Introduction Since the time of Enlightenment‚ Western ideas of health have been dominated by the biomedical approach. The basis on which these opinions are founded is that an individual is not responsible for their illness and that the mind and body work separately from each other. Health‚ in the eyes of this approach can be deemed as simply the absence of disease. Part of the reason this vision of health has dominated so much‚ is that it’s practiced by the majority of the health professionals and

The first question that I tackled was what do of a client makes a sexist or racist remark. The advice that the book suggests is somewhat vague‚ honestly. They suggest to both acknowledge and diminish the comment‚ depending on the circumstance. The authors say the need to address such is dependent on the client’s illness and the therapist’s values (Pipes & Davenport‚ 1999). There is a distinction made as to how to handle the comment if the client shares the same race or sex as the therapist. My take

The answer is neither‚ seeing as both styles of critic views and analyzes the topic at hand and gives feedback. Though both styles offer feedback‚ they are different forms of feedback entirely. New criticism involves focusing on the material at hand‚ and not what it was meant to be perceived as‚ to judge the topic by every measurable feature possible. Reader response criticism is when

may be dysfunctional‚ but they aren’t emotionally insensitive or unintelligent‚ and are very likely to hear the implied feelings of the therapist. Obviously‚ this will do little to establish or maintain the kind of trust necessary for effective counselling. I need to recognise this more in myself. I am sure that intellectually I try to have no prejudices; however I know that I do because I can tell by the tone of my voice or the little voice that may appear in my head.

INTRODUCTION Psychodynamic counselling and therapy involves a number of important elements‚ which perhaps is what makes the psychodynamic approach more and more interesting to those who go on developing in their work. (E.g. Erik Erikson ’s work on life stages and the object relation theory) While in no sense wishing to undervalue the importance of basic listening and responding skills‚ nor the centrality of a positive therapeutic relationship‚ the ongoing experience of working with people leads

Let’s get this straight first. I actually applaud Malcolm Gladwell for writing his book Outliers. His theories throughout the book touched ideas that I wouldn’t even begin to think about or question. He gave support for his theories and spent a lot of time describing occurrences that seemed to prove them (as you can guess I’m a bit skeptical about some). I actually enjoyed reading once I got myself to actually focus and read. You see‚ it’s not the type of book that you don’t want to put down;
