The Pillow Method: There Is Truth In All Four Perspectives

     According to many the custody of a child should be determined with the best interest of the child in mind. However, it is not easy for a

The pillow method is a five-step process used to resolve a disagreement or enable two people to gain understanding from a disagreement. The process involves each individual to look at the problem through five different perspectives. These steps or perspectives include: “I’m right you’re wrong”, “You’re right I’m wrong”, “both right both wrong”, “this issue isn’t important”, and “the truth is in all perspectives” (Alder & Proctor, p. 104). The purpose of the pillow method is for each person to gain insight from each step in the process. By looking at the problem from multiple perspectives each person gets the chance to enhance their cognitive complexity (Alder & Proctor, p. 104). In this paper I

The real purpose of the pillow method as implied by MBA Notes World (2012) is for solving complex conflicts and issues that need diverse approaches to solve. These are issues that have diverse alternatives which could be used as the right approaches in solving a given situation.

Well-Known writer and author, Jay Heinrichs, in his book, thank-you-for-arguing, describes persuasive decisions, argument tools and how to use them when arguing or persuading your audience. Heinrichs purpose is to teach his audience how to use rhetoric and to teach us to argue without anger instead, be apathetic. He adopts an influential tone in order to reveal to his readers that the world of argument has a better way to persuade with logics.

Another threat weighed heavily on my mind. If I refused, I didn't have the money for the expensive custody battle that I knew from experience would soon follow. While I didn't feel it was in my son's best interest, and I hated losing my child, I felt I had no choice but to agree. However, I reminded my son that once I'd moved his belongings out-of-state, he was there for the long haul, making it clear that he couldn't bounce back and forth like a ping pong ball, any time he felt like it.

Pressure ulcers occur over bony prominences when skin is compressed for long periods of time, affecting the blood supply to certain areas, leading to ischaemia development (Waugh and Grant, 2001). Compression of skin is caused by pressure, shearing and friction, but can also occur due to pressure exerted by medical equipment (Randle, Coffey and Bradbury, 2009). NICE (2014) states that the prevalence of pressure ulcers in different healthcare settings in December 2013 was 4.7%, taken from data available for 186,000 patients. The cost of treating ulcers can vary depending on severity from £43 up to £374 (NICE, 2014). Evidence based practice skills are essential in nursing as it allows the best available evidence to be used to improve practice and patient care, while improving decision-making (Holland and Rees, 2010). I will be critiquing two research papers; qualitative and quantitative, using a framework set out by Holland and Rees (2010), and will explore the impact on practice. Using a framework provides a standardised method of assessing quality and reduces subjectivity.

According to Stevens (2013), the call to develop and implement evidence-based practice (EBP) within all healthcare disciplines is fueled by legislative demands for improvement in standard medical metrics such as mortality and morbidity. However, increasing demands by the public for evidence related to the metrics and outcomes of such concepts as quality of life illustrate what may be more important to the client (Stevens, 2013). This client-directed focus has resulted in patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR) (Stevens, 2013). "The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) helps people make informed health care decisions, and improves health care delivery and outcomes, by producing and promoting high integrity, evidence-based information

techniques; one of the most prevalent methods would undoubtedly be the employment of the logical fallacy, “Ad Hominem” (against the man), by which arguments are directed at individuals rather than positions.

The best way to teach others how divorce, in certain relationships, frees the families from bondage is by using personal experience because individuals who have experienced divorce find it easier to explain the facts of divorce. From childhood, many parents teach their children that divorce is wrong and that there becomes a way to fix the circumstances. At a young age, Kingsolver inherited a definition of divorce from her family and friends. Kingsolver held these beliefs about divorce: “That it 's a lazy way out of marital problems. That it selfishly puts personal happiness ahead of family integrity.”(Kingsolver). Society teaches the principle of family integrity, and that when the spouse of a divorce leaves they are only thinking for themselves. Although, principles do change and the perception of divorce can change too. Kingsolver, from experience, claims, “I had no idea how thoroughly these assumptions overlaid my culture until I went through divorce myself.”(Kingsolver). Divorce is commonly misunderstood, and frowned upon, but the many who face such trials are left with the understanding of what divorce really extracts from families, and the

As a pediatric Sleep Coach, I define sleep training as anything a parent does to help their child sleep better during the night or for naps. It often includes working on having a child fall asleep without being held or fed.

Divorce is becoming all too popular in our society today. When a couple experience tough times or have one too many arguments, they automatically think divorce. Despite its prevalence couples are not prepared for it’s long, drawn out, hurtful process. Divorce does not only hurt the individuals involved, it also affects the children tremendously. While many people don’t think divorce is a bad thing. Hollywood makes divorce look cool and uneventful. When in all reality, it is disruptive. Some people would say that divorce is a lazy way out of a marriage; the cowardly thing to do when a situation presents itself. Divorce is not the only answer to marital problems, in most cases.

Its getting to the truth by exchange of logical arguments. When manipulating this method a person or group of people are swayed to chose a desired outcome. Understanding is the first step to controlling. This formulaic trick moves groups of people. It is how we get many major changes in our society.

Individuals are bound to misapprehend others; in the same way, perception is born within us. Reforming laws concerning the divorce burden will cause confusion amongst family members, which might lead to false decision-making and eventually. [In the Article, “Getting A Divorce: Should It Be More Difficult To Obtain A Divorce?”] Huffington Post (February, 2013), Beverly Willet argued that methods such as the “me-centered approach to Divorce” achieves no positive progress into saving people from falling into the pit of doom. Willet also mentioned that Spouses try to get a divorce as hard as they tried when it came to marriage, noting that children are the sole bearers of whatever outcome that occurs when a divorce act is served. Countless options are efficient more than making it harder to get a divorce; instead, marriage should be harder to prevent any future faults from becoming. [Another article, “Should a Divorce Be Harder To Obtain?”] Divorce Support, Cathy Meyer remarks that “on the Holmes and Rahe Stress Scale – showing whether or not stress contributes into illness – divorce is number two, right after death.” Even though it is labeled as a nerve-wracking event in life, people think that it should be so quick and easy to occur; even before having to think about it if such mechanism is possible. While altogether did not agree upon the statement on this subject, particular supporters favor such

Each clinical day, I am constantly thinking about what is evidence based; what have I learned for lecture. To be honest, I never thought I would be thinking so much about evidence based practice, but I feel it’s essential that each and every single one of my patients gets the best possible care that they deserve. Some ways that I’ve incorporated EVP into my clinical is having discussions with employees about the correct needle length size, observing employees do certain procedure and reflect back, as well as, if I see something that doesn’t seem right, I’ll ask the nurse a question. For example, the nurse and I were doing a postpartum assessment and I noticed when the nurse was assessing the patient’s lochia, that she didn’t have the patient turn to see if any blood was pooled under her.
