You are a professor at a local college. One of the students in your class is clearly distraught. You notice this and mention that you hope everything is okay. The student tells you that his wife recently left him and he is having difficulty coping with the situation. You talk to him for a few minutes, then leave for your office. At the next class, the student tells you how much he appreciated your concern. He states that he understands that you are a psychologist and asks for your card. The next day, he calls your office for an appointment to see you.

One of the very first cases that caught Freud’s attention when he was starting to develop his psychoanalytic theory was that of Anna O, a patient of fellow psychiatrist Josef Breuer. Although Freud did not directly treat her, he did thoroughly analyze her case as he was fascinated by the fact that her hysteria was “cured” by Breuer. It is her case that he believes was the beginning of the psychoanalytic approach.

Through your analysis of this case, you will not only look deeper into Freud’s psychoanalytic theory but also see how Jung’s neo-psychoanalytic theory compares and contrasts with Freud’s theory.

Review the following:

The Case of Anna O.

One of the first cases that inspired Freud in the development of what would eventually become the Psychoanalytic Theory was the case of Anna O. Anna O. was actually a patient of one of Freud’s colleagues Josef Breuer. Using Breuer’s case notes, Freud was able to analyze the key facts of Anna O’s case.

Anna O. first developed her symptoms while she was taking care of her very ill father with whom she was extremely close. Some of her initial symptoms were loss of appetite to the extent of not eating, weakness, anemia, and development a severe nervous cough. Eventually she developed a severe optic headache and lost the ability to move her head, which then progressed into paralysis of both arms. Her symptoms were not solely physical as she would vacillate between a normal, mental state and a manic-type state in which she would become extremely agitated. There was even a notation of a time for which she hallucinated that the ribbons in her hair were snakes.

Toward the end of her father’s life she stopped speaking her native language of German and instead only spoke in English. A little over a year after she began taking care of her father he passed away. After his passing her symptoms grew to affect her vision, a loss of ability to focus her attention, more extreme hallucinations, and a number of suicidal attempts (Hurst, 1982).

 

Both Freud and Jung would acknowledge that unconscious processes are at work in this woman’s problems. However, they would come to different conclusions about the origin of these problems and the method by which she should be treated.

Research Freud’s and Jung’s theories of personality using your textbook, the Internet, and the Argosy University online library resources. Based on your research, respond to the following:

  • Compare and contrast Freud’s view of the unconscious with Jung’s view and apply this case example in your explanations.
  • On what specific points would they agree and disagree regarding the purpose and manifestation of the unconscious in the case of Anna?
  • How might they each approach the treatment of Anna? What might be those specific interventions? How might Anna experience these interventions considering her history?

Mental Disorders And Criminal Activities

/in /by

Please respond to EACH of the following discussion topics and submit them to the discussion forum as a single post. Your initial post should be 75-150 words in length. Then, make at least two thoughtful responses to your fellow students’ posts.

 

Question A

 

A variety of mental disorders have been linked to criminal activities.

 

Discuss whether criminals who have been deemed mentally ill should be incarcerated for their offenses or be housed in a mental health facility.

 

Is it appropriate to incarcerate someone with a mental illness?

 

Are they “getting away” with the crime if they are housed in a mental health facility instead of a prison?

 

Question B

 

Discuss and examine the career and life of Robert Downey, Jr.  Downey, a renowned actor, had a serious addiction to drugs.

 

Has Downey been labeled as an addict or a criminal?

 

To what extent was labeling theory a factor in Downey’s judicial processing… his treatment, and his professional career?

 

What elements of social process theory apply to Downey’s situation?

 

Consider the same questions as they pertain to Lindsey Lohan’s alcohol and drug addictions.

 

 

This is only a 75 word paper answer both questions.
