Rotten’s fingerprints are found all over the murder weapon left at the scene, his DNA is found under Polly’s fingernails as well as inside her, a security camera caught the crime on video, with clear views of Rotten’s face, and he even managed to leave his wallet, containing his driver’s license, at the crime scene.

3. Crash Dieting Syndrome

Description:

Crash dieting syndrome is caused by extreme caloric restriction, oftentimes coupled with excessive exercise (namely steady-state cardio). Time-frame can range anywhere from a few days to several months.

People who crash diet are in a hurry to drop the most amount of fat in a short time frame. Crash dieting can take multiple forms, including but not limited to: consuming only a select few specific foods (eg. only crackers and lemons), engaging in bizarre rituals, and mixing together foods that suddenly possess magical power.

Crash Dieting Syndrome (CDS) typically starts in the teen years but can affect individuals at any age. This syndrome is much more common with females than with males, though recent years has seen an increasing number of males falling victim to this trend.

4.Humanistic/Person-Centered Theory

Description:

Humanistic therapies evolved in the USA during the 1950s.  Carl Rogers proposed that therapy could be simpler, warmer and more optimistic than that carried out by behavioral or psychodynamic psychologists.

His view differs sharply from the psychodynamic and behavioral approaches in that he suggested that clients would be better helped if they were encouraged to focus on their current subjective understanding rather than on some unconscious motive or someone else's interpretation of the situation.

Rogers strongly believed that in order for a client's condition to improve therapists should be warm, genuine and understanding. The starting point of the Rogerian approach to counseling and psychotherapy is best stated by Rogers (1986) himself:

'It is that the individual has within himself or herself vast resources for self-understanding, for altering his or her self-concept, attitudes and self-directed behavior - and that these resources can be tapped if only a definable climate of facilitative psychological attitudes can be provided'.
