...book followed by Jen who outline some of the strengths and weaknesses that we found in the book while also highlighting areas of personal development. The book we chose was Love’s Executioner by Irvin. D Yalom. (first published in 1989) But first a little about the author. Born in Washington DC in 1931 to Russian parents, Irvin D Yalom spent most of his childhood indoors, reading books, avoiding the perils of his the harsh reality of his neighbourhood. After graduating from Boston University School of Medicine in 1956 he went on to complete his internship and his residency in New York and Baltimore. In 1962 Yalom began his academic career at Stanford University. Existential therapy Soon after this period he made some of his most lasting contributions by teaching about group psychotherapy and developing his model of existential psychotherapy. Praised by peers for his accessible and non technical approach in his writing, Yalom believes that the success of his story telling is down to having ‘a stream of brief human vignettes running throughout the text’ (www.yalom.com). “What do you want?” This simple question generates some of the most intimate answers, even between perfect strangers. I want to be loved, I want to live forever, I want the childhood I never had……… Irvin Yalom describes these longings and the pain that’s associated with life as “existence pain”. He believes there are four “givens” of existence, which are sources of pain: • Death (inevitability...

...The Gift of Therapy by Irvin D. Yalom highlights the essential components of the therapist as well as the present and future experiences that occur during one’s practice of psychotherapy. This book guides future and tenure therapists with confidence by sharing positive and negative experiences that any therapist will face. Yalom’s approach to this selected style is clearly written with a process that develops patterns in developing psychotherapy that will benefit patients who are dealing with issues in life. According to Irvin Yalom, therapy requires unique strategies and approaches. “My point is that therapy is spontaneous, the relationship is dynamic and ever-evolving, and there is a continuous sequence of experiencing and then examining the process” (Yalom, 2002 p.34). The Gift of Therapy is an authentic work of art because it included lessons he learned through his experiences of thirty five years. Yalom captured the essence of his patient’s experiences as well as his lessons learned through encountering the science of psychotherapy. For example, the first part of the book focuses on the relationship between the therapist and the patient. This section of the book discussed the “here and now process and therapist self-disclosure.” (Yalom, 2002 p.40). This is a very important area in the work of the therapist because self-disclosure can provided interesting facts that are authentically derived from the communication with the patients. The importance of honesty in therapy...

...Ethical Dilemma Paper Topic: Identify one or more forms of countertransference that you might struggle with and address how you would deal with this in an ethical and effective manner. Countertransference is defined by Merriam-Webster as a psychological transference especially by a psychotherapist during the course of treatment, the psychotherapist's reactions to the patient's transference, and the complex of feelings of a psychotherapist toward the patient. (Merriam-Webster, 2012) The APA defines countertransference as the conscious or unconscious emotional reaction of the therapist to the patient which may interfere with treatment. (APA, 2012) These definitions provide black and white textbook offerings to the meaning of countertransference, but to experience countertransference firsthand brings the concept to light in an irradiating spectrum of colors and intensity. The APA’s definition captures an event of countertransference as being at both conscious and unconscious levels. I believe it’s imperative to acknowledge that during countertransference, the counselor can be both aware and unaware of their reaction(s) to a client’s appearance, tonality, mannerisms, religion, nationality, etc... In the struggle to maintain objectivity, the counselor is obligated to practice self-awareness and recognize (a) when they may be experiencing countertransference and (b) how they reacted to the countertransference. How can you recognize when you have reacted to countertransference...

...McDonald’s for failing to reduce the amount of trans fat the company used in its cooking process. In 2002, McDonald’s had publicly announced that, by February 2003, they would voluntarily begin using an “improved cooking oil” to prepare their fried foods. Do so would significantly reduce the amount of trans fat in their products by 48% ("Mcdonald's exposed for," 2004). McDonald’s withdrew their promise and did not switch over to a cooking oil with less trans fat, nor did they reveal to consumers that the conversion did not take place. The company claims that they changed their minds when customers began complaining that they did not want the taste of McDonald’s food to change (Horovitz, 2007). BTF accused McDonald’s of false advertising, deceiving consumers, and not taking the health of their consumers into consideration. In their lawsuit, BTF claimed that “McDonald's failed to make clear to customers that the type of oil used to fry its foods (which contains TFAs) had not been changed” ("Responsible shopper," 2005). BTF did not seek monetary damages, they only asked that McDonald’s publicize their failure to switch over to the healthier cooking oil and make that conversion as soon as possible. McDonald’s claimed that it was taking longer than expected to change to a new oil, but they were working on implementing the exchange. They did not provide any information as to how long they expected this to take. The company’s Chief Operating Officer stated that, "While speedy implementation...

...Organic oils Organic oils are produced in remarkable diversity by plants, animals, and other organisms through natural metabolic processes. Lipid is the scientific term for the fatty acids, steroids and similar chemicals often found in the oils produced by living things, while oil refers to an overall mixture of chemicals. Organic oils may also contain chemicals other than lipids, including proteins, waxes and alkaloids. Lipids can be classified by the way that they are made by an organism, their chemical structure and their limited solubility in water compared to oils. They have a high carbon and hydrogen content and are considerably lacking in oxygen compared to other organic compounds and minerals; they tend to be relatively nonpolar molecules, but may include both polar and nonpolar regions as in the case of phospholipids and steroids.[6] Mineral oils Crude oil, or petroleum, and its refined components, collectively termed petrochemicals, are crucial resources in the modern economy. Crude oil originates from ancient fossilized organic materials, such as zooplankton and algae, which geochemical processes convert into oil.[7] The name is a misnomer, in that minerals are not the source of the oil - ancient plants and animals are. Mineral oil is organic. However, it is classified as "mineral oil" instead of as "organic oil" because its organic origin is remote (and was unknown at the time of its discovery), and because it is obtained in the vicinity of rocks, underground...

Eat meat grilled, roasted or boiled and without using butter, oil or cream (not even low-fat versions). You could also 'dry fry' it - rub the surface of a frying pan with a few drops of oil on kitchen paper. Lean minced beef can be prepared as burgers or meatballs (mixed with an egg, spices, capers or gherkins) or enjoy frozen beefburgers (if less than 10 per cent fat). 2 All chicken and turkey (not goose or farmed duck) but remove skin before eating and avoid the outside part of the wings (too fatty). 3 Ham if low-fat and lean, also cut rind off. Avoid deli, cured, and smoked hams (too fatty). 4 Beef, veal or chicken liver. 5 All fish white or oily, fresh, frozen, dried, smoked or canned (but not in oil or in any sauce containing fat), even crab sticks. 6 All crustaceans and shellfish. 7 Up to two eggs a day.

...Suggested Title: Microdermabrasion: Skin peeling at its best and most effective! Suggested Title: How does microdermabrasion help to erase acne scars? Suggested Title: Will Microdermabrasion be the right treatment for your acne scars? Also known as diamond and lunchtime peel, microdermabrasion is a popular treatment for tackling mild to moderate acne scars and skin issues such as fine lines and hyper pigmentation. Not to be confused with its more invasive counterpart, dermabrasion, micro-peel only removes superficial dermal layers. So, although the results are surprisingly good, there is very little down time. Another factor to consider is that because of the limited inflammation that results from the skin peeling, microdermabrasion can easily be coupled with other form of acne control and scar removal treatments such as light therapy and microneedling. Yet, most people wonder if stripping a few microns worth of skin layers will actually help to get rid of acne scars. So, here is a look at the benefits and effects of this procedure. How does Microdermabrasion Work? There are scores of topical products in the market that boast of natural and artificial exfoliating agents. These contain tiny particles that provide an abrasive effect when you rub the cleanser into your skin. However, even at their most effective, these exfoliators only remove the dead cells on the surface. In contrast, microdermabrasion involves machine assisted exfoliation. The core principle is the same; an...

...Make Children Healthy using Oregano Oil An Investigatory Project Submitted by: Aaliyah Maxine Rochelle Pangan Grade 4 St. Catherine Submitted to: Ms. Casiñas II. Rationale Your community is where you live in with your neighbors, so you got to keep it safe and healthy. By observing your community, you may get to know about it, get to know its problems and investigate the source of the problems. It is exciting to investigate because you can help your community to solve the problem. The researcher observed that children don’t like to eat vegetables that much. This can cause problems in their nutrition. Even if they are young, their lives won’t last long because they lack vitamins and the proper diet to give them energy. She will make an experiment to help the children be healthy again and help her community become strong. III. Related Literature A.

The general definition of oil includes classes of chemical compounds that may be otherwise unrelated in structure, properties, and uses. Oils may be animal,vegetable, or petrochemical in origin, and may be volatile or non-volatile.[1] They are used for food, fuel,...
