...Rorschach Inkblot Test February 18, 2013 Michelle McGuire, Psy. D. University of Phoenix Rorschach Inkblot Test Tin flexible, has an onset in adolescence or early adulthood, is stable over time, and leads to distress or impairment (Hannig, 2006)." The actual diagnosis of a personality disorders is complicated because the affected individual rarely seeks help. This would have to involve the person suffering from a disorder to be in serious trouble or until their families, or in some cases; the law mandates treatment. People with personality disorders do not believe they have a disorder or have not come to terms with the disorder they believe others are at fault. Diagnosis of a personality disorder depends in part on the individuals’ age. Although personality disorders originate during the childhood years, they may not be diagnosed until adulthood. Some patients, in fact, are not diagnosed until later in life because their symptoms had been modified. Personality tests attempt to measure ones basic personality style and are most used in research or forensic settings to help with clinical diagnoses, two of the most well-known personality tests are the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and the Rorschach “inkblot test” (Richmond, 2008). Researchers were motivated to uncover unconscious aspects of the psyche, so they devised what is known as projective tests. According to Britannica Online Encyclopedia...

...Since its establishment in the early 1920’s the Rorschach test has always been controversial. Named after its Swiss creator, Hermann Rorschach, the Rorschach test is a psychological test in which subjects' perceptions of inkblots are recorded and then analyzed using psychological interpretation, complex algorithms, or both. Hermann Rorschach was a Swiss Psychiatrist born in Zurich in 1884 to a father who was a local art teacher who encouraged his to express himself in all creative capacity. He received his medical degree from the University of Zurich in 1909. It was a combination of his high creative upbringing, his medical training, and his friendship with Carl Jung, who was using free association to tap into the unconscious, that influenced his book on inkblots and their significance in the world of psychology. Psychologists have...

...Below is a much briefer summary of the case study of Eve The aim of this case study was to provide an account of the treatment of a 25-year-old woman who was referred to Thigpen and Cleckley because of 'severe and blinding headaches'. The psychiatrists used a case study method. This consisted of interviews with the patient and her family, hypnosis, observation, EEG tests and a number of psychometric and projective tests including, memory tests, ink blot tests and intelligence tests. The patient (referred to as Eve White in the study) had been referred for therapy to one of the authors because of ‘severe and blinding headaches’. At the first interview she also complained of ‘‘blackouts’’ following her headaches. However they were puzzled that Eve White had no memory of a recent trip. The therapists used hypnosis and the amnesia was cleared. Several days after a visit to the therapists, a letter from Eve White appeared at the therapists’ office. The letter concerned her therapy and was written in her usual handwriting, but at the bottom of the page there was a paragraph that looked like a child had written it. On her next visit Eve White denied sending the letter, though she recalled having begun one, which she never finished and thought she had destroyed. During the interview, Eve White who was normally very self-controlled became distressed and asked whether hearing an occasional imaginary voice made her insane. She reported that she had on several occasions over the...

...How important was fear of communism in explaining why President Hindenburg invited Hitler to become Chancellor in 1933? Intro Communism was a political idea which was beginning to become popular in Germany. However it was very much disliked as communist were seen as unruly because of street battles with police. People feared the way the USSR discriminated against the middle class and in the process of becoming communist countries had taken land away from farmers and many peasants had been killed or imprisioned. Hitler was appointed chancellor on the 30th January 1933 and this was partly to do with the publics fear of communism however it was not the most important factor. One way the fear of communism explained why Hindenburg invited Hitler to become chancellor was pressure from big businesses. Originally Hindenburg had not wanted to appoint Hitler as chancellor, he feared he would dismantle democracy and as a former leader of the imperial german army Hindenburg strngly disliked the S.A. However he was getting older and struggling to keep the republic together. The army favored Hitler to protect the state from communism and the former president of the reichsbank, Hjalmar Schacht, made it known that the business and finical world saw Hitler as the ‘lesser of two evils’. This put huge pressure on Hindenburg to pick Hitler as chancellor because he needed the support of the army and business world. Along with the army and business world, support for Hitler in the public was...

...The Unity of Appearance The novel Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse exemplifies the idea behind appearance. The novel is able – through dialogue, events, and descriptions – to show how appearance does not exemplify the world as a whole, yet how appearance does not symbolize nothing, but instead how appearance matters in the sense that it changes and tells a story. Appearance matters in a way that all objects of the world portray their story through their appearance. Appearance allows someone or something to see nooks and crannies within objects in order to see that objects past, present and future. For example how the scratches on rocks show weathering while wrinkles on a human show stress. Take that even further and see how deep those scratches are or wrinkles are, what other features can you see, and a story begins to build right in front of you just from appearance. Within the novel we can see this idea of appearance through Siddhartha’s journey to become enlightened. His own appearance changes as he transitions from studious, to gluttonous and to enlightened. With the passage of time appearance evolves and fits the character of the thing it inhabits. Around Siddhartha others also are under the influence of the ideas surrounding appearance. Appearance though different between objects we call the same, as no two rocks are identical, they continue to portray the same image. Parallel to the idea of enlightenment there are multiple paths to the end journey. Appearance allows for these...

...Pieces of a Puzzle The places we visit and live in affect us in some way, shape, or form; they help mold us into who we are. In Siddhartha, written by Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha tries to find a way to reach enlightenment by trying out different religious practices. He leaves his home with the Brahmins, and travels around with different religious groups to find his enlightenment. In Siddhartha the different environments that he lives in helps shape him and find inner peace. In the story, Siddhartha becomes void of human feelings and temptations due to his life with various cultural practices. “A goal stood before Siddhartha, a single goal: to become empty, empty of thirst, empty of wishing, empty of dreams, empty of joy and sorrow.” (12). Siddhartha...

... One must follow the Eightfold path to become one with oneself however, Siddhartha is trying to find his paths of paths to obtain Nirvana. Nirvana is known as the path of paths because no one can reach it in the same way everyone must obtain it in their own way. As a boy he started out as a Brahman and as time went on he felt he could no longer learn anything more from the Brahmans. He then protested to his father until he let his son become a Samana. By making all these changes in his life Siddhartha is trying to reach his Nirvana. In order for him to reach his Nirvana he must learn and understand every aspect of the Eightfold path and the Four great truths. Siddhartha also realizes that no one else can help him obtain Nirvana this is something he has to do alone. Nirvana can’t be taught or learned it must be understood by the specific individual. Siddhartha has transitioned from boyhood into manhood and he has separated himself from the life he once knew to try and find his Nirvana. Siddhartha believes that the feeling of knowledge is when an individual has learned everything from a specific area and can no longer learn from that specific area. It is then at this time when the individual should move on and continue learning and expanding their knowledge. Siddhartha started his journey out as a Brahman and when his knowledge of the Brahman doctrine could no longer be added to the young Siddhartha transitioned into a Samana. Siddhartha learned many valuable lessons from the...

...1. Throughout Part One of the story, Siddhartha is on a journey to find enlightenment. He has a strong passion and curiosity to find the meaning of Nirvana. I interpreted that Hesse wants us to believe that enlightenment comes from within. He uses several rhetorical devices to develop this theme. On page 11, I found Siddhartha uses hyperboles to show his passion. When the Brahmin asked him if he will fall asleep Siddhartha says, “I will not fall asleep.” For me, this shows that he is so passionate about finding enlightenment, that he is willing to give up anything. This is an exaggeration, because he cannot live without sleep. Eventually, he would die of exhaustion, and not find enlightenment. On page 33, Hesse uses personification to develop the theme. “Opinions mean nothing; they may be beautiful or ugly, clever or foolish, anyone can embrace or reject them.” This uses personification because it gives humanlike qualities to opinions, which is a noun. 2. I can assume that Siddhartha will continue on his path to Nirvana. He has developed more confidence in his decisions. On the last page of Part One, it foreshadows Siddhartha’s future decisions. The last paragraph says “Immediately he moved on again and began to walk quickly and impatiently, no longer homewards, no longer to his father, no longer looking backwards.” I can predict that Siddhartha will forget everything he was taught about religion, and create his own. 3. Govinda looked up to Siddhartha throughout the entire selection...

...2 Kings 5:15-27 is a small part in a big story. The background information for this passage is as follows. Naaman was a respected and loved man. However, he sadly was diagnosed with leprosy. The King, who loved Naaman, sent him off to see the prophet Elisha in hopes of a healing. Instead of immediate healing, Elisha instructed Naaman to wash in the Jordan River seven times. Naaman was upset with this news and initially decided that he was not going to follow through with Elisha's instructions. In the end, Naaman was persuaded by his wise friends and washed seven times in the Jordan River and was healed. The accompanying commentary on this passage refers to Gehazi and his greed. Gehazi, Elisha's servant, took gifts from Naaman without Elisha's...

...homeless people, he was looking to them as the above. However, once in a long time he had a dream as a bird in a golden cage was dead and he took and frown away. At this point he realized that he is empty inside and he wanted to be free from all of perfume, hair, wine. He got tired of the game Sansara played with Kamala, but never satisfied. He felt disgusting about himself because he lost all the cences, he became rude and corrupt. And again, he sfall in his thoughts “For all of these many years, without knowing it himself, he had tried hard and longed to become a man like those many, like those children, and in all this, his life had been much more miserable and poorer than theirs, and their goals were not his, nor their worries.” Hesse, Hermann. Siddhartha. In one day he despaired, he decided that this dream it means his mission on the real world, so his mission is done, know he need to move on.

...“The Actions of Von Papen and Hindenburg were the main reason why Hitler became chancellor” how far do you agree with this statement? I partly agree with this statement but not 100% in the next few paragraphs I will explain to you why. Firstly the main reason in which I think Hitler became chancellor was because of the depression, Hitler gained 33% of the votes in 1932, this was a third of the votes making the Nazi party the largest party in Germany, however this didn’t mean that Hitler could become chancellor because he didn’t have the majority of the votes, even though Hitler wasn’t chancellor because of the votes I believe that Hindenburg and Von Papen were starting to consider him. In the early years of the Nazi party they only gained 12 seats and 810,000 votes this meant they were only the 7th largest party in the Germany (before the depression) but then in 1932 the party gained 230 seats and 13.7 million votes making them the biggest party in Germany(after the depression). The reason that the Nazi gained all these votes was because during the depression the working class were mostly voting communist and this would make the middle class angry and not wanting to lose there money so they voted for a party that would get rid of the communists and that would be the Nazi. The second reason why was because Von Papen being the adviser to Hindenburg was good friends with Hitler. Von Papen told Hindenburg that he would create a new government and allow Hitler to become chancellor...

...Fundamentals of Cognitive Psychology 2 240 words Contents Motion after effect: An assessment of Inter-ocular transfer 2 Primacy and recency effect and its Role on the serial position effect 8 Motion after effect: An assessment of inter-ocular transfer. Ruvimbo B Fellowes Anglia Ruskin University Abstract Prolonged observation of an unchangeable configuration produces adaptation which can be shown by an optical after effects such as the tilt illusions. The purposes relating aftereffect level to adapting contrast and adaptation time were comparable under the two testing conditions, with inter-ocular transfer remaining fairly constant. Complete inter-ocular transfer indicates physiological processes which causes perceptual fluctuations is not located in the retina but in central pathways common in the two eyes. The experiment shows motion after effect contains components or both peripheral and central. In typical observers these normally reveal inter-ocular transfer (IOT), being witnessed when the adapting and test inducements are revealed to alternating eyes.

...Siddhartha by german writer, Hermann Hesse, follows the journey of a boy as he becomes an enlightened man. The journey of Siddhartha is an inspiring one, going through several stages to achieve one goal. Personally, I believe that in today’s society we are deprived of taking journeys to find ourselves. Some human beings could use a transformation, or two, or three. The novel is littered with aspects of romanticism, which is very lacking in the “real life.” It is also lacking in modern literature. Romanticism has six main characteristics: emotion over reason, character introspection, love as a spiritual entity, emphasis on nature, preference to rural society over urban society, and subjectivity on the author’s part. Siddhartha has ample evidence to supply for its focus on emotions, introspection, love, nature, and rural societies. Siddhartha focuses primarily on the emotions of the titular character. His drive is viewed as unreasonable, fueled strictly by how he feels throughout his journey. Siddhartha’s feelings of discontent among the Brahman are what lead on the path he chooses. Under the banyan tree, his meditation brings him this conclusion, “It had to be found, the pristine source in one's own self, it had to be possessed! Everything else was searching, was a detour, was getting lost. Thus were Siddhartha's thoughts, this was his thirst, this was his suffering.” (Hesse, Kindle Locations 74-76). He feels so strongly about finding the cure for his discontent, that he feels...
