...Psychoanalytic Personality Assessment Hokulani M. Bailey PSY/250 March 15, 2014 Mrs. Laura Epstein Psychoanalytic Personality Assessment In comparison and contrast the psychoanalysis theories of Freud, Jung and Adler are similar in general but each holds their own unique differences in their personal unique way. Throughout this paper, I will first define each psychoanalyst characteristics, describe the eight stages of Freud’s theory, and explain the characteristics of personality using these stages. I will also provide three real life scenarios utilizing Freud’s defense mechanisms. . Everything on this earth is comprised of different, biological make up, situations, environments, evolution and timing on earth. Each individual person’s personality is comprised and developed based on those same factors. We have read about three very important men that have given their own psychoanalytical theories on how personalities are developed and come to be. These men are Freud, Jung and Adler. This paper will explain to you my understanding and opinions and on their theories. Freud’s theory describes ID, Ego, and The Superego. In the Theory and Practice of Counseling & Psychotherapy (7th deterministic, and evolve through key psychosexual stages in the first six years of life. I don’t want to take away from Freud’s work, but I have a hard time believing that everything before age six determines the people that we grow up to be or that everything is instinct. I agree that the Ego mediates...

...in the essay. Although coming up with a thesis and main arguments at the beginning of the writing process is helpful, it is not necessary. Often, a thesis and main arguments become clear only after we start seeing what we can discuss in the essay. The following tips can help you to begin to organize your essay whether you don’t have a strong thesis or you have a thesis but are not sure about your smaller arguments and how to arrange your evidence. Remember that these tips are NOT strict rules for writing well, but rather provide a framework that you can use to start to organize your essay and come up with a strong thesis. 1) Calculating the number of body paragraphs A double-spaced, Times New Roman font page contains roughly 250 words or two paragraphs of 5-7 sentences each (A “good” paragraph has, generally, 3 pieces of evidence with analysis, a thesis that relates to the essay’s overall thesis, and a conclusion.). If you are given a minimum word count or page amount, simply convert that into how many equivalent paragraphs that would be. This will give you a rough idea as to how many paragraphs your essay will have to include. Generally, your introduction and conclusion paragraphs will not introduce ideas that you will have not already discussed in the body of the essay. So, now you know that total amount of body paragraphs you will have to write: the total page length multiplied by 2 (because each page has roughly 2 paragraphs) minus 2 (the intro and conclusion...

...INBU 250 Chpt. 11 Case Analysis Anglo American PLC in South America BACKROUND: According to (Daniels, Radebaugh, & Sullivan), Anglo American was founded in 1917 as the Anglo American Corporation of South America. In 2002, Anglo American made a landmark decision to provide free antiretroviral therapy (ART) to HIV-infected employees. In 2007, Anglo American PLC, at the time one of the world’s largest gold miners, found itself facing a threat that, although by no means new, defies most traditional categories of things that complicate business – an HIV/AIDS epidemic in South Africa, the world’s largest gold producer. Anglo American PLC is a diversified mining conglomerate operating in 45 countries and employing 107,000 permanent employees to produce precious metals, base metals, and bulk metals. Sub-Saharan Africa is home to just over 10 percent of the world’s population and 60 percent of all people infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. South Africa has the highest number of people living with HIV/AIDS and suffers the world’s highest rates of HIV infection – approximately 5.5 million- in a population of 49 million. Every day, almost 1000 South Africans die from AIDS-related diseases. ISSUE: Can Anglo American PLC and other corporations continue the fight against HIV/AIDS epidemic so that it does not affect business operations? ANALYSIS: Yes: 1) According to (Daniels, Radebaugh, & Sullivan), Anglo American PLC recognized the threat of the HIV/AIDS...

...Abuse Paper HCA/250 10/8/12 Abuse Paper I believe that as more of people become aware of the dangers of smoking tobacco, the percentage of smokers has fallen from around 50 per cent of the population in the 1950s to 25 per cent in 2003. The illnesses can cause cancer, heart disease and respiratory illnesses. Smoking can cause impotence, ulcers and fertility problems and it's doesn't just harm smokers. However, the decline in smoking in the population has leveled off and the percentage of people smoking in the last 10 years seems to have remained at around 25 per cent. But the good news is that about 70 per cent of smokers say they want to quit. Yet success rates for quit attempts are between 10 and 20 per cent. I also believe that the problem starts in the childs childhood, because they start to experimenting with cigarettes in their teens. Children whose parents smoke are twice as likely to start smoking compared to those with non smoking parents. Also I have read that there are 11 to 15 year olds who were most likely to be smokers due to being lonely and had difficulty talking to their parents, had problems at school and started drinking alcohol. When it come to how smoking tobacco affects the workplace I believe that smoking in the workplace often results in higher expenses for employers. These costs are attributed to increased absenteeism, lower productivity, unscheduled smoke breaks, maintenance...

...One example in the article of professionalism was the incident in 2005. The incident involved three security officers hired by an apartment complex in Boston. A man was followed into his home after refusing to show identification to the officers and beaten in front of his wife and children. The security officers should have talked to the gentleman and the family about the incident instead of using force that was unnecessary. The same company was involved in another incident in which an unspecified number of young men were arrested for trespassing. The young men were residents of the apartment building in which they were accused of trespassing. Both incidents showed poor examples of professionalism on the part of the officers. The examples of officers showing proper professionalism revolve around the private security officers working with police. They maintain the same level of professionalism as the officers at all times. This is due mostly to the fact that a percentage of them are current or retired law enforcement officers. A negative image can hurt the credentials of a security company. Take the incident from 2005 in the article. If a community hears about and sees incidents like this happening, it will be ore in fear than ever before. A level of trust must exist with private security as it does with law enforcement. If a community does not have the trust in security officers, then the officers are rendered as useless by the community. The private security sector is a business...

...Biological and Humanistic Approach Penny Jo Watkins PSY/250 Febuary 25, 2012 David Levosky Biological and Humanistic Approach He or she can commonly recognize the aspects of Freudian psychology is the presence of the Id, Ego, and Superego. In knowing this Freud says, there are levels of consciousness that shape human personality. With the knowledge of the most basic is the Id, which can make us realize what our most basic human instincts are.The Ego is responsible for taking care of our most basic needs and the Superego dictates how we address those needs in a manner consistent with social norms. Freud also believed that sex-drive, or libido, does more to shape our personality and interactions than anything else does. He or she who is being honest with themselves could agree that sexual desires can shape our personality. Most people’s instinct to reproduce is certainly one of the greatest forces that drives anyone, or any living being. One certain instinct that is a greater force in the world, is the need to survive. Abraham Maslow is a famous psychologist who stated that people have different levels of needs that must be fulfilled before the next, higher, level of needs can be achieved (Friedman &Schustack, 2009). This is called Maslow’s Hierarchy. Maslow stated that one’s physiological needs are the most basic. Some of these needs are to survive; the need for food and water. As soon as people have these needs they feel safer, this is Maslow’s second...

...Motivational and Organizational Culture Shirley Doctor HCA/250 August 21, 2011 Connie McKelvey Management plays several different roles but one major role is Communication. Communication is a transfer of understanding and meaning from one person to another (p. 320). Everything that management does involve communication. Communication is verbally as well as non-verbally. Ex. You must know how to write. If you’re writing some information down to present to your employees and when you have poor writing skills, they wouldn’t understand what you’re trying to say. That’s because you have poor communication skills. Nothing can take place without communication. A business wouldn’t survive without good and effective communication. A person can’t manage a business if he or she speaks broken English? Your employees wouldn’t be able to understand you. I had a manager that was from Russia and he spoke broken English. He didn’t like to repeat himself, but we couldn’t figure out what he was saying. To avoid embarrassment, the result was he transferred too another department. Ineffective communication skills can result in errors for a management. Ex. My educational trainer was telling me “that she needed to change my password in order for me to do my training on OSHA.” I told her “that she would have to contact national because I was the trainer on night shift before I came on day shift.” She totally ignored me and kept on doing the procedure to change my password. It still didn’t...

...The Code of Hammurabi The Code of Hammurabi, was established by Kind Hammurabi in 1750 B.C, then in 1901 it was discovered almost completely intact. This code has employed the concept of even punishments; “a eye for an eye” , a tooth for a tooth. Draco’s law The Draco’s Law was established in the year of 621 B.C., and “was named for a citizen of Greece who had been selected to write a code of law for Athens”. Under the Draco's law, “the penalty for many crimes was the death penalty”. The law was first written in Greece, and introduced the concept that the state is responsible for the punishments of the accused rather than private citizens. Law of the Twelve Tables The Law of Twelve Tables was established in the year of 450 B.C. This law “only had ten laws originally”, and two statutes were later added”. There were ten Roman men that had wrote the laws that were to govern the Romans. These laws has helped organize how crimes are punished. Also, these laws protected lower class citizens, and did not leave sole justice in the hands of the judge. Justinian Code The Justinian Code established in 529 A.D. and was founded by Justinian, the Emperor Of Byzantium. However, as of today, some of the legal maxims under this law are currently in use. Some modern concepts of justice came from the emperor’s name. This code formed the foundation of civil law. Magna Carta The Magna Carta had established under...

...Habits I certainly have quite a few quirky habits that consume my day; a lot are associated with my OCD. So, the question is, which habit should I write about for this paper? Like everyone, I have good habits as well as bad habits and habits that I just do because of my OCD. Although I have tried many times to break a lot of the bad habits, it is not so easy. One habit that I continually try to break, is smoking cigarettes. Unlike most, I am not addicted to the nicotine and I do not crave a cigarette unless I am drinking an alcoholic beverage. Hence, this is the habit that frustrates me the most. I do not wake up wanting a cigarette and I can run all day without having one or even thinking about one. To me this habit is strange. I would think smoking cigarettes becomes a habit because of the nicotine addiction, as for me it is only when I consume alcohol. I have gone weeks even months without a cigarette and of course I was not drinking during those times. Then I have an alcoholic drink and the urge to smoke a cigarette arises. I developed this habit in high school when a group of my friends started smoking and I tried one for the first time. At first I did not like the feeling and it actually made me feel quite sick. Now as I am writing this paper I cannot remember how the habit stuck. All I can remember is that I only want a cigarette when I drink. As far as this habit relating to my personality I am not quite sure. I have thoughts related to how it relates to my life but...

...Biological and Humanistic Approaches to Personality Theories of personalities have been studied for many decades. The biological and humanistic approaches to personality have both become infamous in studying the science behind personality. Abraham Maslow developed the hierarchy of needs because he did not believe that the conditioning theories adequately portrayed the complexity of human behavior. In analyzing both the biological and humanistic theories, one can see where Maslow may have been right in that assumption. The basic perceptions of humanistic and biological theories vary significantly. There are some basic ideas behind humanistic psychology. Humanists focus on the present rather than looking at the past or toward the future. Well individuals should take responsibility for themself; regardless of the actions and every individual possess inherent worth. Even negative actions do not negate the value of the person. The achievement of personal growth and understanding is the goal of life (Friedman & Schustack, 2012). On the other hand biological theorists believe that genetics can determine a person’s personality. Some concepts state that even if biology plays no direct role in personality, the way a person looks affects how one sees himself/herself and how others interrelate with him/her. This unintended affect controls how a person develops into adulthood. Biological viewpoints teach that intelligence and genes could define a person’s personality. Temperament and mental...

...Technology and the Benefits to Healthcare Shantelle Fajardo Dr. Harold Griffin HLT 520: Health Information Systems October 25, 2013 Strayer University, Loudoun Campus Technology Assessment The role of technology in healthcare plays a key part in how physicians treat illnesses and also how the method by which they diagnosis illness and disease. Technology is not limited to medical milestones through research and the creation of new drugs but also how people can obtain the information regarding medical procedures, receive medical care and information about living healthy lifestyles (Williams & Torrens, 2010). The most common concept that one considers is technology within the health care field is the research that creates life-saving medical procedures through surgery and medication. Large companies such as Pfizer, Merck, and other companies possess the abilities to fund ground breaking research in order to find cures for diseases like HIV/AIDS and many types of cancers or to help treat the ongoing symptoms. Their concept of technology also applies to the materials that many surgeons use during surgeries such as knee/hip prosthetics for knee and hip replacements. In the 1960s these types of surgeries were unheard of and have grown to a $600 market for the research and development to produce such devices through companies like Stryker (McGill, 1989). Significant technology Technology within the healthcare field is not merely limited to ground breaking research to...

...Human behavior is learned, plus all behaviors can be unlearned and new behaviors learned in its place. Behaviorist believe that the only things that are worth studying are things that we can see and observe. The research-based model for social and cognitive approaches specifies how an individual’s implicit theories direct them towards particular and specific goals and how these goals set up the different patterns. This shows an example of how each feature (cognitive, affective, and behavioral) of the adaptive and maladaptive patterns can be seen to follow directly from different goals. I am twenty two years old, over the last seven years of my life I have developed a nasty habit of smoking cigarettes. I have realized the fact that I am a true smoker when I started working at the age of sixteen, this only helped me develop my habit even worse when I started stressing about work at such an early age. I usually don’t like to point fingers and play the blame game over my own habits but I did have important role models in my life that influenced me on smoking cigarettes. These role models just so happen to be my two older brothers and both of my parents. It is really not their fault for my habit because every individual in life makes their own decisions. Not only my immediate family smokes but also my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. I would have to say this habit of smoking cigarettes has been a huge habit for my whole family tree, or at least since the...
