They are delivered by trained practitioners who work with people over a short or long term to help them bring about effective change or enhance their well being” (bacp.co.uk).

Guy Montag, the protagonist of Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, who has never been exposed to books, has a fondness for books. But is this just because he is a book character that this is possible, or is every single human being like him? This essay will discuss whether or not human beings have an innate ability and desire for books, and are able to be moved by words, or whether it is something that has to be fostered through culture. Both can be argued for, and this has been seen through history. First of all, it can be said that this desire for books and affinity for words is an innate ability to all human beings.
I believe that Hesiod’s Works and Days appears to be written on a personal level and reiterates what I believe to e his concept of the ideal person by writing about how men should conduct themselves properly. In my opinion, Hesiod believed that the ideal person would abstain from injustice, work with the seasons and their patterns, and use wholesome competition to make the best of what they had. For example, in Works and Days he writes …for a man grows eager to work when he considers his neighbour, a rich man who hastens to plough and plant and put his house in good order; and neighbour vies with is neighbour as he hurries after wealth. This Strife is wholesome for men.” (11. 11-24) I believe that Hesiod is saying that healthy competition is good behavior for the ideal person; it prevents idleness and is a path to attaining wealth which prevents poverty According to Hesiod an ideal person should be ashamed of poverty.
The superego is formed as a result of socialisation and consists of all the instructions, morals and values that are repeatedly enforced as we are growing up. It takes on the form of a conscience and also represents our view of our ideal self. The main role of the superego is to try to overpower the activity of the id. The ego tries to balance the demands of the id and the superego. It is the rational part of the mind and is always seeking to do what is most helpful for the individual.
Process Report of a Client Centred Therapy Session Reflection and Literature Review "It is that the individual has within himself or herself vast resources for self-understanding, for altering his or her self-concept, attitudes and self-directed behavior - and that these resources can be tapped if only a definable climate of facilitative psychological attitudes can be provided." (Rogers, 1986, cited in The Carl Rogers Reader by Kirschenbaum & Henderson, 1989, p.135) This process report is an assignment for the Humanistic Approach module required as evidence that students have acquired the skills and understood how to work with clients from a humanistic perspective. The humanistic approach evolved in the United States in 1950s and it was proposed by Carl Rogers who proposed that “therapy could be simpler,
Just as the novel mentions, “he spoke as if Daisy’s reaction was the only thing that mattered.” (Fitzgerald, 2001: 192) Gatsby is nimble and ambitious in making money, which shows the “sagacity” of modern people, but towards love he gives us the impression of “a naive young man.” The reader may wonder what makes Gatsby great? Gatsby is great because of his loyalty to love. He has the desire to repeat the past, and the desire for money. For Gatsby, Daisy is the soul of his dreams. He believes he can regain Daisy.
Rational morality is vital to the future. This new morality is based on reason, and can be proved. My morality is based on the value of man’s mind, and that the product of a man’s mind is his only value. The highest moral code is for every man to follow his own rational self-interest. If his rational self-interest is to gain wealth, then he deserves that wealth.
1.1 Explain what is meant by reflective practice Reflection is a process that one replays an experience over in their mind and they actively and carefully evaluate it. It is suggested that reflection involves three aspects; returning to the experience in your mind, connecting to feelings (helpful ones to be used, unhelpful to be removed or contained) and evaluating and re-examining through the eyes of knowledge and desired goals. Edgar Schon who studied and wrote much on reflection described two main ways of reflecting, one whilst in action and one whilst after the event has occurred. Reflection in action allows the practitioner to evaluate and change what he/she is doing whilst they are doing it, highly effective but many do not possess the skill to do this. Reflection on action is as described above where one contemplates in retrospect.
This is done by providing relevant & descriptive information. Another strength is the author’s gripping voice, as well as that the author writes as if he talking to the reader. On the negative side, there is only one major weakness, and its the very abrupt transitions between his topics The author isn’t taking a stance in an argument in this article; it is written with the mindset that being unconventional is good. This mindset is conveyed very well to reader by the end of the article. The data Gladwell presents is credible as it comes from primary sources such as Ranadive himself and quotes from Lawrence’s diary and other reliable sources such as the late general Maurice de Saxe.
All of these things combined can change a person’s individual behavior in many ways. It is when you take all of these things and choose to combine them together which in turn will create a person’s attitude as well as their personality traits. The many different attitudes that are formed by each and every one of us have are the reasons that we have such a diverse group of people in the world all around us today. The three main components of attitudes are the belief component, the emotional component, and the action component. The Belief component is what each of us as human beings chooses to believe or think about when it comes to the object of an attitude.
