Child Psychopathology – 5.23.13
Maslow – “If the only tool you have is a hammer, you will tend to see everything as if it were a nail”
The difference bt being smart and being wise.
Smart people know a lot about a little, wise people have a broad base of knowledge
The more experience people get the more different perspectives they use.
Assignments:
Midterm:
Interview teens, preteens or early adults and asking questions about fb use.
Whether it gets in the way of face to face contact?
Experience TMI? Over share?
Final:
Pick two controversies in the field – from list probably – pick your side
Research
ABA – Applied Behavioral Therapy
If something feels good you will do it again.
FIVE PERSPECTIVES OF CHILD PATHOLOGY
1 - A Psychodynamic Perspective –
Early determinance of behavior
The first 3 years of life are critical.
The fundamentals of personality development are determined.
Traced back to Freud.
No real happy endings
The past continues to effect the present.
It’s not just that behavior patterns were established in early life but that you continue to act out those patterns.
This looks at the non-observable
Unconscious thought, behavior, etc.
Behavioral Therapy looks at symptoms and tries to fix them – this looks at what is enormusely complex, I’m not sure it’s fixable, I can help you understand what is going on, and not get into the same traps but we probably can’t fix everything. Life is not a fixable disorder. The task is to understand.
The therapist interprets.
The insight is curative (this is controversial)
Some critics say – the only thing insight ever cures is curiosity.
HOW DO THESE THINGS RELATE
Class Psychoanalysis
Freud (two primary drives in life – sex and aggression)
Psychoanalysically – oriented psychotherapy
Psychodynamically – oriented psychotherapy
Realtional Dynamic Psychotherapy
(interpersonal relationship focus)
Self Psychology (Kohut)
Freud left...
