There are many factors that are integrated into the successful development of a child from Prenatal growth into toddlerhood. Teratogens (outside factors) have a great impact on the babies’ inutero development. Some outside factors like second-hand smoke, smog, or fumes from cleaning chemicals can cause negative effects on the child inside the womb. A few major affects from teratogens could result in low birth weight, head circumference, slow physical growth as well as an effect on mental, behavioral
essential to myth because they are what drive the story; without the trickster, the plot could cease to exist, or dramatically change. A good, modern day, example of the trickster character would be Shawn Spencer from the television show Psych. The very first episode of Psych starts with Shawn waiting in the police station to be rewarded for calling in a tip, or so he thought. In actuality, the police believe that he helped to commit the robbery due to the information he was able to provide. After failing
Gus:“You named your fake detective agency ‘Psych’? As in ‘got you’? Why didn't you just call it ‘Hey, we're fooling you and the police department; hope we don't make a mistake and somebody dies because of it.’" Shawn: “First of all, Gus, that name is entirely too long; it would never fit on the window. And secondly, the best way you convince people you're not lying to them is to tell them you are!” (“Psych (TV Series)”). One of the greatest comforts is comedy and its amazing ability to palliate tragic
When Sylvia Plath was told her father died at the tender age of nine, she bitterly said, “I’ll never speak to God again.” In her brief but indispensable writing career, Plath distinguished herself in the poetical realm with her body of work that includes but is not limited to poems, short stories, and one semi-autobiographical novel. Her legacy lives on through her dark themes laden with powerful images such as the moon and skulls, while a father-type figure acts as a significant force either as
The DSM-5 Personality and Personality Disorders Work Group made several recommendations to change the DSM-IV approach towards diagnosing personality disorders. One of those recommendations was to delete five personality disorders as a way to reduce the level of comorbidity among the disorders. Histrionic, paranoid narcissistic, paranoid and dependent personality disorders were recommended for removal. In the present article, Zimmerman and his colleges evaluated the impact of these recommendations
The Zimbardo prison experiment (1971) was carried out at Stanford University in 1971. From August 14th, to August 20th, Professor Philip Zimbardo (1971) gathered 24 male students and set them up in a mock prison. The premise behind the experiment was that abusive behavior from prison guards and prisoners was due to inherent personality traits within the individual. By gathering these 24 students, Zimbardo (1971) hoped to show that guards and prisoners were not only abusive due to their personality
As we now know, "Girl, Interrupted" revolves around Susanna Kaysen and her personal experience of being put in a hospital and being diagnosed. The memoir also included several other individuals that she grew to know and socialized with over her extended stay at the facility. Though all of these women slept under the same roof, their disorders and conditions where all for the most part very different. The main characters worth noting were Susanna Kaysen, Lisa, Georgina Tuskin, and Daisy Randone. Let
I attended a lecture that was held at The New School University Center on November 11th to listen to psychology speaker and author Daniel Levitin. A multitude of college students attended the lecture who were interested in Neurochemistry and the brain but some students just came to learn more about his experiments. He came to talk about the Neurochemistry of musical pleasure and why was listening to music pleasureable based on the experiment he conducted. Coming to listen to the lecture, I was unfamiliar

With my tendency to seek out opportunities, I soon learned about the psychology department’s chapter of the Psi Chi Honor Society and its psychology club – Club Psych.

I always had a feeling that I’d end up in psych ward, never knew what for though, but I always thought I’d have a better reason than I do now. Long story short: I tried to kill myself. . . . Date The fall of my seventeenth year I came to terms with the fact that I was depressed, horribly, nightmarishly, insufferably depressed. This was not a new revelation be any means, simply a somewhat new acceptance. I accepted the fact that I had very few friends that I felt close to, rarely went out and if I
Linden Roberts Wesleyan College Susanna Kaysen coped with the realization of having borderline personality disorder through a lot of confusion and uncertainties. Due to the fact that she did not even know why her doctor was sending her in a taxi to a psych ward, she had to process everything as it was happening. There is not a particular moment that stuck out to me in which she denied having a mental illness, as it appeared to me that she was basically accepting of it throughout the story. However, Susanna

I Barely Know Her!” In this episode, the story of a young man named Brandon Peterson who gets involved in poker and loses a substantial amount of money which causes his life to go dramatically down hill.
