    I first picked up Highly Illogical Behavior at the recommendation of Mrs. Bock. I had never read a book with a protagonist who had a mental illness that was present in the behavior and the overall plot proceedings throughout the novel. I usually tend to stay within the genres that I am familiar with - romance and realistic fiction. Most of the books that I read are about how a man and a woman fall in love in spite of emotional and physical strife. Highly Illogical Behavior, however, was about a man who had such severe social anxiety that he developed agoraphobia, thus rendering him incapable of leaving his house.…

    A event that changed Malo was when his dad had walk out of his life. I say that because the was the beginning of everything because he started to sell dope and hang with the wrong crowd.

Which would make him get kicked out of his mom house and be on the run.…

    The author, Jamaica Kincaid in her piece “Girl”, chooses to write and develop her text as a memoir to better connect with her readers. The conflicts that are expected in a mother and daughter relationship, is a relatable issue and can allow others to become more emotionally involved with this composition. Throughout the text the author also distinguishes how the mother tends to develop a darker, more critical side that is intended to guide her daughter to reach societal expectations for her. Without the piece being a memoir, my conclusion of how the daughter is effected by her mother’s critical demands would not be reached. Considering this, I believe a memoir conducts the best strategy to convey this confliction between a mother and daughter.…

However despite this, many cannot tell the difference between feeling sad or depressed and having clinical depression.

    Human nature and abnormal behavior are defined very differently by the several counseling theories. One could say that two of the most contradictory theories are: Psychodynamic (PD) versus Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Both of them attempt to relieve clients of emotional distress, however, the underlying reasons of why the distress occurs, and how the counselor helps the client relieve it, differs highly between the two theories. One of the first and most revolutionary theories in the history of psychology was the Psychodynamic theory. Even though it was originally funded by Freud, many of his students and followers imparted their own theories (e.g Jung, Erikson.)…
