The Bystander Effect... what would you do?
This happened a few years ago in NYC it looks like a 31 year-old Guatemalan man named Hugo Alfredo Tale-Yax was stabbed on the street in New York City and many pedestrians walked right past him as he died. You can read the story and see a surveillance video here.
The Bystander Effect/Diffusion of Responsibility video we saw in class is below or here.
Asch's Conformity
Solomon Asch's conformity study showed how easily people will give an obviously wrong answer when other people are giving that same answer. Watch the video at the link below:
Milgram's Obedience
Stanley Milgram's obedience study was recently partly replicated by ABC's Prime Time show. Watch how easily people follow orders even when they know the orders are wrong.
Zimbardo's Prison Roles
Philip Zimbardo's experiment about how roles affect behavior is known as the "Stanford Prison Experiment." Those playing inmates became passive while those playing guards became aggressive. Subjects' real identities seemed to pale in comparison to the roles they played so much that the experiment had to be stopped after a few days. Who knows what would have happened if the experiment had gone on for two full weeks.
Treatment of Psych Disorders
(Scroll down below this post for earlier posts such as Review Resources )
The PsychCentral website lists all the disorders in the DSM 5 including their previous DSM IV names, so you can see how the textbook relates to the new DSM 5 listings.
The Mayo Clinic website has a good explanation of many mental illnesses including symptoms and treatment options.
Getting Help - Psychotherapy Crash Course
Biomedical Treatments - and Effectiveness of Psychological Treatments Crash Course
How do Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI) antidepressants work?
The Mayo Clinic has a good webpage that explains how SSRI and Serotonin/Norepinephrine SNRI's work.
A detailed explanation of Freud and the basis for psychoanalysis (at 5:50 or so) - The School of Life
An AP Psych Review video for this unit - basically like having a tutor showing you a Prezzi and discussing each major idea. The nice thing is, you can pause and take notes which is something you can't usually do during class.
And finally... one mnemonic you can use to remember that Aaron Beck's cognitive approach to treatment involved reducing negative thinking about the self.
What are the main ways we treat psychological illness? What are the important the differences between psychotherapy and the biomedical approach? How does the psychodynamic approach compare to the humanistic approach? Are some treatments more effective for some disorders? Does psychotherapy work? Do psychiatric medications work? How do we know?
If you are concerned about your own mental health or that of someone close to you, speak to your counselor or teacher right away. If it's an emergency - that someone is going to hurt themselves or others, call 911. In a non-emergency the school can refer you to someone who can help, such as the professionals at the Near North Health Service Corp. which is only about a block from school.  |
| Trepanation- cutting holes in the skull - is no longer used as treatment of mental illness. For other obsolete forms of psychiatric treatment, see this list. |
