In the summer of 1927, a young artist wondering through Europe took at a school established by Freud for the children of his patients and friends. This artist, Erik Homburger, who had never received a university degree, became friendly with the psychoanalysts and was later trained by them (Burger 1990 p. 121). After chaining his name to Erikson, he began to practice psychotherapy and eventually extol his own views on the nature of the human personality. Although Erikson retained some of Freud's ideas in his theory, his own contributions to the psychoanalytic approach to personality are many and it is these contributions that will be examined here.

135.476 The Paradigms of Psychology.
This study guide introduces the basic paradigms of psychology, gives an example of each, and offers the writer's opinion of their accuracy. It concludes that psychology is not a hard science. Psychology is not an absolute science like physics. It involves human behavior and human interactions and it is not always predictable. Unlike some other exact sciences, psychology has numerous approaches and theories relative to it that seek to explain human behavior or provide different perspectives on how to examine human behavior reactive to culture and biology. There is no one particular approach to psychology that can be deemed correct or more valuable then others, but the holistic approach is becoming quite popular and it may be among the most balanced of the paradigms for psychology.

137.485 The Shaping of My Behaviors by Conditioning and Punishment.
This personal narrative by a Middle-Eastern student lists five bad behaviors and then measures the effectiveness of punishment or reward in changing those behaviors. People learn by different means and some means of learning and reinforcement have different impacts on people at different times. No one is perfect and there is no doubt that everyone has behaviors that they want to change and extinguish. I know there have been many for me, but I have found that punishment doe snot go a long way to solving my negative behaviors. Throughout his life he engaged in a variety of different behaviors and he discovered that positive reinforcement is more likely to change his behavior than punishment. It concludes that punishment does not end negative behaviors and only motivates the person to avoid the punishment.
This study guide for psychology examines the behavioralist, biological, psychoanalytical, and social approaches to psychology. It explains them and gives an example of each.

140.581 Circadian Rhythms Methodology.
Modern life is governed by the clock; be to work at 9 a.m.; be to class by 5 p.m.; be in bed by midnight or be to tired to work in the morning. So why are you awake at 4 a.m. pacing the floors and wondering if more warm milk and toast will solve the problem? Why is it that you are tired until noon and sleep sitting at your desk and then suddenly you are up and ready to face the workday? Why is your closest friend up at 6 a.m. and ready to meet the day with a smile? There are many factors, which may give answers to these questions. Stress, eating habits, environment, temperature, lighting, and many other factors may account for different activity and sleep patterns, but the dominant force in determining activity and resting cycles is circadian rhythms. The body's natural biological clock, present n human and animals alike, may raise havoc in the modern time oriented world, but no human being can escape this powerful force of nature. This inability to escape nature is the primary topic of this paper.
