I really hate it when my girlfriend talks to other guys and then I lash out and say really awful things to her.
5. Psychoanalytic approaches – Freud
3. Biological reductionist approaches
A psychoanalyst with a Freudian view may explain the jealousy and eventual guilt through the id, ego and super ego. The id causes the feelings of jealousy and the lash out against the girlfriend which represent his true feelings and desires, which overcome the ego in the moment. He knows he shouldn’t lash out and so the super ego then comes into play after, which brings feelings of guilt and remorse, as the super ego is the self critic regarding morality.
A biological reductionist may conclude that the behaviour is a result of certain bodily pathways being stimulated by specific stimuli. The resultant aggressive behaviour is considered the phenotype and is due to the arousal of certain parts of the brain which are triggered by (in this case) external stimuli. The individual in this situation may be quickly autonomically aroused leading to quick reactions with little or no cognitive consultation. After once brain activity returns to normal the individual resorts back to cognitive appraisal of his actions and feels remorse.
A Psychoanalyst may suggest psychoanalytic therapy where a physician would guide the patient to understanding the reasons behind his aggressive behaviour which may have been pushed into the unconscious. A biological reductionist may suggest an assortment of drugs or techniques to limit or engage certain areas of the brain to avoid the behaviour in the future.
