Psychology – Gleitman
Themes of bodily mutilation were common, ( woman killed her husband and then
stuffed parts of his body into a camel's head)
In contrast, normal's dreams were comparatively mild and ordinary. Result fits. Schizophrenics ofthe jump from one idea to another without maintaining firm
line of thought. As a result their behavior often appears bizarre. It seems their extremely bizarre and morbid dreams are simply an exaggeration of a condition
already present intheir waking life.
Task of Psychology:
What holds for dreams holds for most other psychological phenomena- they can all be viewed from several perspectives. Each perspective is valid but none is
complete without the others, for psychology is a field of many faces and to see it fully, we must see them all.
