Psychological Analysis of Walter Sickert

February 20, 2020 1 Comment English and Literature, MLA

Psychological Analysis of Walter Sickert
: a 1000- to 1200-word analysis of one of the Jack the Ripper
suspects, Victorian actor and artist Walter Sickert. You will interpret Sickerts personality and behavior
using a documented psychological theory, such as Freuds tripartite psyche, Ulric Neissers five kinds of
self-knowledge, or Erik Eriksons psychosocial development, among others. The ability to analyze human
personality and behavior using a psychological theory can open spaces for communication between
individuals from diverse backgrounds because it perhaps makes us more aware of how humans are
impacted by, and also interact with, social and physical environments. You might need to read the book Portrait Of a Killer Jack The ripper Case Closed by Patricia Cronwell. Ill provide you with anything you dont understand or if you have questions.
