(Kimble et. al pg 46) In summation, the psychoanalytic approach delves into a person’s past and life experiences to provide reasons for current behavior and allow them to overcome their issues. With understanding and confrontation of the past one can then meaningfully and positively face their future. Abraham Maslow is a noted psychologist whose interests of study included abnormal psychology, human motivation, and personality. His ideas and research were greatly influenced by scholars who were…
Within the humanistic views there are several different ways of thinking; pragmatism, phenomenology, existentialism, and idealism. While existentialism and idealism have not been very influential in geography, pragmatism and phenomenology have been. Pragmatism believes that every human action is based on human perceptions and experiences. The focus is on groups or societies rather then on individuals. Phenomenology believes that knowledge is subjective and that the understanding of the individual…
a rapidly changing world threatened by such dangers as nuclear war, overpopulation and the breakdown of traditional social structures. Many humanistic psychologists stress the importance of social change, the challenge of modifying old institutions and inventing new ones able to sustain both human development and organizational efficacy. Thus the humanistic emphasis on individual freedom should be matched by recognition of our interdependence and our responsibilities to one another, to society and…
introversion, extroversion and temperament have been represented in the theory giving it credit. (Diane, 1985). In comparison, the humanistic approach seeks to explain personality using an environment perspective while the biological view does not involve it. However, the biological approach provides detailed description of personality assessment differently to humanistic which leaves a quest for much description. Both theories are very significant in personality assessment. If merged together,…
theory. By reviewing the relationships people will be able to see focused similarities and it’s upcoming. Analyzing the aspects that are essential to the theory of humanistic approach with the personality of explanations will enlighten people to the different views of each individual theory of personality. Describing humanistic needs Abraham Maslow also shows people how he sees the makeup of individual personality. Each need and stage is based on priority. Maslow's theory shows us the influences…
choice, creativity, the interaction of the body, mind and spirit, and the capacity to become more aware, free, responsible, life affirming and trustworthy. Humanistic psychology acknowledges that the mind is strongly influenced by determining forces in society and in the unconscious, and that some of these are negative and destructive. Humanistic psychology nevertheless emphasizes the independent dignity and worth of human beings and their conscious capacity to develop personal competence and self-respect…
The modern Devotion educated reform minded laity, it emphasized individuality and practical religion, while spreading it’s influence throughout Europe. One student of the Modern Devotion was Desiderius Erasmus, a very influential humanistic thinker who inspired reformists such as Luther and Calvin with his writings, many of which were derived from his time as a student of the Modern Devotion. The influence of humanism on Erasmus and his writings built the foundation for many protestant beliefs.…
It is a not an easy task to change behavior, especially if a person is not interested in change. This is approach seems to best fit my personal leadership approach. Looking back at my previous employment as a financial associate at Boone County National Bank, I can relate to the definition of the behavioral approach. I was always concerned about given tasks and people. My behavior influenced others to follow and start behaving the same way I did. A great example is the way I used to deal with…
Petrarch believes that our understanding of the world starts with the self-exploration and awareness attained through classical learning, later known as Studia Humanitatis. He probably makes the first humanistic attempt to stress out the significance of the humans in the modern philosophical thought. The characteristic feature of the Renaissance is the praise of human mind, first found in the ancient Greece. “Nothing is admirable besides the mind; compared to its greatness nothing is great.…
Relations approach targets the development of each student’s self-concept. The classrooms should reflect individual differences because all children are not alike in race color, creed, culture or religion. There should be certain days set aside to recognize cultures in terms of food, clothing or folk tales. Cooperative learning groups and strategies can, according to Human Relations, improve inter-group relationships among students. According to Sleeter and Grant, “the Human Relations approach is the…
includes mystical, spiritual and religious experiences as well as sharing much common ground with consciousness studies and humanistic psychology. “Transpersonal experiences can be interpreted either religiously or non-religiously according to individual preference” (Walsh, 1993). Founder of Humanistic and later Transpersonal Psychology Abraham Maslow theorized that the approach of the transpersonal does not oppose that of Freud; it offers a complementary viewpoint, which assists in recognizing “the…
Maslow saw the unconscious in a much more positive level than other theorists did. Like Rogers, Maslow also regarded the striving for perfection or self-actualization as the ultimate purpose of behaviour. Where both Rogers and Maslow and other humanistic approaches differ…
the direct instruction approach. This is the classic teaching style that many people remember during K-12 grade school. The teacher would stand in front of the class lecturing while writing on the black board. That is why direct instruction is also known as “Chalk and Talk” (Evans, 2006). Direct instruction is not out of date and is still appropriate in many situations today. The following will discuss direct instruction and a few scenarios in which this teaching approach is appropriate. Scenarios…
independence brought. Until this point, education was scarce and only monastic schools existed, mainly for educating the clergy. The wealthy Italians, dissatisfied with the monastic schools, established independent municipal universities with a secular approach to learning, based on the classics. This was one of the decisive steps away from the church and towards a…
these conflicts creates, including repression, sublimation, projection and reaction formation. The aim of psychoanalytic psychotherapy is to release repressed unconscious material by bringing it into consciousness. The person centred approach primary focus on the significance of a person’s conscious feelings and thoughts while not entirely rejecting the relevance of unconscious feelings. Thus Rogers says that each person lives essentially in her own particular and subjective…
personality psychology, his works focusing on the human being who is identified by a series of traits, cardinal traits, central and secondary. Accordingly, for the purpose of this essay I will focus on two schools of personality psychology, the Humanistic school of thought on…
screenings and test as well. (Buitendijk , de Jonge & Gravenhorst , 2007) They also rarely use pain medicine during labor; instead the emphasis is placed on natural methods of pain management such as yoga. In general, they believe in a non-interventionist approach to medical and maternity care in the Dutch culture (DeVries, 1998) When a Dutch women becomes pregnant in the Netherlands the care she receives there is much different from the care she would receive in the United States. Prenatal care…
capability. This will create a motivation to the workers in that, they will keep on working hard to improve their behavior conduct in the organization. The end result of this is the improvement in the performance of the organization. Behavioral approach to management system is a very essential tool. This is because, many people have a high level of technical capability, and in terms of performance, the gap is so broad and it finds its way through the need to attain the organizational goals. This…
A Western Approach to Islam Islam is a highly recognizable and one of the most practiced religions in the world. It is a religion that brings hope, a meaning for life, and ultimately peace to those who follow its teachings. The Western world sees Islam as a violent and threatening religion that produces terrorists and radicals. If such a religion brings so much meaning to the lives of those that practice it, why does the West see it with such suspicious eyes? My research included reading books…
following orders without question (McCafferty, 2003, p.79). While this training approach made it easier for the law enforcement leaders, it was not the perfect approach for law enforcement and public interaction. Since police officers expected the public to respond as they were trained to respond – without questioning authority - pressure was put on law enforcement agencies to take on a less militaristic approach when dealing with the public. When the public refused to respond to law enforcement…
the family. STF is still looked as the most commonly used approaches for family therapy (Wetchler 2003). STF spotlights the person within the family system, instead of on the individual (McGoldrick & Carter 2001). One of the main points of this approach is that in order to better understand an individual's symptoms that are best examined in the context of family interactional patterns (Griffin & Greene 1999). According to Griffin and Greene (1999), this concept shows the change that occurred in…
It is apparent that treatment with pharmaceutical drugs is not always the preference of the patient. In order for the delivery of care to be patient centered, a holistic approach to care needs to be a standard in ambulatory care. This change would enable the assurance that patients are presented with all options available and enable them to take control of their health. The Journal of Dietary Supplements discusses the increased use of “Complimentary and Alternative Medicine (CAM)” and how it is…
compassion and trustworthiness. Looking at these facts, the moral assessment might be quite different. The doctors may deduce that a different course of action would be virtuous. 3. What are the limitations / disadvantages of using this approach? The approach offers no solution to the specific moral dilemma within this case. The difficulty with virtue ethics is that it does not openly specify which deeds are virtuous. What may appear virtuous to one individual may not be to the next. Everybody…
particular kylix is a good example because it shows how the women contradict each other and through this piece we can understand the jobs of each type of woman and we can speculate how they balanced one another out in Athenian society. Adopting an Approach has many strong arguments and claims throughout the manuscript. Particularly in the beginning, Beard does a great job of enticing the assumed college-level reader and relating to that specific audience. She does this when explaining, “understanding…
pregnancy, and vanity. Many people decide to use one or all of these choices, but I believe that the most advisable way to utilize these powerful motivators is through self-reflection and action. Why Would This Address the Problem? With my chosen approach, the importance is in the choice of control, which comes from within me; for, “you have to change your mind, if you want to change your life… You have to change your attitude towards smoking to get rid of it. Until you…begin to feel good about quitting…
animals since they are lesser beings, but rather, it must be found within humans. White finds appreciation for the external nature which Descartes considers to be “less certain” (Descartes, 28). While Descartes takes a rational approach, White takes a scientific, yet literary means toward nature. He observes nature ardently, noting animals’ modes of life—housing, reproduction, communications, transportation, and physical appearance. His ability to personify these animals…
1.1) INTRODUCTION Humanistic theories emerged in 1950s. We have two types of humanistic theories, the first one is Person-centred theory by Carl Rogers which is based on how people see them-selves in relation to their personal experience and the second theory is Self-actualisation by Abraham Maslow which is based on the needs that motivate people. In this paper both theories will be described in detail and also they will be evaluated. 1.2) DISSCUSSION 1.2.1) ROGERS’ PERSON-CENTRED THEORY Self-concept…
it is important to remember however is that the criticisms apply to the example that Weber uses - protestant belief/capitalism. There are numerous other examples that can demonstrate the usefulness of his idea. The 'It depends' approach It would seem clear that there can be no…
According to Kotler and Armstrong (2008) marketing research is all about “collecting information, assessing, analysis, systematic design and reporting of relevant data” for the marketing of goods and services in a given market situation. Marketing Approach: The marketing research has different elements and could be related with the market size, nature, product, packaging, economic, promotional and sales. Ben Sherman can collect the information of it’s customer and market from either primary source…
we aren’t the same. But in a laboratory you have high control, this would be the results he collected would have been correct. Despite how unethical his experiment was, I think it was justified as it was such a big breakthrough. The Biological Approach is the theory that all the knowledge we have is innate, and our behaviour is caused by activity in the CNS. Obviously, this is the polar opposite of the behaviourist…
Trait approach has a long history of research covering more than a century; no other leadership theory can make this claim of credibility. Moreover, the trait approach gives a deeper understanding of the leader element in the leadership process by emphasising exclusively on the leader, (Gore et al, 2011). The trait theory does not offer hypotheses about the role of situational variance or characteristic of the followers. Instead, this approach provide information about leaders, and about which…
throughout this module and previous programme themes, as well as a formative care plan developed for a fictional patient known as Mabel Dunn (see appendix A); will be utilised effectually. Through the exploration of each stage of the problem solving approach in turn, and how RLT is utilised alongside this process, enables an extensive in depth analysis to take place whilst using the formative care plan as reflective material to support the discussion. Assessment is the initial stage of the nursing…

If organizations are in fact seeking to streamline business processes through business process reengineering concepts they must fully understand the BPR methodology. The systematic approach of BPR suggests five step methodologies which essentially provide a BPR framework…
3. Fürst Wallerstein’s Approach to Talent Management Once all issues have been identified and analysed, the important question is: how should these challenges be treated? With which TM strategy can the company achieve their goals? Lawler states that important elements in a successful TM system are: a precise company vision and goal, a recruitment process, a training program, and a performance management system in combination with a reward process and information system (Lawler, 2008). Fürst Wallerstein…
He states that the task centred model is “ a basis for learning about the world and being accepted within it.” The basics of this method focus on problem-solving and short-term application. As Ford and Postle (1998, pg 52) suggest ‘The approach is designed to help in the resolution of difficulties that people experience in interacting with their social situations, where internal feelings of discomfort are associated with events in the external world’. This statement may confirm that task-centred…
schools, have the ability to levy taxes within their communities in order to help with the cost of education. (MN Association of Charter Schools, 2010) A key difference that separates charter schools from traditional public schools is the unique approach charter schools take in education. Unlike traditional public schools, charter schools have the freedom and flexibility of designing their schools around the unique needs of the students it intends to serve through its charter. (WestEd, 2010) Public…
other words, if education were preparing the child for adult life, it would seem the humanist approach is the correct one. The humanist supervisor is a facilitator, not a disseminator, of knowledge. Participatory and discovery methods would be favored instead of traditional didacticism (i.e. learn parrot-fashion every thing the supervisor says). As well as the employee's basic needs the humanistic supervisor is concerned with his/her affective (or emotional) needs. Feeling and thinking are…
leading to more than one IRR. If there is more than one IRR, than calculating only 1 IRR for the project is not reliable. NPV must be used for this type of project. When selecting mutually exclusive projects it is wise to use the NPV approach. The IRR approach may lead to a wrong decision. However, when evaluating independent projects, NPV and IRR give the same decision. Most firms use one or more of the measures of financial analysis to prioritise projects. Each of the financial analysis…
(Goodwin, 2008). This method also denotes and consists of psychotherapy theory and humanistic therapy where the concentration is on the present rather than the past, and the humanistic analyst tends to underlines awareness instead of being unaware. Both theories share a common method while patients and clients converse their feelings vocally and the therapist provide analyses. In a humanistic therapy approach or a person-centered psychoanalysis, the therapist’s center of attention is on the conscious…
Selecting an Approach for a Qualitative Research Plan Creswell (2013) contends that “we need to identify our approach to qualitative inquiry in order to present it as a sophisticated study, to offer it as a specific type so that reviewers can properly assess it, and…to offer some way of organizing ideas that can be grounded in the scholarly literature of qualitative research” (p. 69). Although I believe all three arguments cited by the author are important, this week’s readings and discussion emphasized…
Freud and other psychoanalysts used various methods to uncover repressed ideas, and to permit the client to gain insight into his or her unresolved problems. As a form of therapy the approach uses hypnosis, Freud and Breuer treated a twenty one-year-old women called Anna O, who suffered from several neurotic symptoms such as nervous coughs and paralysis. Hypnosis uncovered a repressed memory of Anna O hearing the sound of dance music coming from a nearby house as she was…
supervision. Among others, an organisation’s social relations, degrees of employee involvement, employee motivation and supervision policies are all determined by the adopted human resource management approach. Consequently, job satisfaction is one of the factors that can be assessed in order to review the approach taken on by an organisation. The degree to which employees are satisfied with their job and the adopted human resource management policies and practices can be measured by attitude surveys, levels…
Merkel possess the ability to explain her ideas effectively, which can be show by her heavy involvement in negotiations for different debt relief plans in this year’s G8 summit (Rinke). Also, Lastly, the final competency identified by the skills approach is human skills, which are the knowledge about, and ability to work with people. Further, these skills help a leader to work effectively with follower, peers, and superiors to accomplish the organizations goals (Northouse, pg 45). A democratic political…
The article “Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior” by Amy Chua demonstrates the two different mind sets of parenting: Chinese parenting and Western approach to parenting. In my view, Chinese parenting is very strict about school work and extracurricular activities such as pianos and violins. For example, if we compare the two different sets of parenting; Chua says, for instance that Western parents believe that they are strict by forcing their kids practice their instruments for 30 minutes a day at most…
Steven Nolt takes a different approach the immigrant story during the early Republic. Nolt argues that German immigrants were in fact the first true immigrants of the United States because they were the first to struggle culturally to a new country. The immigrants before them were border countries to England, such as the Irish and Scottish. These groups had minimal problems fitting in because they were so similar. The Germans on the other hand had quite a bit more difficulty adapting because their…
Another strength of the psychodynamic approach to personality is that it has provided a valuable insight into how early experiences or relationships can affect our adult personality. One of the examples of this is that fixations can be causes during even the earliest few months of childhood, such as the oral stage in psychosexual development, this can be caused by separation from the caregiver too early or having feeding difficulties. These fixations can then lead to psychological problems in personality…
compared students’ self-assessments to the assessment of two college faculty members’ assessment to determine the level of caring elicited by the simulation. The study also used statistical data to evaluate the obtained data, which is an appropriate approach when conducting a quantitative study (Kaplan, 2012). The threats to validity were minimized in this study by selecting a college faculty member and a doctorate student to rate the simulation along with the student. In addition, the simulation was…
symbiotic rapport as noted by the Finklea (2010). The basic ideology of the alien conspiracy theory is headhunting, which regards curbing organized crime by detaining syndicate commanders alongside members, besides freezing their properties. The approach has resulted in countless arrests and sentencing among other types of castigation against crime suspects, although it has provided no hope in curbing the rate of syndicate crimes. Nevertheless, a highly promising and effective alternative to policing…
(Moxon 2003) John Watson is said to be the founder of the behaviourist approach, earlier psychologist Wilhelm Wundt’s had bought about his theory of introspection, Introspection was concerned with the self observation and reporting of conscious thoughts, sensations and desires. Introspection relied heavily on thinking, and analysing one’s own thoughts. (Moxon 2006) Watson rejected introspection as he believed the method lacked the detachment necessary to provide information that could be checked…
began to apply them to his theories. The more popular of the theories include the concept of the archetype, the anima and the animus. The theory that best suits the style of Hawthorne’s Gothic is that of conflict, both internal and external. Jung’s approach to conflict involved the many internal conflicts between the conscious and unconscious parts of the mind. Jung saw these similarities often led to similarities in the psychologies of the different cultures. The conflict between the conscious and…
