The Importance Of Reframing

Framing as defined by Robert Entman is “to frame a communicating text or message is to promote certain facets of a ‘perceived reality’ and make them more salient in such a way that endorses a specific problem definition, casual interpretation, moral evaluation, and/or a treatment recommendation (Cissel 68).” Framing is an extension of agenda-setting, which is when the media tells us what to think about (Sparks 228).

The way kids are raised by their parents effects their decision making and their values, beliefs and self-image until the day they die. If a kid grows up figuring things out herself or is neglected etc., that kid is forced to do what is necessary to develop as fully as possible. Hamama and Arazi describe family relationships as being crucial in the development of the child. The article specifies that two direct ways that kids are hurt is through family cohesion and subjective well being. Family cohesion, in this article, is defined as the connections between family members that each family has, while subjective well being talks about people’s understanding of the life they live and how they react to everyday situations and how all that effects their emotional and cognitive mind. These two factors have shown to be directly correlated to children acting aggressively or unpleasant, according to Hamama and Arazi. Children’s aggression behavior includes three parts, according to Hamama and Arazi. “1. A cognitive dimension-hostility;2.an emotional dimension-anger; and 3. A behavioral dimension- physical and verbal violence” is how they defined aggressive behavior. Those two factors are largely what influences children and their development, in Hamama and Arazi’s eyes(Hamama and Arazi). This article lays a great foundation for the explanation of Into the Wild.

The psychosocial theory also has a significant influence to this chapter because it emphasizes that society and culture challenge and shape people, as changes happen in their interactions with other people (pear). If people cannot interact with others properly because of their violent nature learned through societal factors, they will not be able to address the crisis of each psychosocial stage sufficiently. This theory suggests that growth and change are continuous throughout the life span (pear), but people cannot continue to grow properly if they are stagnant with violent tendencies.

The chapter opens with a case—Robert F. Kennedy High School—depicting the many problems facing David King, the new principal of a deeply troubled urban high school. A school that opened with high hopes only a few years ago now finds itself mired in conflict and dissatisfaction. King’s first meeting with his new administrative staff produces a blow-up in which a male housemaster physically threatens the chair of the English department. By the end of the case, the situation feels overwhelming. Is there hope? The authors follow

External factors often, play a huge role in an individual's actions, and perception of the world. For example, a child who is constantly told by their parents that they will never be successful, may start to believe this statement, and think that is their destiny. This idea of their future being determined shapes their outlook on life, and how they approach it on a daily basis. William Shakespeare's Macbeth is a classic tragedy, where opportunities reveal themselves to Macbeth, combined with his vaulting ambition, begins his descent into evil. This ambition is driven by the Witches prophecies to him, his manipulative wife, and him ignoring his conscience.

For instance, a cognitive behavioral approach is beneficial for children who have been forced to endure violent abuse from their family members, because it allows the practitioner to establish a healthy relationship with both child and parents on the basis of open-mindedness, honesty, respect, sensitivity, and empathy for their situation at hand. Therefore, the practitioner is then able to develop an effective intervention during the preliminary phase in which consists of strategies on how to cope with stress while in the mist of chaos at home, in hope of resolving the dysfunctionality of the family’s dynamic. This approach allows the practitioner to provide an emotional availability in which permits both child and parents to express their fears and to analyze their negative behaviors towards one another. It also enables a space which is child-led and not governed by adults. Thus, the children are able to discover who they are as an individual. Most importantly, it allows the child to discover that their situation is not so different from the other kids in the group. However, this approach also reveals what makes each child unique from one another (Bunston, Pavlidis, and Cartwright

Reframing is a technique used to help clients look at life’s experiences from a fresh perspective. Reframing allows the client to see the issue from another view. This new view opens up alternate possibility for new responses. In the interview I attempted to help the couple see alternative ways of coping with the situation. I was trying to motivate the couple into working together, something that had not been tried in the past.

Reframing is a way to identify what is important to you or others rather than focusing on negative actions or emotions of yourself or others. Focusing on the positive action, emotion and values will shift our thinking from the negativities and this will allow the person to be less stressed and more relaxed.

This essay demonstrates my understanding of the psychological theories and concepts which were discussed in lectures as I have applied this knowledge to the case example. I have employed two psychological topics such as the Humanistic perspective of personality and Stress and Coping theory.

The deliberate and conscious management, reformation and refinement of frames that aims to address and minimize the conflict between how things are and how one perceives it, is called reframing. Reframing, essentially, is a process of analyzing, reshaping and improving frames so that the reflective practitioners may be able to better understand
