main theories within psychology, it is time to apply the viewpoints
of Humanistic, Cognitive, Psychoanalytic and Behavioral
Psychology, which are some of the broadest and most widely used
theories in psychology. For this case study you will look at
an event through the lenses of these psychologists. School violence is a terrible tragedy that has affected many
children. One of the most infamous events was the shooting at
Columbine High School in Colorado in 1999. This involved two
students who killed 13 people and then killed themselves.
Most recently there was the tragedy at Newtown Connecticut in which
26 people were killed. Dr. Humine, is a humanistic psychologist, Dr. Cogent is a

behavior, and also address potential treatment options to try and
