what's real inside you and what isn't."—John Lennon
Without
each
other's
knowledge,
two
sharp
English
majors
conducted
research
on
ideas
around
the
mental
health
of
these
very
notable
but
worlds-apart
world
figures.
We
found
their
work
in
TCNJ's
Journal
of
Student
Scholarship
—
and
got
a
little
twisted
ourselves.
Prized
The
inaugural
2016
Adeline
Hoffman
Prize
for
stellar
research
goes
to
Cavallaro,
along
with
a
sweet
$1,500
check.
"Exposing
the
Voice
of
Truth:
A
Psychological
Profile
of
John
Lennon"
Did
Lennon
have
borderline
personality
disorder?
"Deborah
Fade's
essay
is
brilliant.
None
of
Lennon's
biographers
consider
the
BPD
diagnosis."
"Western
(Mis)perceptions
of
Tsar
Ivan
IV
Vasilyevich
the
'Terrible'"
Was
Russia's
Ivan
insane,
or
are
historians
throwing
him
shade
while
giving
a
pass
to
Western
European
contemporaries
committing
the
same
state
violence?
"Albert's
essay
represents
TCNJ
undergraduate
research
at
its
best."
