If there is a reason for happiness, happiness ensues … that is why one need not pursue happiness, one need not care for it once there is a reason for it. Larissa MacFarquhar. As to the first, I deem it to be a remarkable fact that man, as long as he regarded himself as a creature, interpreted his existence in the image of God, his creator; but as soon as he started considering himself as a creator, began to interpret his existence merely in the image of his own creation, the machine.

Most relevant reviews. In addition, the analogies that he offers to illustrate his ideas with accompanying illustrations often seem to drive the concepts further into the realm of abstraction instead of making them clearer to the reader. It therefore stands to reason that in an age such as ours, that is to say, in an age of the existential vacuum, the foremost task of education, instead of being satisfied with transmitting traditions and knowledge, is to refine that capacity which allows man to find unique meanings. Near the end of the "portion of the book worth reading," Frankl mentions a discussion with a patient that feels their life is meaningless. Anecdotes about this use of logotherapy are given by New York Times writer Tim Sanders, who explained how he uses its concept to relieve the stress of fellow airline travelers by asking them the purpose of their journey.

In contrast to most of the existentialist schools of thought, logotherapy is in no way pessimistic; but it is realistic in that it faces the tragic triad of human existence: pain, death, and guilt.

Though personal psychotherapy has a long history as a training tool, it is seldom formally required or recommended in programs today. Benefits to the clinician have been widely reported; whether clients benefit is a subject of ongoing debate. It appears that most psychotherapists eventually do enter therapy at some point in their career, but not necessarily in training. The paper attempts to determine what is of value to the trainee therapist and how it can be integrated with the goals of training programs.

  • Image and Imagination As Therapeutic Support. Know Oneself and Re-Educate Oneself Through Vision †
    Proceedings Image and Imagination as Therapeutic Support. Know Oneself and Re-Educate Oneself through Vision † Anna Marotta * and Rossana Netti DAD (Department of Architecture and Design), Politecnico di Torino, 10129 Torino, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] † Presented at the International and Interdisciplinary Conference IMMAGINI? Image and Imagination between Representation, Communication, Education and Psychology, Brixen, Italy, 27–28 November 2017. Published: 18 January 2018 Abstract: This research aims to identify and understand the possible approaches in psychological environment, through the images and imaginary as a therapeutic tool. The image is investigated in the film “projection”: this latter is not only intended as a visual projection on the plane of expression, but it is also the projection of the self, implemented by the director and the actors, but also by the spectator, who becomes a participating observer of the story told. An example that combines all these aspects can be identified in Hitchcock’s figure, for his film culture, for the recording technique, but also for his complex psychic characteristics. The critical synthesis of the most significant works of his film production, can be a possible example for the research proposed here. In particular, some elements of vision and representation were privileged in relation to the relationship between image, imaginary and psychological aspects. Keywords: imagination; vision; fantasy; metaphor; therapeutic aid 1. Introduction Mental images, such as dreams, are emerging symbols from the unconscious that can be investigated and understood to modify and enhance the approach to the real world, but also with oneself. To imagine is not always a simple process to put into practice: for some the production may be excessive or disorderly, for other deficient or problematic and moreover the mind may not be able to distinguish reality from fantasy.

  • Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Boundless
    Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Boundless Cognitive Therapy Cognitive therapy seeks to help a client overcome difficulties by identifying and changing dysfunctional thought patterns. 1. fig. 1 shows a group cognitive therapy session Clinicians use therapy sessions to help clients address and change their negative cognitive biases. Cognitive therapy (CT) is one of the therapeutic approaches within the larger group of cognitive behavioral therapies (CBT) and was first expounded by Aaron T. Beck in the 1960s. Cognitive-based therapies have gained increasing use in the past several decades, beginning with the cognitive revolution in 1956. CT is a psychotherapy quite distinct from other mainstream forms such as psychoanalytic or behavioral psychotherapy: rather than focusing on motivations or instincts, it is based on an information-processing model of human behavior and psychopathology. Cognitive distortions, or exaggerated and irrational thoughts, were believed to perpetuate psychological disorders. The process of learning to refute these distortions is called cognitive restructuring. Cognitive therapy may consist of testing a client's assumptions and identifying how client's unquestioned thoughts are distorted, unrealistic and unhelpful. Once these thoughts have been challenged, the client's feelings about the subject matter of those thoughts can be more readily changed. Cognition: Any element of knowledge including attitude, emotion, belief, or behavior.

  • Cognitive-Behavioral Interventions: Where They Come from and What They Do
    Volume 72 Number 2 Home Cognitive-Behavioral Interventions: Where They Come From and What They Do Chris Hansen Chief U.S. Probation Officer District of Nevada THE NEWS IS OUT and it’s not good, but it comes as no surprise to corrections officials. Presently, more than one in every one hundred adults in the United States is confined in local jails and state or federal correctional facilities ( Warren, 2008). The United States incarcerates more of its citizens than any other country in the world. At the end of 2006, there were over five million adults under the supervision of federal, state, or local probation or parole authorities (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 2007). Due to the rising incarceration rates, many states face significant financial shortfalls and must make tough decisions regarding their correctional populations. In 2005, the State of Washington focused its attention on the long-term fiscal consequences of prison expansion. As a result, the State Legislature directed the Washington State Institute for Public Policy (Institute) to explore options to imprisonment. After a thorough review of existingprograms and research, the Institute identified several Evidence Based Practices (EBP), such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), that might be effective in reducing recidivism, thus alleviating the need to build additional prisons (Washington State Institute for Public Policy, 2006). Several other states have come to realize that non-violent offenders may be better served under community supervision rather than incarcerated. According to The Pew Center on the States (2008), “No policy maker would choose this path if it meant sacrificing public safety. But gradually, some states are proving that deploying a broad range of sanctions can protect communities, punish lawbreakers, and conserve tax dollars for other pressing public needs” (p.

INSTITUTION Three Village Central School District 1, Setauket, N.Y. PUB DATE Jun 69 NOTE 24p. FDRS PRICE EDRS Price MF-$0.25 HC-$1.30 DESCRIPTORS *Changing Attitudes, Elementary School Teachers, *Inservice Teacher Education, Secondary School Teachers, *Sensitivity Training, *Teacher Attitudes, *T Groups ADSTRACT In order to assess the effect of T- -Group sensitivity training on teacher attitudes, 25 elementary and secondary school teachers were given the Minnesota Teacher Attitude Inventory (MTAI) both before and after a 10-week T-Group program. A ccAtrolgroup of 16 teachers taking an inservice course in Iroquois Indian Historywas used. Results showed that the control group's testscores remained the same or decreased slightly, while the experimental group'sscores increased five to 20 percentile points. The greatest increasewas shown by secondary school teachers of academic subjects. Itmay possibly be inferred that the T-Group training caused the increase in scores, but further research must be done to determine whether this training causes any actual changes in the teacher's classroom behavior. One approach would be pre- and posttesting of student attitudes to the teacher undergoing T-Group sensitivity training. (Four pages of teacher comments on the T-Group experienceare appended.)

  • Cross-Cultural Empathy and Training the Contemporary Psychotherapist
    Clinical Social Work Journal Vol. 29, No. 3, Fall 2001 CROSS-CULTURAL EMPATHY AND TRAINING THE CONTEMPORARY PSYCHOTHERAPIST Lawrence Dyche, A.C.S.W., and Luis H. Zayas, Ph.D. ABSTRACT: The diversity of today’s client population has required that psychotherapy training confront the importance of cultural competence in gradu- ates. Approaches in this area of education create dynamic tensions between stress- ing therapist openness to diversity and therapist knowledge of clients’ cultures. This paper proposes that this attitude-knowledge dilemma in psychotherapy edu- cation can be reconciled by helping trainees develop an empathic response capable of transcending cultural differences. Cross-cultural empathy helps provide the therapist with a coherent and familiar means of maintaining affective receptivity in the therapeutic encounter with clients while making use of a repository of information about clients’ cultures. Such empathy can also be a base for building the skills needed to develop collaborative relationships with clients who are often disempowered and distrustful. The paper examines approaches and resources for training psychotherapists in cross-cultural empathy. KEY WORDS: cross-cultural empathy; therapy training; urban practice. Attention to the area of cultural competence has become an essential aspect in training psychotherapists to work with the diverse populations found throughout this country. Yet, the components of this competency involve attitudes, knowledge, and skills that can be difficult to integrate (Falicov, 1995; Sue & Zane, 1987). As educators, we seek to prepare clinicians who are knowledgeable about the specifics of particular cultures but who are able to suspend this knowledge when with a client in order to listen openly and without assumptions.

  • The Relation of Sensitivity Training to Marital Integration of Graduate Student Husbands and Their Wives
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Merlin Duane Darby for the Ed. D. (Name of student) (Degree) in Guidance presented on March 5, 1968 (Major) (Date) Title: THE RELATION OF SENSITIVITY TRAINING TO MARITAL INTEGRATION OF GRADUATE STUDENT HUSBANDS AND THEIR WIVES Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy William R. Crooks The purpose of this study was to ascertain the usefulness of sensitivity training with wives of graduate students in decreasing role tension resulting from the husband's participation in an advanced degree-seeking program and to assess the effect of professional en- deavor of wives upon marital integration. Three groups for comparison were chosen:(1) a sensitivity group wherein the wives of graduate students who had no regularly scheduled activities outside the home met in two and one-half hour sensitivity sessions for at least 14 weeks;(2) an active group made up of wives of graduate students who were involved one-half time or more in seeking a college degree or pursuing a professional occupa- tion such as teaching, nursing, social work, etc. ; and (3) a non- active group including wives of graduate students who had no involve- ment outside the home nor sensitivity training. Upon completion of the sensitivity training period, all couples in the three groups were administered the Index of Marital Integra- tion.The resulting scores for the three groups were combined and ranked.The ranked scores were converted to standard scores for the purpose of normalizing the sample.The groups were then sepa- rated and compared by analysis of variance using the z scores. Computation of variance for groups of unequal size yielded an F value of 2.37 which is not significant at either the five or one per- cent level of probability.

  • EMDR 12 Years After Its Introduction: Past and Future Research ᮢ
    EMDR 12 Years after Its Introduction: Past and Future Research Ä Francine Shapiro Mental Research Institute, Palo Alto, CA Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) was one of the first treatments of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to be evaluated in controlled research and has to date been empirically supported by 13 such studies. This article reviews the historical context and empirical re- search of EMDR over the past dozen years. Historically, EMDR’s name has caused confusion in that “desensitization” is considered to be only a by-product of reprocessing and because the eye movement component of EMDR is only one form of dual stimulation to be successfully used in this integrative approach. Research is needed to determine the compar- ative efficacy of EMDR relative to cognitive-behavioral treatments of PTSD. However, this has been hampered by the lack of independent replication studies of the latter treatments. Current component analyses of EMDR have failed to effectively evaluate the relative weighting of its procedures. Parameters for future research and the testing of protocols for diverse disorders are suggested. © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Clin Psy- chol 58: 1–22, 2002. Keywords: EMDR; PTSD; eye movement; research; components; information processing Although Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is widely known, the name has in many ways served to confuse. In fact, the eye movement is only one form of dual stimulation used, along with handtaps and tones ( Shapiro, 1991b, 1994, 1995, 1999, 2001a). Dual stimulation is, in turn, only one of several components of a multifac- eted approach. Further, the therapeutic goal of EMDR is not simply anxiety reduction, as the name “desensitization” would suggest, but also includes the elicitation of positive affects, evoked insights, belief alterations, and behavioral shifts.
