In the 1960s, following John Bolby’s article The Psychoanalytic Study of the Child, many psychoanalytic figures criticised his work. They claimed that attachment theory was “mechanic, nondynamic, and explicated according to thorough misunderstandings of psychoanalytic theory” (Fonagy, 2001, page 1, p2). Critiques felt that Bowlby treated his human subjects like animals, and used too many labels and categories when reporting on experiment results.
When examining the attachment theory today and, in particular, Mary Ainsworth’s Strange Situation experiment, it does appear that the critiques’ points were valid. The personalities and behaviours of human beings are extremely diverse, ...

Gilman devotes numerous journal entries to label the wallpaper in her room. She asserts that the wallpaper has a break-neck pattern, has a yellowish smell, and leaves yellowish patches on one’s hair, skin and attire if touched (Fleenor 287). Fleenor suggests that Gilman’s long stay in her room compels her to have a conviction that the patterns on her wallpaper are in constant mutation, especially at night times when it is shined upon by moonlight. The room becomes a symbol of repressive society since she is frightened by the whole experience in the room.
With determination to free the woman ...

In college rooms, it is typical to find one student reading while the other plays music. How is all ...

Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s The Yellow Wallpaper places a woman into an insane Victorian environment for the purpose of demonstrating the insanity of the insanity of the Victorian Woman.
