The Fundamentals And Evolution Of Psychoanalysis
[ send me this essay ]
15 pages in length. The 1940s and 1950s ushered in medical options for treating psychological disorders, many of which proved to abate symptoms but not cure the problem. Still, these pharmaceutical offerings proved a saving grace for those whose ability to function within society was greatly augmented by popping an antipsychotic pill. This time frame - a mere decade after Freud's death - illustrates how psychoanalysis often took a back seat to the easier, quicker fix of drug therapy. As the discipline of psychology gained momentum in its own right, however, so too did the distinction of psychoanalysis as not only a viable but ultimately core element by treating people through therapy. Bibliography lists 16 sources.

The Game of Chess and Cognitive Development
[ send me this essay ]
A 7 page discussion of the importance of chess. Chess is much more than a game. It can be contended, in fact, that chess can be of benefit to cognitive development and learning. Cognitive learning is the process in which knowledge is acquired. It involves an individual being cognizant of his or her environment and gaining knowledge from that environment. This involves both thinking and problem solving which in turn results in memory formation and learning. In order to learn how to play chess an individual must be able to both form memories and to learn how to correctly plan their moves. Chess is instrumental in both the physiology of this development as well as in the social aspects of cognitive development. Bibliography lists 20 sources.

The General Organization Of Human Memory
[ send me this essay ]
10 pages in length. The concept of memory incorporates myriad external and internal elements of recollection that help humans recall experiences from the past. Either short- or long-term, memory provides the comprehensive link between what went before and what is happening now, reacting to various triggers such as sight, sound, smell and a whole host of emotional/physical prompts. The extent to which memory is responsible for structuring human existence is both grand and far-reaching; that certain components of life sometimes stand in the way of accurate - or even any - recall speaks to how sensitive this particular element of man's psyche truly is. Bibliography lists 13 sources.
