Part One: Self-Exploration

Theoretical orientation of a counsellor need not be cast in stone nor so exhaustive that there is a confusion for choice. Theoretical Orientation for a counsellor is like a tool box and this gets organized and systematized over a period of constant practice. It must be remembered that the tool box must have sufficient set of tools to organize and cater to problems that are encountered regularly. Despite the fact that there are over 400 odd theories that are essentially part of treatment paradigms, very few may, may be between 20 and 20 are applied and used on a Continue reading...

PRACTICUM FILED

Working with an intern for the first time gave me a lot of knowledge and insights about the art therapy session and its process. The observation process in the beginning enabled me to observe not only the actions of interns but also the clients’ reactions and behaviors. Although the process was able to help me establish a general idea about the clients’ personalities, I still found it insufficient for obtaining information about the clients’ background and family history.
Luckily, when it was already time for me to lead the whole art therapy sessions, I felt ready and confident. During Continue reading...

Often, such people focus on their imperfections, especially the physical features of their body, which would make them fret about these features and at no point would they believe anyone who comments positively on them.

“A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.” These words ofJosh Billings perfectly describe the attitude of animals towards people. However, the proofs that animals affect to human beings not only on the emotional level are proved scientifically. In this paper, I would like to make a comprehensive investigation of a theme how companion species can influence human beings. It is well known that scientists claim that the right choice of a pet can change both physical stat and fate of its owner. It turns out that we want to have Continue reading...

Indeed, Freudian notions have so thoroughly permeated human culture that the jargon (if not the substance) of psychoanalysis is accessible to even the most untutored observers of human behavior, so much so that poet W.H.
