well my intro to Psychology book talks about the different personality types and studies of personalities and theorys.
Amazon has some really good ones.
I dont know if they still teach with this one or not, but B.F. Skinner wrote a fascinateing piece that explored the ego, super ego, and the id.
I feel like an idiot but I just now forgot what it was called.
Really?! Skinner?! I’d love to read that! What, was it like a behavioural take on it?
Why can’t you remember :(
Well I don’t know of any books about that, but the one really good psychology book I have been reading as of late is called “Choice Theory” by William Glasser, M.D. you might like it.
Dr. House what is it about? etc ummm Some of my friends said something about a guy named froye any one know of anything good by him…i’m looking for specific names and titles of books =) so I can check them out at my local library!
Freud? Sigman Frued I think it is.
Anyway, Choice theory is a sort of self help book in a way. It is a new way to think/act/behave in life
skinner actually has a couple. about behaviourism was the one to which I was refering.
your library might have it, amazon.com has it in paperback for like ten bucks.
Thanks man! I’m sure my Uni library has it (Psychology student) That sounds pretty interesting.
Much Freudian theory has been shown to be pure fiction so you would want to stay away from his stuff.

everything is fiction in the end. Unless we know everything, we know nothing for sure. And there is no way to know how much we really know.

realize that psychology, just like medical science is based on pattern and study and learning. if we knew everything about medicine, we’d allready have a cure for some of the nastier diseases floating around. If we knew everything about behavioural psychology, we could rehabilitate criminals instead of seeing the “third time loser” scenario.

Ah, the old I think therefore I am. Maybe you have a hard time realizing certain things, but personally I have never seen person walking through solid walls. Now, no matter how much you want to believe that you can walk through walls you will never be able to and no matter how many times you try the only thing you will succeed in is giving yourself a massive headache.

I can understand wanting to use what works, but your statement is based on the assumtion that we are products of our environments. Hoping to give a person the right stimuli to cause him to change will not work ever. That person has to choose to change of his own free will.
Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it can’t happen.
But I guess walking through walls isn’t as crazy as walking on water.
I was speaking of regular people such as yourself, not an infintly powerful being. And for the record He walked through walls as well.
Ummm outside factors definetly help in how a person is raised. How ever sometimes an uneven balance of chemicals causes a person to be schitchzofrenik or what ever or bi polar =D also I put up a new avatar pic sweet new grill~!
yes, because that is much more plausible.
I do not deny the possibility that he did that just as I do not deny the possibility that any of us could. I couldn’t deny one or the other without being a hypocrite.

Dude, you look hilarious! >D check your shout.
This is kind of hard to read but I like the book Character Styles by Stephen Johnson
why what is it about could you summarize it plz?
Well what the book says is that depending on when stuff happened to us in early childhood we have different issues that can dominate our lives. Like if your Mom didn’t relate to you so very much when you were a newborn you kind of repress your life force and try not to take up space and then your issue is I Have the Right to Exist. It goes on from there to cover a bunch of issues people have.
sounds about right lol that and the effect i crave a womans attention sounds like this book could cover a f’d up individual like me =D thank you I am defeinetly going to look into that pickle chip! and no i’m not being sarcastic
I’m glad you are interested in this. I love stuff like this book.
