Unravelling
the Bonds Of Shame - by Elian Aysoy
The
therapists goal is to notice, support and appreciate
the clients shame linked need. This interaction is
very delicate because, as the client gets close to this
need, he or she will inevitably experience shame.
Elian
Aysoy, a Gestalt Practitioner living and working in Istanbul, Turkey, explores the origins of shame, and how we may free
ourselves of its debilitating effect.
Change
your home and change your life - by Vivi Benreytan
Subtitled Using the home as an agent of change, this has been developed
from Vivi's master's thesis.
She
discovered in discussing Feng Shui aspects of her
clients' homes that this frequently evoked feelings and
emotions distinct from the specific aspect of the home
being discussed. The article describes how this led her
to develop her practice by integrating various models of
psychology into the work.
I'm
right here, grandma! - by Paul W. Schenk
"When
I encounter a significant loss . . . I pose a question
that may seem odd to many." As a
psychologist, Paul Schenk has encountered many
first-hand stories of people who have had contact with
deceased relatives. This is one of the way he
deals with them.
All
Personality Tests Are Wrong - by John Rowan
The
most dangerous use [of
personality tests]
is that they can be employed in selection and
development. Yet
the only possible basis for using a personality test is
that the person being tested has just one personality.
Research shows, however, that people actually
have a number of subpersonalities; which one comes to
the fore depends upon the situation.
The person who takes the test may not be the same
person who operates at the place of work.
Brief
Therapy and Solution-Focused Thinking - by Michael Mallows
The
point, for me, is not the arrival, not even the
destination, but the journey. Each living, breathing
moment we are already there because here
is where its at. Here is
there and now
is all the time in the world. I strive, and occasionally
get a glimpse, a taste, a hint of what it might be like.
I see my own potential reflected in other people, and
echo them with my own commitment to a belief in who we
really are and what we might become.
