Question

Billy was the third of loving but busy parents. When he was growing up, he thought that his parents favored his older siblings. When Billy was four, his parents divorced, and he remained with his father. His brother .and sister moved with his mother to a distant city. Billy rarely saw them. Feeling inadequate in raising his son alone, Billy’s father responded by providing the child with costly toys and frequent trips to amusement parks. As Billy grew older and attended school, he had trouble focusing and was taken to a doctor for an appraisal of his abilities and disabilities. Billy’s medical evaluation showed symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, but Billy’s father dismissed the diagnosis. Because of these difficulties in school, Billy had trouble making friends and was ridiculed by his classmates. This diminished his self-confidence. By the time Billy was an adolescent, he had difficulty forming lasting relationships despite his expertise in athletics. He was capable of high academic achievement, but his grades were below average. Teacher reports frequently cited his excessive need for attention, he felt lost and doomed to failure.

I’ve got a challenge for you guys, try answering the following questions from a humanist approach, Psychoanalytical approach, behaviorist approach, cognitive approach, and a biological approach based on the case study above.

1) What is the basic cause of Billy’s problems?
2) What will happen to Billy?
3) What steps could Billy take to improve his life????


Remember, Psychoanalytical approach emphasizes that a person’s behavior is determined by primal drives and the experiences of early childhood. Behaviorist approach emphasizes the connection between stimulus/response and behavior/reward. Also, that a person’s behavior is determined by the actions that were rewarded or punished. Cognitive approach emphasizes that a person’s difficulties often stem from false perceptions of reality. Biological Approach emphasizes the genetic, medical, and neurological components of the person. Theorists believe that theses biological factors influence behavior. Hormonal changes, brain anomalies, and neurochemical differences help determine a person’s actions and subsequent changes in behavior.
