At first only a few of the characters seem to have some psychiatric illnesses but as we go on we can see that each and everyone has a certain psychiatric illness. Lester and Carolyn Burnham are on the outside, a perfect husband and wife. Lester Burnham's wife Carolyn, who's cheating on him, hates him.His daughter Jane regards him with contempt, and his boss wants Lester to quit his job as he finds Lester of no importance. When one has got nothing to lose, one might as well risk everything. Provoked by pitiful life he had, Lester decides to make a few changes in his life to keep his spirits high. The freer he gets, the happier he gets, which troubles his wife. Fantasies begin after he develops the feeling of lust towards Jane’s beautiful friend Angela. But Lester Burnham is about to learn that the ultimate freedom comes at the ultimate price. Meanwhile, his daughter Jane develops a friendship with a shy new neighbour named Ricky, who lives with a homophobic father. At first Lester seems to be very patient. He bears everything his wife tells him. He's identified as an under-performer at the office and they want to dump him . He's sexually frustrated but tries to be peaceful. But when things finally seem out of control he becomes rebellious. He smashes his plate on the wall. He even tells his wife “You don't get to tell me what to do ever again!”. This is when he periodically gets out of the passive mode and speaks against his dominant and egoistic wife. This shows that he has a Passive Aggressive disorder. His wife Carolyn is a real estate sales woman who is very ambitious. She is a very materialistic, impatient and self centered lady. She doesn’t take into account the feelings of anyone, neither her daughter nor her husband. She wants everything to look perfect. She gets irritated if anything looks shabby. She portrays a Narcisstic type of disorder. His daughter Jane hates her father and herself. She is disturbed with what’s going on between her parents and her father’s lust towards her friend. She gets embarrassed over her father falling for her best friend who is of her same age. She admits herself that her dad causes a massive psychological damage on her. She has a borderline disorder as she feels that she is the victim of her parents and they don't understand her. Angela also possess Narcisstic type of disorder. She believes that she is born to be a star and nothing seems to upset her than being ordinary. She loves to get attention and defames those who don't think she's awesome. She gets hurt when Jane’s boyfriend tells her that she’s not beautiful and she’s just ordinary. She lies about her bed performance in order to impress Jane. After being praised by Lester that she’s very beautiful and she isn’t ordinary she decides to go to bed with him. Later she reveals the fact that she’s still a virgin and really gets embarrassed about it. Ricky Fitts is obsessed with videotaping almost all things. He finds beauty in things that he videotapes. He wears strange clothes.He did a strange kind of declaration of love to Jane. He is not like other people of his military academy.He also has an aggressive over-reaction to bullying which caused him problems. He doesn't seem to realize the distance between the videos he captures and the real people in his environment. He portrays Schizotypical disorder. Similarly Brad who is Lester’s boss has Narcissistic disorder. He wants to get rid of slow worker Lester. He even tries to decide who is important and who is not important in the office. He doesn’t look into the fact that Lester has worked there for a long period of time. Ricky's mom Barbara Fittz has an Avoidant disorder. She stays in home all the time and becomes very cautious when her son leaves the house.She is not very social but she seems to have a mild social phobia. Fittz who is Ricky’s dad is a protagonist with an exceptionally large gun stock. Fittz gets angry because his son 'has no respect for authority'. He is physically violent and wants his son to respect his authority. Since he was in the marine he’s very strict about rules and regulations. He also projects his unconscious fear of being gay on his son. He believes it is necessary to be disciplined. He periodically checks his son for drugs. He says he would rather wish his son death than gay. However in the end he turns out to be a gay himself. Fittz shows a paranoid disorder.He is a homophobic as well. Kane displays Narcissistic disorder. He pretends to be very successful. He even tells Carolyn that in order to look successful one should project the image of success. But he’s not happy deep inside and feels alone. He calls himself 'the King' in the bed scene to make it seem that he is superior to others.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[American Psychological Association]]></category> <link>https://www.psychologyschoolsu.com/AmericanPsychologicalAssociation/american-beauty-psychological-analysis</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.psychologyschoolsu.com/AmericanPsychologicalAssociation/american-beauty-psychological-analysis</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 21 Oct 2025 05:42:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Winnie the Pooh characters Psychological disorders</title> <description>It's time to take a journey through the Hundred Acre Woods with our favorite bear, Winnie the Pooh.

All the Characters Represent Disorders Pooh According to the Canadian Medical Association, each Winnie the Pooh character symbolizes a certain mental disorder. The following is a list of mental disorders that each character supposedly has. Winnie the Pooh: Suffers from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, impulsitivity to obsessive fixations, and obsessive compulsive disorder. Pooh is obsessed with honey, and often goes through great lengths to get it. He also expresses OCD by his repetitive counting. The theory also states that he may develop Tourette's syndrome later on in life, because he was diagnosed with both OCD and ADHD. Piglet: It is believed that he suffers from Generalized Anxiety Disorder. The theory states that he may have suffered from an injury that crippled his self-esteem, and that his stuttering problem most likely developed from said injury. Owl: Dyslexia. Even though he's shown as being exceptionally bright, it's shown that he has trouble reading. That is going to end well... An example would be in Pooh's Grand Adventure when he mistook the word school for "skull." Tigger : He suffers from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Tigger's always seen bouncing and can never stay in one place for a long period of time. Kanga : Social Anxiety Disorder. She is very overprotective of her son, and she would never let her son make his own decisions because of her overprotectiveness. Roo : Autism Spectrum Disorder. He lacks awareness of danger and has a strange attachment to sitting in his mother's pouch. Rabbit: Rabbit suffers from Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). He is very orderly and obsessive, and the theory also questions his sexual orientation due to his feminine behavior. Eeyore : Not surprisingly, he suffers from Depressive Disorder. He always has a bleak outlook on life, and never feels any positive emotions like happiness and excitement. Christopher Robin: Lastly, Christopher Robin himself suffers from Schizophrenia. It is believed that all the 06:55 Mental Disorders of the Winnie the Pooh Characters characters from above are manifested depending on Christopher's mood.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Psychological Disorders]]></category> <link>https://www.psychologyschoolsu.com/PsychologicalDisorders/winnie-the-pooh-characters-psychological-disorders</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.psychologyschoolsu.com/PsychologicalDisorders/winnie-the-pooh-characters-psychological-disorders</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 15 Oct 2025 05:42:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Psychology degree Salary</title> <description>Psychiatrists and psychologists require doctoral training and must be licensed.

Creatas Images/Creatas/Getty Images There are three levels of education for psychology students: bachelor's degree, master's degree and doctorate. In most cases, the pay rate for those with a bachelor's degree in psychology is not different than any other bachelor's degree. For those who want to work as a counselor or therapist, some graduate work is required for most positions. Undergraduate Entry-Level Positions Depending on the job and the organization, pay rates for psychology students entering the workforce with an undergraduate degree can typically range from minimum wage to $50, 000 per year. Many low-paying jobs like retail sales or entry-level administrative jobs can quickly lead to better positions once you have some experience in addition to a degree; however, these positions seldom specify a psychology degree as a requirement. Other positions that are directly related to a psychology degree can pay better. For example, the median salary for a social worker in 2010, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, was $42, 480. Those working in human resources in 2010 earned median salaries of $52, 690. Undergraduate Positions with Experience With a bachelor's degree in psychology, once you have a year or two of experience under your belt, you will begin to qualify for management positions within many organizations. For example, administrative management positions in 2010 had a median salary of $77, 890, as determined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Higher-level management positions, like top executives, are also within sight of psychology graduates with some business training. Executive positions in 2010 paid a median salary of $101, 250. Other courses related to your field, such as business or finance, can be beneficial in addition to a bachelor's degree in psychology. Related Reading: Pay Rate for a Counselor Master's Degree Although the title "psychologist" is limited to licensed individuals who usually have doctoral training, individuals with a master's degree in psychology are qualified to work in many fields as counselors, researchers and analysts. A master's degree in psychology can qualify you as a school counselor, which in 2010 paid a median income of $53, 380, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Those interested in human resources, marketing and advertising can also benefit from a master's degree. Doctorate Degree The median income of a psychologist who was licensed and held a doctorate degree in 2010 was $68, 640, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The median salary for industrial-organizational psychologists was $87, 330. The median salary for clinical, counseling and school psychologists was $66, 810. Even within these groups there is a wide variance. The top 10 percent of earners who were psychologists in 2010 made more than $111, 810, while the bottom 10 percent made less than $39, 200. Psychiatrists who hold a medical degree in addition to a doctorate in psychology earned a median income of $200, 694 that year.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Psychology Degree]]></category> <link>https://www.psychologyschoolsu.com/PsychologyDegree/psychology-degree-salary</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.psychologyschoolsu.com/PsychologyDegree/psychology-degree-salary</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 09 Oct 2025 05:38:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Forensic Psychology Undergraduate Programs</title> <description>Forensic psychology is where the practices of psychology and law meet.

It is also a profession that has received a lot of attention over the past several years, due to the tremendous popularity of procedural-based movies and television series. Anyone interested in a career as a forensic psychologist, however, has to distinguish between fact and fiction, and determine the answers to several questions: How does the practice of forensic psychology differ from that of clinical psychology? What are the academic choices leading to a successful forensic psychology practice? What is the employment outlook for the forensic psychology field? This “how to become” guide introduces forensic psychology, with useful information regarding educational requirements, forecasts for employment and job growth, and some suggested career steps for forensic psychologists. Tools are provided to search for educational options and salary comparisons across the country. Search Forensic Psychology Degree Programs What Does a Forensic Psychologist Do? In general, forensic psychologists focus on the application of psychological theory and practice to the criminal, court and corrections systems. They frequently work directly with prosecutors and defense attorneys in the analysis of the behavior of individuals charged with crimes, the preparation of criminal cases, and by testifying in court as expert witnesses. Forensic psychologists are often employed in jails and prisons, providing rehabilitative treatment and education to inmates in preparation for their release and return to the outside world. Forensic psychology professionals are also sometimes hired by police departments as consultants and profilers during criminal investigations. Finally, forensic psychologists conduct research on criminal behavior and the development of effective clinical treatments. The Steps: Become a Forensic Psychologist Earn a Bachelor's Degree Among the paths one can take to become a forensic psychologist, the starting point is the same: earning a bachelor's degree from a fully accredited college or university. When deciding on a school, it is essential to keep in mind that a bachelor's degree is only the first step in the educational journey. A common course of action on the undergraduate level is to major in psychology with a minor in criminal justice, criminology or pre-law. An alternative is to major in a law subject and minor in psychology, but some graduate schools only accept candidates with a bachelor's degree in psychology. A limited number of colleges may offer an undergraduate program in psychology that focuses on forensic psychology, with studies in the legal aspects of the field. A bachelor's degree does not guarantee acceptance into a graduate program. Students are advised to strive for the highest GPA possible while also preparing for any graduate school prerequisites and admissions requirements. Psychology students need to do extensive research to determine their career goals and the best academic route to achieve them. Pursue a Master's Degree (if required) Certain doctoral programs accept students with only a bachelor's degree, if the academic background is appropriate for psychology. Other doctoral programs require that applicants hold master's degrees or earn them during their studies. Students who end their studies with a master's degree may explore related occupations, such as psychologist assistant or researcher, but those pursuing careers as forensic psychologists should complete doctoral degree programs. Master's degree programs may cover subjects such as forensic psychology from a community perspective, applications in mental health settings, program planning and evaluation in the field, and the interface between psychology and the legal system. A master's degree program may take about two years of full-time study, although this depends on students' availability and their projects to gain experience in the field.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Forensic Psychology]]></category> <link>https://www.psychologyschoolsu.com/ForensicPsychology/forensic-psychology-undergraduate-programs</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.psychologyschoolsu.com/ForensicPsychology/forensic-psychology-undergraduate-programs</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 03 Oct 2025 05:23:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Behavioral Psychology Associates</title> <description>I took my daughter to see Christine Digangi last spring.

When I called Behavioral Psychology Associates, we got an appointment for a few days later. After we met with her, Christine suggested we meet up once a week for eight weeks or so to work on my daughter's issue. When I called the next day to set up these appointments, Christine was only able to fit us in two times in eight weeks. I was incredibly disappointed as that would not help my 4 year old daughter overcome her issue. When I brought the lack of availably in her calendar to Christine's attention, she did not provide much help to resolve the issue. Therefore, I had to go search out another social worker/psychologist to work with my daughter. I strongly feel that this social worker should NOT have accepted new clients if she did not have the availability in her calendar to see them for the amount of time she suggests (or even half that). Not only did I have to spend a lot of money for the initial visits (one for me and one for my daughter), I then had to put my young daughter through the confusion and stress of going to see another social worker. If you make an appointment with her, I would strongly recommend making several appointments so you don't go through what we went through. People who need to see a social worker are going through a difficult period and I do not want to see anyone else waste their time and money as we did.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[American Psychological Association]]></category> <link>https://www.psychologyschoolsu.com/AmericanPsychologicalAssociation/behavioral-psychology-associates</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.psychologyschoolsu.com/AmericanPsychologicalAssociation/behavioral-psychology-associates</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 27 Sep 2025 05:22:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Associationist Psychology</title> <description>Association General psychological principle linked with the phenomena of recollection or memory .

The principle originally stated that the act of remembering or recalling any past experience would also bring to the fore other events or experiences that had become related, in one or more specific ways, to the experience being remembered. Over time the application of this principle was expanded to cover almost everything that could happen in mental life except original sensations. As a result, associationism became a theoretical view embracing the whole of psychology . The concept of an “association of ideas” was first used by English philosopher John Locke in (1690). Scottish philosopher David Hume maintained in (1739) that the essential forms of association were by resemblance, by contiguity in time or place, and by cause and effect. James, WilliamCourtesy of the Harvard University News ServiceIn (1890), American philosopher and psychologist William James shifted emphasis away from an association of ideas to an association of central nervous processes caused by overlapping or immediately successive stimuli. In 1903 Russian physiologist Ivan P. Pavlov theorized that all behaviour could be derived from original and conditioned reflexes. The conditioned-reflex theories and many of the behaviourist theories in the early 20th century stemmed from an association psychology of behaviour, meaning that they were subject to the same criticisms levied against those doctrines of the association of ideas. American psychologist Edward L. Thorndike , for example, showed that mere repetition does little or nothing to establish connections between stimulus and response. Some researchers alleged a direct effect of knowledge of results, while others, such as American psychologist Clark L. Hull (, 1943), produced a complete account of learning based upon need reduction—that is, reducing the strength of the drive linking stimulus and response under various experimental conditions. While these thinkers did not demand the rejection of associationist principles, they did argue for a more conservative application of such principles. There were some, however, such as the Gestalt psychologists, who called for a total rejection of associationism so far as higher mental processes were concerned. Associationist theories as all-embracing explanatory principles in psychology have received considerable criticism. Currently very few, if any, psychologists accord these theories the range and power once claimed for them. Many will agree, however, that association remains an important and effective principle that is active in all instances of learning through accumulated experience.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[American Psychological Association]]></category> <link>https://www.psychologyschoolsu.com/AmericanPsychologicalAssociation/associationist-psychology</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.psychologyschoolsu.com/AmericanPsychologicalAssociation/associationist-psychology</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 21 Sep 2025 05:22:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Bachelor degree Psychology</title> <description>If you think that a bachelor's degree in psychology might be the right choice for you, it is important to learn about some of the educational requirements.

Exact requirements can vary considerably from one program to another, but most programs require students to complete a number of general education courses, core psychology courses, and psychology electives. Some of the commonly required core psychology courses include general psychology, statistics, experimental psychology and personality psychology. Once you determine that a bachelor's in psychology might be a good choice for you, it is important to start planning early. If you are still in high school, take any psychology courses that your school offers in addition to other science classes. As you begin college, take note of the classes you will need to take to graduate. Develop a four-year course schedule to ensure that you complete all of the required classes as well as any electives that you wish to take. A typical four-year course plan for a bachelor's degree in psychology might look a bit like this: Year 1 Fall Semester: Introduction to psychology, English literature, speech, math and life science (i.e. biology, zoology, botany, etc.). Spring Semester: Developmental psychology, careers in psychology, history, English literature and life science. Year 2 Fall Semester: Personality psychology, abnormal psychology, government and one or two electives. Spring Semester: Psychological testing and measurement, biopsychology, statistics and two electives or general education courses. Year 3 Year 4 Fall Semester: History of psychology, senior seminar courses, research courses and any required course you still need to take to complete the program. Spring Semester: Psychology electives, advanced level topics or clinical practicum courses that you would still like to take before graduating.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Psychology Degree]]></category> <link>https://www.psychologyschoolsu.com/PsychologyDegree/bachelor-degree-psychology</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.psychologyschoolsu.com/PsychologyDegree/bachelor-degree-psychology</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 15 Sep 2025 05:21:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Psychology and Counseling Associates</title> <description>The information in Psychology Today's directory is provided exclusively by participating therapists.

After being told about these psychology studies, generations of psychology students have wandered out into the world seeing themselves and other people in a new light. In this series of posts I look at ten studies that have changed psychology and the way we see humanity: “What do babies understand about the world and how can you possibly find out, given that babies are not so hot on answering complex questions about their perceptual abilities?” “It’s not just Miller who was persecuted by this number though, it’s all of us. What this magical number represents – 7 plus or minus 2 – is the number of items we can hold in our short-term memory.” “It seems incredible that a successful form of psychological therapy could be based on telling people their thoughts are mistaken. And yet that is partly how cognitive therapy works.” “Imagine it’s the 1960s and you’re a first year psychology student at the University of Minnesota. Being a brave soul, along with wanting a better final grade, you’ve agreed to take part in a psychology experiment. You’ve heard that it involves testing a new vitamin injection but that hasn’t put you off.” “It was Fechner who, with the publication of his masterwork Elements of Psychophysics in 1860, is often credited with helping to found experimental psychology (Fechner, 1860). Strange, really, for a man who set out to prove plants have souls.” “What psychological experiment could so be so powerful that simply taking part might change your view of yourself and human nature? What experimental procedure could provoke some people to profuse sweating and trembling, leaving 10% extremely upset, while others broke into unexplained hysterical laughter?” “…we examine the quality of our memories, in particular the ways in which memory can be changed after the event we are remembering. The work of Elizabeth Loftus has been extremely influential in this area as one of her early studies demonstrates.” “…what can psychologists tell us about the systematic differences between people? To answer this question I have to break the pattern just this once and include two studies, from two apparently warring factions of personality psychology.” “Would you bet £10 on the flip of a coin if you stood to win £20? So you’ve got a 50% chance of losing £10 and a 50% chance of winning £20. This seems like a good bet to take and yet studies show that people tend not to take it. Why?”</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Psychology Research]]></category> <link>https://www.psychologyschoolsu.com/PsychologyResearch/research-studies-in-psychology</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.psychologyschoolsu.com/PsychologyResearch/research-studies-in-psychology</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 26 Jul 2025 09:25:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> </channel></rss>If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:
