Leading
Article
Further
to the introduction to various models for personality
assessment in our last issue, we now provide another
five models that help us to understand ourselves and
interact effectively with others.
The articles below are all written to an extent
with one or other of these models in mind.
Choosing
Your Focus - by Amanda Knight
Today's
society measures our personal success by the lifestyle
that we achieve ~ the size of our house, the cars in the
drive, the amount of money we are paying into our
personal pension each month, the school we send our kids
to, our job title, how many package holidays we can
afford each year
But are we measuring ourselves accurately?
Education
and Beliefs - by Maite Galan & Tom Maguire
The
impact on the student of an isolated analysis will range
widely depending on the level chosen, from the
Environmental : I cant spell because of the
surrounding noise.
to the Identification: I am not intelligent.
Distress
Patterns and Co-Counselling - by Joe Sinclair
Most
systems of self-help are based on the interruption of
patterns of thought or behaviour.
When I interrupt the pattern, I am freeing myself
for discharge. But
the act of discharge is taking place in present time; my
hurt is being arrested in present time; my past distress
is being neutralised . . . in present time.
Unless I can find a way of avoiding a recurrence
of the distress pattern, I am condemned continually to
discharge it. I
need a formula that will enable me to recognise the
pattern in the first place, and to identify what it is
that triggers it off.
The
Sceptic's Response
Wherein
our columns are opened to the debunking of theories and
models presented in the pages of this publication.
As with the models themselves, the views expressed
herein do not necessarily represent the views of
