The three therapies were discussed and ranked in order of effectiveness in regards to Gloria. The evolution of these theories and their merits are also discussed. When used properly each of these theories can be useful in their own different way. This will depend on the personality of the client as well as the magnitude of their problem. In this review of the Three Psychotherapies that were implemented in the Gloria Tapes it is apparent how different the three approaches are even though they are all considered psychotherapy.
Attachment allows the child to learn trust and feel secure with the person they are bonding with, this is important in how they form relationships with others. Also the child is likely to develop strong self- esteem as they grow older. If the care giver makes the child feel secure and happy the child is more likely to develop a similar personality and a strong feeling of self worth. John Bowlby (1969) defined attachment as “a lasting connectedness between two human beings” (Http://www.simplypsychology.org/attachment.html) Attachment overall, is the foundations set by the caregiver or adult that can contribute to the child growing up knowing how to be caring and loving towards others as they mature. Sociability starts from birth and is the ability to be sociable and form relationships with others.
The basic definition of positive reinforcement is thus; adding a result or consequence that the child finds pleasant, dependent on the occurrence of a certain on task or exceptional behavior by the child. This results in an increase in the likelihood of that behavior or response in the child. The mere fact that it does not use punishment, intimidation, yelling, degradation, humiliation, shame, guilt or other things that can hurt the child, their self-esteem, or their relationship with their teacher has made positive reinforcement popular around the world and used in many classrooms. One of the important terms to remember when implementing this method as a classroom technique is reinforcers. Reinforcers are anything that motivate the child in question and can range from tangible items to pleasurable activities or social recognition.
This critique will explore the weakness of subjective evidence, logical fallacy and confusing structure. Fromm suggests humans intrinsically lean towards being “obedient” as it provides a feeling of comfort and power in being part of a group. He also states however that most major growth in humanity has come due to disobedience. Its only when humans question the norm. To support this using the elements on conscious and obedience there is authoritarian conscious and humanistic conscious.
Also, as they are just children, they are too young to put the money into good use, and can end up being invested in things which could harm themselves, and people around them. In cases of unstable families, when the children are payed for being good and doing well; they feel precious, wanted, special. They feel as if they are making their family proud, and themselves proud. They feel a sense of achievement and accomplishment. Nevertheless, there is a question of who will pay?
WORKSHEET Jenna Lee PSY/211 JULY 21, 2014 KATHRYN GARCIA WORKSHEET I. The three major psychological perspectives are Cognitive, Behavioral and Psychodynamic. Cognitive perspective describes the how the human body is controlled by an individual's thought process. It believes the human body is mediated by the thought process like memory or attention, belief systems and others. Behavioral perspectives describes the way one reacts to life and learns from the different experiences throughout.
Sigmund Freud developed the theory that all personalities are made up of three parts. The three parts are an id, superego, and ego. The id is out to gain personal pleasure, were as the superego is our feeling of right and wrong. Our ego is the “middle man” between the id and the superego. The ego is sort of the balancing factor between them.
The humanistic theory of personality see’s the individual as unique and it views the world from different perspectives. In humanistic theories there is no focus on the personality traits or what motivates people’s behaviour. It is influenced by philosophical beliefs and endures that ones life is determined by choices made by an individual. It is also the belief of goodness and positive Psychology which contrast to Freud’s psychoanalytical theory of personality. A person’s personality can be influenced by other individuals who alter their self esteem negatively and place conditions of worth on the individual.
The psychodynamic approach evolved from psychoanalysis, founded by Sigmund Freud, who considered that people’s behaviours are influenced by their motives or dynamics. Psychodynamics has three distinctive features or assumptions. That the difficulty a client is having has an origin in their childhood. Secondly, the client is not consciously aware of these affecting their motives and impulses, and lastly that it uses the interpretation of the transference relationship between client and councillor (McLeod, p.91). This essay will now consider these features in more depth.
It is the product of an unconscious mind being driven by its most basic desires and emotions in coaction with our traits determined by our early childhood experiences. The other main assumption of the Psychodynamic approach is that our personality is made up of three conflicting elements – The Id, the Ego, and the Superego. These three elements make up the “structure of personality”, as Freud explained it. He states that the Id exists in the unconscious mind and is concerned with instant gratification as it is controlled be instinctual forces. This element is innate – it is present from birth.
