1. Comment on the passage on page 54 that begins "Most of the craziness in this world-violence, addictions and frenetic activity comes from running away from pain." Disguising a person 's name (if you use one) and applying the value of confidentiality, discuss some of your observations at your field placement of people (or perhaps even staff or the organization as a whole) in "pain". Using a "person in environment" perspective and a bio-psycho-social-spiritual lens, discuss your findings. (Hint: use this question to get ready to informally present a case or pertinent clinical example during small group in the next few weeks.)
I had the pleasure to speak with a young lady that fits this description perfectly. It’s sad, but true about

Lately, she has been seeking guidance and support to rebuild her spirit and faith.
In regards to Melanie’s road to recovery there was several suggests to help her get back on track. The first was to seek professional help for and assessment of a physical, mental, and emotional state. While exploring these avenues, I also suggested mediation. I discussed mediation with her because it has been beneficially to me and I thought it would be something she could try when she began to feel that things were overwhelming. Also, meditation is free and it can be practiced in the comfort of your home or anywhere you feel comfortable.
To conclude, this observation of Melanie was conducted over a three to four week period. I’m happy to report that Melanie is doing much better, although many of her troubles still exist, she now has resources, a support team, and coping methods to help her get through this traumatic experience.
2. How do you personally define happiness? What makes you happy?
When I approached this statement I pondered for quite a bit. It was a bit depressing. Happiness should be exactly what it says being happy. For me, there was a period that happiness did not exist and when I reflect about this period its becomes overwhelming. This chapter in my life was dark and didn’t think that I could ever truly be happy again. With that being said, happiness to me is peace of mind,
Happiness is something that all people, no matter what race, gender, or social class, strive for. Based on lifestyle or perspective each person has their independent idea of what happiness is, but everyone shares an end goal to live their definition of a happy life. Many people, though, struggle in finding their way to this goal. They face hardships and challenges that test their happiness every day. Happiness, though somewhat indirectly, does take learning and training to discover and maintain.
The examination of the client in a holistic point of view can best be used with the biopsychosocial-spiritual perspective. Examining the client through the biological perspective, no indication was made if the client was in good or bad physical health or had any genetic illnesses. It is a certainty that the client was assigned a female gender due to no suggestion being made to change this opinion. Psychologically, the client shows great strength and awareness of her past and current suicidal ideations. Cathy’s ability to sustain from cocaine for over 15 years shows great strength. Additionally, the client is aware of symptoms consistent with benzodiazepine during her past withdrawals. The client’s absence of hallucinations, intrusive thoughts,
Happiness can be two things; fulfilling or misleading. One of the best things in the world
Family recognizes need to support Sarah while addressing previous abuse (mom) and depressive/anxiety biological tendencies.
According to Hutchison (2013) the biopsychosocial approach used by many social workers is an examination of the biological, psychological, and social systems; all are seen as interconnected. In recent years the spiritual dimension has also gained popularity in research and recognition as being inseparable from other dimensions of personhood. Culture is also seen as a powerful environmental dimension that demands acknowledgment to truly gain insight into a person’s worldview. The following is a brief summary of these dimensions in regards to youths experiencing bullying.
Happiness is something that many have debated and argued on for years. From the way happiness can be found, to the quickness that it can be lost. Happiness though does not have to come from the things around us, it can come from within our very being. It can be found in the interactions we have with others. And even the smallest, most insignificant of experiences can bring someone a happiness that could mean the world to them. And although the sayings that many see and have been spread around typically have to do with finding inner peace or searching within yourself, it does not mean that there this is the only way to find peace from within. And above all else, I believe that happiness can be found even in the most unlikely of places. This is because of the fact that happiness, though generally talked about, does not have a uniformed meaning and is something completely different for each person.
Lady Sharmane Day first spoke on her dark days and I must say that this was the most depressing part of the presentation. My eyes were wide open in disbelief as she spoke; I felt her pain and anger when she was speaking on her experience with family abuse and being raped as a child. I thought that she was telling a fictional story when she was speaking, I could not believe that one person could have went through so much emotional pain and distress at such a young age. As she grew older, she became depressed and upset. She continued to experience abusive relationship with men and it wasn’t until after an incident at her college where she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Arlene Day later relieved that she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder
Happiness is what all human beings/rational beings desire. It is always the end (goal) of our activities, it is an unconditional good.
Lazy fall days, colorful leaves, cooler weather, birds singing, frogs croaking, crickets chirping, relaxing to the sounds of the outdoors. Waves of water crashing upon each other, fishing, telling stories around a campfire, making s’mores, memories with family and friends; this is what happiness is to me. Happiness is in the eye of the beholder, what brings happiness to one person may not bring happiness to another person. When I think of the word happiness, I think of descriptive words like Contentment, enjoyment, satisfaction, delightfulness, something that makes a person smile. I have always looked at the word happiness as a feeling, an action, never have I thought of happiness as an overall affect. However, it is a proven fact, that happiness can affect the over-all health and longevity of human life. Happy people live longer than those that are lonely, stressed, or depressed.
Happiness could not be found if u look for it. I think this way because if u looking for happiness u might look for it at the wrong places.The way i think is that u could not spend your time trying to find happiness and let it come to you.A way u could find happiness is by making other people happy by helping out the community and you might feel happy.
Happiness is a key to everybodys life. Even the most depressed man on earth has a little happiness deep down inside. Its what keeps us striving to fulfil our needs and wants on an everyday basis. There is not one kid who does not get excited over a dollar to spend at the candy shop. What about the feeling of getting a promotion at your job, or even finding the cure for cancer. Being happy is not just healthy, but it is also rewarding for each and every individual. We strive to find anything that will turn a bad day to a good one. Individuals will compromise to attain their happiness. You can not get what you want without giving something first.
My definition of happiness has not changed in the sense that it is a completely different definition, yet the new one has the same basis with some extra points added. This is, my stance that a person attains true happiness when he/she becomes content with any situation stands in more or less the same way; however, from the discussions we have had in class and the articles in which I have read, I came to realize that certain details must be added in order to narrow this definition to exclude negative aspects that can come from being totally content. For example, by my previous broad answer, a person who is “content” with anything can be just as “content” with not seeing his/her friends and family for many, many years as a person who does see
Everyone has distinct viewpoints of happiness. It is subjective. Happiness for a lot people is a form of something a person does that makes them comfortable or something they really appreciate doing. Some people say happiness is hanging out with their loved ones. Others say happiness is when they distance themselves from everyone to do their own thing in their own world. Since people have an alternate viewpoint of happiness, the definition isn't particular and the meanings are diverse.
Happiness is not a strange term to us. We usually use that word to express our feelings in every day. Additionally, more than a word, “happiness” is what we really need and always seek in life. However, finding and understanding deeply its meaning is not easy. The online dictionary, “vocabulary.com” defines, “Happiness is a sense of well-being, joy, or contentment. When people are successful, or safe, or lucky, they feel happiness.” Thus, we always wonder if we are happy or how could we be happier in our life. Happiness, therefore, becomes a goal for everybody.
What is happiness? Happiness is a state of contentment. For instance, when I was a child at the age of 5 years old, I would find happiness by eating dirt, playing hide and seek, and being with my older siblings. The connotation could be defined in many actions; it depends on who the question is towards. If somebody just sees the negative aspects of life he does not notice the wonderful ones. Happiness comes in a whole variety of ways.
