Comparing the Foreign Policy of Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton Towards North Korea Since its creation after the Korean War in 1950, North Korea, also known as the Democratic People Republic of Korea (DPRK), has caused many problems for the United States. North Korea has, for instance, broken treaties and even gone so far as to threaten the use of nuclear weapons. Naturally, different presidents have dealt with North Korea in different ways. Take Eisenhower for example, he actually

Alcoholics Anonymous an Open Meeting Dominique Steinburg describes mutual aid as a process through which people develop collaborative, supportive, and trustworthy relationships; identify and use existing strengths and/or to develop new ones; and work together toward individual and/or collective psychosocial goals. (Steinburg, 2010) Alcoholics Anonymous is mutual aid group that supports individuals in their recovery from alcohol dependence. Established in the mid 1930’s, Alcoholics Anonymous was

between 1935 and 1939 when Alcoholics Anonymous was an integral part of “A First Century Christian Fellowship” (Pitman 56). A.A. was the outcome of a meeting between Bill W., a New York stockbroker, and Dr. Bob S., an Akron surgeon. Both had been hopeless alcoholics (Fingarette 14).      Before this time, Bill and Dr. Bob had each been in contact with the Oxford Group, a mostly nonalcoholic fellowship that emphasized universal spiritual values in daily living(Fingarette 15)

Adlerian Theory and Therapy Before Adler’s theory about the psychology of growth in the 1920’s one widely accepted form of therapy was Freud’s psychoanalytic approach that posited physiological chemistry and sexual repression were the causes of neurosis. Freud’s psychoanalytic methodology was long and tedious, and focused more on the person as an individual outside and apart from society rather than being within it. Conversely, Adler contended that all people are born into a group (family) and

meetings. Alcoholics Anonymous Alcoholics Anonymous began in 1935, on June 10. This date is known as the day that one the co-founders, Bob Smith, of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) reached sobriety (Gross, 2010). As Gross (2010) states, Bill Wilson, who was a newly sober alcoholic, met Smith and used the techniques, the 12-Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, Wilson used on himself to help cure Smith of

Al-Anon Paper Brief History of Organization Before Al-Anon was placed into practice, Bill W. and Dr. Bob began meeting to build a foundation for individuals who were trying to recover from their alcohol addiction. Family groups were officially put into place in 1935 and that is when family members of alcoholics decided to accompany their loved ones to the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings. As these family members participated in the AA meetings they found it helpful to be able to discuss their

On June 4, 2015 at 7:30pm I attended Bill W. and Dr. Bob play by Stephen Bergman and Janet Surrey at the Trustus Theatre in Columbia, South Carolina. I have always seen this theatre in passing and always wanted to go see a play, but I just never took the time out to do so. This play was my first play I have ever seen in person, and I must say I was a little apprehensive but it turned out to be nothing I expected it would be. As I watched the play, the dynamics of Alcoholism stuck out to me the most

Having thought about which non-substance disorder support group meeting I would like to attend, I originally choose Sex Addicts Anonymous (SA) because I knew someone decades ago who became a member, and knowing the person well, I have been curious about the meetings for some time now. However, the SA meetings are closed, in retrospect this makes sense for a variety of reasons, and since I could not tell them that I considered myself to qualify as a sex addict, I had to make another choice. My
