Holden Caulfield Diagnostic

Holden Caulfield Medical Diagnosis Holden Caulfield Medical Diagnosis Dear Mister and Misses Caulfield, my cry is Dr Connor Grist and I have been mister Holden Caulfields psychologist over the past couple weeks. intercommunicate him about his life story and what he has gone through. Through his commentary of his life story, I was able to uncover 3 key behavioral characteristics that I believe he suffers from. Through my research, I believe that he suffers he uses profanity laced vocabulary and abusive language oft. He is besides dispirit, sad and disturbed through his life story that he has told me.Fin on the wholey he is also withdrawn seclusive and fri conclusionless because of his inability to overlook flaws in people. This information has let me to diagnose him with Depression-Anxiety. For the time era in which Holden grew up (1970s) he has a very profanity laced vocabulary, which is most promising because of his anxiety and depression. Throughout the bind he could have quite by chance said the phrase God Dam more than 100 times. Although this would be more supported today, a generation or two ago this would have been very frowned upon for a teenager to talk like that.Holden is also hypocritical in a way with his swearing because near the goal of the book he begins to try and erase all of the profanity on the wall and while he thinks that he is ridding the world of evil, he often is the source of some of the evil with his swearing. Throughout the book, you can often acknowledge and sense that Holden is quite depressed and sad all of the time. This is because near the end of the book, he is trying the play the role of the Catcher but he soon realizes that he can never rid the world of all the evil that he doesnt want Phobe to see.He tells Phoebe that he wants to obstruct children from growing up. He blames the worlds corruption on adults and believes that when he stops the children from growing up he will preserve their artlessness and save the world. Finally, he realizes that not only is there nothing that he can do, but there is nowhere he can go to hide from it. Ironically enough, it is one of the innocent children that he is trying to cherish who helps him come to terms with this realization. It is Phoebe who challenges his plan to escape out west.As he is telling Phoebe that she cannot solve away, he discovers that he too cannot run away. You cant ever find a place that is comminuted and peaceful, because there isnt any. The final breakdown comes near the end of the book when he is watching Phoebe on the carousel. As all the kids on the carousel try to grab the golden rings, Holden hits the final breakdown. Being the catcher becomes obviously unrealistic. Finally Holden is usually withdrawn and friendless because of his inability to accept people for who they are and constantly pick out their flaws.As you immortalize and read through the book, you will get the sense the Holden has never really had a true f riend. He is usually nice to most people but really he thinks that they are phonies. An example of this would be on knave 77 where Holden Says, She was a funny girl, old Jane. I wouldnt incisively describe her as strictly beautiful. She knocked me out though. She was dissever of muckle-mouthed. When she was talking, her mouth sort of went in about 50 different directions her lips and all .This quote shows that eve the people Holden likes a lot, such as Jane Gallagher he still has to be judgmental and find the flaws in them. This ultimately leads to Holden existence forever alone in the book. In Conclusion, Holden Caulfield has been diagnosed with a anxiety-depression disorder because of his profanity laced vocabulary, his depressed sad and disturbed state, and his inability to accept people for who they are without being judgmental and picking out their flaws. A treatment recommendation for this would be to continue therapy sessions and anti-depressant medication.
