Carl Gustav Jung -- A Life Shaped by Women
[ send me this paper ]
Carl Gustav Jung -- A Life Shaped by Women: This 37-page essay details the life experiences of psychoanalyst, Carl Jung and the four women who left lasting impressions on this brilliant, often-tortured man and his work. Beginning with his mother, Emilie and recounting his marriage, one acknowledged mistress and one pivotal affair, Jung is shown to have had significant female influences that helped shape his critically acclaimed precepts. Yet, irrespective of his numerous infidelities, to many his ideology offers the promise of wholeness and meaning in a cosmic universe where -- perhaps -- only the mere prospect of salvation exists. Additionally, his relationship to mentor, Sigmund Freud is explored. Bibliography lists 15 sources. SNFemjun.doc

Carl Jung/Autobiography
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page analysis of chapter 4 from Jung's autobiography Memories, Dreams Reflections (1965). Carl Jung refers to this account of his life as "personal myth." He states that he considers it irrelevant as to whether or not the stories he relates are "true," but that he is concerned only with whether or not those stories relate "my fable, my truth" (p. 3). In the fourth chapter of this account, Jung offers a detailed look at his "Psychiatric Activities." However, considering the manner in which Jung introduces his account of his life, one has to question his intent in his summation of case studies, as his stated purpose is to relate details about himself. Therefore, this examination of chapter IV of Jung's book looks at the symbolic nature of these cases and what they inform the reader about Carl Jung. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Child Development Theories
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the grand and notable dichotomy in much of the psychological research surrounding child development. It would seem that many psychological researchers would fully discount any correlation between practical experience and empirical research. Increasingly, early theorists such as Rotter, Piaget, Montessori and Winnicott are being supported by the same empirical method that earlier condemned many of their theories as being invalid. The use of child development theories requires application of common sense as much as it does the empirical method, as this paper argues. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Cognitive Psychology: Prototype and Causal Based Theories of Category Formation
[ send me this paper ]
This is an 8 page paper comparing and contrasting the prototype and causal-based theories of category formation. In cognitive psychology, category formation is considered one of the most fundamental aspects of understanding mental representation. Within the area of category formation however, there are several theories which appear to conflict in some aspects. Two of these theories are the prototype theory of category formation and the causal theory of category formation. In the most basic sense, the prototype theory argues that individuals categorize items based on the typicality level of the objects in comparison with the “prototype” concept or image that an individual has. When new objects are encountered by an individual, a comparison of features based on prototypes takes place until that object is categorized. From a causal model theory perspective however, the categorization process also takes into account prior knowledge and theories of how the world works in addition to the causal relationships between features. Causal theorists find that the prototype theories base categorization from an independent and “probabilistic” viewpoint whereas individuals in fact use their causal knowledge in order to categorize and build relationships conceptually.

Comparing Sigmund Freud and Alfred Adler
[ send me this paper ]
This 8 page report discusses two of the most noted pioneers in the fields of psychoanalytic psychology. Sigmund Freud’s influence throughout the past century has served to shape a great deal of the attitudes and beliefs of Western society. But it is important to understand that Freud was not alone in his contribution to the realm of psychology and understanding the development of the human personality and spirit, as well as how people interact with one another. Alfred Adler (1870–1937) also proposed theories and ideas that have been incorporated in the mainstream of present-day theory and practice of psychology and psychopathology. This paper compares their points of view regarding a number of issues. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Compensation in Terms of Maslow
[ send me this paper ]
A 15 page paper discussing compensation and job analysis in terms of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. The paper provides a thorough discussion of each of Maslow’s five hierarchical levels to conclude that the organization that can remain cognizant of Maslow's hierarchy of needs when designing or altering its compensation schedules can expect to be better able to define levels at which its employees operate. Compensation certainly is a part of the total employment package, but it is not the largest part. According to Maslow, people seek to belong to the organization and then realize their own potential. When the employee is able to find this path at work, then the organization for which s/he works benefits as well. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Concepts and Analysis of Stephen J. Gould’s Essay “Dolly’s Fashion and Louis’s Passion”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing Gould’s essay “Dolly’s Fashion and Louis’s Passion”. Anthropologist Stephen J. Gould questions in his essay “Dolly’s Fashion and Louis’s Passion” (2000) man’s presumed need to always present components within the world in categories and dichotomies. He argues that human life is filled with such “foibles” and conflicts as firstly “our need to create order in a complex world begets our worst mental habit: dichotomy” and second that “many deep questions about our loves and livelihood, and fates of nations, truly have no answers”. One of the most prevalent dichotomies which seems to annoy Gould the most and which leads man down many false paths is that of the “nature versus nurture” debate; or the “genetic versus environmental sources of human abilities and behaviors”. The fact this question is always an “either-or dichotomy verges on the nonsensical” according to Gould. He then proceeds to highlight two particular modern readings in which the scientific perspective (nature) is presented but the environmental (nurture) perspective is ignored because of today’s preference for the scientific theory. Despite the current trend of today, Gould and some educators do not ignore the centuries of debate which have also discussed the nurture component and more importantly for Gould, readers should be aware that this debate (and others) should not be considered as “either-or”.

Developmental Psychology: Research on Adaptation
[ send me this paper ]
This is an 8 page paper discussing research on adaptation in developmental psychology. Within the field of psychology, adaptation describes “the process of change in organisms or species to accommodate to a particular environment, enabling their survival”. From a developmental, biological and sociological level, there are considered to be two main types of adaptive behavior: closed programs which basically are transmitted from generation to generation and remain relatively unchanged; and, open genetic programs which are greatly influenced from environmental factors (Gale, 2001). In addition, adaptation can be discussed in terms of individuals or in terms of how groups adapt to new environments. Often individual adaptation is studied in regards to the biological or physiological components which are carried from generation to generation and largely these factors are inflexible and remain relatively unchanged. However, there are many studies which examine how social or environmental factors can also affect adaptive behavior and increase the survival in new situations. These studies examine the cultural, family and socioeconomic relationships in groups and individuals and indicate that while initially some individuals may not be flexible or adaptive to new environments, positive adaptation factors such as strong culture bonds, strong family relationships and resilience can increase adaptability in individuals suggesting that individuals are flexible and can be highly adaptive in new environments; factors which increase their chance of survival. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
