4) Discuss how the principles of Social Penetration Theory (SPT) and Uncertainty Reduction Theory (URT) overlap.

Incorporating various forms of media in the presentation aid in the communication process as well.

It is important for each word to be effective in the process of hypnosis, and the preferred and most effective language will be different for each person, due to individual differences. This is why personalised inductions are important. Messages need to be delivered to clients in words, rather than body language (Chrysalis, 2010), and this will be more effective when the words used are more personal to the client so they can relate to the words they are hearing and create more real imagery with a comfortable and safe experience. This comfortable and safe experience can be created in personalised inductions with the use of modalities. Modalities are used by altering the language to suit personality and client individuality.
This school of study ultimately depends on the methods of the case studies that are performed to provide the necessary information that will clearly show them the evidence based on motivations.

This forms the social problems marketplace, which is basically all the claims that are trying to gain the same recognition.

(1998)). Instead of altering the results of the problem, narrative therapy focuses on reconstructing the effects. A narrative therapist aims at viewing the issue at a distance, to gain insight on how a specific matter is benefiting rather than harming the client. “For example, post-traumatic stress might help protect a person from the difficult emotions associated with a particular event, although it also contributes a host of new troubling symptoms, such as anxiety” (Beels, C.
