My personality type, according to Jung’s and Myers’ theories of personality types, is extraverted, sensing, thinking, and perceiving (ESTP). People of this type tend to be unpredictable, casual, and energetic. As well as other people belonging to sensing and perceiving type, ESTPs receive profound pleasure from playing on their instincts, feelings, and impulses. ESTP people enjoy the activities which are associated with the challenge, great speed, adventure, power, and risk. If an ESTP’s impulses have to be hidden for a long time, such person will eventually start feeling “dead on ...

The psychoanalytic theory of personality was developed by Sigmund Freud in the late 19th century, and has developed since then into a mode of investigation that uses the interactions between the conscious and unconscious mind as a framework to determine the source of psychological attributes and problems (Lazarus et al., 2014). In essence, this theory of personality dictates that human behavior is often irrational and governed by subconscious forces that cannot be strictly controlled. By investigating these impulses and the motivations behind them, it is possible to better understand ourselves and address our potential issues. The way psychoanalysis is ...

Introduction

Every day we learn about new facts of violence around the world. The statistics show the high frequency of murder occurrence based on ill-treatment, and in everyday life we often become witnesses of angry accusations or shouting. Harmful behavior of another human is always perceived as evil from the point of philosophical and moral aspects. Yet history is full of examples of aggressive behavior not only of individuals but also of entire nations. Why do people tend to deliberately cause suffering to another? Why are there conflicts, accompanied by outbursts of anger and evil cries? These questions do not ...

Mechanics function of the spine

The human body is meticulously designed with a complex and specialized skeletal system that helps not only provide support and structure for the body but enhances motion and stability. The spinal cord is the extension of the brain and it forms an essential part of the central nervous system. As people age the mechanics of the body are altered (NiosiOxland 2004). Degenerative processes are inevitable and as such, the facet joints, discs and vertebrae are affected. These degenerative issues of the spine include the degenerative disc disease, which is well known; others include Slipped discs, Spinal stenosis Osteoarthritis and ...

A sexual offender is a person who has committed a sex crime, which is punishable by law. Sex crimes, on the other hand, are determined by a particular area’s laws and jurisdiction and they determine whether a person’s actions fall under sexual offense or otherwise. In many countries, sex crimes are in fact major crimes which are kept side by side with other crimes like physical assault or breaking traffic rules. While some crimes committed by sex offenders are strictly sexual in nature, others might be those that are a violation of those who are chosen by ...

Introduction

The issues of whether or not to treat juveniles or minors the same ways as adults when they commit a crime is a delicate one and has been debated for decades. Many authoritative figures believe they should be treated in a similar manner. However, there are many researchers that feel differently, believing that charging a child with what many consider an “adult crime” could affect the rest of their life and leave them with no hope of redemption. When making such a life-changing decision a judge or jury should already understand the social, biological, and psychological factors that differ ...

Vestibular Projections

Vestibular projections in the central nervous system consist of vestibular end organs which communicate with the brain stem and the cerebellum via the vestibular branch of the eighth cranial nerve. These nerves are also connected to the auditory fibers. Thus damage caused to these structures can cause both vestibular and auditory disturbances. The vital function of the vestibular system is to coordinate head and eye movements. The ability of the eye to stay focused on an object even while the head is moving is brought about by the vestibular system.

Vestibular Cochlear Nerve

The vestibulo cochlear nerve or the auditory nerve is ...

(Author Name) (Course Name/Number) The human brain is simply fascinating, and although it is at the very core of all human reasoning, intellect, and ability, it is still largely unexplored and misunderstood. The physical and social sciences have collaboratively conducted hundreds, if not thousands, of studies aimed at understanding the connection between the brain and human behavior, but even more interesting are the physiological processes that are intertwined to create a roadmap of human behavior, response, and consciousness that drives our very existence. These physiological processes are comprised of nervous systems functions, sensory system functions, and brain functions, which ...

Introduction

Self-control has been identified has the single, most basic differentiating characteristic that separates human beings from the animal species. In psychological circles as well as in past research on the subject, the term has been used interchangeably with self-regulation and behavioral regulation . Before examining the details of how and why this aspect of human behavior is crucial in ensuring that people are able to lead normal lives, it is important to understand the boundaries of the concept in itself. In the simplest of terms, self-regulated behavior is an individual’s ability to suppress their immediate impulses instead of acting ...

The human brain is the most complex part of the human body that is very hard to understand. Our brains behave in a way that neuroscientists and psychologists have never understood. Its ability to control body functions and consciousness is one of the most challenging section that these individuals are still struggling to figure out. The human brain capacity of 1350 cc and it is made up of a very complex network of neurons that develop during the last three months of development (The Function of the Human Brain, 2016). The way we perceive the world around us is ...

A. The human cerebral cortex is divided into three main areas: sensory, motor and associated areas (Association Cortex, 2016). Sensory areas belong to the peripheral nervous system. They extend from the spinal cord to the receptor cells located in all parts of the body. The primary function of sensory area to carry impulses from the receptor cells to the brain for interpretation. These impulses can be those of sensations like touch, pain, smell, taste and sight. The motor area or the primary motor cortex is located in the interior part of the brain at the central sulcus. Its pyramidal ...

A. An anticholinergic is a drug used in the treatment of diseases such as asthma, muscular spasms, insomnia and gastrointestinal cramps (Healthline, 2016). The drug is also used with anesthetics as it inhibits the action of parasympathetic nerve impulses by preventing acetylcholine reaching the receptor cells of nerve impulses. This may lead to memory loss, confusion, drowsiness and even sedation. These effects are more pronounced in old-aged people. Loss of muscular strength and fainting is a symptom which could be seen in the patient. Use of anticholinergic drugs is not recommended for patients with conditions like glaucoma, hyperthyroidism, heart ...

The researcher was keen on creating an intense psychological conflict in the children. The children spent fifteen minutes in ...

I would like to see the movie "The Great Gatsby", filmed in 1974 by the director named Jack Clayton from the standpoint of psychoanalysis ("The Great Gatsby (1974)"). I will consider the film through the prism of the basic tenets of the theory, developed by the Austrian neurologist Sigmund Freud. I will make out a few key points that define psychoanalysis as a theory and show how these postulates are related to the main character of the book by Francis Scott Fitzgerald and Jack Clayton’s film, Jay Gatsby. Immediately, it should be noted that this film is not ...

A neuron is a specialized type of cell that helps in impulse conduction in the body. It is a basic unit of communication in the body. It receives and initiates the information reception and transmission to all parts of the body. The structure of the neuron is made of several parts that include dendrites, Soma (cell body), nucleus, cell membrane, axon, myelin sheath, a node of Ranvier and terminal Buttons or axon terminal (Marieb, 2004). The figure below shows the structure of the neuron. Figure 1: structure of neuron (Shonkoff & Phillips, 2010). For neural impulse to occur, the stimulus ...

Abstract

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a syndrome, the causes of which rarely lie on the surface. It is characterized by obsessive thoughts (obsessions), for which a person responds with certain actions (compulsions). Obsession is a thought or desire that constantly emerges in the mind. It is difficult to control this thought or get rid of it, and it causes a lot of stress. In this paper I would like to tell what is obsessive-compulsive disorder, by what factors it may be caused, reasons of its appearance, what factors contribute to the development of this disease and how it is treated.

Freud's Account of Human Sexuality and Human Desire

Basically, psychoanalysis and Freud's theories are associated with his theory of sexuality, considering that he regarded all aspects of human life (i.e. beginning with a simple mental disorder up to religious doctrines), as the sexual problems. This comic effect arises also because the question of what Freud used to call sexuality remains outside the attention. If one examines the issue of human sexuality in the works of Freud in detail, the work of sensual sphere and sphere of desires becomes evident. The phenomenon of Freud, the author of the doctrine of psychoanalysis, is that he was the first to ...

Introduction:

The therapeutic goals of play therapy within child counseling are to establish a basis upon which non-verbal psychological processes can be better understood and to enhance the capacity of the therapeutic counselor to provide effective treatment to those that they are working with. The way in which these treatments are developed can have a profound impact on the underlying capacity of the counselor to establish an emotion-based relationship with the child that they are trying to help. The therapeutic process by which this is done is through counseling sessions between professional play therapists and children who are believed to ...
