He remained there for several days. There was not enough information found to determine what kind of specific environment Kaczynski lived in, or what kind of diet he had.
Psychological Theory - Kaczynski believed that his parents and family verbally abused him. Somewhere down the line this abuse, whether actual or just a part of Kaczynski's mental state, would have an effect on his behavior. After the long stay in the hospital for the allergic reaction, Kaczynski's mother noted that he was "withdrawn, less responsive, and more fearful of separation from her after that point in time" (Johnson, 1998, 13). Several articles indicated that Kaczynski never really fit in with his peers throughout school. He actually believed that other students held certain opinions about him. According to journalist Ted Ottley, none of his peers really took notice of him (Ottley, 2004, Chapter 13, 11). It is easy to conclude that Kaczynski has some psychological problems. He was clinically diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic in 1996.
Sociological Theory - In a psychological evaluation done on Kaczynski, the place(s) he lived in were described as this:.
By the age of eight or nine, Mr. Kaczynski describes that he was no longer well accepted by the neighborhood children or his peers at school. The neighborhood children "bordered on delinquency" by his account, and he was not willing or interested in being involved in their activities. The family moved several times, bettering their housing status, eventually moving to Evergreen Park, Illinois, when he was approximately age 10. He describes this as a middle class suburb of Chicago. (Johnson, 1998, 17).
Kaczynski saw the other children in his neighborhood as bad influences and tried to stay away from them. As it says, Kaczynski's environment changed several times. Perhaps criminal behavior can be attributed to a lack of a stable environment.
Social-Psychological Theory - This school of theory is a combination of the ideas previously explained for the Sociological and Psychological schools.
