1. Part I. Brief Summary of the Movie Annie hall
Alvy Singer, a forty-year-old twice divorced, neurotic, intellectual Jewish New York stand-up
comic, reflects on the demise of his latest relationship, to Annie Hall, an insecure, flighty,
Midwestern WASP aspiring nightclub singer. Unlike his previous relationships, Alvy believed he
may have worked out all the issues in his life through fifteen years of therapy to make this
relationship with Annie last, among those issues being not wanting to date any woman that would
want to date him, and thus subconsciously pushing those women away. Alvy not only reviews the
many ups and many downs of their relationship, but also reviews the many facets of his makeup that
led to him starting to date Annie. Those facets include growing up next to Coney Island in Brooklyn,
being attracted to the opposite sex for as long as he can remember, and enduring years of Jewish
guilt with his constantly arguing parents.

Part IV. What is the Etiology of the Disorder using the different approaches in Abnormal Psychology
(e.x Brain structure, biochemical)
Biological Approach
The biological approach to abnormal psychology focuses on the medical issues that underlie the
mental illness. These issues may involve physical illness, damage or lesions to the brain or chemical
imbalances. Biological treatments are often pharmacological; that is, most biological treatments
involve drugs.
Psychodynamic Approach
The psychodynamic approach views abnormality as a result of conflict between unconscious urges
and conscious desires. Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychodynamic theory, said that when conflict
in early life is not resolved, we repress things and that leads to mental illness.
Behavioral Approach
The behavioral approach to abnormal psychology is about the observable behaviors of the patient.
Behavioral psychologists believe that we learn behaviors through a complex system of rewards and
punishments. Behavioral treatments focus on changing the behaviors of the mentally ill, not on
addressing the underlying causes of the behaviors. In the case of Jenni, a behavioral therapist would
look at Jenni's behaviors of disengaging from her friends and staying in bed all day as the main
problem. They would seek to either punish these behaviors or reward good behaviors, like when she
socializes or gets up and goes to work.
4. Cognitive Approach
Psychologists who follow the cognitive approach explain abnormality in terms of the thought
processes of the patient. Thought processes and perceptions are viewed as a major force on the
mentally ill, and treatment focuses on changing maladaptive thought patterns.
Humanistic Approach
The humanistic approach says that abnormality occurs when people are not able to be their authentic
selves. According to humanistic psychology, people can only be their authentic selves when their
physical and social needs are met first. However, because many people do not have those needs met,
they are not able to pursue their deepest, truest passions.
