Teaching Idea #1

Stockholm Syndrome
Read about the 1973 bank robbery, in which hostages developed strong emotional ties with their captors, leading to the acknowledgement of the psychological condition known as Stockholm Syndrome. What are the 4 components generally needed to diagnose Stockholm Syndrome? What are some of the criticisms made against this diagnosis? Read about a modern-day example, such as the abduction of Elizabeth Smart, and decide if Stockholm Syndrome applies to that situation.

Teaching Idea #2

Id, Ego, and Superego
Read about Sigmund Freud's id, ego, and superego of the human psyche. Create a chart that identifies when these aspects theoretically develop and what parts of the personality they control. In the Beauty and the Beast movie, give examples of how specific characters personify the id, ego, and superego.
