Both similarities and differences in these approaches will be brought to light and I will conclude with personal reflection. Motivational Interviewing came about initially as a way to help people dealing with substance abuse and addiction problems. Bill Miller and Steve Rollnick are the therapists that created Motivational Interviewing in the late 1970’s. To give background, in the late 1970’s the only requirement by the state to provide addiction counseling was that the provider be in recovery him/herself. This was because we had almost no research on what addiction actually was; therefore, we could not possibly introduce successful treatment modalities.
In this selection from the autobiography of Malcolm X titled “My First Conk”, readers will find out about Malcolm X's first real step towards what he calls “self-degradation”. Although there is no exact thesis stated in the excerpt there are still clear points stated throughout the reading. When Malcolm X wrote this piece the idea was to show the reader how society can make one feel like they must change to be considered better than who and what an individual really is. It is also expressed that one's individuality can be taken away and the negative outcomes one can struggle with after that change. It is described that society can be a truly horrifying thing and the ways men and women try to fit in can be both shameful in the long

Substance abuse is pervasive in the United States. Failure to screen for substance use could lead to lack of treatment or ineffective treatment. Although there are screening instruments for assessing substance abuse potential, there are no brief screening instruments that approach substance abuse from the subtle platform of personality dimensions. Guided by Eysenck's personality theory, this archival study of accused or convicted felons federally mandated to mental health or substance abuse treatment (N = 180) examined personality traits and substance abuse proclivity and validated a shortened assessment by comparing the scores on the Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory (SASSI) to the Personality Assessment Screener (PAS) through canonical
Thokozile Nkosi W130/Bye 14, September, 2012 Culture and Success In author and publisher, Gary Colombo’s essay “Thinking Critically, Challenging Cultural Myths”, he claims that culture greatly affects our lives. He asserts, “our most dominant cultural myths shape the way we perceive the world and blind us to alternative ways of seeing and being” (4). Here, Colombo demonstrates that, depending on what our culture thinks is acceptable our point of view could hinder us from experiencing different things or different point of views. Likewise in writer and civil rights activist, Malcolm X’s essay “Learning to Read”, he discussed how his vocabulary was perceived as great when he talked to other people on the street, but when it came to talking to an educated person like Mr. Elijah Muhammad. Elijah Muhammad was an African American religious leader and Malcolm X’s mentor.
(Corey, 2009, p. 273) Albert Ellis Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) differs from early therapies because it doesn’t dig into the past but concentrates on the present here and now. According to An Introduction to Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, by Dr. Greg Mulhauser, “Although emphasizing the same 'core conditions' as person-centered counseling -- namely, empathy, unconditional positive regard, and counselor genuineness -- in the counseling relationship, REBT views these conditions as neither necessary nor sufficient for therapeutic change to occur.” (22 April 2008) REBT is closely related to cognitive therapy and is viewed by many as a subset of it. The key spokesperson for Cognitive Therapy (CT) is Aaron Beck. CT shares with REBT the active directed time limited present centered structure approached uses to treat various disorders such as depression, anxiety and phobias. During the treatment of CT clients’ there is a collaborative effort between the client and therapist.
In the context of the novel, the definition for the term ‘reality’ would most suitably be discussed as the adulthood which one acceptingly transitions to subsequent to their adolescence. Caulfield deems ‘phonies’ as those whose personalities are forged so as to conform more fittingly within their surroundings; those being evidently adults in the novels. As such, to Holden, the term ‘phony’ is closely associated with growing up, creating substantial grief as he wishes to prevent the inevitable. Furthermore, Holden is resolute on his misconception that growing up consequently results in losing one’s innocence, and so he segregates himself from society. To add, Caulfield’s strong values regarding the youth conflict with those held by society.
In addition Rogers used client-centered therapy; in client centered therapy the patient is never given an clarification of his or her problem. The patient is not given any directions about what course of action to take to solve the problem. The therapist makes no attempts to change the patient directly. Instead, the therapist tries to create the right conditions in which the client can change him or herself. There are three core conditions for client-centered therapy.
Third is social or political repression of information and ideas. Overcoming these hindrances you need to first recognize the problem and be aware of the problem, second you must know your priorities and third you need to control them instead of yielding them. You need to force yourself to objection and make the best rational decision. I have experienced many hindrances in critical thinking, the one I experienced the most is social pressure to conformity. After graduating high school some of my friends took breaks and worked in the oilfields and others joined the military, I decided to go to college.
