Child of Rage Movie
In the Film, Child of rage, directed by Larry Peerce, there was a child named Catherine that would have huge outbursts of violent rage. Her actions could be analyzed through the Freudian Model. As her parents were highly concerned because she appeared like a normal young child, as well as her blood related younger brother Eric. As a couple adopted both Catherine and Eric they both came off as sweet and timid, however Catherine started displaying violent acts such as baby birds and attacking Eric while he was sleeping. As those incidents occurred they went unnoticed by the couple buy as soon as she started ripping her room apart and stabbing the family dog with a needle, then the adoptive parents were concerned. As they asked the caseworker that give them the children, she couldn’t say anything but expected the couple to bring back the kids because they could not be handled. As the couple kept looking for answers another incident with Catherine happened. Catherine fondles with her grandfather, so both Rob and Jill, her adoptive parents, brought her to a psychologist. As Catherine put on a good show for the psychologist, he did not believe anything was wrong with her. As most of her episodes progressed Jill noticed fresh bruises on Eric’s stomach, too scared to admit that it was Catherine who caused it. But her next episode was extreme Catherine smashed Eric’s head onto a concrete floor landing him into the hospital from there Eric no longer lived with Catherine, Jill and Rob, but with his grandparents; until they resolved Catherine’s behavior. At this time, the caseworker finally told them the horrible story of how they found Catherine and Eric. When they found them, both Catherine and Eric were in neglectful home with no sign of the mother nor father; their biological mother was hospitalized with pneumonia while their biological father was drunk who knows where. After finally knowing what happened to Catherine and Eric they got in contact with an older sister

    The Brice family was referred to family therapy by a noted child psychiatrist. The psychiatrist was working with the teenage daughter, Claudia, for about 6 months. He felt that she was getting worse alternatively he referred the entire family to therapy. The family was hesitant to participate in family therapy. At the first meeting, the 11 year old son, Don, was not in attendance. Since it seemed like Don decided not to show to the session, Carolyn, the mother felt that it would be no problem to start the session. Dr. Napier expressed to the family that he felt it would be a mistake to begin and continue without Don. In family therapy the goal is for change within the entire family and it would be unfair to the family to not have him be a part of that process. Carolyn continued her argument that they were referred to family therapy because of their problems with Claudia, which Don had nothing to do with. Dr. Napier informed her and the rest of the family, that their assumption that Claudia was the problem was just the surface of their problems.…

    This perspective is very much based on the early work of Sigmund Freud. It is believed that behaviour is made from a child’s subconscious feelings, which all come from life experiences. It is viewed as a child’s problem as an outward and visible symptom of invisible conflicts. All the conflicts may come from trauma, loss, or from a strained/troubled relationship with parents or carers. Children do not have any inner resources that help them understand their feelings completely so they may be shown in inappropriate and difficult behaviour.…
