  • James Eagan Holme Massacre

    (O’Neill, Weisfeldt, & Cabrera, 2015, para. 24) On the opposing end, a defense psychiatrist found that Holmes was psychotic and he had a warped view of reality. The psychiatrist, Raquel Gur, said, “The severe defect in his brain made him incapable of distinguishing right from wrong by societal standards” (O’Neill, Weisfeldt, & Cabrera, 2015, para. 25). I believe that James Holmes is a psychopath and according to the DSM-5, suffers from antisocial personality disorder. Holmes obviously has a disregard for other lives and lacks empathy. He felt that with each life that he ended, his life began to add value. In an interview with an appointed psychiatric, Holmes said “he gained nothing from injuring people or leaving them behind to grieve for the dead. He spoke of the 70 people wounded as ‘collateral damage’” (O’Neill, Weisfeldt, & Cabrera, 2015, para. 42). With the ending of his romantic relationship before the massacre, that is also an example of James lacking the ability to maintain relationships. It is believed that along with the ending relationship with Lynne Fenton, he had few relationships. I also think that moving at the pivotal age of 12 created depression and most likely anxiety in Holmes and began to create the personality disorder. Holmes did not

  • Sherlock Holmes Isolation

    Sherlock Holmes is a truly interesting and captivating character to examine in the context the world around him. Obviously, his intellect sets him apart from the rest of the world, but the way his superior intellect affects his behavior is also fascinating. Time after time he appears to react in a contradictory way to other characters in the book: He avoids emotion at all costs, he doesn’t search for justice, simply to complete the problem and find truth, he doesn’t believe in anything supernatural, and, perhaps most perplexingly, it is in times of isolation that he is the most brilliant. This contradiction to the rest of the characters in the story is what makes Sherlock Holmes such an interesting subject for a novel and Doyle using Sherlock’s

    He was raised in a family where abuse was the norm, a typical form of disciplinary measures, and then experienced comparable abuse during school at the hands of his peers. Abuse—and violence in general—is the basis of how Holmes was socialized throughout his childhood and he never knew anything different. Holmes’ self-concept developed inappropriately in his childhood as the abuse . Additionally, he learned these actions did not have consequences, at least not in the milder context he was subject to. Due to the fact that no one ever received punishment for abusing Holmes, he probably expected not to be reprimanded as well; this gave him confidence that he would evade capture, and ultimately assisted him in executing these murders. Furthermore, Holmes was understandably aggravated with the treatment he received and he felt he needed scapegoats to take out his frustrations on since he was incapable of retaliating against his parents and

  • H. H. Holmes: The Use Of Serial Killers

    1035 Words  | 3 Pages

    Holmes’ past and behaviors we start to see a pattern of disregard and lack of remorse (H.H. Holmes Biography, 2015; Freeman 2007). The use of criminal profiling does have its limits when it comes to the accuracy of specific characterizes and behaviors, but is an important tool for investigators to use (Winerman, 2004). Looking at the organized and disorganized characteristics associated with serial killers, we see a few from each (Freeman, 2007). Holmes organizational characteristics include Holmes’ college education, his killing in one place and disposing of the body in another place, his dismemberment of his victims, he was socially adequate, and he had a normal to high IQ (Freeman, 2007). Organized serial killers are cunning and methodical about not only how they kill their victims, but how they approach, attack and dispose of their victims (Geberth, 1995). Most serial killers do not finish college, so Holmes was quite an exception to the stereotypical serial killer (H.H. Holmes, 2004). Holmes and some serial killers manipulate their victims through highly persuasive and charming behaviors (What Motivates Serial Killers to kill 2007). When it comes to Holmes’ disorganized characteristics we see that he lived near the crime scene, and he left physical evidence (Freeman, 2007). Holmes could be labeled a psychopath as he showed a lack of conscious, remorse, and guilt for his actions (H.H. Holmes, 2004; Johns,

    In this article, the author discusses a model created by Nicholas Hobbs called the Re-EDucation model. The article focuses on four principles used within the model, “trust between adult and child is essential, competence makes a difference, self-control can be taught, and in growing up, a child should know some joy each day and look forward to some joyous event for the morrow” (Shepard, 2011). I feel this form of Re-Education model based counseling could be extremely beneficial to Mark and his family. I feel it is very important that Mark and Mr. Walker work on establishing trust within their relationship. I also believe a healthy functional relationship between Mark and his family is possible; however I think the entire family could benefit from understanding and acknowledging their capability and competency in establishing a healthy family relationship. Mark could definitely benefit from the teaching of self-control outlined in this model, as well as the focus on finding some joy in today and looking forward to something joyful in tomorrow, this idea is similar to that of the instillation of hope. I believe this Re-Ed model would be a great tool and model in working with Mark and his family in a therapeutic

  • Comparing Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Jekyll comparison compare contrast essays

    1879 Words  | 4 Pages

    It seems to suggested that Jekyll and Holmes are looking for ways to extend their power over those they encounter.  Because of this they seek to find pleasing forms of immortality.  For Jekyll it is the ability to extend his life by using the special powder.  Following this measure Jekyll hopes to take advantage of living the life he always knew he could never have. Regarding his feelings of his life as a young man he says, " many a man would have even blazoned such irregularities as I was guilty of; but from the high views that I had set before me I regarded and hid them with an almost morbid sense of shame" (42).  Holmes condition regarding immortality is different than Dr. Jekyll.  Since he cannot extend himself in the same physical alteration as Jekyll, he hopes to do it in a lasting remembrance.  Holmes presents himself as a renaissance man.  His wide interests outside of academics include boxing.  In a conversation with a former boxing champion Holmes states, " I don't think you could have forgotten me.  Don't you remember that amateur who fought three rounds with you at Alison's room on the night of your benefit four years back?"  The champion responds, " If instead o' standin' there so quite you had just stepped up and given me that cross-hit of your under the jaw, I'd ha' known you without a question" (165).  Holmes is certainly not void of the chemical influence in his search for immortality.  When Watson asks Holmes about any other professional inquires he may wish to investigate Holmes responds, " None.  Hence the cocaine.  I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for?" (142).  It would seem that although chemical alteration is apart of Holmes life, maybe this chemical dependence is needed for Holmes to complete his professional work in a certain type of manner, and might just help him in reaching his ultimate goal of immortality.
