Jean Piaget: Cognitive Stage Theory
Posted: September 19, 2009 at 9:21 pm by Nathan Driskell
Departing from Freud and Psychoanalysis, Jean Piaget developed his own theories and focused on child development. A very intelligent man, Piaget wrote an estimated 40 books on child development and became well known as an expert. His Cognitive Stage Theory offers a more constructive look at childhood development than other professionals of his time. Piaget devised a theory which accounted for the abilities children held at different ages. This allowed researchers to devise a standard by which to measure children. Piaget’s Cognitive State Theory became well known, and is still used today.
Alfred Adler: Adlerian Therapy
Posted: September 17, 2009 at 8:27 pm by Nathan Driskell
As did Jung and Erikson, Alfred Adler worked with Freud and studied psychoanalysis. Instead of viewing people as a collection of drives and instincts, Adler saw a person as a complete whole. The future of a person was more important then the past, which was in direct conflict with Freudian psychoanalysis. Adler and Freud parted company, with Freud calling Adler a heretic. Adler went to form his own theories, which became known as Adlerian Therapy. Adlerian therapy came to include many components, such as the study of human nature, perception of reality, patterns of human personality, social and community interests and the dynamics of birth order.
ACORN Prostitution Scandal
Posted: September 16, 2009 at 11:32 pm by Nathan Driskell
It seems the people at ACORN have decided to go insane and reveal their true colors. In a story that appears as crazy as it sounds, ACRON staff were caught on camera giving advice to a supposed prostitute and her pimp on how to break the law and set up an illegal brothel. Not only that, staff at ACORN did not mind the fact the brothel will include 13 year old girls from El Salvidor whom will perform sex acts. It appears tax evasion, child rape and exportation do not matter to ACORN. In case you think this story is to crazy to be real, look at part one of the video below to see for yourself.

Once quoted as Freud’s ‘spiritual heir’, Carl Jung was primed to become one of the leading men within the Psychoanalytical movement. After working extensively with Freud, Jung decided he could no longer support Freud’s sexual theories regarding the unconscious. Carl Jung would take his own path and form his own theories regarding the unconscious. Taking elements from religion, history and mythology, Carl Jung was able to form the basis for Analytical Psychology.
Steve: The Hero
Posted: September 16, 2009 at 12:40 am by Nathan Driskell
As humans, we have the disturbing habit of not missing something until it is gone. We often ignore our friends and family because we feel we are to busy. Often it is to late to tell the ones we care about how we feel, and feel guilt for the remainder of our lives. Therefore, it is important to tell those we care for how we feel, because tomorrow may never come. Today, I have decided to write about my friend, Steve Schlosser, who is serving in Iraq. He has been in Iraq for around six months, and is doing well.
