...Melondy Moore, Reshunna Robbins, Roxanne Luck, Shayna Parks 6/29/15 PSY-405 Patti Toler Roxanne - In this debate we are going to argue the applications of Melanie Klein’s Objection Relations Theory and Erik Erikson’s Post-Freudian Theory in regards to their describing of individual personality characteristics along with interpersonal relations. Team Klein will begin the debate: Jessica - On the positive aspects of Klein’s object theory on individual personality characteristics is how an infant’s experience can shape their future personality. One is the object of the breast, which later perceives total control and this drives satisfaction called the id. According to Burch (1988), “Good experiences or phantasies of the breast are split off from bad ones and internalized”. These experiences help shape the relationship with others in adulthood. Interpersonal relations with the object of the breast create love, comfort and gratification towards the mother, and others. A tendency to relate these feeling with others can create a good structure of positive relationships and fantasy-like quality of life. Team Erikson will now oppose: Melondy - Klein did face some criticism from others about her theory and the techniques that she used. She started her study by working with children but found out that this technique had its downfalls due to the fact that the children were limited in the verbal department and unable to communicate...

...continues to go on individuals’ have started having a sort of understanding when it comes to personality, however, there are still a lot of individuals’ who have their own personal opinion and put their own input in when it comes to these philosophies. Erich Fromm and Melanie Klein’s humanistic psychoanalysis are thought to be the best source of giving important responses. These two peoples’ responses have aided when it comes to the clarification as well as the abuse of certain behaviors and also what influences ones’ behavior. Objective Relation Theory by Melanie Klein Melanie Klein whom was a psychologist strongly believed with the importance of individual relations as well as individual connections. In support of ones’ individual connections and their behaviors, Klein communicated her Objective Relation Theory. The description of importance in ones’ first four to six months in the life of a child is the fundamental suggestion of Klein’s theory (Feist and Feist, 2009). According to Melanie Klein sex and hunger during ones’ childhood are pointed towards an item. By setting some sort of link between things, this will create a basis for a child to connect more to an item. Unfortunately, during Melanie Klein’s childhood she was not given the equal amount of affection...

...Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy – year three, module one ‘Can we ever leave the past behind? 3058 words Introduction In this essay, approaches from Object Relations Theory and Erik Erikson’s theory of Life Stages are examined. The approaches are applied to illustrative clinical material taken from a fictional character. In addition, the essay uses Michael Jacob’s model of ‘The Triangle of Insight’ to facilitate the treatment and the exchanges that occur in supervision. Elizabeth Pargetter[1] Eight months after the sudden death of her husband and business partner Nigel, in a tragic accident, Elizabeth Pargetter (neé Archer) presented at her first counselling session. Whilst still experiencing the agony of her loss, she said that things were now beginning to move on in some parts of life. Her bond with the children, 11 year old twins Lily and Freddie, was strong and, although sometimes sad, they were coping well. The business, Lower Loxley – a stately home and conference centre, was also thriving and, after some initial reluctance, Elizabeth said that she has now taken on some very capable staff who had known Nigel and shared with her the history of the family and Lower Loxley Hall. Elizabeth said that, whilst appearing outwardly to cope with the children and the business, there were areas in her life that were of great concern that she had not been able to talk to anyone about. She said...

...Explain which International Relations theory is best suited to conducting strategic insight? Introduction In this paper, I will give a brief overview about Strategic Intelligence and in the process define the key terms so that there is no ambiguity about the topic being examined. I will define the concepts of strategy, insight and strategic intelligence before moving on to analyze the need for an international relations theory for conducting strategic insight. The paper will then explain constructivism and why it is the most appropriate theory for carrying out strategic insight. Strategy The concept of strategy has been around for as long as there have been organizations and wars. Strategy is a method or plan chosen to bring about a desired future, such as achievement of a goal or solution to a problem. 1Strategy is also about achieving and sustaining a position of lead over rivals through the successive capitalization of known or developing possibilities rather than restricting to any specific fixed plan designed at the onset. It can be said that strategy becomes a central plan through which an organization can affirm its essential continuity while at the same time purposefully handling its adjustment to the changing environment to gain competitive superiority. Strategy can also be viewed as a response to external opportunities and threats and to internal strengths and weaknesses; a means of achieving a long range competitive advantage, and a favorable...

...Foreign Policy Module Summative Assessment Question 1: Foreign policy must be formulated in accordance with the national interest’. Evaluate this claim which is attributable to realist thinking on foreign policy. * * According to realist thinking on foreign policy, international relations and politics are formulated in accordance with national interest. This presupposes that the key actors in International Relations are sovereign states that behave similarly regardless of their type of government. As well, a state of anarchy is at the fundamental core of this argument and national interests of egoistic states as the main outward presence in international realm. Classic Realism, originally emerged from the European concert of aristocratic diplomacy. By evaluating this claim, this essay will reassert the position and importance of Offensive and Defensive Realism in our contemporary post 9/11 world. These are respectively neoclassical realism and neorealism. Firstly, a detailed account of realism will be produced highlighting the emergence of national interest as the fundamental feature or goal of sovereign states. This is done either through the maintenance of a status quo or aspiration of accumulating influence. It will be concluded that Defensive Realism or neorealism is the principal theoretical sub-school in according this claim any legitimacy. Secondly, a general evaluation of neorealism in post 9/11 world will be provided; and a comparison, and ultimately an...

...International Security Lecture 1 March 30th, 2015 The politics of security knowledge What is international security? We could start thinking about the security council of the UN But also about the invasion of Afghanistan (chapter 7 UN in order to secure the international security) We can also think about security in terms of the invasion of Iraq in 2003. This was a unilateral act of war, but sure it can also mean other things We can think of the national security agency, the agency in charge of spying all the signals and communications to a certain extent. What’s interesting about the NSA, it is seen as a threat to the security of the privacy. Lately, with the reports of the UN development programme, we start talking about HUMAN security (not military security, but rather the security of individuals, having a livelihood that’s acceptable). Whether security is international or not, it can be a rather confusing word The protection of values we hold dear. We search for it, we pursue it, we achieve it, we deny it to others. * what is to be secured? Is it the security of states? Or individuals? * What is the actual threat that we’re facing? Primarily to be dealing with military threats, or are there other types of threats we are facing.

There are 6 paths from b to f: (b, a, c, d, e, f), (b, c, d, e, f), (b, e, f), (b, a, c, d, e, g, f), (b, c, d, e, g, f), and (b, e, g, f) 11. Let G be a graph that satisfies the condition in Exercise 10. a) Must G be loop-free? b) Could G be a multigraph? c) If G has n vertices, can we determine how many edges it has? a) Yes, G must be loop-free because an edge is a bridge only if that edge is not contained in any cycles. A loop is a cycle. b) Yes, G can be a multi-graph. For example, the multi-graph in Figure 11.6 (pg. 518) becomes disconnected if we remove edge (c, e). This would leave two components of (a, b, c) and (d, e). c) Yes, G would have n – 1 edges for n vertices; the same vertex closes a graph and there is always a vertex at the start and end, which means there is one more vertex than an edge. 11.2 (520-528) 4. If G = (V, E) is an undirected graph, how many spanning subgraphs of G are also induced subgraphs? The undirected graph G = (V, E) has 2|E| spanning subgraphs, one for each subset of the edge set, and 2|V| induced subgraphs, one for each subset of the vertex set. 11.3 (530-537) 5.
