Stockholm Syndrome & the Mentally Ill

1.   Jason was called into his boss’ office and given his pink slip. Jason began shouting and cursing at his boss, who ordered him out of the room and picked up the phone to call security. Jason threw a heavy ashtray across the room and accidentally struck the boss in the head, killing him. He then barricaded himself in the room and the police were called. You are the primary negotiator. When you first speak to Jason, he is hysterical with fright. He has never been in trouble before (not even a traffic citation). He is afraid not only of what will happen to him, but what will happen with his family, his son who is graduating from high school and getting ready to enroll in college, and his youngest daughter, who is autistic and needs a lot of parental support. What kind of things could you say to Jason to reduce his stress, calm him down, and set the framework for successful negotiations? 2. You have been asked to train prison staff in how to act if taken hostage. In terms of the Stockholm Syndrome, adaptation and coping, and Strentz’s typology, what would you teach them? Develop an exercise for them that stresses the concepts of this chapter.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide

Although Sigmund Freud is hailed as the father of psychodynamic theory—and has since paved the way for other theorists to formulate different strains—his original theory is not without criticisms. Many argue that this theory is (a) sexist; (b) deterministic; (c) not sensitive to diversity; and (d) lacking in scientific evidence. Because of these criticisms, his theory is still very controversial.

Often, controversial topics lead to heated debates. As a scholar-practitioner, you will inevitably enter provocative debates and will need to engage with objectivity. What this means is that you enter the discourse using research evidence rather than personal opinion.

In this Discussion, you practice objectivity while examining the criticisms levied against Freud’s psychodynamic theory.

To prepare

• Review the Walden Writing Center web pages listed in the Learning Resources.
• Review the additional Required Resources from your Learning Resources this week, and cite at least one additional resource in your posts.

Post a response to the following:

• Briefly explain reasons psychodynamic theory continues to influence practice.
  • Identify any strengths of this theory.
• Take a position on one of the criticisms of Freud’s theory, and start by writing a thesis statement.
  • Expand on your position using literature to support your claims.
• In 1–2 sentences, evaluate your thesis statement using the guidelines from the “Writing a Paper: Thesis Statement” web page.
• In 3–4 sentences, evaluate the degree to which your argument contains bias by using the guidelines from the “Scholarly Voice: Avoiding Bias” web page.
