...This psychological condition is widely known as a Napoleon Complex. Complexes were developed by, as well as found in the works of, Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud. They believed our core emotions and perceptions affect our unconscious. If these emotions transform into a theme, a complex is developed. As humans all experience different situations and broad emotions, these sentiments give...

...Date: 21 February 2012 Write an essay about the Oedipus complex. Your essay should explore the history of the concept, its development in psychoanalytic thinking and its wider implications. You should illustrate your understanding with detailed examples from your work setting and/or placement. Essay submitted for the award of MSc in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy at Birkbeck College, University of London Introduction This paper attempts to trace the evolution of Freud’s concept of the Oedipus complex within psychoanalysis. One case will be considered in detail to illustrate relevant theoretical formulations focussing mainly on the work of Freud, Klein, Britton and Bion. The wider implications of the Oedipus complex will also be considered before I conclude. History of the Oedipus complex and Freud’s theoretic evolution Freud used the term Oedipus complex to describe a boy's feelings of desire for his mother and hostility towards his father which he regarded as a universal event of early childhood. The term is derived from the Greek myth of Oedipus who unwittingly killed his father and married his mother. In a letter to Fliess dating back to 1897, Freud (1954) attributes these ideas to his self analysis and indirectly to the Greek myth as presented in the popular Sophocles’ play ‘Oedipus Rex’. During the late 1890s Freud, theorised that fantasies built around the Oedipus complex were the primary cause of hysteria and other neurotic symptoms...

...Inferiority complex An abnormal or pathological state which, due to the tendency of the complex to draw unrelated ideas into itself, leads the individual to depreciate himself, to become unduly sensitive, to be too eager for praise and flattery, and to adopt a derogatory attitude toward others. ers. every human being is born with inferiority feelings. For physical weakness and defects in some parts of body will contribute to emotional problems. I have undergone two times of liver transplant. One is when I was 13 and the second time is at 19. Since my first transplant, I had a big scar on my abdomen. I used to think that I was a weaker person because I had less energy and easier to get tired compared to other normal people. In this connection, I always think that I am weaker than others. I feel inferior and have low self-confidence. These are some feelings and personality arose from psychological inferiority. http://www.davidcox.com.mx/library/L/Lin,%20Timothy%20-%20Inferiority%20Complex.pdf The My life is always connected to these previous unpleasant experiences. The parental attitudes are also important in shaping my personality. Since I was My parents seldom praise me when I behave well or get good academic results. They tend to think that it is my responsibility to be a good child. Their attitude makes me never feel proud of my achievements even I was viewed as a good student by others.

...Some Applications of the Residue Theorem∗ Supplementary Lecture Notes MATH 322, Complex Analysis Winter 2005 Pawel Hitczenko Department of Mathematics Drexel University Philadelphia, PA 19104, U.S.A. email: phitczenko@math.drexel.edu ∗I would like to thank Frederick Akalin for pointing out a couple of typos. 1 1 Introduction These notes supplement a freely downloadable book Complex Analysis by George Cain (henceforth referred to as Cain’s notes), that I served as a primary text for an undergraduate level course in complex analysis. Throughout these notes I will make occasional references to results stated in these notes. The aim of my notes is to provide a few examples of applications of the residue theorem. The main goal is to illustrate how this theorem can be used to evaluate various types of integrals of real valued functions of real variable. Following Sec. 10.1 of Cain’s notes, let us recall that if C is a simple, closed contour and f is analytic within the region bounded by C except for finitely many points z0 , z1 , . . . , zk then k f (z)dz = 2πi C j=0 Resz=zj f (z), where Resz=a f (z) is the residue of f at a. 2 2.1 Evaluation of Real-Valued Integrals. Definite integrals involving trigonometric functions 2π We begin by briefly discussing integrals of the form F (sin at, cos bt)dt. 0 (1) Our method is easily adaptable for integrals over a different range, for example between 0 and π or between ±π. Given the form of an integrand...

...interpretation of a complex number. Since a complex number z = x + iy is comprised of two real numbers it is natural to consider a plane in which to place a complex number. We shall see that there is a close connection between complex numbers and two-dimensional vectors. In the second part of this Block we introduce an alternative form, called the polar form, for representing complex numbers. We shall see that the polar form is particularly advantageous when multiplying and dividing complex numbers. 9 6 x know what a complex number is Prerequisites Before starting this Block you should . . . 8 y understand how to use trigonometric functions cos θ, sin θ and tan θ z understand what a polynomial function is { possess a knowledge of vectors 7 Learning Outcomes Learning Style After completing this Block you should be able To achieve what is expected of you . . . to . . . represent complex numbers on an Argand diagram obtain the polar form of a complex number multiply and divide complex numbers in polar form allocate sufficient study time briefly revise the prerequisite material attempt every guided exercise and most of the other exercises 1.

...Complex Analysis Complex Numbers: A complex number z is an ordered pair (x,y) of real numbers x and y. z = (x,y) = x + iy The Real Part of z ie.Re(z) = x and the Imaginery part of z ie. Im(z) = y. Moreover,i2 = -1 which is an imaginery unit. a. The two imaginery numbers x + iy and a + ib are equal iff x = a and y =b, b. For z = x + iy, if x = 0,then z = iy (A pure imaginery number) and if y = 0 then z = x ( Pure real number). If z1 = x1 + iy1 and z2 = x2 + iy2, then the Addition, Multiplication, Subtraction and Division of two complex numbers respectively is defined as follows: z1 + z2 = (x1 + x2) + i(y1 + y2) z1 z2 = (x1 x2 - y1 y2) + i(x1 y2 + x2 y1) z1 − z2 = (x1 - x2) + i(y1 - y2) z = x/y = x + iy,where x = , y = ,z2 ≠ 0. Complex Conjugate Number The complex conjugate of the number z = x +iy is = x-iy Re(z) = x = (z + ) and Im(z) = (z - ) When z is real, z = x then z = Polar Form of Complex Numbers Let (x,y) be the Cartesian coordinates and (r,Ө) be the polar coordinates,then x = r cos Ө , y = r sin Ө Therefore, z = x+iy = r (cos Ө+ isin Ө) r = which is the absolute value or the modulus of z.

...“Military Industrial Complex”. What does this term mean, who coined the term and when? The Military Industrial Complex is generally defined as a coalition consisting of the military and industrialists who profit by manufacturing arms and selling them to the government. The Military Industrial Complex as coined by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in his farewell address on 1961. Great and sustained spending for defense and war he warned created power groups that could disastrously harm the nation future. How is this concept related to Third World military regimes? Military Industrial Complex is very influential and resourceful and related to financial crisis at the time primarily affected developing nations negatively. The first modern MIC arose in Britain, France and Germany in the 1800s and 1890s as part of increasing need to defend their respective empires both on the ground and at sea. What roles do developed nations play in the arms business in Third World countries? Please think of present day examples. Developing countries are the main recipients of the arms sales. Developing nations continue to be the primary focus of foreign arms sales activity by weapons suppliers though most are arms are supplied by just 2 or 3 major supplier. In spite of our global economic climate major purchase has continue to be made by a select few developing nations in these regions such as India in Asia, and Saudi Arabia in the Middle East. In the increasing of the...

...Oedipus Complex For many years, the Oedipus Complex has been a perplexing psychological disorder that has caught the attention of many psychologists and doctors. This disorder is very prominent at young ages. Oedipus Complex is located in the brain. Oedipus Complex affects the brain to where a child gains an attraction to the opposite-sex parent while gaining a hatred towards the other parent. The child, which can either be a boy or a girl, becomes fixated to a point where they compete with the other parent for attention. Oedipus complex is used primarily to describe a son's attraction towards his mother. Electra Complex, a form of Oedipus complex is used to describe a daughter’s attraction to her father. Sigmund Freud, a very famous psychologists, was very interested in this complex. Oedipus Complex acquired its name from the greek mythological character named Oedipus. Oedipus is the child of Laius and Jocasta in the Greek tragedy Oedipus the King. This Greek tragedy was written by Sophocles in 429 B.C. This tragedy follows the character Oedipus who becomes the king of Thebes. However, he is given the fate to kill his father and marry his mother. Oedipus unknowingly follows...

...Tejuana Thomas – Module 11 – Short Essay The military-industrial complex is generally defined as a "coalition consisting of the military and industrialists who profit by manufacturing arms and selling them to the government." Many have long advocated for effective air and ground power as an element in our military force structure. However, many have argued the necessity; simply because of the costs that will occur. This result in a prevalent hesitation and the thought that the military industrial complex is building weapons that the military does not want. However, a great majority of the American people recognize the importance of maintaining air and ground superiority; especially when the lives of our friends, family and loved-ones are at stake. With the building of weapons by the Military Industrial Complex, the nature of a battle will be unlike anything the world has ever known. This has been exhibited in Afghanistan with a glimpse of the latest generation of high-tech weaponry. A major assault by combined American forces provided a full demonstration of the military's new doctrine of faster, lighter, smarter warfare. Combat in which cutting-edge technology became U.S. troops' deadliest weapon. The Pentagon called this new doctrine RMA, for "revolution in military affairs". The need for new technology to fight today’s wars, is a necessity for the United States; especially considering that we are battling countries that thrive off force and death...

...Position on Military Industrial Complex Catalina M. Young Archbishop Edward A. McCarthy Abstract The “Military Industrial Complex” is a term coined by former President Dwight D. Eisenhower. This refers to the relationship between the nation’s armed forces and the industries that support them. Though its name came about in the 1960s, this relationship between armed forces and private industry dates back centuries. Recent legislation has been passed to help limit the power that this relationship has over defense spending. For any country, military spending is a big part of the national budget. Over time this business transaction has formed into a relationship between the nation’s armed forces and these private defense industries. In his farewell speech, President Eisenhower warned the country of this relationship. He named this relationship as the “military industrial complex.” The military industrial complex (MIC) is commonly applied to the United States’ expenditure in comparison to other nations. The MIC is most often referred to when the cost of military spending comes under scrutiny. How the military industrial complex works is that private companies give money to politicians during elections. Following this politicians then support military projects that will further the interests of these private companies. Then the military buys goods from these companies. This relationship can lead to corruption in the government. This has been happening in the United States...

...Complex Regional Pain Syndrome is a non-life-threatening “chronic pain condition” that most frequently affects a limb after being injured (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome). “Damage” and “malfunction” of the peripheral or central nervous system is thought to be the cause of this condition (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome). The “severity and duration” of CRPS differs between those who are affected (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome). People of any age can develop CRPS, but the most common age is 40, and the elderly are rarely affected (RSD CRPS). It is generally seen in more women than men, but both are susceptible (RSD CRPS). There is no cure but merely therapies to treat the symptoms as the individual’s body works to heal itself. There...

...towards it or compete with others if they want to outshine. They will learn to sharpen their mind in order to stay ahead. His performance is carried into his working life. However, on the negative side, loosing in a competition can be so humbling that the students fall into depression. They may begin to lose self-confidence and question their capability. A student who is always at the top will be under pressure to either maintain his position or to do even better. It can be rather stressful. In this sense, it is not healthy to be too competitive. One can only do one’s best. For students who are not so bright but who are satisfied with their mediocre achievement, such competitive spirit may make them develop an inferiority complex. As a...

...GUIDANCE & COUNSELING PRE FINALS Princess Shelly Ann Carla Aguiman AB Math Maalaala Mo Kaya(MMK) October 5, 2013 Episode tells about the story of Joan Panopio, the news anchor of TV Patrol Southern Tagalog. Joan came from a family which was not well-off, yet, she kept her high spirits as a child. As a kid, she has dreamed about joining the annual “Sagala”. Yet, because of her physical appearance, she never got a shot at it. She was also insulted and teased because of her looks. Yet, her father always tells her that she is beautiful. She was also discriminated because of their family’s economic status. Her dream was to be the next Korina Sanchez. When she got to college, she took Developmental Communication, a course that would help her get closer to fulfilling her dream. She thought she already lives in an environment where people would accept her no matter what she is. Yet, her classmates still discriminate her, even letting her join a beauty pageant only to make fun of her. Because of that, she regained her childhood fears. As a practicumer, she still experienced the discrimination. These experiences only discouraged her with her dream. She graduated, but she worked in a DVD rental store, a work which is very far from her course. She met a man who eventually became her boyfriend. Her father misjudged him, thinking that Greg influenced her to stay in their town instead of applying for her dream job at Manila. Because of this event, she and her father drifted apart....

...personality, as well as the individual’s personal history. He found that the ego can function independently and is the most important. Unlike other neo-Freudians, Jung focused on the unconscious, coming up with analytical psychology, his own theories on the unconscious. He came up with a variation of Freud’s ideas of human psyche, ego, consciousness and unconsciousness. Jung also came up with describing our personality as a whole, the concept of the self. Horney was one of the few female psychologists at the time. She focuses o the development of the child as being greatly influenced by their parents and the theory of self. She came up with three strategies go deal with neurosis. Horney had a strong disagreement with Freud’s Oedipus complex and her theory that girls do not only have penis envy, but guys have womb envy. Lastly, Adler focused on childhood and social interactions. He had a strong focus on inferiority complexes, their causes, and ways people deal with them....
