Freddie Ramos We can all agree that friends make our lives better. They encourage us when we’re feeling down and make us laugh. Friends make us feel good, almost anyone would agree. But the article by Tara Parker-Pope, “What Are Friends For?” goes beyond this simple point. The article presents ample evidence that having friends not only makes us happier, it also makes us healthier, both mentally and physically.
Personalised affirmation will be more specifically tailored to the problem at hand and consequently be more effective using standard scripts as anything more than a template for a therapist to expand on and adapt would be providing a less than satisfactory treatment plan for the client, as it may not help them. Many people still have negative believe about hypnosis, they believe that when you mentioned hypnosis therapy, they look at you with a strange eye because they believed hypnosis is all about con people in doing what they do want to do and that believe is against the ideal of hypnosis which give you the believe that you yourself have the answer to your
There is no way to calculate actual members, as these fellowships do not keep attendance (anonymous) records. Although some growth may be attributed to, increased population, availability of information, (such as the internet), and improved public transportation, it is reasonable to deduct that if this approach to recovery from addiction were not affective it would not prosper. While this data is convincing there is still a long running debate regarding the effectiveness of these programs for “every” addicted person. Three of the most prominent disagreements are; the concept
These side effects may affect one person but not another. This would be hard to study as you can not say it is exactly one thing, and then you would have to look at the extraneous variables which affect each problem. However, this could also be good as it is not really being reductionist in its own approach; it is looking at all the possible individual differences. If choosing a different approach, like cognitive, then it would still be difficult because you do not know what the person is thinking. You would have to rely on the patient giving you the information for it not is socially desirable or have demand characteristics.
The authors did determine that the substance abusing individuals did not have a proper way of coping with their anger and determined that this was problematic; hence the need for the Forgiveness Therapy. The authors did determine that the lack of anger management skills and the previous used skills were inadequate and triggered further negative emotions such as depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and violence. In the article the authors did move from topic to topic and not just from one citation to another; the authors did rely on sound research in the field but did not overly rely on it to make their point. The authors were able to ascertain that individuals in the past have tried to rely on the techniques they have used in the past to avoid relapse, but these have remained to fail them in the end. Individual substance abuse clients have benefitted from the forgiveness therapy, the research shows.
Although most gangs are viewed as a kind of plague to society, some of them don’t see themselves that way. There are many that actually try and give back to their community in positive way but the problem is that the bad outweighs the good in everyone else’s mind. There is a large lack of social skills with gang members because they don’t know how to interact with people outside of their gang and get a positive reaction. Most people outside of their gang are not going to understand why they act the way they act, or do the things they do so there is going to be a communication barrier there. If the members of gangs were more understood in society then they probably wouldn’t be in one to begin with.
Some people find it hard to trust there therapist and some people don’t fully trust hypnosis. I believe there is an argument for both personalised and general scripts. I don’t think either is better or worse then the other,
Example | Strength | Weakness | Related Theory | Prevents confusion | Having an interpreter to communicate socially if the person is deaf or blind. | Not having an interpreter will make it so that they are unable to communicate socially, which will make them feel isolated and frustrated. | This can be related to Tuckman’s Theory of Group Interaction because the interpreter and blind or deaf person have to work as a team so that they can interact socially. | | Doctor explaining how a Patient should take their medicine. | If the patient has to take more than one type of medication at the same time; they will get confused if the Doctor hasn’t clearly explained how they should take it.
Unfortunately, the general society is unforgiving toward those with special needs or differences. Those who don’t understand may become frustrated or have harsh words toward the individual exhibiting the TBI symptoms. This new treatment by the public may cause the individual to turn inward or stop seeking social experiences. Support of family members, close friends and therapists can alleviate some of these stress and anxiety felt by the
Drug abuse is the use of a substance that modifies the mood, or behavior in a manner characterized by a maladaptive pattern of use. People do not know or understand why people get addicted to drugs. People think that the person did not have a strong will or just wanted to know what this drug or that drug was like, but no one would tell you the truth about how they got started abusing drugs. People think that if you tell someone to stop using drugs they think that the person would stop right, but when they notice that the person has not stopped they jump to a conclusion. Most drugs that people get hooked on is not as easy to get off of as the user thinks, cause some people have the mindset that they will only do it once in a while, but before they know it, it becomes a daily thing for them.
