Jacques Brel ABSTRACT Towards a More Humanistic Approach to Family Therapy (June 1973) Abraham Avesar, B.S., Hebrew University of Jerusalem M.S.W., University of Pittsburgh Directed by: Dr. Donald K. Carew This study develops the Family Growth Theory— a subjective, flexible, humanistic, and open-ended approach to understanding and working with families. This theory stresses "health” rather than "sickness." It focuses on working with the whole person rather than fragments of personality. It views the growth process as a cooperative effort between therapist and family. The theory seeks to develop ways for the family to live together and enjoy each other after the initial problem and pain have been alleviated. The study is organized around five principal themes: the growth of the self, objective and subjective reality, anxiety, the relationship of the self to others, and the importance of bringing feelings into awareness. The limitations of the study precluded any detailed analysis of the important influence society has on shaping the family and fostering or inhibiting growth. The study is divided into two parts. The first reviews the theories, ideas, concepts, and techniques found in family therapy, existentialism, phenomenology, and humanistic i ii psychology. The second develops the Family Growth Theory and discusses techniques for translating theory into practice. Although the Family Growth Theory incorporates many of the ideas found in various schools of thought, these philosophical and psychological foundations for the theory are assimilated and integrated to reflect the author's own personal and pro- fessional experiences. In part one the theory and practice of family therapy as generally practiced today discusses the work of Ackerman and Satir, among others. An overview of existentialism and phenomenology was organized around the work of Laing, May, Sartre, Buber, and others. The contributions of humanistic psychology to the Family Growth Theory were presented through the work of Maslow, Rogers, and Peris. Existentialism, phenomenology, and humanistic psychology's main contribution to the Family Growth Theory is their focus on viewing the individual as unique, and helping him to become the best possible version of himself, defined by his own values, aspirations, needs, and limitations. The Family Growth Theory shares with these different perspectives of man an emphasis on increasing individuality and authenticity through self- actualization. One important goal of Family Growth is to help each family member achieve his potential and to help the family achieve family-actualization. In part two the presentation of the Family Growth Theory includes a discussion of: the individual, the family, growth, and the relationship between n I" and "We M growth. The theory —- iii further discusses the characteristics of an open, as opposed to a closed, family system and lists some attributes of an actu- alizing family. Certain themes common in working with families are introduced: "hypothetical living"— the if -only- things -we re different approach to life that may prevent a family or indivi- dual from enjoying the here and now : family rules — their function influence on family life, and the importance of their re-examina- tion and up-dating to suit the present; communication patterns the difficulties many individuals and families have in express- ing their feelings; "I" time and "We" time. Part two also discusses the techniques employed by the Family Growth to elicit the theory. They are designed to help families develop ways of appreciating each other, learn to develop open and honest methods of communication, examine their rules and change them where necessary, and to begin to enter the process of self-actualization. One important concept behind the technique of Family Growth is that the therapist's unique self are among the most valuable tools for effecting change. The open sharing of the therapist's self, experience, and values is viewed as a con- structive way to promote human growth. TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter I.

It attempts to integrate current thinking about family therapy theory and techniques with philosophical and psychological ideas and Knowledge from existentialism, phenomenology and humanistic psychology. The resulting theoretical synthesis will be broadly based on humanistic psychology and will be called the "Family C-rowth Theory." Statement of the Problem Many professionals trained in family therapy have found themselves increasingly uncomfortable with many underlying assumptions of family therapy. Current theory generally as- sumes that the members of treated families are emotionally dis- turbed, or that the whole family is "sick." These perspectives are valuable but have some definite limitations.

  • Violence on the Brain: a Critique of Neuroscience in Criminal Law
    VIOLENCE ON THE BRAIN: A CRITIQUE OF NEUROSCIENCE IN CRIMINAL LAW Amanda C. Pustilnik* Is there such a thing as a criminally "violent brain"? Does it make sense to speak of "the neurobiology of violence" or the "psychopathology of crime"? Is it possible to answer on a physiological level what makes one person engage in criminal violence and another not, under similar circumstances? Current research in law and neuroscience is promising to answer these questions with a "yes." Some legal scholars working in this area claim that we are close to realizing the "early criminologists' dream of identifying the biological roots of criminality." These hopes for a neuroscientific transformation of the criminal law, although based in the newest research, are part of a very old story. Criminal law and neuroscience have been engaged in an ill-fated and sometimes tragic affair for over two hundred years. Three issues have recurred that track those that bedeviled earlierefforts to ground criminal law in brain sciences. First is the claim that the brain is often the most relevant or fundamental level at which to understand criminal conduct. Second is that the various phenomena we call "criminal violence" arise causally from dysfunction within specific locations in the brain ("localization"). Third is the related claim that, because much violent criminality arises from brain dysfunction, people who commit such acts are biologically different from typical people ("alterity"or "otherizing"). This Article first demonstrates parallels between certain current claims about the neurobiology of criminal violence and past movements that were concerned with the law and * Climenko Fellow & Lecturer on Law, Harvard Law School.

  • Our Social Discontents: Revisiting Fromm's Redemptive Psychoanalytic Critique
    KRITIKE VOLUME TWELVE NUMBER ONE (JUNE 2018) 277-292 Article Our Social Discontents: Revisiting Fromm’s Redemptive Psychoanalytic Critique Ian Raymond B. Pacquing Abstract: Modern society is marked with utmost ambivalence. There is the utmost desire to be free, creative, and productive. Yet, our creative and productive desires trap us and now control our own freedom to become. Couple this inconsistency with the rapid sociostructural changes, fragmentation of traditions, and dissolution of communal well-being, what we have is a life of uncertainty. It is a life debased from its very ontological foundation with the transmission of technorationalities of the capitalist industry. In modernity, we could no longer speak of individuality and subjectivity since the very historical thread that serve as its foundation is now wavered towards accumulation and possession of the capital. Moreover, this overleaning towards the capital deadens us unconsciously that we mistake this for reality. The market ideology with all its rationalizations reifies human consciousness to the extent that we consider the technorationalities as the ontological normative structure. As a result, there is a growing dislocation of subjectivity which leads to neurotic social behaviors and inner social contradictions. As a result, we have our own social discontents. It is then the aim of this paper to ponder on the psychosocial effects of the market economy. I argue that there is a need to look at the effects of this economic system that perpetually delineate subjective experiences and plunge humanity into incontrovertible pseudo images. It is at this point that Fromm’s radical psychosocial interpretation of society becomes binding.

It asks: why is phrenology so appealing? It illustrates this with reference to modern culture. Firstly, the Reflection argues, phrenology relies on an easy line of reasoning: moral and mental faculties are found in specific areas of the brain. The more persistently such faculties prevail, the bigger the respective part of the brain. Secondly, phrenology produces easy visible evidence. You can read the mental makeup of someone by looking and feeling the lumps in their head. The Reflection goes on to look at the history of phrenology and relate it to issues of race.

    ,- B BiologicaU Co~ntriR~utio~rneto the Development of Psychology KARL H. PRIBRAM AND DANIEL N. ROBINSON INTRODUCTION This chapter concerns several important influences that biology has had on the development of psychology as a science. Specifically, we attempt to account for an apparent paradox: In the nineteenth century, rapid advances were made in relating biology in general and brain func- tion in particular to the phenomena of mind. Throughout much of the first half of the twentieth century, however, these same relationships were all but ignored and the foundations for a scientific psychology were sought in the environment. The biological aspects of psychology, perhaps more than other special branches of the discipline, resist historical compression. Psychobiology, as we shall call the subject,' is deeply rooted in both philosophy and 4 ' There is still no universally accepted criterion for distinguishing among the terms physiological psychology, psychobiology, neuropsychology, and biopsychology. A grow- ' ing convention would reserve the term neuropsychology to theory about the human ; nervous system based on research involving complex cognitive processes, often in settings in which clinical findings are directly relevant. Physiological psychology strikes many as too restricted, for much current work falls under headings such as biophysics, computer science, or microanatomy that are synonymous with physiology. Thus, psychobiology is used here to refer to the broadest range of correlative studies in which biobehavioral investigations are undertaken and referenced to phenomenal experience. 345 POINTS OF VIEW IN THE Copyright 0 1985 by Academic Press, Inc.

Fromm's Analytic Social Psychological Approach Fromm's social psychological interest originated in his religious upbringing as well as in his academic interests; this is evident from his studies in sociology and his dissertation on Jewish law he finished in 1922 at Heidelberg university. Seven years later Freudian psy- choanalysis permitted a new formulation of his social psychological interest, at that time, namely, in the language of Freud's instinct theory. His attempt to combine sociological and psychoanalytic theory has, in reality, hardly received any attention up to the pre- sent. One of the main reasons for this is the fact that there are few sociologists who have had training in psychoanalysis, and also that psychologists, because of their metapsy- chological theories, are hardly capable of sociological thinking.

It is suggested that From~n'smajor contribution is not accessible to social scientists in its directly apparent form. As a serious contri- bution to social science the immediately apparent meanings, of Fromm's ideas which are rendered at first reading of his writings, are quite 'deceptive. ' This deceptive quality in Fromm's opus has tended to re- sult in a number of critical articles and books on Fromm which stress his contributions as being that of an ethical philosopher rather than as a social scientist. This type of judgement has serious implications for the present situation whereby Fronun's work is generally regarded to be on the periphery of "institutional ized social science" conceptual- izations and consequently for advancement of the more recent development toward theoretical integration of the various disciplines which come under the rubric of the social sciences (i.e., sociology, social psy- chology, pol itical science and anthropology) .

September, 2016. 1 0704345 Abstract Whilst there have been a variety of attempts to understand Thomas Merton’s psyche, there remains relatively little attention to his own research in psychology. By focusing on a number of lesser known writings by Merton, this thesis will address the question of the integration of psychology and religion in his work. I will argue first that the early Merton operates with a hierarchical distinction between ascetical theology and psychology, before examining the psychological ramifications of the developing turn to humanism in his work through his correspondence with and reading of Erich Fromm.
