Hervey Cleckly and Psycopathic Behaviour
[ send me this paper ]
Hervey Cleckley (1941) wrote in The Mask of Insanity a plea for the public to try and understand a range of antisocial personality disorders that he referred to as psychotic for want of a better word. The definition of various high order psychotic disorders continues today, many giving credit to Cleckley for his original use of the word psychotic in a recognized and accepted treatise (Lively, 1998). With the categorization of high order psychotic behaviour, it would behoove society to take note of Cleckleys arguments. However, society continues to ignore his basic tenets that psychotic behavior is not clinically treatable. 4 References. jvCleckl.rtf

How Freud And Kinsey Conceptualized Human Sexuality
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. What appeared aberrant to Freud was a wholly natural component of human existence to Kinsey.

[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page book review of Howard Gardner's Extraordinary Minds (1997).

In his text Extraordinary Minds (1997), Gardner expands on his ideas concerning intelligence by taking a biographical approach and closely examining the lives of four people who exhibited extraordinary mental development: Mozart, Freud, Virginia Woolf and Gandhi (Weiss 45).

Inpatient Mental Health Services
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing mental health hospitalization. Hospitalization for mental health issues does not carry the social stigma it once did, but it still is not favored by insurance providers.

These patients have state hospitals available to them. Though state hospitals may not be as aesthetically pleasing or as discreet as private ones, they do offer quality care to those in need of it without the ability to pay for it.

Integrating Orems Self Care and Maslows Hierarchy of Needs

Joyce Milton/Road to Malpsychia
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page book review of Joyce Milton's The Road to Malpsychia. In the parlance of author Joyce Milton, "malpsychia" means "bad psychology" and this is precisely what her analysis of 1960's humanistic psychology addresses. Specifically, Milton argues that prevalent psychological theories and related ideas culminated in the counter-culture of the 1960s. Milton focuses specifically on the theories of psychologists Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers, but she also addresses the influence of LSD proponent Timothy Leary and his colleague Richard Alpert, as well as others. In short, this book offers a detailed and critical description of the evolution of humanistic psychology in the twentieth century, while also raising questions about the influence of psychology on societal mores and ideals. As this suggests, the author's purpose is to discredit the field of humanistic psychology--actually, psychology in general--where it serves to promote secular or humanistic interests. The writer disagrees with Milton's premise and argues against it. No additional sources cited.
