While at Northwestern, Hall attended classes with a fellow student named Carroll L. Griffith who would later go on to become the founder of Griffith Laboratories. After graduation, Hall earned a graduate degree from the University of Chicago. Hall was soon hired by the Western Electric Company through a telephone interview. When he showed up for his first day, however, he was told by a personnel officer that "we don't take niggers." Recovering from this slight, he began working for the Chicago Department of Health as a chemist and was promoted in 1917 to senior chemist.
(Goffman was one of the greatest North American sociologists of his generation. He was heavily influenced by George Herbert Mead and Herbert Blumer in developing his theoretical framework.

Essay on the key concepts and principles of Gestalt Theory Gestalt therapy was developed in the 1940’s by Fritz and Laura Perls. Fritz Perls was a German Jew born in 1892 who was originally psychodynamically trained; whilst working at the ‘Institute for Brain Damaged Soldiers’ in Frankfurt however, Perls met Dr Kurt Goldstein, who had developed the ‘organismic’ approach in therapy. This describes the individual’s innate drive towards wholeness, and had an important impact on the way in which Perls subsequently developed as a therapist, and his belief in a holistic approach to therapy. Around this time, Perls met his wife Laura who was also a Gestalt therapist. In the 1930’s they left Nazi Germany for South Africa where they continued to drift away from the more traditional theories of psychodynamic therapy, and instead started to embrace a much more holistic view of the individual based on the assumption that each person has all the resources for change and growth already within themselves.
In this assignment I will discuss how I feel Solution Focused Brief Therapy will facilitate my practice of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. To do this I will briefly look at the history of Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and then I will identify it’s fundamental concepts and techniques and compare them with those of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg are widely credited as co-founders of SFBT in the early 1980's, along with others (Jim Derks, Elam Nunnally, Marilyn La Court and Eve Lipchik). They were based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin but were influenced by the research coming out of The Mental Research Institute (MRI) based in Palo Alto, CA. The foundation of their ethos is "If it is not broken, do
Psychologists throughout the years have influenced our world by motivating people to explore themselves beyond their means and consciences. One, extremely influential figure in the history of psychology is named Lawrence Kohlberg. He was born in Bronxville, New York on October 15, 1927 to a family of wealth. As a child, he portrayed “concern for the welfare of others by volunteering as a sailor in World War II and later working to smuggle Jews through the British Blockade into Palestine.” (Long, n.d., p. 2) “It was upon his graduation from Phillips, however, that Kohlberg first began to recognize his passion for the Zionist cause, and, following his graduation, he enlisted as an engineer on a carrier ship.” (Long, n.d., p. 2) His new interest in morality surely helped strengthen his personal views in regard to his impending findings as a psychologist. His captivation towards the elements of psychology continued further as he “grew increasingly fascinated by the cognitive development work proposed by Swiss theorist Jean Piaget, and focused his efforts on the moral development of children for his dissertation.
