"Pretty Woman" - Social Psychology Principles
[ send me this essay ]
7 pages in length. The film Pretty Woman utilizes a number of social psychological principles befitting the diverse nature of the two leading characters. Looking for a break from his otherwise structured and restricted life, the wealthy business man crosses social boundaries by spending time with a prostitute; inasmuch as he views the entire situation as wholly innocent, he acts out behaviors clearly based upon well worn stereotypes. However, the most pertinent scene where this bias gives way to an attitude change is when he meets her in the hotel lounge for their business dinner date. Failing to notice her as she sits at the bar in 'appropriate' attire, he does a double take when he finally realizes the streetwalker from earlier in the day had been transformed into a well-groomed, attractive woman. Their walk through the lobby draws many admiring glances from guests and staff alike, confirming how presentation of self is a powerful determiner of stereotypical treatment.

"Psychosocial Treatments For Bipolar Depression" - Analysis
[ send me this essay ]
3 pages in length. Pharmacotherapy is all too often the first and more than likely only treatment approach prescribed for bipolar patients, a reality this study's authors show as only partially effective in reaching the goal of recovery. To depend solely upon the limited medicinal benefit when addressing the often debilitating impact of bipolar disorder is to withhold the powerful synergy that comes from a combined protocol of drug and psychosocial therapies. The authors further illustrate this point by extending the scope of this trial to incorporate fifteen different locations where patients participated, a decision that offers a broader range of respondent input and gives this study a unique approach. Bibliography lists 1 source.
