Thank you Victoria, Marlene, Irman and Joey for being my classroom managers today!
Sorry Kory…. I was saving “klept/o” for the blog -Why is it part of our study of the nervous system/brain? (be ready to discuss tomorrow - no E.C. or homework paper needed). Please read the following so you can talk about it in class tomorrow.
Psychology. Definition: An irresistible impulse to steal, especially when the thief can afford to pay. — kleptomaniac - an irresistible impulse to steal in the absence of any economic motive.
The individual experiences rising subjective sense of tension before the act and feels pleasure gratification or relief in committing the act. The stealing is not committed to express anger or vengeance, is not done in response to a delusion or hallucination and is not better accounted for by conduct disorder, manic episode, or antisocial personality disorder. The etiology of kleptomania, like many other psychiatric illnesses is described in a vague manner. In the textbook of psychiatry it states: “The symptoms of kleptomania tends to appear in times of significant stress, for example losses, separation and ending of important relationships. Some psychoanalytic writers have stressed the expression of aggressive impulses in kleptomania. The patient is referred for counseling in order to combat the urge to steal through various discussions and treatment with a psychologist or psychiatrist.
Hmmmmm.....interesting.
Talk to your family about acting F A S T. Do you remember what this acronym means?
How about the word "thrombus" and "embolus". A mini-stroke is called a "T. I.A." - a transient ischemic attack. What are the signs of a TIA or a full ischemic stroke?
HOMEWORK: Complete the "Career Research Paper" and attach the interview to the back of the paper (stapled). DUE FRIDAY 9/23.
Have a great night.
Mrs. Erceg
