hi aubrey....welcome to recom, and the psychology sig...

hehe...

the more the better...cz number of crazy people are increasing..but i hope the psychologists in turn won't get crazy..infected by crazy people...

aubrey · #35 04-03-2006 **what is crazy?**

hello vsehua!

what would you define by crazy, personally? in chinese societies until lately, crazy would include those who see or hear voices. i suspect that some still do think so (whether in singapore, malaysia, taiwan, hk etc elsewhere). the way they would explain this craziness is- ghosts.

in psychology, you'd say too, they are crazy, but offer a different explanation- past childhood (Freud) schizophrenia (biomedical/abnormal psychology) brain trauma/acquired injury (neuropscyhology)

so what say you, friend? i am interested in what you guys think.

**vseehua** · #36 04-03-2006

hmm....in this context i mean those who had stressed themselves over the limit, ie, with psychological problems...

hehe...i always refer to myself as the ghost..yea..i'm one of those crazy ones as well..

Hi there, Mr Casper @ the ghost.

Another so-called future engineer here.

Intro: Just call me Opera Ghost.

I'm a JPA scholar, will be flying to the United States to read Engineering this coming Fall. Currently I'm enjoying my last week in INTEC Shah Alam under American Degree Foundation Program (ATU12).

I'm taking Introduction to Psychology in my third semester. The book we use is "Psychology- An Introduction" by Benjamin B. Lahey (eighth edition) Actually I'm supposed to study for my last psychology test right now. Hehe..

I find the subject not only educational but enlighting as well. I learn more about myself and human behavior in general. So far the topics we covered include: biological foundations of behavior, states of consciousness, basic principles of learning, memory, developmental psychology, motivation and emotion, personality theories and assessment, stress and health

What I have learned is just, of course, a tiny scratch out of a gigantic iceberg. Or just the thin vapour hovering on top of it, perhaps. How can someone possibly understand psychology well in two months' time? I will probably get a minor in psychology later. (That is, if I can cope with my engineering course well enough.

) Now I wish to read more on this vast topic. Any recommendations? (I prefer something light, don't give me a dictionary-size textbook!)
