Attachment disorder is based on the psychological theories that 1) normal mother-child attachment forms in the first two years of life and 2) if a normal attachment is not formed during the first two to three years, attachment can be induced later. This theory is used, for example, to explain the behavioral difficulties of adopted children. Attachment theory was developed by John Bowlby in the 1940s and 1950s and is the leading theory used in the fields of Infant Mental Health, Child Development, and related fields. (For example, see the following: Handbook of Infant Mental Health, edited by Charles Zeanah, MD,Guilford Press, 1993, NY, or Handbook of Attachment: Theory, Research, and Clinical Applications, edited by Jude Cassidy, Ph.D., & Phillip Shaver, Ph.D, Guilford Press, NY 1999.) It is a well researched theory that describes how how the attachment relationship develops, why it is crucual to later healthy development, and what are the effects of early maltreatment or other disruptions in this process. ...more on Wikipedia about "Attachment disorder"

Autoshaping (sometimes called "sign tracking") is any of a variety of experimental procedures used to study classical conditioning in pigeons. In its simplest form, autoshaping is very similar to Pavlov's salivary conditioning procedure using dogs. In Pavlov's best-known procedure, a short audible tone reliably preceded the presentation of food to dogs. The dogs naturally, unconditionally, salivated ( unconditioned response) to the food ( unconditioned stimulus) given them, but through learning, conditionally, came to salivate ( conditioned response) to the tone ( conditioned stimulus) that predicted food (see conditioning). In autoshaping a light is reliably turned on shortly before pigeons are given food. The pigeons naturally, unconditionally, peck ( unconditioned response) at the food ( unconditioned stimulus) given them, but through learning, conditionally, came to peck ( conditioned response) at the light source ( conditioned stimulus) that predicts food. ...more on Wikipedia about "Autoshaping"

Battered woman syndrome (sometimes battered wife syndrome) is a recognised psychological condition to describe a woman who, because of constant and severe domestic violence sometimes involving physical abuse by a male partner, becomes depressed and unable to take any independent action that would allow her to escape the abuse. The condition explains why abused women often do not seek assistance from others, fight their abuser, or leave the abusive situation. Sufferers have low self-esteem, and often believe that the abuse is their fault. Such women usually refuse to press charges against their abuser, and refuse all offers of help, often becoming aggressive or abusive to others who attempt to offer assistance. Although the condition usually affects women, children and more rarely men can also exhibit the syndrome. ...more on Wikipedia about "Battered woman syndrome"
The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI, BDI-II), created by Dr. Aaron T. Beck, is a 21-question multiple choice survey that is one of the most widely used instruments for measuring depression severity. The test asks questions about depression symptoms including emotions such as hopelessness and irritability, cognitions such as guilt or feelings of being punished, as well as physical symptoms such as fatigue, weight loss, and lack of interest in sex. There are two versions of the BDI -- the original BDI, first published in 1961 and later revised in 1971 and the BDI-II, a revision of the BDI that was published in 1996. ...more on Wikipedia about "Beck Depression Inventory"

In psychology, bicameralism is a controversial theory asserting that the human brain once assumed a state known as a bicameral mind in which cognitive functions are divided between one part of the brain which appears to be "speaking" and a second part that listens and obeys. The idea was proposed in the book The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, written by Julian Jaynes in 1976. It suggested that the bicameral mind was the natural state of the human mind as recently as 3000 years ago. ...more on Wikipedia about "Bicameralism (psychology)"
