When any of the three forces become unbalanced in any way, this can led to a variety of psychological disorders. The original concept of the ego has been explained through a variety of metaphors; however Freud's (1923) concept was elegantly defined in its origination (Berzoff, Flanagan, & Hertz, 2008): In its relation to the id (the ego) is like a person on horseback, who has to hold in check the superior strength of the horse; with this difference, that the rider tries to do so with his own strength while the ego uses borrowed forces
However, despite the popularity of medical interventions to treat depression, there is also a substantial amount of conflicting results in academic literature. For example another study that compared a group of cardiac patients that took different medications for depression, to those who simply exercised as a way to reduce depression (Blumenthal, 2011)
The professional identity process is dynamic and develops over time. One qualitative study focused on the development of this professional identity and found that conflict resolution was one of the most salient factors that influence the development of a professional identity (Brott & Myers, 2011)
The different phases each have an objective that must be accomplished successfully or else if the goal is not reached, the person becomes fixated at the uncompleted stage, which creates a psychological imbalance. The five stages are: oral, anal, phallic, latent, and genital (Cherry, N
Rational emotive behavior therapy is another style of counseling that can allow counselors enough latitude to develop their own style. Many of the modern therapies are considered "cognitive" in a general sense and focus on changing the subjective views of clients about themselves and the world (Corey, 2013, p
This study suggests that treating patients with medication has no effective advantage over treating patients with psychotherapy alone. Another meta-analysis was conduct in order to determine whether he effects of antidepressants for treating depressive disorders have been overestimated because of selective publication of positive trials (Cuijpers, et al
Although using medication can be inexpensive and somewhat effective, it does more to manage the symptoms rather than address the causes. One study that analyzed a collection of independent studies in a meta-analysis found that out of a sample of over eight hundred and fifty patients the differences between the combination of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy and the combination of psychotherapy and placebo did not provide any statistical difference among the subgroups (Culijpers, Straten, Hollon, & Andersson, 2009)
strengthened); behavior which is not reinforced tends to die out-or be extinguished (i.e. weakened) (McLeod, 2007)
Many studies have suggested that this is often an effective option; especially for certain demographics. One study collected data on impoverished minority in the Washington DC area between 1997 and 2002 and found that medication can be used effectively in some scenarios (Miranda, et al
This leads to a high rate of responding, and the human being in the casino is behaving exactly like the rat or pigeon in the Skinner box. (Incidentally, he always felt uncomfortable when someone used that term in his presence and would say, "You mean operant conditioning chamber (Sherman, 2010)
PECS symbols are also quickly absorbed and then generalized unaided (Bondy & Frost as qtd in Wallin). Disadvantages PECS is costlier than other communication systems for autism (Gagnon, 2012)
It has advantages and disadvantages to consider. Autism and Treatments Autism is a developmental disorder in the brain and communication skills (Kaneshiro & Zieve, 2012)
Alternative approaches have also been developed, such as the Picture Exchange Communication System. PECS This is an augmentative and alternative communication or AAC, which uses images instead of speech communication techniques, for the purpose of helping autistic children speak (Prontes, 2012; PEC, 2012)
Amy Tan Mother-Daughter Conflict and Fragmented Cultural Identity within Three Works by Amy Tan The Chinese-American writer Amy Tan, author of such popular and critically-acclaimed novels as the Joy Luck Club (1989); the Kitchen God's Wife (1991); the Hundred Secret Senses (1995) and the Bonesetter's Daughter (1996), two children's books, and numerous short stories and essays (Huntley 19) often focuses in her work on conflict-ridden relationships between uneasily-assimilated Chinese immigrant mothers and their American-born, better-assimilated daughters
" One day, Waverly, fed up with her mother's public boasting about her, asks her mother on the way home from shopping: "Why do you have to use me to show off? If you want to show off, then why don't you learn to play chess'." (Tan 99)
Indeed, Nike was not the only company that was facing these accusations as much the same thing was said about companies like Gap, Liz Claiborne and Wal-Mart. However, the latter two in particular had made tangible and positive efforts to eliminate or at least avoid the use of sweatshops to make their goods (Greenhouse, 2000)
They shifted their factories from Korea and Taiwan to Indonesia, China and Vietnam even before the first article looked at. The shift continued after the aforementioned 2000 article when they published where their factories were as a matter of routine (Nisen, 2013)
Nike was tops in terms of perceived quality of manufacturing and quality but the tied competitor Adidas in terms of overall customer service scores. Essentially, Nike was deemed to be the better shoe but the higher price point of Nike shoes allowed Adidas to be perceived as the better overall value in terms of "bang for the buck" (Siemers, 2011)
"At the foundation of the strength based approach is a belief that individuals are unique and have individual skills, talents, life events, circumstances in addition to needs that may be unmet" (Olson, Whitebeck & Robinson, 1991 cited in Epstein 1999). Hypothetical Client Examination One of the greatest concerns expressed by many scholars when it comes to client engagement is the power differential between the client and the practitioner (Dietz & Thompson, 2004)
It would be important for the practitioner to operate as though I were a blank slate and make no presumptions about my character, personality or issues based on demographics. Of course there is much scholarly literature that bespeaks the importance of cultural competence which suggests that a practitioner is aware of their own cultural and world view, their personal attitudes toward cultural differences and individuals representing a different culture as well as a working knowledge of various cultural worldview and practices (Moule, 2012); however, for me, competence would need to be more than just verbiage
