Abstract
This paper is a discussion of the Oedipal structures in Federico Fellini's deeply personal film, 8 1/2. The film is ostensibly autobiographical, but Fellini's reputation for fanciful rewriting of his own history makes it more revealing as a psychological document than as a biography.
From the Paper
"This paper is a discussion of the Oedipal structures in Federico Fellini's deeply personal film, 8 1/2. The film is ostensibly autobiographical, but Fellini's reputation for fanciful rewriting of his own history makes it more revealing as a psychological document than as a biography. Looked at from the perspective of the Sophoclean model of the Oedipus myth, the film offers some intriguing glimpses into several different kinds of triangular tragedies. Viewed from the Freudian angle, it also offers interesting examples of unconscious drives and murderous impulses. The Oedipal structures include not only the relationship among the main character and his parents but also a number of other father-mother-son relationships, especially that in which the filmmaker becomes parent to his own project. In many of these circumstances, the most challenging task is to..."

Film: Federico Fellini's "8 1/2", 2008.
Examines Federico Fellini's "8 1/2" as a film noir.

Abstract
This paper explains that film noir tends to bend time and to alter the normal chronology of a story as part of the thematic requirements suggesting connections between past and present and strengthening the idea of fate determining the course of events, as if those events were already set in time before they transpire. The post-modern approach to time infused much film making in the 1960s, making time a key element in the structure of the film. The author points out that Federico Fellini's film "81/2 "is autobiographical to a great degree, presented as a surreal meditation through the eyes of the film director, Guido, who dresses in the style of Fellini.
From the Paper
"In the next several sequence in the film, Guido interacts with his wife, his mistress, the writer of his film, the producer of the film, and a number of actors wanting to curry favor on the one hand and to get direction from Guido on the other. Guido's response in many of these encounters might be seen as distracted, and indeed he is considering his options, regretting the responsibility placed upon him by all of these people, and reconsidering his relationships one at a time."

Abstract
The paper provides a synopsis of the film, and praises Nino Rota's musical score and Gianni di Venanzo's cinematography. The paper concludes that the film demonstrates the failure of a quest for greatness with the acceptance of mediocrity.
From the Paper
"Guido is at a critical point in his career and he has been contracted to do a new film with the actors hired, a massive set of a spaceship built and a crew ready for production, but Guido has not a single germ of an idea for the movie. Beleaguered by actors wanting to know their parts, producers and crew asking what they should do, battling his own inner fears that ridicule his inabilities and at the same time his personal life is coming apart. Guido fantasizes likely scenes and his daydreams are brought to life through exquisite cinematography by Gianni di Venanzo, as he examines his life, his past and all his present problems."

Abstract
The paper explores how humanistic and existentialist psychology could help Marcello, the lead character in Federico Fellini's film, "La Dolce Vita". The paper shows the unhappiness inherent in Marcello's lifestyle and discusses how Marcello needs a father figure or a stern therapist that could authoritatively guide the boy towards manhood.
From the Paper
"In Fellini's 1960 film classic, La Dolce Vita, Marcelo Mastroianni plays a wandering play-boy journalist (Marcello Rubini) who seems unable to commit to anyone or to anything. For example, he threatens throughout to write a novel, but never really makes any substantive process on the matter. In terms of his personal relationships, Marcello appears to move from one woman to another without any great enthusiasm for establishing a meaningful relationship with any one of them."

Fellini's "8 +", 2002.
A look at how the self-referential structure of Fellini's "8 +" defines the film as an auteurist production.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper will discuss the work of a director who is generally acknowledged to be one of the great auteurs of modern cinema, Federico Fellini. It will be argued that his film "8 +" (1963) produces meaning through the tension between the director's personality and the material with which he is working; one of the defining elements of "auteurist" cinema. This paper will demonstrate that what renders "8 +" a work of an auteur is the extent to which Fellini mines the familiar pattern of self-reference - a signature of Fellini as auteur - to such a degree as to make the exploration of radical subjectivity into an objective statement about the role of the director as auteur and his function within the filmic text.

Hitchcock, Fellini and Godard, 2006.

Abstract
The word "auteur" has slipped from common usage when describing an artist of film. Perhaps, and there are critics that would rebut it, only Woody Allen is left as someone who is involved in every creative process of film making. The paper argues that while surely there were auteurs in the early days (D.W. Griffith , Charlie Chaplin, Mack Sennett and Cecil B. deMille), there are three pinnacles in recent times (i.e., since the 1950s) that truly deserve the name that was coined for them: Alfred Hitchcock, Jean-Luc Godard, and Federico Fellini. The paper shows how each provided audiences world-wide with a style that was uniquely theirs; some masterpieces and others just good entertainment. Each worked in a different country (countries, in Hitchcock's case, but mostly, his successes were in America), each brought a particular genre to the film, and it is as different auteurs that their work is examined and evaluated.
From the Paper
"La Strada, which was undoubtedly his first international success, Fellini considers "his most juvenile, lyrical, most confessional film." It was also one film which made Anthony Quinn a star- getting rid of his villain roles in American films, and providing him with a powerful image that changed his entire career. While it is often difficult for a writer-director, an auteur, to explain precisely what motivates the film, in the case of La Strada, Fellini said that "Jesus must be sought outside the church....Christ appears to men under different manifestations, even in the guise of a circus performer. Today we are finished with the Christ myth and await a new one." "

A Question of Auteurism: Cinematic Productions and Critical Responses, 2002.
A discussion of the auterism of three films, Kenneth Branagh's "Henry V", Federico Fellini's "La Strada" and Fritz Lang's "Metropolis".

Abstract
This paper will examine the critical responses to three films, which derive from both immediate and reflective criticism. The films to be discussed are Kenneth Branagh's "Henry V", Federico Fellini's "La Strada" and Fritz Lang's "Metropolis". It will be argued that central to the criticism of the three directors and their films are the sense in which each is regarded as an "auteur". All three cinematic texts produce meaning through the tension between the director's personality and the material with which he is working. It is this pervasive domination by the director of the cinematic text through manipulation of the 'mise en scene' that defines these works as that of "auteurs".

"La Dolce Vita", 2008.

Abstract
The paper examines Federico Fellini's Italian film "La Dolce Vita" within the context of its times. The paper looks at how the architecture in the film gives the movie greater resonance and depth and reveals the limitations in the character Marcello's pleasure-seeking view of the world. The paper is of the opinion that the film is a masterpiece by a master-craftsman that uses the architecture of Rome as a most effective tool.
From the Paper
"The period 1950-1960 was a difficult one in some respects for Italy. The nation's glory as the seat of power for the Roman Empire was obviously far in the past and the country was still suffering the lingering effects - loss of life and international disgrace - of Mussolini's unhinged efforts to gain for himself (and, secondarily, his country) power and standing by aligning (however uneasily) with Hitler; moreover, the country's embarrassing foray into North Africa during the war years (and during the lead-up to the war) was still fresh in mind. While it can be over-stated, one is tempted to suggest that the events of less than two decades earlier - along with the terrible human toll they exacted - fed a burgeoning cynicism that made Italian young people of the age disinclined to accept the mores of their parents; after all, the Second World War had been, for all intents and purposes, their parents' war. When viewed within that context, the spiritually bankrupt nature of many of La Dolce Vita's characters and the sense of decadence which pervades the film throughout seems to hint at a culture that has lost its way and turned against the strict injunctions and moral coda of earlier times."

Schizophrenia and the MMPI-2, 2007.
An examination of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) test and its use in diagnosing schizophrenia.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR) criteria for a diagnosis of schizophrenia, and focuses on several psychological tests that are used to discern schizophrenia from other forms of mental illness. The paper discusses how the psychological tests, while not a valid tool for a diagnosis independently, can greatly assist psychologists and psychiatrists in ensuring a complete and accurate diagnosis.
From the Paper
"In addition to exhibiting one or two of the symptoms above, a patient must also show signs of social or occupational dysfunction, occurring after the onset of the symptoms in the first set of criteria. These dysfunctions can include employment issues, difficulties in interpersonal relationships, or poor self-care. The symptoms must have persisted for at least six months, with at least one month of at least two of those symptoms listed in Criteria A. In the remaining months, known as residual periods, the patient may only exhibit only negative symptoms (DSM-IV-TR, 1994)."

Abstract
"The MMPI-2 (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory 2) is widely used as a tool to assess personality. It is used in applications as diverse as assessing symptoms of social and personal maladjustment, discerning whether people are suitable for high-risk public safety positions, and to support decisions regarding classification and treatment in the criminal justice system."
From the Paper
The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory 2 (MMPI-2) is a widely used tool to assess personality (Pearson Assessments). It is used in applications as diverse as assessing symptoms of social and personal maladjustment, discerning whether people are suitable for high-risk public safety positions, and to support decisions regarding classification and treatment in the criminal justice system (Pearson Assessments). Fundamentally, both the MMPI and the MMPI-2 were created to make comprehensive assessments of a range of personality characteristics and psychiatric syndromes exhibited by people with various psychological disorders (Harrington and Mcdermott).

Abstract
Considerations in working with venture capitalists tend to be legal in nature. The roles that are maintained by companies and by their financial partners are redefined when the ownership of the company is acquired by external financiers. The paper shows that in the example of ChipeX-2, the company needs to identify a future in which their control of the company might not be assured. This paper identifies the visions of ChipeX-2, how the company can approach legal issues in order to maintain control of their company, and where ChipeX-2 can go to receive help in order to make informed business decisions.
From the Paper
"Three former employees of ChipeX, Inc. have developed a prototype for a new microchip to power the next generation of personal computers. They have assurances from venture capitalists that they will receive whatever financing is needed to manufacture the chip, provided they take 51% of the ownership interest. The venture capitalists do not want to interfere in the business operations and have agreed to allow the developers to control the operations, provided certain financial objectives are achieved. They expect to begin manufacturing of the chip within two years. Based on outside evaluations, the chip should be a success. The expectation is that the new venture will go public, or be sold to investors, within five years. Introduction Considerations in working with venture capitalists tend to be legal in nature."
