Page one Cathy Bland Norw1A tutor :- Sue Smith This case study is about a forty seven year old lady who smokes forty cigarettes a day. She suffers from smoking heath related problems and came to me because she wishes to stop smoking. Introduction and initial consultation I began the initial consultation by explaining to HR that to stop smoking under hypnotherapy only takes one session which would last for around two hours. I explained that the first half of the time with me would be getting to know her and why she wants to stop smoking. I continued, the second part of the session would be the hypnotherapy.
To Kill a Mockingbird focuses on “Maycomb’s usual disease,” as a pivotal part of the book, but also shows that compassion and wisdom can exist in these most bleak areas. The prejudice and bigotry comes from the lack of knowledge of Maycomb, and their fear to change what they have grown up with. Pre-conceived ideas are the main reason that Maycomb is ignorant of black people as they are afraid what a change of those pre-conceived ideas will bring. Even so, compassion still exists, as Atticus is able to save Scout and Jem from the influence of ‘Maycomb’s usual disease.’ Wisdom is also embodied by Atticus, where his wisdom, which is not necessarily knowledge but life experience, is able to force him to do things which are right, shown in his reluctant shooting of the rabid dog. The lack of knowledge in Maycomb about the outside world and their opinions about black people ingrains ‘Maycomb’s usual disease’ into their minds as they have no other opinions about black people.
Case Study Miss E came to therapy for weight loss wanting to lose 2 ½ stone in all. She is 29 and came out of a failed relationship 6 months ago. She is now ready to look for another partner but is scared as her previous partner of 6 years was very controlling and almost seemed to want her to stay overweight. She had struggled with her weight since she was 12 or 13 and her parents badgered her about being unattractive and eating too much. She has tried many diets but always seems to put the weight back on again after a while.
However, the process lasted several years; author’s grandmother has been suffered for an excruciating pain since the day her feet were made. This tradition has been exists for thousands of years in China. Author strong disagree with this kind of tradition is not only because of his grandmother’s life has destroyed by this flashily old aesthetic standard, but also the tradition itself contains child abuse and disrespect for women. Moreover, the old way to make “three-inch golden lilies” can cause many horrible diseases. Since the feet have to be made before little girls start their puberty, the mothers would do it as soon as possible in order to make sure that their child’s feet won’t grow too big.
As his punishment he has to read to her every Saturday for two hours for a month. When he reads to her he notices that Mrs. Dubose sets an alarm clock and every time it goes off her maid, Jesse comes and gives her medicine. Everyday the alarm clock would go off a couple of minutes later. After Mrs. Dubose dies Jem learns that by reading to her he helped her break her addiction to morphine. Atticus tells Scout about Mrs. Dubose’s addiction after she dies.
With increasing urgency she had pleaded with her doctor to end her life. He and a colleague interviewed her several times to make sure she truly wanted to die; convinced that she did, and that there was nothing they could do to make things easier for her, they finally granted her wish. Consequently, her doctor gave her one injection to put her to sleep, another to make sure she was unconscious, and finally curare to bring on respiratory
In Gilman. Paragraph 4) She followed his recommendation for three months and found herself to be on the verge of a major nervous breakdown. Afterwards she set out to write “The Yellow Wallpaper” to show what it is like to be slowly slipping into madness as a result of the resting cure being prescribed at the time. She sent a copy of the story to her physician but never heard back from him, although she did find that upon reading it he changed his methods of prescription of nervous illnesses. (Gilman.
She was brave enough to drive herself back and forth even with the chances of getting sick and being very weak. She was off of work for almost nine months, and it hurt us financially. It was a struggle to keep food in our house, or even pay the bills. I told her for the longest time I would eventually get a tattoo for her, and I did. A couple months ago, I went and had two breast cancer ribbons with the words “Trust Your Struggles” between them.
It wasn’t until she was diagnosed with emphysema that she knew her smoking had to stop, but it was too late. The mother had a lung disease that greatly spread, so her only option other than death was a lung transplant. It was a brutal year of fear for the mother and her son as she waited for a donor. The last thing the mother wanted to do was leave her son alone in this world. Sadly, that was not the only
The door slowly turned, it felt like a year for it to open. We all quickly stood up but to hear “Amira you will be needing surgery or you will be paralyzed in about six months to a year. With the surgery there is a 100% chance of things going right, and your legs not hurting again, 50% chance of stopping the paralyzation but your legs hurting, and you needing more surgeries later on, and 30% chance it going wrong and you being paralyzed,” said Dr. Guillaume in a very scratchy voice. At that moment I felt as if the sky had fallen on me. My mom’s face and eyes turned redder than blood that once dripped from my wrist.
