Its efficacy has also been established in the treatment of certain medical disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, hypertension, fibromyalgia, post-myocardial infarction depression, noncardiac chest pain, cancer, diabetes, migraine, and other chronic pain disorders. In the mid-1960s, Dr. Aaron T. Beck developed cognitive therapy as a time-sensitive, structured therapy that uses an information-processing model to understand and treat psychopathological conditions. The theory is based, in part, on a phenomenological approach to psychology, as proposed by Epictetus and other Greek Stoic philosophers and more contemporary theorists such as Adler, Alexander, Horney, and Sullivan. The approach emphasizes the role of individuals’ views of themselves and their personal worlds as...

More importantly in order to excel at any craft it takes practice and critique to make anyone an established writer. As an economics major and accounting minor, formal papers, essays and exerts are expected of me to write. These types of papers include research working papers that illustrate results based around a thesis. Through my college career I’ve had a lot of experience writing working papers , as well as evaluation papers based off of sample working papers I’ve read and expressed my stance. In this essay I will illustrate what experiences I’ve had in the past with writing and highlight any strengths and weaknesses I’ve experienced in each area. In many of my economic courses a lot of our topics of discussion were based on theory and evidence to support a writer’s research. For instance my instructor Alexander Padilla challenged his classes to read many working papers and write what our thoughts and educated opinions concerning the publications were. A lot of times he challenged our intellect by discussing more controversial subjects which initially were not in my comfort zone but highlighted many social phenomena’s our society faces today. For instance we read an article published...

...Human Service Manager Exercise Paper Managing people is almost as old as the history of mankind, since it appeared simultaneously with the appearance of the first forms of human organizations, tribes, communities, clans. As economic development and the emergence of large organizations, personnel management has become a special control function that requires specialized knowledge and skills, the organizations have established special units composed of people with the knowledge and skills – human resources departments. With the development of scientific and technological progress and increasing complexity of organizations in the second half of the twentieth century, the functions of these departments have expanded – administration of benefits and maintenance of relations with trade unions, supplemented by recruitment, training and staff development, the establishment of compensation systems, career development, communication, and significantly increased their importance for organization. Specific responsibility for the overall management of human resources in large organizations is usually entrusted to workers from trained personnel department, usually consisting of staff services. In order for such specialists to be actively promoting the purposes of cooperation and success, they need not only knowledge and expertise in their particular field, but information that satisfies the needs of lower-level managers. However, if lower level managers do not understand the specifics of...

...have negative attitudes in regards to reading. In addition to their negative attitude, today’s student also has a plethora of other activities available for them to do rather than pick up a good book. As we continue to grow as a society in our educational and work endeavors, students now more than ever, need to change their attitude in regards to reading. This paper outlines the trends and attitudes of fifteen ninth grade students in rural West Virginia. Why Attitudes? The word attitude can be defined in a number of different ways and everyone has an attitude towards most things in their life, including reading. Alexander and Filler (1976) proposed a definition for read-specific attitudes. Their definition stated that a reading attitude is a system of feelings related to reading which causes the learner to approach or avoid a reading situation (Alexander & Filler, 1976; Verhoeven & Snow, 2001). It is important to understand the attitudes students have towards reading for two major reasons. One, attitude can affect the level of reading ability that a student eventually achieves. One’s attitude can have an influence on the amount of practice a student puts into reading as well as the effort they put into their practice. The other factor is how one’s attitude can effect if they choose to read or not. Even students we are fluent readers but have poor attitudes will choose to do something else rather than read if they have the option. This choice is now known as aliteracy...

...BLANTYRE INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY ASSIGNMENT: PRINCIPLES OF MARKETING (BBA 122) INDEX NO. DATE: 17/03/14 ASSIGNMENT ONE. A. Usefulness of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs to Marketing In the most basic sense, Maslow's hierarchy identifies five primary areas of needs experienced by most humans. Beginning with physiological, or basic life survival, needs, the model progresses in subsequent steps through safety and security, love and belongingness, self-esteem and finally selfactualization. Maslow postulated that as man meets the needs at the first level, he moves toward the next, then the next and so on. More recent studies have added levels to the needs hierarchy and refined the categories, but marketing classes throughout the country continue to use Maslow's needs hierarchy as a reasonable focus for modern marketing efforts. Maslow posited that human behaviour and decision-making are motivated by one of the five need levels in his hierarchy. Applied to marketing theory, your ability to effectively appeal to one of these motivational drivers is a key determinant of your potential success. Non-essential services massage treatments or custom tailoring, for example - may be marketed successfully to those in the fourth or fifth level of Maslow's hierarchy because those people are driven by the needs for increased self-esteem and realizing their full potential. The same marketing campaign is unlikely to appeal to those on the first level, as they are driven by the most basic of human needs:...

Participant modeling is a treatment technique emphasizing therapist demonstration of approach to graded in vivo fear stimuli, guided rehearsal by the client of progressively more difficult approach responses, and independent responses client performance of those (Bandura, 1976), This treatment package (also termed “contact desensitization” (Ritter, 1%8) has been used to attenuate fear responses to Bandura, targets such as snakes (e.g., Blanchard and Ritter, 1969; Blanchard, 1970; Ritter, 1968; Thase and Moss, 1976), heights (e.g., Ritter, 1969), water (e.g., Lewis, 1972*), rats (e.g., Lick and Bootzin, 1970), and dogs (MacDonald, 1975; Richards and Siegel, 1978). Comparative research would indicate that participant modeling is superior to other techniques commonly employed to promote fear reduction (Bandura, 1976), but Leitenberg (1976) notes a limitation to that research, namely its near exclusive focus on non clinical populations and targets. There are few reports on the use of participant modeling with chronic, debilitating fears (e.g., MacDonald, 1975). This paper describes the extension and refinement of participant modeling techniques as applied to a long-standing significant fear reaction. and clinically CASE HISTORY The client-j-, a 48-yr-old...

...Family Diversity and Culture Catina Pierre Alexander, Ed.D. Walden University My childhood family adapted to the “The Standard North American Family” (SNAF). My family was a traditional African American family whereas they sought each other for the union of marriage. In Louisiana, most families did not practice arranged marriages and kinship marriages. In other words, boy meet girl and vice versa, fall in love and get married. Both parents were present in my childhood home along with my three siblings. My father was not the ultimate “breadwinner” of the family. My mother worked and contributed to the economic resources of our family too. Neither of my parents’ attended a four-year college. My father served four years in the Army and served two of those years in the Vietnam War. My mother earned an Associate’s Degree in Business from Delgado University. My parents held respectable and descent paying jobs. My father is a retired welder of 30 years from the Local Union 60. My mom is a retired customer service representative of 33 years of service from AT&T. They are now retired and enjoying life even more. Christianity is a very important characteristic of my family. We attended church almost every Sunday. I attended Sunday school, participated in the youth choir, and attended vacation bible school (VBS). Family bonds and values are important characteristics of my family too. My cousins and I grew up close as if we were siblings. We attended church...

COMPARATIVE LITERATURE BASED ON TWO PAPERS INTRODUCTION This study is mainly a comparative literature review of two research papers which are both looking at Team personalities and Change management aspects within project management. The comparative study is based on research papers conducted by Crawford and Nahmias (2010) and Battilana, et al, 2010). The papers were carefully selected since they were all looking at the same concept of key abilities required to manage and execute change management projects. According to Crawford and Nahmias (2010), it was important to carry out this study to correctly address the question of who is the best person or profession suitable to manage major organisational transformations. The research was focusing on three people whom were seen as the right people to drive the organisational transformations and are as follows; Project Managers, Program Managers and Change Managers. The ideology was to assess their daily duties and come up with the best suitable competencies required to manage change. Looking at the second paper, Battilana, et al, 2010 indicated that there was increasing substantiation that transformation driver’s leadership features and behaviours determine the achievement or malfunction...
