Dr. Sigmund Freud Psychiatrist

I know, Freud was a psychiatrist not a psychologist,
but it still seemed appropriate.

• As the psychologist you will be responsible for researching and describing the emotional symptoms suffered by John Merrick throughout his life. Use the websites listed in the "Process Page" to guide your study.



• You will study the life of Mr. Merrick: His family, childhood, adult life, the setting in which he grew up and lived, etc. to gather the appropriate information.



• Once you have completed your research you will need to decide for yourself whether John Merrick fits the typical psychological profile for someone suffering from his disorder during the late 19th century. Then you will develop a well organized persuasive essay (5 paragraph; 1page) supporting your opinion.
