Authentic Telling
Director of the Center for Families and Health at the Ackerman Institute, Evan Imber-Black, in her article, “Talk Show Telling versus Authentic Telling: The Effects of the Popular Media on Secrecy and Openness,” begins the introduction by providing her own insight of the topic, which would allow the audience to obtain a clear understanding of the perspective that Imber-Black embraces. In addition, the author would incorporate numerous sources that are centered on the dates of TV talk shows, increasing her credibility to the audience. As well, Imber-Black employs the emotional appeal when examining the accounts of individuals that confronted the secrets of their partners on national television. Lastly, this article was appealing to those that
lack the requirements in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs: love/belonging and self-actualization. Additionally, the foundation of the argument was that people would reveal their secrets on national Television, despite the consequences that would arise from this decision. This is reinforced by the abundant examples that were integrated by Imber-Black, which elaborates on the psychological aspect of how people express themselves. Likewise, the sources were based on the emotional appeal, bearing in mind that each secret had their own unique problem and solution. In addition, Imber-Black points out that literature, theater, and films mislead the concept of therapy, considering that people assume that it is alright to express their secrets on the first therapy session, when realistically it is a process that takes time. Furthermore, I determined that the author wrote an excellent article, which I would consider the article to remain at nine out of ten. Considering that Imber-Black remained as a trustworthy source, seeing that Imber-Black possesses a PhD in psychology and neurology, which the topic was based on. However, I did notice that Imber-Black did not incorporate sufficient statistics, because I was left wondering how many individuals would likely disclose their secrets on national television?
