Essays on Psychological Problems

The philosophical basis for the humanistic approach was phenomenology. According to this philosophical perspective, subjective perceptions, feelings, cognitions, experience are more important than objective facts. For example, two people can see the same movie but every person will have a unique subjective perception of this movie. Therefore, humanistic psychologists also believed that every person`s experience is unique and that an individual`s psychology cannot be studied by objective, scientific method such as tests. Also, because of phenomenological ideas humanists believe that one of the main tasks of a therapy is to explore the subjective experiences of a client ( ...

These studies suggest that children and adolescents who display these personality traits should be placed in early intervention treatment in order to limit the likelihood of domestic violence abuse during adulthood.

On the contrary, when a person performs some novelty actions in less stable or variable context this person is more likely to think about one`s actions or, in other words, thoughts and actions correspond to each other.

Transgender and the Use of MMPI-2

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) test is a self-report measure of psychopathology and the personality structures in adults. As opposed to other similar tests, it is difficult for those subjected to it to give a false impression or deny` the existence of a problem.

Therefore, it is more practical when evaluating psychological issues. It is especially the case in addressing the psychological issues of the diverse transgender population (Tellegen, et al., 2003).

In Civilization and Its Discontents Freud examines the anxieties and tensions that are part of modern society and how they affect individuals, who naturally want to be free in a world that demands conformity.
