Name Freud's Psychosexual stages of development. - Oral, Anal, Phallic, Latent, and Genital. (Mnemonic device: Oh, Anthony, Please Let's Go!) Describe Erik Erikson's stages. - Erik Erikson is an Ego psychologist and a disciple of Freud. His 8 stages focus on social relationships, therefore they are called psychosocial. Each stage has a crisis that must be overcome in order to move on to the next stage. His stages are Trust v. Mistrust; Autonomy v. Shame/doubt; Industry v. Inferiority; Initiative vs. Guilt; Identity v. Role confusion; Intimacy v. Isolation; Generativity vs. Stagnation; Integrity vs. Despair. (Mnemonic device: The Air In Iceland Is Icy, Greenland Isn't.) define psychometric. - pertaining to mental testing and measurement define psychodiagnostic - the study of personality through interpretation of behavior and non-verbal cues; or labeling a client in a diagnostic category. define psychopharmacology - the study of the effects drugs have on psychological functions. What is the id? - the basic instinct principle in Freudian theory. It is the seat of aggression and sexual impulse. It is devoid of logic and time orientation. It is chaotic and bodily focused. What is the ego? - this is the reality principle in Freudian theory. It indicates power of reasoning and control over behavior. It helps keep the impulses of the id in check. What is the superego? - the superego is the moralistic and idealistic principle in the Freudian theory. Which group of theorists believe "if you can't measure it, it doesn't exist"? - Behaviorists. They focus on O.O.B. The observable, objective behaviors. (My AP psych teacher in HS called it the O.O.B. tampon. gross, but it helped me remember it!)

Who is the only psychoanalyst with a developmental theory that covered the entire lifespan? - Erik Erikson's Psychosocial stages covered the entire lifespan. Each stage has a crisis or turning point. What theory is A. A. Brill associated with? - Career theory Milton H. Erickson is associated with... - Brief psychotherapy and hypnosis. What field is Jean Piaget associated with? - Cognitive Child Development Who is Jay Haley and what is the nature of his contribution to counseling? - Haley is most famous for his work on strategic and problem-solving therapy, more specifically with his use of the paradox technique. He also studied with Milton Erickson. Arnold Lazarus - He is a known behavioral therapist who worked specifically with methods of desensitization and phobias. He is most associated with Multimodal Therapy. William Perry - He is known for his work in adult cognitive development, specifically with college students. He worked a lot with the concept of "dualistic thinking" among college students, where everything is either black or white. (Memory technique: think of Katy Perry's song Hot and Cold to associate Perry with dualism.) Ed Neukrug - Also a cognitive developmentalist. His work is similar to Perry's. He noted that college students initially think that their professor has all the answers (dualistic), but gradually get to a more relativistic way of thinking and realize that answers exist that are relative to a given situation. (Memory technique: "What do you THINK about Ed nuking the rug??" Think= cognitive dev, Ed Neukrug.) Robert Kegan - Yet another adult cognitive developmentalist. SPecifically with interpersonal development. His theory was called the Constructive Model of Development- people construct reality throughout the lifespan. What are Piaget's stages of Cognitive Development in order? - Sensorimotor; Preoperational; Concrete; Formal. These stages must occur in order, but may be experienced at varying ages. What is the major critique of Jean Piaget's research? - He spent too much time observing his own kids, and thus drawing his conclusions from a small, specific, population. Who formulated the very first intelligence test? - Alfred Binet. In France. Oh la la!

What is a t test? - Also known as the Student's t, it is a statistical test used in formal experiments to determine if a statistical significance exists between the means of two normally distributed groups. Define Conservation. - A substance's mass, weight, and volume remain the same even if it changes shape. It most likely refers to volume and mass, though. A child who has not mastered this concept will not have flexible thinking. (Mastered during Piaget's Concrete Operational stage 7-11 years) Symbolic Schema - A schema is a system where the child tests out things in the physical world. An example of a symbolic schema is when a child uses a pie plate as a steering wheel (because it fits into the schema they have created for "Steering Wheel") This occurs in the Preoperational Stage. David Elkind's research supports what Piagetian concept? - Elkind's statistical research supports Piaget's principle of conservation, with mass being the first and most easily understood concept for children, followed by weight and volume respectively.

What theorists are considered to have epigenetic theories? - Kohlberg, Erikson, and Maslow. Who is the leading theorist of Moral Development? - Lawrence Kohlberg A 6 year old child in Preoperational thought said, "the rain is following me". This is an example of what characteristic? - Egocentrism: a child cannot view the world from the vantage point of another person. Name Kohlberg's stages of moral development. - Preconventional, Conventional, and Post-Conventional

The Post-Conventional stage is also called the.... - Personal Integrity, or Morality of Self-Accepted Principles level What is the Heinz Story designed to help assess? - It is part of Kohlberg's morality development model and it is designed to help assess the level of morality a person has achieved by their reactions and reasonings based on the Heinz scenario. Who is the father of Analytic Psychology? - Carl Jung Who is the father of Psychoanalysis? - Sigmund Freud What is biofeedback? - Biofeedback is a technique utilized to help individuals learn to control bodily processes more effectively. The most ground-breaking work in this area occurred at the Menninger Clinic in Kansas, even though it is a traditional psychoanalytic foothold. From who's work do we get the term "identity crisis"? - Erik Erikson, because his psychosocial stages involve a crisis in order to proceed to the next stage. RS factors - RS stands for Religious and Spiritual. RS factors are often examined by counselors who are attempting to integrate the practice of "positive psychology" into their work. What is Positive Psychology? - a term coined by Abraham Maslow (humanistic perspective) and popularized by Martin Segliman, refers to the study of human strengths such as joy, wisdom, altruism, ability to love, and happiness.

under 40%. What are some examples of people believed to have reached the Postconventional stage of moral development? - Ghandi, Socrates, Martin Luther King, Jr. What is the first stage of Erikson's Psychosocial stages? - Trust vs. Mistrust (birth to 1 year) Harry Stack Sullivan - postulated the stages of infancy, childhood, juvenile, preadolescence, early adolescence, and late adolescence. what is Psychiatry of Interpersonal Relations? - similar to Erikson, biological determination is seen as less important than interpersonal issues and the soci-cultural demands of society A person who has mastered Erikson's first 7 stages would then enter into which stage? - Integrity vs. Despair (60-death) Integrity implies the individual is mostly satisfied with life and feels it has been worthwhile. What is a Periodic Fugue State? - an individual experiencing amnesia leaves home, often with the intention of changing jobs and identities. (I have no idea why we would ever need to know this, unless we decided to quit counseling, move to Hollywood, and become screen writers...)

What would be the primary goal of a maturationist counselor? - to unleash the inborn abilities, instincts, and drives of the client. The client's childhood and past are seen as important therapeutic topics. John Bowlby - he is most associated with attachment and bonding theory. HE though that attachment had a survival value, called adaptive significance. He suggested that a child must bond with an adult before the age of 3 in order to live a healthy social life. object loss - Bowlby- if a child does not make an attachment to an adult before the age of 3, he will suffer object loss, which is said to be the breeding ground for abnormal behaviors. symbiosis - Mahler's term for a child's absolute dependence on a female caregiver.

Occurs between the ages of 35- for men and 5 years earlier for women. It begins when they realize their lives are half way over and seek to change the goals and aspirations they have not yet realized. Generativity= productive, happy, looks out for others. Daniel Levinson - wrote Seasons of a Man's Life and Seasons of a Woman's Life. He viewed midlife crises as positive things, stating that those who do not face a midlife crisis could become stagnant later in life- avoiding the crises could lead to a lack of vitality later. Harry Harlow - the researcher known for his work with maternal deprivation and rhesus monkeys. He believed that attachment is an innate tendancy. Monkeys in isolation developed abnormal behaviors, and showed signs of dysfunction when placed with normal monkeys. Who continued Harlow's research and provided evidence to support his attachment theories extend to humans? - Rene Spitz- noted that kids raised in impersonal institutions cried more, had trouble sleeping,had more health-related issues, and developed anaclitic depression. Anaclitic Depression - term coined by Rene Spitz denoting infants that are raising in an isolating environment have trouble forming close relationships in life. Arnold Gesnell -
