“The actualising tendency refers to the tendency in all forms of organic life towards more complex organisation, the fulfilment of potential, and in human beings, the actualisation of the whole person including the persons self” (Merry 2002). Through my own experience I believe there is a need for positive self regard in order for an individual to make positive choices and trust in their own decisions.”To develop a sense of trust in the accuracy and reliability of our own inner experiencing” (Merry 2002). Again through personal experiences I understand the effect of the conditions of worth have on individuals. I believe that these affect us later in life and can be explored
Once the needs have been fulfilled or achieved, people are then able to move to the next level. Maslow believed that these needs are similar to instincts and play a major role in motivating behavior (Cherry, 2010). Existentialism uses a philosophical approach which is called phenomenology. Phenomena are the contents of consciousness within an individual which are, the things, qualities, relationships, acts, memories, feelings, thoughts, fantasies, images, events, and so on, which we experience in our
It is the rational part of the mind and is always seeking to do what is most helpful for the individual. Different behaviours can be understood by trying to infer which part of the mind is dominant at any time. A person who is very submissive, guilty and always wanting to please may have a very strong superego. A person who is impulsive, careless of other people’s feelings, does not think about the consequences of their actions and can be quite aggressive either verbally or physically, probably has a dominant id. A person who can be submissive and assertive when necessary, who is able to think about other people’s feelings but also take into consideration their own needs, has probably got a strong
Psychodynamic is the next theory that fits as well. This is associated more with childhood experiences and the unconscious mind of the individual. According to Grove (1994), “But are persons really responsible for their actions in the sense that they (1) assess the possible alternative courses of action available to them, (2) choose a particular course, and (3) construct a complex set of acts to achieve intended results” (p. 74). Our laws, our religions, and our emotional responses are established on the principles that these are factual intentions. When the events of others have an effect on our lives, and we recognize their reactions to be determined entirely by power beyond their limitations, there is then no cause for feelings of either anger or gratitude (Grove,
We have different likes and dislikes, come from different cultural backgrounds and will have been brought up in environments that have provided us with different outlooks, values and perspectives. As we learnt in the previous module, when we use hypnosis with a client we are working with the subconscious mind so in order to achieve the best chance to success we need to do our utmost to assist our clients to realise the most beneficial state possible. There are several techniques that we can employ that alter the language we use to suit the personality and individuality of the client and this is what we are going to be studying in this
These differences are what make us all unique because of these differences people have different ways of dealing with certain situations, different coping mechanisms and various levels of openness or resistance. It is due to these differences that require a hypnotherapist to take these variables into consideration when devising a therapy strategy and selecting the techniques to be used for the individual so as to achieve the best result from the therapy when working with the subconscious mind (Chrysalis,. 2012). The screeds in the inductions is to include as many likes as possible while trying to reduce the dislikes where possible, no dislikes. The likes of the individuals can have more effect on relaxation of the individual person increasing the calmness feeling to maximum, where
Critical thinking allows us the chance to place importance and meaning on our past and current situations; while at the same time, shaping, molding, and directing the outcomes of our future by influencing our choices and decisions that we will make. Critical thinking “provides the tools of mind you need to think through any and everything that requires thoughts. . . “(R. Paul & L. Elder 2006) The Aspects of Critical Thinking In addition to our ordinary level of thinking which involves making decisions and choices that can contain the whole spectrum of thoughts based on rational/irrational behaviors, urges, and assumption; Critical thinking requires that thinking be analyzed and assessed.
However, thing would have been different if creative thought would have been involved in pursuing people to use preventive measures in outlast the situation. In similar situation, it is important to think creatively and critically in order for people to get informed and ease their mind which adds more chances of survival (Caroselli, 2011). Define free will, truth, knowledge, and opinion. Explain how we use them to form thoughts. What role does each play in critically assessing situations?
Outline and evaluate research into STM and LTM. Short term memory (STM) is memory for immediate events. STMs last for a very short time and disappear unless they are rehearsed. The STM store has a limited duration and limited capacity. This type of memory is sometimes referred to as working memory because it is used in comprehending languages, solving problems, and so on.
Personality Theories There is an array of theories under the psychodynamic category of personality theories. Many theorists contributed to these, and all have his or her own outlook on how personality develops within individuals. Each theory’s main assumptions will be covered, as well as comparing the source of behavior in regards to free will and the conscious or unconscious state of mind. As Smith (2007) describes, there are three ways in which an individual will resolve anxiety with others: moving toward people, moving away from people, or moving against people. The use of these three is not limited to just one, but a healthy and stable individual will use all of these strategies depending on the specific situation, and use them in a positive context.
