HECHT ., A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN ENGLISH 3 2 tJLf;;.../f;).. I UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 1994 ABSTRACT Otto Rank, more than just psychologist, psychiatrist, and psychoanalyst, was a compassionate human being. The humanity reflected in his work is the subject of this dissertation and I have shown how his ideas can illuminate historical figures and fictional characters in literature and film. Chapter one examines Rank's "fine line" in order to outline the difficult path that all must travel in life, and some of the methods that are chosen to cope with experience. To Rank, this is a balancing act between acts of creative will and choices influenced by anxiety, guilt, and fear of life and death. Rank claims that the only vital factor in life is the human factor and that human understanding is more important than intellectual knowledge, because it is emotional and cannot be programmed. -
From Internalizing to Externalizing: Theoretical Models of the Processes Linking Ptsd to Juvenile Delinquency
In: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder ISBN 978-1-61668-526-3 Editor: Sylvia J. Egan, pp. © 2010 Nova Science Publishers, Inc. Chapter 2 FROM INTERNALIZING TO EXTERNALIZING: THEORETICAL MODELS OF THE PROCESSES LINKING PTSD TO JUVENILE DELINQUENCY Patricia K. Kerig1 and Stephen P. Becker2 1University of Utah, USA 2Miami University, Ohio, USA ABSTRACT In recent years, increasing attention has been drawn to a population previously overlooked in studies of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and that is youth involved with the juvenile justice system. Although prevalence rates vary, recent studies reveal that as many as 32% of boys and 52% of girls in detention settings meet DSM-IV criteria for a diagnosis of PTSD (see Kerig & Becker, in press, for a review). However, given that this area of research is relatively new, few studies to date have gone beyond the documentation of prevalence rates to examine the underlying processes that might account for the link between trauma and severe forms of antisocial behavior. The present chapter describes the prevailing theoretical models of the developmental psychopathology of trauma and delinquency and reviews the existing empirical evidence in support of their suppositions. Models discussed include those focusing on emotion processing (e.g., affect dysregulation, emotional numbing, emotion recognition deficits); cognitive processes (e.g., hostile attributions, stigma, alienation); interpersonal processes (e.g., traumatic bonding, antisocial peers); as well as integrative models, including attachment theory and the trauma coping model. 2 Patricia K. Kerig and Stephen P. Becker TRAUMA EXPOSURE, PTSD, AND DELINQUENCY A large body of literature attests to the fact that youth in detention settings have been exposed to significant levels of trauma. -

Gaslighting, Misogyny, and Psychological Oppression Cynthia A
The Monist, 2019, 102, 221–235 doi: 10.1093/monist/onz007 Article Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/monist/article-abstract/102/2/221/5374582 by University of Utah user on 11 March 2019 Gaslighting, Misogyny, and Psychological Oppression Cynthia A. Stark* ABSTRACT This paper develops a notion of manipulative gaslighting, which is designed to capture something not captured by epistemic gaslighting, namely the intent to undermine women by denying their testimony about harms done to them by men. Manipulative gaslighting, I propose, consists in getting someone to doubt her testimony by challeng- ing its credibility using two tactics: “sidestepping” (dodging evidence that supports her testimony) and “displacing” (attributing to her cognitive or characterological defects). I explain how manipulative gaslighting is distinct from (mere) reasonable disagree- ment, with which it is sometimes confused. I also argue for three further claims: that manipulative gaslighting is a method of enacting misogyny, that it is often a collective phenomenon, and, as collective, qualifies as a mode of psychological oppression. The term “gaslighting” has recently entered the philosophical lexicon. The literature on gaslighting has two strands. In one, gaslighting is characterized as a form of testi- monial injustice. As such, it is a distinctively epistemic injustice that wrongs persons primarily as knowers.1 Gaslighting occurs when someone denies, on the basis of another’s social identity, her testimony about a harm or wrong done to her.2 In the other strand, gaslighting is described as a form of wrongful manipulation and, indeed, a form of emotional abuse. This use follows the use of “gaslighting” in therapeutic practice.3 On this account, the aim of gaslighting is to get another to see her own plausible perceptions, beliefs, or memories as groundless.4 In what follows, I develop a notion of manipulative gaslighting, which I believe is necessary to capture a social phenomenon not accounted for by epistemic gaslight- ing. -
Inferiority Complex
www.bsmi.org INFERIORITY COMPLEX Prevention in Children and Relief from It in Adults Timothy Lin, Ph.D. Everyone starts life with some feelings of inferiority. Subsequent success or failure is determined by the ability to adjust the inferiority feeling to the demands of life. Normal development requires the recognition of one’s limitations and capacities in order to achieve a profitable balance in emotional maturity. The inferiority complex is different from the inferior feeling of which the former is the master but the latter can become a servant to the individual. As a master, the complex may cause a person to have ultimate failure and maladjustment; as a servant, the feeling may produce success in achieving valuable goals in life. No one succeeds without some inferior feeling and almost everyone who fails does so because of an inferiority complex. We will see the serious nature of an inferiority complex by considering the nature, the manifestations, and the cure. Nature The nature of the inferiority complex includes definition, distinction from the superiority complex, and causes. Inferiority complex may be defined as: An abnormal or pathological state which, due to the tendency of the complex to draw unrelated ideas into itself, leads the individual to depreciate himself, to become unduly sensitive, to be too eager for praise and flattery, and to adopt a derogatory attitude toward others.1 This definition is the basis of the following discussion. How to Distinguish from a Superiority Complex: The genuine superiority complex is not superficial conceit but the consciousness of superiority developed from the feeling of personal cleverness, ability superior to their peers, and easy accomplishment of difficult tasks. -

You may find that you run 5-10 minutes longer on the first session depending on how long it takes to gather the assessment information. I have indicated how long you should spend on each section in the session. If you stay within these guidelines your session should be 50 minutes long. That said, there is a lot of information in the manual and at times, depending on what the client brings to the session, you may find that you are unable to cover all of the material in the allotted time for the session. -
Online Support and Domestic Violence – Negotiating Discourses, Emotions, and Actions
Online support and Domestic violence – negotiating discourses, emotions, and actions Karin Berg A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the London Metropolitan University’s Degree of Doctorate of Philosophy March 2015 Abstract This thesis makes an original contribution to the study of online support on domestic violence (often referred to as online support communities/groups) through a discursive feminist perspective. Whilst the few previous studies on the topic are limited in scope, this is the first to adopt a mixed methods approach, exploring the topic through three sets of data from one online support forum on domestic violence: qualitative textual analysis of threads (n=215); an online survey (n=70); and two interviews with the manager of the forum and the moderator. The thesis aims to explore the role of an online support forum for women in the process of ending violence in their lives. Six aspects of online support are explored: forum-host’s goals, history and development of the forum; the experience of online support from the perspective of its members; exploring the themes and topics dealt with in the forum; how forum users perceive the impact and relevance of these themes; how members construct emotions, violence, victims and perpetrators in written postings; and how members use violence discourse in support processes. The analysis of these aspects provides a new body of evidence regarding the possibilities of online support groups. First, interviews with the forum hosts give a unique insight to the challenges with hosting the forum, pursuing moderation, and the limits and possibilities with using a public anonymous space. -

An Investigation of Attention-Seeking Behavior Through Social Media Post Framing
Athens Journal of Mass Media and Communications- Volume 3, Issue 1 – Pages 25-44 An Investigation of Attention-Seeking Behavior through Social Media Post Framing By Francine Edwards The rise in the use of social networking sites (SNSs) and the very nature of a medium which provides users with a platform to create both a favorable image for ones’ self and the relationships that are perceived as valuable is worthy of investigating as these relationships are becoming as complimentary or as necessary as interpersonal or face-to-face contact. Social networking sites are a means of conveying ideas, dissent, comradery, and emotions all crafted by a user with the intent of emoting a specific response from their followers or friends. The current research suggests that SNS users seek various types of feedback as a result of the communication created by them in the form of social media posts. For the purpose of this research Facebook was used to a) collect data about social media usage b) analyze predictors of social behavior and c) look at the connection between attention-seeking behavior and social media. Keywords: attention-seeking, affirmation, feedback, social media, communication Introduction Narcissism, defining our self-worth, and validation has always been a part of human nature; however social media has created digital and seemingly endless means of having our basic needs for acceptance met. Attention addiction has increased relevance in today‟s social media environment. While most social media users do not display narcissistic tendencies, what can be found on social media are self-promoting or personal platform displays; and intentional displays designed to emote attention with words.
