Hawkins on the other hand presented a different yet equally as informative model. His concentric circles model was an excellent way of explaining the human personality. Additionally, the checklist seemed to be a handy tool for ensuring therapeutic progress. Hawkins seemed to place a greater emphasis on how to help a client achieve spiritual and psychological maturity. He explained that all parts of the human function are addressed in the healing journey.
There are strengths and weaknesses in both models. I felt both had a weakness in that they assume there is a basic assumption that is wrong in order to create a problem and did not leave room for biological factors. In Crabb’s model it all starts with a “need” that has to be filled. To me, this is a weakness because it does not allow for medical disorders. In making sure that the secular psychology principles align with biblical thinking the biological issues seem to be forgotten.
“Transformational leaders are able to increase follower self-efficacy, giving the group a ‘can do’ spirit. Followers are more likely to pursue ambitious goals, agree on the strategic goals of the organization, and believe the goals they are pursuing are personally important” (Robbins & Judge, 2013, p. 384). By evaluating and comparing my characteristics with my admired leader, Janet Mock, “People working for charismatic leaders are motivated to exert extra effort and, because they like and respect their leader, express greater satisfaction” (Robbins & Judge, 2013, p. 381). Developing those additional leadership skills and advancing the characteristics I currently possess, will allow me the opportunity to expand my horizon. Conclusion Understanding and evaluating leadership styles and theories can allow an individual to assess his or her capabilities.
Mentoring A Mentorship program provides an enormous benefit to all parties, especially the mentors and mentees that participate in the program. Mentoring consist of a variety of diverse methods and means of conducting the sessions, opening the door to a vast audience of participants. Time has proven that mentoring plays a significant role in shaping and developing young ones as well as opening new doors for career bounded individuals. Merriam-Webster defines a mentor as a friend of Odysseus, entrusted with the education of Odysseus’s son Telemachus (Webster, 2012). A mentor is also defined as a trusted counselor or guide, a tutor or coach (Webster, 2012).
The progress of clinical psychology has been continuous with a steady flow of fresh scientific data in physics, biology, technology, and chemistry. Freud and psychoanalytic beliefs added to the thoughts, which provoked the idea of personal uniqueness in therapeutic creation, which remains an important foundation to clinical psychology. Clinical psychology upholds the distinctness from other disciplines, although the entity of professions associated with mental health entwine the main intention to include human psychological necessities and supply a sensible and lasting capability to flourish, accommodated analytically for the human
It is disgusting reading that kids do not have any moral conscious. If you are encouraging deviant behavior, that spawned off of moral values that you know of. Society will never accept the behavior or immoral behavior. The deviant behavior will be looked down on, due to the fact that your actions should be for the greatest good for the greatest number of people. When you are just acting on personal wants, and gains, the result is selfishness.
Especially today with schizophrenia there is a strong biological component. Another criticism is Rogers person centered therapy communicates that humanity is basically good and healthy. Not to mention, “Rogers believed people are motivated by innate tendency to actualize, maintain, and enhance the self” (Schultz, 2009, p.7939). As a result, the questions that were asked by some critics were: Should we treat people who are dangerously violent and are these people basically good and want to enhance self? Should therapists promote a relationship that demonstrates unconditional positive regard as Rogers’s method stresses?
“The Enemies of Reason” “There are two ways of looking at the world, through faith and superstition, or through the rigors of logic, observation, and evidence through reason.” I believe this statement is true since there are those who believe things such as superstition and psychics can help you through life and there are those who base life off of hard evidence and facts. Richard Dawkins does not completely understand why people put faith in mediation and astrology. They are ways of having hope and a way to just relax because we are constantly stressed. People don’t have all the answers to life, so they turn to superstition and parapsychology to make decisions. We have done studies, such as the Wiseman study in Chapter 2, stating that psychics and everyday students have nearly the same results at predicting statements, yet people still pay to have their “minds read” or “predict the future.” It is fine to choose to believe in the irrational, but accepting money is another story.
This journey into Carl Rogers life will show causes for his motivation. His Hands on approach to theory will be apparent in his writings concerning a Therapist’s relationship with the client. This however, is solely a result of his passion for individual educational development. This will be apparent as well in the text to follow. As a strict follower of empirical research methodologies Carl Rogers becomes a successful psychological theorist from his Dissertation to that which follows.
