so i have to write a clinical report on someone famous
 
for my abnormal psych class. they can be a tv character or real life famous person. i thought kurt cobain would be an easy route. the professor did an example with vito corleone. any ideas?

tcm 04-16-2006 11:52 PM

take two
 
that's a good idea. i've always wondered what went through Kurt's head. besides well nevermind.

not Nevermind.

oh forget it.

i just reread his suicide note. chilling.

oh well, hes perfect for this project. he has adhd, bipolar disorder, and social, biological and LOTS of psychological factors.

Mandel has obsessive-compulsive disorder and mysophobia (fear of germs) to the point that he does not shake hands with anyone. However, it now appears he may have slightly gotten over his mysophobia, as he can be seen on Deal or No Deal giving the contestants congratulatory gestures such as: hitting another's fist with his own fist, hugging them, and putting his hands on their shoulders.

kurt was an interesting choice. not that it needs saying, but this dude was a head case. i can diagnose him with substance abuse related disorder, bipoloar depression disorder, ADHD, antisocial personality disorder, multiple psychosocial factors and an extensive medical history.

Imaskingforit! 04-17-2006 01:00 AM

plus he shot him self.

is that why he put all those latex gloves on his head?

that was him right?

wally 04-17-2006 01:05 AM

for the record, I always despised assignments like these in college

Imaskingforit! 04-17-2006 01:10 AM

why?

wally 04-17-2006 01:11 AM

they always are contrived and ask you to make a diagnosis on someone you never talked to. it kind of breaks the ground rules of counseling

ammy 04-17-2006 01:13 AM

sure, kurt's a good choice, except the fact that your teacher is probaly sick of reading about the same guy over and over again. - seems like too obvious a choice.

benjamin619 04-17-2006 01:14 AM

which is why you pick bill o'reilly. i bet your prof. hates the guy. free points right there.

Imaskingforit! 04-17-2006 01:15 AM

agreed. but then again, no one in class but the prof is a licenced clinical psychologist, so our hands are tied in regards to making a dianosis on a real person. this is impersonal.

contrived is a good way of discribing it tho. are you a psych major or grad?

wally 04-17-2006 01:22 AM

grad and went to grad school for mental health/school counseling

9 times out of 10, a psychology degree is absolutely worthless. it's a ticket to get into grad school

Imaskingforit! 04-17-2006 01:32 AM

eh i know. im getting a minor in hotel restraunt and institutional managment. we'll see how it all shapes out. too bad the rock star thing fell thru.

Imaskingforit! 04-17-2006 01:42 AM

kurt is kinda obvious, but im really just trying to make it easy on my self and get this over. this semester has been terrible.

benjamin619 04-17-2006 01:43 AM

you can write about my rls if you want.

Nimrod's Son 04-17-2006 01:43 AM

i wrote every college paper about john tesh

Imaskingforit! 04-17-2006 01:49 AM

no way.

wally 04-17-2006 01:53 AM

yes way

Nimrod's Son 04-17-2006 01:56 AM

the man is a fucking legend

Imaskingforit! 04-17-2006 02:03 AM

is something wrong with his head?

tcm 04-17-2006 02:26 AM

it's only gigantic.

tcm 04-17-2006 02:32 AM

so what's with the shrink attitude that only sick minds are worthy of study and discussion? is the idea that the only healthy psyche is the one free from any atypical thought processes whatsoever? why is there no interest in analyzing how the John Teshes of the world think? is it any wonder that society suffers such a scarcity of psychic role models?
