The Lobotomist

The lobotomist is a surgery that Walter Freeman preformed on a lot of patience, by cutting some nerves in the brain and after the surgery the patience were not depressed or angry anymore but they were not there selves. Many had to be re taught how to walk and use the bathroom and and all of them acted like children. All of them were institutionalized.

I think the Walter Freeman was trying to be a good doctor and help people and their problems but he ended up looking like a mad man to everyone else. My opinion on him is, he is not a mad man and that his intents were good but i do think he should have experimented on and animal first rather then just going for it, because if he would have ended up killing someone, he wouldn't be who he is now.I do think Freeman is a very smart doctor and could have solved much much more, but didn't have the right tools. Now a days there are a lot of doctors that do brain surgeries and don't get called mad men. Freeman wasn't in the right time period because if he has been in our time period he would've had the tools needed and technology needed. Freeman is not a mad man, but a good doctor.

Jenny from Jersey Shore

My crazy celebrity is, Jenny Farley a.k.a. J-Wow, because she does a lot of nude modeling, plastic surgery, and gets into a lot of fights. This to me is very wild behavior. She doesn't control her temper when she gets mad and i think she does nude modeling for her self. I also don't know where she gets the money for a boob job so there might be some over spending.

Neuro means brain, and there is a perspective of psychology we have been talking about called Neuroscience perspective. This focus' on how the body and brain creates our behaviors, emotions, memories, and sensory experiences. In Jenny's case her body and rage takes over her brain and she doesn't think through things when she's going to get into a fight or take that picture.

"Freudian" or psychoanalytic is another perspective of psychology. This is obviously called the psycho dynamic perspective, which comes from unconscious mental drives and conflicts. This relates to Jenny in her crazy behavior because she may have gotten picked on a lot as a child for being ugly or flat chested so now unconsciously she gets the plastic surgery to make herself feel better. The fights and short temper can also come from this perspective because in her child hood or just mentally in a dream she has to defend her self in that way. So therefor now Jenny does it all the time.

The "learning perspective" or behavioral perspective both mean the same thing and both focus on behaviors we can see. With Jenny we can see the behaviors very good. With this perspective the psychologists would try to find away for Jenny to stop the behaviors. The psychologist could put Jenny in an anger management class to help with her short temper. Then with the nude modeling could try to help her work on her self esteem and build that up on her own.

The thinking perspective or cognitive perspective just focus' on how we think or as other people would say encode information. Unlike the behavioral perspective this perspective would try to change the way you think and not the way you act. So instead of going to an anger management class, Jenny would go talk to someone every day about how she feels and start talking her problems out instead.

Social-cultural perspective, which looks at how culture around us effects our behavior. Where Jenny is right now has a huge effect on her behavior and i think that is the main reason why she is the way she is. She forst of all is a celebrity, which means she is pressuered in to being very attractive. She gets the plastic surgery done to make her slef be attractive and have hair extentions and fake nails. Jenny has also grown up in Jersey where things are always pressured there where as in Wisconsin there not that bad and certainly don't influence children when there very young. In Jenny's case it did.
