Charles Manson Charles Manson was born on November 12, 1934, in Cincinnati, Ohio. His mother, Kathleen Maddox, a 16 year old girl was an alcoholic and prostitute. She later married William Manson. The marriage did not last. So, therefore he ended up being placed in a boy school. Since his mother didn’t want anything to do with him, Manson was soon living on the streets and getting by through petty crimes. “By 1952, Manson was soon spending more time in prison. In total he spent more than half his life, 17 years, incarcerated. He was noted for being a `model prisoner’ (Bio).” A model prisoner means good conduct while incarcerated.

Even though she was not around long; she was still a big reason he turned out to be the person he was. I believe Charles falls in the behaviorist perspective. Charles problems are way worst then being an alcoholic, but if his mother was not one and was a loving mother that was there for him. Then he probably would not have turned out to be so bad. “Alcoholism has been termed a ‘family disease’ for a good reason. It impacts not only the world of the alcoholic, but the entire family become victims to its effects. Studies have shown that children who have alcoholic parents grow up to have deep-seated emotional problems, which can manifest through destructive behavior. Having an alcoholic parent can be likened to being on a continual rollercoaster, making children feel insecure, vulnerable, anxious, and sometimes as though it is their fault. As adults, children of alcoholics can find it hard to be successful or to develop close personal relationships
