The Voyage and Psychological Development in Homer's Odyssey Homer's Odyssey arguably stands out head and shoulders above any other piece of epic literature produced by Western civilization for nearly three millennia.

The most common effect is that maltreated children are, essentially, rejected. These destructive experiences impact on the developing child, increasing the risks for emotional, behavioral, social and physical problems throughout life.

In this essay I intend to discuss two psychological theories of development; The psychodynamic approach and the behavioural approach. In order to do this, I will outline each theory and explain how it accounts for psychological development, health and behaviour of the individual.

Child development refers to the biological, psychological and emotional changes that occurs in each human at the start of birth until the end of adolescence. It has a predictable process but is unique for every child. Numerous factors influence child development including cultural norms and peer groups. Parents also play an important role in their child’s development. Young children develop a sense of self from their perceptions of important people around them, including parents, teachers, and peers
The four levels of Psychological Development are the biological level, basic processes level, person level and sociocultural level. The biological level is about the brain and behaviour and cognitive abilities, and the changes that occur in the body with its various systems.

Question Two: It is essential for children to have healthy psychological development, and this can be affected by many situations.

This serves not only to show increased levels of mental development from all parties involved, that is Marlow, the frame narrator and the reader - but distances Conrad from the text in such a way that he can promote revolutionary issues without necessarilty being attached to them. The character of Marlow does just this - he is far from neutral and is employed by Conrad to position the reader by offering a double-dose of psychological development from Marlow, and the framed narrator.

Is Violence in Films Responsible For Children's Agressive Behavior? Violence on screen is often offered to the young population, which responds to it in so different ways. Children's psychological development is based on social experiences and imitations.

intended audience – children. Both traditional and contemporary fairytales experienced by children can have harmful effects on a child’s psyche. This is especially true when children are exposed to these fairytales during the early stages of psychological development. When do we most often expose children to the fairytale?

accessories, while Jerry is ostracized for his faded wear. The situation is simply not equitable. Tom comes from a ‘normal’ family and has potentially the love of both parents. Jerry has had to come to terms with only one parent. Hence in terms of psychological development, they are not equal.
