Search for self

Self-Directed Search: Casey Jones With my experience with the self-directed search, I felt that the results were accurate for me. I scored highest in the social category with a score of 35. I felt this was very accurate because I love being able to work with people and also to help people. I always new I would be in a job that allowed me to help others. I feel like this represents my characteristics as a person and what I want to do with my life. My second highest category was the realistic category

The Search for Self Identity During adolescence and sometimes even to late adulthood, people are searching for their identity, a relatively clear and stable sense of who one is and what one stands for (Weiten & Lloyd, 2006). Identity formation is the central task of adolescence, according to Erik Eriksons’s theory of psychosocial development (Bernstein, 2008). Erikson believed that identity emerges from an identity crisis, which is the phase when one attempts to develop a self-image as a unique

Holden Caulfield: A Search for Self In Salinger’s Catcher in the Rye, search for self has become a common theme for Holden as he leaves Pencey behind. In his search for self, Holden has difficulty achieving happiness on behalf of his own immature and stagnant character. Holden often finds himself taking on another persona in order to interact with the “phony” outside world. In this way, Holden is only moving further away from discovering his true identity. For instance, with Ms. Morrow, Holden

The Search for Self Throughout the reading of this paper, I would like to explain how the character of Nora went from being a weak woman to being the strongest person in this play. Also, my goal is to show how Nora’s story correlates to many young ladies in today’s society. Just as well as many young men. In my opinion, A Doll’s House written by Henrik Ibsen is pure brilliance. This play exemplifies how sometimes both men and women can lose their self because, they are trying to live their life

The Self-Directed Search and the O*NET Interest Profiler are both tools that help people learn more about themselves and various career aspects. The O*NET Interest Profiler is an online tool that after a few clicks and searches can be accessed by anyone with the internet. The SDS is, from what I understand, is not as easily accessible over the internet. After taking both assessments, I enjoyed learning information about myself that I gathered from them. I thought both assessments were interesting

The book Dibs in Search of Self is a story of a smart yet very unsocial and withdrawn little boy named Dibs. The story, written from Dr. Axline’s point of view, shows how Dibs goes from being completely unable to function in a normal classroom setting with other children to discovering himself through play therapy. Nowhere is the book is Dibs specifically diagnosed or even characterized as being autistic. This is not surprising as autism was not really widely understood or diagnosed until the

therapy becomes overlooked and rejected due to the joyous word play. Despite the beliefs, play therapy can inhibit communication barriers, and provide a safe environment for the child to explore critical elements in their life. The book Dibs in Search of Self by Virginia M. Axline provides an excellent example of how effective play therapy can be. Time and time again I found myself becoming moved and flabbergasted by the way play therapy worked for Dibs. Furthermore, the way play therapy assembled

The general term of Self-actualization is explained in Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. It is the last level of the psychological development that can only be attainable when all other basic and mental needs are satisfied. In the novel Edna seeks an awakening to reach her full potential where she can finally be herself and feel happy. To experience this happiness that she yearns for, she looks to find herself. To achieve the finding of ones self or this self-actualization, it is required of her

In the search for one’s true self, each person reacts differently. Each woman encountered, Antigone, Miss Emily, Mrs. Mallard, and Nora attempt to discover their true self despite the roles in which both the men in their lives, as well as society has determined for them. Rather than allowing either men or society to determine who they were as women, each woman acted in their own ways and decided that they did not want to conform to the person in which someone else had determined for them. In Antigone
