PSY311H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Psychopathology, Protective Factor, John Bowlby
Document Summary
So we want to see/understand key events that play this role. Neuroses (psychological difficulty, lack of adjustment) are only acquired during early childhood even thought symptoms may not appear until much later: neuroses are not severe like psychosis, but they are mental disturbances. People who are neurotic worry excessively (i. e. , leaving the home and worrying if you left the stove on or not): neuroses are acquired during early childhood experiences. The child is psychologically father to the man: if you"re a child"s parent, you are a precursor to the child (since you came first, and the child is the offspring). Lecture 11 june 19, 2014: the influence of childhood experiences really came from freud being convinced about the direct continuity between events and experience with evidence. Empirical investigations have failed to show such a clear and direct association: it is problematic and subjective of a method to come up with conclusions.
