Counselling is seen as a fairly isolated profession, this highlights the need to share research and to create an open book attitude for the practise of counselling. Counselling as a profession has come a long way in recent years and new theories and ways of working are always being developed. This continuous development of the profession requires the counsellor to maintain their commitment professional development. Cooper (2008) points out that research for counsellors may also be a good indicator of a starting point if they have no other information to fall back on. Sometimes clients come to therapy were the counsellor will know little or nothing about the condition the client has.
It is therefore not surprising that the grounding for this notion has been the subject of heavy debate. Taking central stage in the history of this debate are Hume and Kant and their examinations of the concept have been very influential. I will attempt to show how they unfold their different conceptions of cause and effect and how the two compare to each other. A note on Terminology: While Hume and Kant discuss more or less the same subject matter they do as most philosophers, discuss it in their own (or that most native to them) terminology. For sake of clarity I shall utilise the concepts of each in their respective sections.
The movie is about how Lee Strobel first became an atheist and then after he had facts that were presented to him how he tried to use science to prove whether or not God existed after his wife accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior, and he saw a positive change in her life. In 1953 at the University of Chicago, Stanley Miller tried to demonstrate how life on earth first emerged. He attempted to recreate the earth’s atmosphere and prove that God didn’t create anything and that the life that is here on earth came from nature and started as single celled organisms. This experiment would help to atheism and Darwinism. This experiment is also what helped Lee Strobel become an atheist.
Franze Anton Mesmer (1734 – 1815) was a keen Astronomer who theorised that there was a natural energetic transference that occurred between all animated and inanimate objects that he called magnétisme animal (animal magnetism). Mesmer developed various methods of healing by use of magnets, believing that illnesses were caused by magnetic fluids in the body becoming out of balance. He used magnets and hypnotic techniques to treat people (the term ‘mesmerised’ comes from his name). Intense discussions on the origin of the phenomena of animal magnetism emerged. They received
Student Name Primary Source History has always been the science surrounded by heated debates. The situation when one can find different interpretations of the same fact is quite ordinary. Often, historical events are passed through the prism of one’s subjective perception. So, to have a comprehensive understanding of a particular fact, one should familiarize himself or herself both with secondary and primary sources. Usually, the main objective of the prior is to provide a short outline of a particular event; while, the aim of the latter is to add some specificity encouraging one to look at the well-known occasion from a new, sometimes unexpected, angle.
Title: “What is Hypnosis?” Describe the psychological and physical aspects of hypnosis and discuss the role of relaxation in Hypnotherapy. This essay will explore the vast world of Hypnosis and its various interpretations using available literature, as well as touch on its history in an attempt to shed light on its modern day practice and theory. It will also present the intrinsic aspects of hypnosis and then focus on the role that relaxation has and continues to play in the success of this therapy. Heap (1995) states that “Hypnosis is a psychological phenomenon, not a therapy, and ......... it is a complex and contentious subject about which there is much misunderstanding and disagreement ............”. In support of this view other authors Karle and Boys (2010) note that hypnosis or hypnotherapy is not a system of therapy but a technique or procedure by means of which therapy is delivered.
Hypnosis can be defined as ‘an artificially induced trance state resembling sleep, characterised by heightened susceptibility to suggestion’. For the purpose of this essay, it may be beneficial to look back at some of the past events relating to hypnotherapy. Throughout the centuries there have been many concepts of hypnosis dating back to the 1700’s. The earliest came from Franz Anton Mesmer born in 1734 who eventually became known as the grandfather of hypnosis and came to develop the theory of animal magnetism. Mesmer believed that every human being had a cosmic fluid
Mendeleev was born in Tobolsk, Siberia. He studied chemistry at the University of Saint Petersburg, until 1859 when he was sent to learn at the University of Heidelberg. Where he became aquatinted with the Italian chemist Stanislao Cannizzaro, whose views on atomic weight changed his thinking. Mendeleev came back to Saint Petersburg and became a professor of chemistry at the Tech. Institute in 1863.
We/I was void of an organized format categorizing each Cohorts ideas or thoughts. I and my team members were looking in too many directions resulting in an unorganized debate of our ideas. I was astounded that my formation of thoughts and problem solving methods related to western culture and ego, on the other hand I knew my six senses played a role however I did not employ them in a organized systematic format. Now, I am more attuned to how each of these elements cultivates my unique problem solving system. Although, I rated high on a Mind Tools-Creative Thinking test, I still possess some characteristics of a classic thinking.
These pieces offer the insight to the past, that help explain the often troubled or misinterpreted times that students need to understand what really went on in the past and see what shapes our world today. Many people can tell you what an autobiography is, but do not understand the true meaning behind it. “Self-evaluation, while insightful, is chronically inadequate and often inaccurate, but the true purpose of autobiography somehow escapes this fate — autobiography, the misnomer, frames the self, but its surroundings are what shape it.” The true meaning of an autobiography is how the surroundings change and shape our lives. Also with the surroundings it is how we interpret them that really shapes what we do. If students understand this they will be able to understand the history and the value of autobiographies and memoirs.
