  • Running Head: INTEGRAL RECOVERY GROUP from ADDICTION 1
    Running head: INTEGRAL RECOVERY GROUP FROM ADDICTION 1 Integral Recovery Group from Addiction A Research Paper Presented to The Faculty of Adler Graduate School ____________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Master of Arts in Adlerian Counseling and Psychotherapy _____________________ By: Daniel Ronken Adler Graduate School 2014 INTEGRAL RECOVERY GROUP FROM ADDICTION 2 Abstract This project proposes to create a integral recovery group from addictions. Since addiction is a multifaceted and complex conundrum, ongoing recovery needs to address multiple levels of functioning. From an Adlerian view, addiction is a neurotic solution to deal with the inherent inferiority feelings of being born into this world as a human being. The framework and roadmap for the group will be focused on five levels of functioning: Physical, Cognitive, Emotional, Ethical, and Spiritual. The current state of addiction and associated literature is reviewed highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of existing models. The proposed group may be offered to people seeking integral recovery from addiction as well as professionals in the helping field looking to work with addiction recovery in a more integrative fashion. INTEGRAL RECOVERY GROUP FROM ADDICTION 3 Integral Recovery Group from Addiction Addiction has a complex etiology requiring complex treatment approaches. Addiction work has come along way, but it’s not perfect. Humans are infinitely complex beings and there are varying degrees of processing stimuli as we relate with and integrate our experiences of the world. Research and programs such as the medical model of addiction and recovery 12 Step Models tend to focus on slices of the whole human.

  • Turning the Corner: from Risk to Resilience
    Turning the Corner: From Risk to Resilience Bonnie Benard National Resilience Resource Center University of Minnesota Note: This classic publication, Turning the Corner From Risk to Resiliency, by Bonnie Benard has been reissued here in 2012 in its original form. This work offers a unique collection of Benard’s interviews and summaries of work by early resilience, prevention and youth development leaders. This series of articles first appeared in the Western Center News between 1990 and 1996. The articles were thought provoking and often challenged then current prevention thinking. Benard was able to identify, examine and report emerging contributions that otherwise might have never been connected and explored as a whole. All too often valuable research and cutting edge community practice occur in isolation. Benard has always been especially focused on bringing the prevention puzzle pieces together. She points us to a bigger picture and encourages us to look beyond our own individual known boxes. Benard was bold to suggest that resilience was turning a corner in in the early 90’s. Today we see the accuracy of her judgment call. Focusing on mental health promotion and positive development is now strongly supported by the scientific evidence reviewed and reported in 2009 by the National Research Council and the Institute of Medicine. In Turning the Corner from Risk to Resilience Benard was looking well beyond the 1994 IOM definition of prevention. By 2009 IOM reconsidered, examined emerging research and did an about face. IOM redefined prevention in 2009. This new definition of prevention is very much in step with Benard’s early thinking, which in part was grounded in the evidence she was disseminating in these early articles.

The possibility of a general factor of psychopathology begs several questions. If something substantive exists that accounts for patterns of co- morbidity across myriad forms of psychopathology, what exactly is it? If higher levels of this factor account for more severe and sustained psychological ill-heath, what explains it and its developmental progression? If this factor exists, does it account for varying levels of mental health and the apparent decline in mental health from childhood to mid-life? Does this factor have a common prevention and remediation? The authors Corresponding author: offer a possible answer, a new psycho-spiritual explanation of general factor p grounded Thomas M.

  • Back to Basics: a Critique of the Strengths Perspective in Social Work Reconceptualizing Theory and Practice
    Gray | Back to Basics: A Critique of the Strengths Perspective in Social Work RECONCEPTUALIZING THEORY AND PRACTICE Back to Basics: A Critique of the Strengths Perspective in Social Work Mel Gray This article takes an in-depth look at the strengths perspective, examining its philosophical roots, its core characteristics (according to its key proponents), and its limitations. It suggests that the strengths perspective is underpinned by a mix of Aristotelianism, humanistic individualism, and communitarianism. The article highlights the synergies between the strengths perspective and contemporary neoliberalism and suggests the need to go back to basics to achieve some distance from the harsher aspects of welfare reform policy, which affect most domains of social work practice. It ends with some suggestions as to how the limitations of the strengths perspective might be addressed, in order to devise a more complete theory for social work practice. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE 1965), no one has yet traced its philosophical roots and its core char- acteristics stemming from these foundations. • A broader understanding is needed of the tenets and claims of the strengths perspective and its links with neoliberalism. Tracing the Philosophical Roots of the Strengths Perspective • More guarded claims about the strength of social capital, community, and community development should be incorporated. The strengths perspective in social work has its philosophical roots in Aristotle’s teleological theory of human flourishing or eudaimonia. • Greater empirical support is necessary of the effectiveness of Eudaimonism holds that people should strive to reach their innate strengths-based interventions. potential through the exercise of their capabilities, most importantly, their reason and intellect.

  • Principle-Based Correctional Counseling: Teaching Health Versus Treating Illness
    PRINCIPLE-BASED CORRECTIONAL COUNSELING: TEACHING HEALTH VERSUS TREATING ILLNESS Thomas M. Kelley Wayne State University Principle-based correctional counseling (PBCC) is based on the assumption that all offenders have innate mental health. Thus, the primary goal of PBCC is to teach offenders how to rekindle and experience their natural capacity for psy- chological well-being. PBCC accomplishes this by teaching offenders: (a) how the principles of Mind, Thought, and Consciousness create their experience from the inside-out, and (b) how to use their thinking agency in accord with its natural design. According to PBCC, as offenders understand these principles and realize how to use thought in their best interest, their overall psychological functioning improves. This paper describes the principles and assumptions behind PBCC and compares this paradigm to other contemporary correctional counseling models on several key dimensions. Finally, it summarizes research fi ndings supporting the effectiveness of PBCC-based interventions with adolescent and adult offenders. Since the late 1970s, a completely different paradigm for un- derstanding and addressing delinquency and criminality has been quietly spreading through the helping professions. Commonly known as Mind, Thought, Consciousness/Innate Health, this model emerged from the insights of Sidney Banks (1983; 1989; 1998; 2001), who realized that a deeper understanding of deviant behavior could be achieved by looking beyond the realm of form in which psychology had typically restricted its domain of inquiry. Banks asserted that there were principles operating to create form, and offered the time- honored concepts of Mind, Thought, and Consciousness to describe these processes. The initial research on these principles was carried out at the University of Oregon by psychologists, Roger Mills and George Pransky, through a fi ve-year (1974-1979) NIMH-sponsored Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to Thomas M.

  • Health Realization: a Principle-Based Psychology of Positive Youth Development
    Health Realization: A Principle-Based Psychology of Positive Youth Development Thomas M. Kelley Wayne State University ABSTRACT: While we have numerous research-based programs for youth aimed at curbing drug use, violence, suicide, teen pregnancy, and delinquency, we lack a rigorous principle-based psychology of positive youth development. Instead of focusing on fixing what is assumed to be missing or broken in at-risk youth, we need a psychology grounded in fundamental causal principles that reveal clearly how such children and adolescents can become self-motivated, socially competent, compassionate, and psychologically vigor- ous adults. While the emerging field of positive psychology has attempted to shift the field’s emphasis from understanding and treating youthful dysfunction to facilitating well-being and resiliency in young people, it lacks a principle-based foundation and continues to mistakenly endorse external causes of positive affect and prosocial behavior. This paper offers a unique, principle-based psychology of positive youth development commonly known as health realization (HR). The underlying principles of HR are deline- ated, contemporary research that supports its major assumptions cited, and the results of applied HR research with at-risk youth in clinical, educational, and community empow- erment settings described. KEY WORDS: health realization; positive youth development; positive psychology; psy- chology of mind. This paper proposes that adolescent boredom, frustration and alien- ation are not typically signs of psychopathology, but rather, indicators of the absence of well-being, self-esteem, and other qualities of positive youth development. The same is assumed to be true for youthful prob- lem behaviors, such as drug use, teen pregnancy, and delinquency— that they too are more parsimoniously described not as responses to emotional disturbance, but rather to the absence of contentment, com- mon sense, and other positive qualities of healthy child development.

(USA) Online ISSN: 2249-460x & Print ISSN: 0975-587X Religion as a Resilience Tool to Manage Stress in Adolescents: Islamic Approach By Abdulraouf Y. Lamoshi West Virginia University, United States Abstract- Religions, including Islam, send a consistent message to the believers that the ultimate goal is to guarantee happiness and tranquility. The main strategy for that is through offering a spiritual sanctuary from all kinds of adversities. Using the inner strengths and having a pure soul and a strong relationship with the ultimate power, God, are the cornerstone for that approach. Adolescence is a vital phase of our lives, where many challenges are expected and potential consequences have be faced. Islam acknowledges the interior power that exists in young people, which can be exercised to have a calm mind, healthy consciousness, and positive thought. This study proposes using religion, Islam, as a resilience tool to underpin young people to cope with their hardships.

    © Med Sci Monit, 2005; 11(12): HY47-52 WWW.MEDSCIMONIT.COM PMID: 16319796 Hypothesis HY Received: 2005.09.28 Accepted: 2005.11.02 Health Realization/Innate Health: Can a quiet mind Published: 2005.12.01 and a positive feeling state be accessible over the lifespan without stress-relief techniques? Judith A. Sedgeman Department of Community Medicine, West Virginia Initiative for Innate Health, West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV, U.S.A. Source of support: Departmental sources Summary Health Realization/Innate Health (HR/IH) questions long-held assumptions about chronic stress, and challenges current defi nitions of both stress and resiliency. HR/IH sets forth principles that explain why the experience of psychological stress is not an effect of causal factors beyond peo- ple’s control, but is an artifact of the energetic potential of the mind. HR/IH describes the “cog- nitive factor” in stress not as the content of people’s thinking in response to stressors, but rather as a quality of the way people hold and use their thinking, referred to as state of mind. HR/IH hypothesizes that understanding principles that explain the nature and origin of thinking and experience offers a means to access innate protective processes that are healing and antibi- osenescent reliably and consistently, without techniques. HR/IH suggests that the primary effort of mental health care could be to initiate life-long prevention of the state of chronic stress. In ad- dition, HR/IH suggests that addressing mental well-being would have a broad impact on the inci- dence and course of the many physical illnesses that are known to be stress-related.

  • Introduction
    S4rcijlrLs Pp4v 0k Tk€ W CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Power in the People DENNIS SALEEBEY In the lore of professional social work, the idea of building on people’s strengths has become axiomatic. Authors of textbooks, educators, and practitioners all regularly acknowledge the importance of this principle. Many of these calls to attend to the capacities and competen cies of clients are little more than professional cant. So let us be clear: The strengths per spective is a dramatic departure from conventional social work practice. Practicing from a strengths orientation means this—everything you do as a social worker will be predicated, in some way, on helping to discover and embellish, explore and exploit clients’ strengths and resources in the service of assisting them to achieve their goals, realize their dreams, and shed the irons of their own inhibitions and misgivings and society’s domination. This is a versa tile practice approach, relying heavily on the ingenuity and creativity, the courage and com mon sense, of both clients and their social workers. It is a collaborative process depending on clients and workers to be purposeful agents and not mere functionaries. It is an approach honoring the innate wisdom of the human spirit, the inherent capacity for transformation of even the most humbled and abused. When you adopt the strengths approach to practice, you can expect exciting changes in the character of your work and in the tenor of your relation ships with your clients. Many of us believe (or have at one time believed) that we are building on client strengths.

  • Teaching Health Vs. Treating Illness: the Efficacy of Three Principles
    1 Teaching Health vs. Treating Illness: The Efficacy of Three Principles Correctional Counseling with Inmates in an English Prison 1 2 Teaching Health vs. Treating Illness: The Efficacy of Three Principles Correctional Counseling with Inmates in an English Prison ABSTRACT Three Principles correctional counseling (3PCC) posits that criminal offenders have all the mental health they need already inside them and can realize and sustain this health via insights regarding “thought recognition” and “innate health via a clear mind” gained through understanding how three psycho-spiritual principles—Universal Mind, Consciousness and Thought—interact from the “inside-out” to create people’s psychological experience. We review the three principles and the components of our proposed process from exposure to the principles to improved mental health and improved behavior. Then we describe 3PCC and explain how it differs from prevailing correctional counseling methods. Finally, we present a controlled study that examines the efficacy of 3PCC with inmates in an English prison. Our findings show that compared to the control group, inmates exposed to 3PCC showed a significant improvement in mental wellbeing, a significant reduction in depression, anxiety and anger, and improved behavior in the prison community.
