A conceptual matrix for the development of professional identity as a counselor educator is presented as a method of promoting self-management for doctoral-level counselor education students. Seven areas of intentionality are discussed, suggested activities are provided in each category for a 4-year program period, and implications for current and aspiring counselor educators are presented.

A thorough observation of the African continent reveals a continent bedeviled with several vices covering its socio-eco political ambiance. The continent is bedeviled with unemployment, poor infrastructural development, poor work ethics, corporate organizational irresponsibility, nepotism, factionalism, political 'godfatherism', tribalism, ethnicity, social injustice, lack of respect for both procedural and legal justice, religious squabbles, poverty, hunger, poor maintenance culture, insecurity of life and property and etc. The Machiavellian style of leadership has further deepened the African states into retrogression and epileptic development. However, African problems can adequately be solved with the interjection of morality in the term of Humanistic Ethical Paradigm and its two interrelated proposals which are: respect for human dignity as a basis for individual and social action and focus on character as the highest value in the assessment of human personality. Methodology This paper gathers its source of materials from secondary data (Books, Journals, Newspapers, etc.) as the basis of delineating our subject of

In this article, the authors present an approach to developing creativity through meaningful learning relationships that involve art, literature, dialogue, and experience. They present a model of creative teaching, Person-to-Person Learning, that includes a 3-stage process: (a) constructing the creative space, (b) engaging the learning theme, and (c) thematic closure.

The authors discuss effective rite of passage (ROP) programs as strength-based, culturally relevant interventions for African American male adolescents. They also highlight the ethnocultural strengths of this population from a resilience perspective and articulate academic and dispositional outcomes of ROP programs. Recommendations for practice and future research are included.

The trust of this paper was to show the relevance of the development of the theories of personality to an understanding of consumer behaviour. The development and limitations of the psychodynamic theory, trait theory, behavioural theory, humanistic theory and the socio-cognitive theory were analyzed. The paper looked at the relevance of these theories to buying behaviour of consumers and examined some empirical studies that have established linkage between personality and consumer behaviour and some that failed to. The paper concludes that the theories are relevant to an understanding of the complex behaviour of consumers, information which have been successfully applied in development of marketing strategies. The paper also conclude that the low correlation between personality and consumer behaviour recorded by some researchers is due mainly to their failure to approach their studies outside the context of psychology from where the concept of personality was borrowed and also the p...

retical, and methodological, to the spiritual, psychotherapeutic, and multicultural. Psychology is poised for a renaissance, and this Handbook will play a critical role in that transformation. As increasing numbers of students and professionals rebel against mechanizing or, on the other hand, relativizing trends, they are looking for the fuller, deeper, and more personal psychological orientation that this Handbook promotes.

Descriptions in this case study of child-centered play therapy (CCPT) for a boy referred for highly disruptive behavior include observations of his process through stages of CCPT, teacher and parent ratings on the Child Behavior Checklist (Achenbach & Rescorla, 2001), and explanations of how CCPT worked for him.    Children with highly disruptive behavior present problems for their peers and are often a heavy burden to the schools, teachers, counselors, and other adults who care for them. Without successful intervention, such children certainly face lives of high risk, emotional pain, and ever-increasing difficulty; from a humanistic perspective, such an outcome would represent the loss of personal, social, and academic potential. Aggressive disruptive behavior of children is the most common presenting problem area for psychotherapists, including play therapists (Kazdin, Siegal, & Bass, 1990). Impairments in behavioral control were found to be among the top reasons for referral to school and clinical psychologists (DuPaul & Stoner, 2003), as well as the most commonly stated reason for referral from elementary school teachers for psychoeducational assessment of children (Abidin & Robinson, 2002). In addition to prompting referrals, Cornett-Ruiz and Hendricks (1993) found that the frequent disruptive behaviors commonly associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) negatively influenced the perceptions of both peers and teachers.

Nancy 15 The results showed that the environmental campaigns led from the schools, affect the changes of pro-environmental behavior of students and their families. On the other hand, it was evident that the CAE leaders are empowered when there is a structured environmental project led by the teachers, and an environmental culture is strengthened, which includes the administration of the water resource, when the family is actively integrated. Consequently, when the institutions achieve relevant and assertive environmental education processes, the participation of other governmental and social entities in the Projects is favored.

With the counseling profession's increased emphasis on developing brief therapies, applying innovative techniques, and measuring outcomes, helping someone feel understood is sometimes neglected. Three narratives by humanistic practitioners illustrate the value of pure empathy in our work with clients, students, and others in our diverse communities.

The study builds on the workplace spirituality and spiritual leadership literatures to revisit the Maslowian notion of eupsychian management. We show that the behavior of leaders has an impact on how people perceive the organization at the higher levels of self-actualization: the spiritual ones.

La intención de este trabajo es analizar la importancia que tiene la formación humanística, ecológica, social y ética en la ingeniería actual inmersa en un mundo complejo, interconectado y globalizado.

Beginning in the last decade of the 20 th century, partially in response to widespread dissatisfaction with and in the legal system and lawyers, a new movement in law has emerged-a movement towards law as a healing profession. This movement takes an explicitly comprehensive, integrated, humanistic, interdisciplinary, restorative, and often therapeutic approach to law and lawyering. It is the result of a synthesis of a number of new disciplines within law and legal practice that have been rapidly gaining visibility, acceptance, and popularity in the last decade and a half, representing a number of emerging, new, or alternative forms of law practice, dispute resolution, and criminal justice. The converging main "vectors" of this movement are collaborative law, 2 creative problem solving, 3 holistic justice, 4 preventive law, 5

The concept of "calling" has evolved from a religiously oriented description of occupation to an integrated, broad, and multidimensional construct that is associated with optimal vocational outcomes, personal fulfillment and meaning, and contribution to the "greater good." This article investigates the relevance of calling in the parental domain and explores the experience of calling in child rearing. Using interpretative phenomenological analysis, 11 qualitative, semistructured interviews were conducted with mothers and fathers. Different parents were interviewed at three distinct developmental time points in their child(ren)'s lives: while their child was an infant (<2>years), while their children were of primary school age (aged 4-12), and when their children were in their late teens or early 20s and were more or less independent (>17 years). Parents of both genders and across the range of ages showed strong similarity in their definitions and experiences of calling-oriented child rearing. Parents' definitions and experiences were also consistent with the conception and experience of calling in previous research. Cultural concerns related to free will and religion are discussed. This research demonstrates that the concept of calling is relevant in child rearing and that the sense of calling may also be associated with optimal outcomes in this domain. Recommendations for future research include the need to develop a measure of calling in child rearing and the usefulness of targeted interventions aimed at enhancing the sense of calling in parents.

Jungian gender development theory affords a flexible lens through which to view the individuation process as it is influenced by gender issues. Variations of this gender-influenced individuation process are described. Counseling implications and applications are discussed.

This article is a lightly edited transcription of an interview conducted by Kirk Schneider, John Galvin, and Ilene Serlin with Rollo May at his retreat home in Holderness, New Hampshire, in the summer of 1987. Drawing from the influence of his forefathers, Freud, Jung, Fromm, Adler, Sullivan, and Rank as well as classical mythology, philosophy, and literature, May gives a passionate explanation of existential psychotherapy and why it is so urgent in today’s “quick fix,” “gimmick-oriented” society.

This two-part study investigated the effects of a particular approach to dream interpretation. In the first part, the Dream Interpretation Effects Questionnaire (DIEQ) was developed to assess both quantitatively and qualitatively seven specific effects of Experiential Focusing-oriented dream interpretation. In the second part, the DIEQ was used along with a structured interview in a pretest-posttest control group design to examine the effects of Experiential Focusing-oriented dream interpretation. The results were, first, that the DIEQ proved to be highly reliable and, second, that Experiential Focusing-oriented dream interpretation demonstrated significant results. This study offers support for Gendlin’s assertion that an Experiential Focusing approach to dream interpretation facilitates constructive psychological change for the dreamer.

The current study examined a group counseling intervention developed to promote wellness in adolescent girls at an alternative school. Findings indicated that the wellness intervention helped girls to broaden their ideas about wellness and to set personal wellness goals. Implications for practice and recommendations for future research are provided.

The proposed humanistic approach mapped the human character and behavior into a device 1 to evade the bondages of implementation and surely succeed as we live. Human societies are the complex and most organized networks, in which many communities having different cultural livelihood. The formation of communities within a society and the way of associations can be mapped to MANET. In this work we have presented the principles of humanism for MANETs. The proposed approach is not only robust and secure but it certainly meets the existing challenges (such as name resolution, address allocation and authentication). Its object oriented design defines a service in terms of Arts, Culture, and Machine. An 'Art' is the smallest unit of work (defined as an interface), the 'Culture' is the integration and implementation of one or more Arts (defined as a class) and finally the 'Machine' which is an instance of a Culture that defines a running service. The grouping of all communicable Machines having the same Culture forms a 'Community'. We have used the term 'Society' for a MANET having one or more communities and modeled using the humanistic approach. The proposed approach is compared with GloMoSim and the implementation of file transfer service is presented using the said approach. Our approach is better in terms of implementation of the basic services, security, reliability, throughput, extensibility, scalability etc.

Polish science quite rarely identifies the postwar period as well as the time of the Polish People’s Republic with modernity or modernization. More often the questions on succumbing and enslavement appear, in particular in recent years we can notice the discourses which compare the period of the Polish People’s Republic to the times of the German occupation, thus the state socialism to the Nazism. Although it may seem that currently it is even more difficult to perceive the times of the Polish People’s Republic as the time of modernization, this is the approach I would like to propose.

The diagnosis of cancer has the potential to elicit positive change (post traumatic growth [PTG]) through the experience of trauma and adversity. However, psychology and clinical practices and most recently positive psychology have been criticized for their indifference toward the influence of the body on positive psychological functioning. The aim of this study was to broaden the understanding of PTG, including its process and outcomes, using interpretive phenomenological analysis. Ten female breast cancer survivors, from an already existing study, participated in an individual, openended interview. These were transcribed verbatim and analyzed for themes that reflected the women's experience of growing from adversity. The role of the body was found to be a vital component to the process and outcomes of PTG and was deconstructed into three smaller themes: fear of new body, negative effects of chemotherapy on the body (fatigue, loss of desire), and reconnection with body (cocoon to butterfly, listening to body, body as a barometer/monitoring). In addition, the analysis revealed how these 10 women perceived the body as an integral component to their selfidentity and how this affected their achievement of PTG. Future research should begin to acknowledge and conduct further study into the neglected role of the body as a contributor or determinant of the PTG process.

Human society is a complex and most organized networks, in which many communities have different cultural livelihood. The creation/formation of one or more communities within a society and the way of associations can be mapped to MANET. By involving human characteristics and behavior, surely it would pave a new way, for further development. In this paper we have presented a new approach called "HAMANET" which is not only robust and secure but it certainly meets the challenges of MANET (such as name resolution, address allocation and authentication). Our object oriented design defines a service in terms of Arts, Culture, and Machine. The 'Art' is the smallest unit of work (defined as an interface), the 'Culture' is the integration/assembling of one or more Arts (defined as a class) and finally the 'Machine' which is an instance of a Culture that defines a service. The grouping of the communicable Machines of the same Culture forms a 'Community'. We have used the term 'Society' for MANET consisting of one or more communities and modeled using humanistic approach. We have compared our design with GloMoSim and proposed the implementation of file transfer service using the said approach. Our approach gives better results in terms of implementation of the basic services, security, reliability, throughput, extensibility, scalability etc.

This study builds on the workplace spirituality and spiritual leadership literatures to revisit the Maslowian notion of eupsychian management, showing that leaders&#39; behavior has an impact on how people perceive the organization at the higher levels of self-actualization: the spiritual ones. A total of 105 employees reported 175 critical incidents, 120 antieupsychian events, and 55 eupsychian ones. The most frequent antieupsychian behaviors were power abuse and bossiness, ruthlessness or unkindness, disrespect for personal and inner life of employees, and laziness and cowardice. The more frequent reactions to those behaviors were expressing protest and/or disapproval against leader behavior, negative emotions and feelings, neglect and passivity, retaliation or disobedience, and performance decrease. The most cited eupsychian behaviors were the promotion of self-determination, employee personal development, and respect for the personal and inner life of employees. The most frequen...

Humanistic-Existential (HE) and Feminist-Multicultural (FM) psychology both developed alongside the civil rights movement and converge in their upholding of human dignity and basic human rights for all people. Considerations of power have been centered in these approaches, from HE theory, which has described the revolutionary potential of personal power and person-centered psychotherapy, to FM theory, which has analyzed the intersection of power, privilege, and oppression within and outside of the therapy room. This study explored the task of navigating power dynamics responsibly within psychotherapy to promote empowerment, wellness and liberation rather than collusion with oppression and an unjust status quo. Grounded theory analysis was utilized to examine the perspectives of 14 eminent therapists, who hold expertise in HE and FM approaches. Participants were interviewed about their experiences navigating expert and cultural power dynamics in psychotherapy. The core finding of thi...

In the history of Sweden the years 1611–1718 are the so-called great power era (Swedish: stormaktstiden), the period of geographic and economic expansion, as well as the formation of a romantic image of own nation, state and language. In this age, the foundations of today’s Old Norse studies were shaped, and the interest in the language and history of the language took peculiar forms in nationalist glottogony, as in Olof von Rudbeck, the author of a popular work Atland eller Manheim, in which he pointed out that the Swedish language is in fact the language that Adam used in Eden. Strong nationalist tendencies and a growing interest in the native language were accompanied by the unusual situation of the publishing market in the history of the Swedish language, as this was the only time when native texts, not translations definitively prevailed.
