of Arabia portray morally conflicted characters plagued with feelings of doubt and self-disgust over their inability to resolve for themselves the ambiguities endemic to a world seemingly bereft of a moral center. Both are caught up in the violent cycle of revenge and the torments of conscience. Hamlet’s moral dilemma leaves him irresolute and impotent, while Lawrence’s impulsiveness leaves him vulnerable to the psychological costs of his own past and the part he played in the duplicitous, imperialistic political power-play that underlay the war in the Middle East.

Keywords: Hamlet, Lawrence of Arabia, revenge, conscience, Middle ...

The conventional case associated with undue influence, although not necessarily so labeled, is categorized within the typical rubric associated with unconscionability. The idea entails situations in which one particular individual brings to bear mental pressure with substantial force as well as taking length of time contrary to the will belonging to another individual that, while with complete lawful capacity, could possibly be irresolute, weak or perhaps vulnerable. Virtually any contract involving the party that exerts the particular influence and also the party that gives in to it all is unlikely to give good results in the pursuits associated with ...

An Analysis of Richard Wright’s Blueprint for Negro Writing (1937)

An African-American literary icon, Richard Wright was born in 1908 and died in 1960 (Wallach; Wright, “Uncle Tom’s” 882). Growing up in America during the early 20th century, Wright witnessed the great oppression experienced by the African-American community in that time, instilling in him the strong desire to write for his race and struggles associated with racism in America (Wallach; Wright, “Uncle Tom’s” 882). Writing various literary pieces that talked about African-American oppression and strife for freedom and equality, Wright became a literary icon and a pride of ...

Question 1: Discuss the relative use of nonverbal behaviours, such as salient periods, interruptions, facial gazing, and touching, by people from various cultural backgrounds. How does this behaviour affect the negotiation process in a cross-cultural context?

Nonverbal communication is an integral part of our communication. However, it is often ignored in the formal framework of business interactions especially by people from Western cultures. In a cross-cultural context this approach may be highly misleading, because people from different cultures give different weights to verbal vs. nonverbal communication. Thus, if Italians tend to express their emotions through gestures, Germans or Dutch emphasize more ...

An old person is one who can make a sound decision on key issues. He/she is a person who commands respect at all levels of the society.

The concept of human existence has its basis connected to the notions of abilities. Ability is something an individual can do while anything an individual can do is called inability. Disability can be defined as an inability to perform some cognitive function that unimpaired persons can undertake (Kitcher, 1996). Disability can be related to a handicap or an inability. Disability does not, however, mean one is totally capable of performing some tasks. The more a person loses some of his abilities the more dehumanized they become. This is because many aspects of life ...

Matters of sexuality and fertility especially during rehabilitation for the past thirty years have remained controversial because not so many people want to talk about them (Phelps et al., 2001).

Most of them ask questions about their attractiveness, ability to have kids and relationships. To make the matters worse, studies on sexuality among people with spinal cord injuries are scarce (Karellou, 2003). On a positive note, advances in this sector have provided ways through which such people can ...

The basic premise behind what cost-benefit analysis, also known as CBA, represents is based on a rejection of ethical evaluations that have been based upon the assumptions of abstract moral principles. In this sense, CBA presents a differentiation from those ethical intentions that are underlined by principles based in logical argumentation, rather than experience based in the real world. Furthermore, these notions present an assumption that there can, indeed, be a morally guided justification that is based in relevant interpretations of those events that have been presented as such. What sets cost benefit analysis apart from other forms of ethical frameworks ...

Compassion in nursing involves a deep and empathic regard for the suffering of a patient and the desire and engagement to ease that suffering (Slatten, Carson & Carson, 2010).
