He coined the term psychoanalysis (1896) to explain his theories and treatments for curing mental problems of his patients. The psychodynamic approach emphasises the significance of…

to occur, the results will be the same. If a man caused the act and people have the right to choose, then free will does exist. Chisholm then offers another hypothetical situation: under hypnosis, a man is unable to do anything other than what it is that he did. Using the same situation, Chisholm replaces hypnosis with desires and beliefs while keeping the same result that the shooter couldn’t have done otherwise. So the question now becomes, is a man responsible for the desires and beliefs he…

He went to university at…

I did not understand why hypnosis was included as a way to alter consciousness. Hypnosis really isn’t a form of altered consciousness in my opinion, and the author even states that it doesn’t have a definition in Psychology, and there’s questions about whether the subject is just performing to please the hypnotist.

Still interested in the field of psychology and the mind, Freud decided to help develop a theory made by one of his friends,…

When conducting a scientific experiment, it is important to keep in mind certain key components such as random sampling, random assignment, control group and internal validity threats. However, much of the research and experiments that have been done about the possibility of aliens have not followed good experimental guidelines. For instance, a main concern with many experiments about aliens is the use of purposive sampling. The specific target individuals are those who believe in UFO’s or…
