...registration form, I selected foot care as my reason for needing medical attention. Well, you are not going to believe this, but the registration form should have had “euphoria” as an option. When my number was called, a sweet old lady that can only be categorized as a true Southern Belle was waiting for me with a dishpan of warm water and peroxide for my feet. Then this sweet old lady got down on her knees, right there in the parking lot and scrubbed my feet. Then, once my feet were dry, another Sweet Ole Southern Belle got down on her knees, in the parking lot, and massaged them with lotion. My initial reaction was a combination of guilt and embarrassment, but the ladies assured me they enjoyed doing it, had volunteered for it, and were extremely happy about the whole affair. I will never forget what these ladies taught me, and will forever be grateful for the experience. These ladies have changed my life and I will always remember them in my...

...Psychotherapy Final Project Rafael Ruelas Sport Psychology Capella University Introduction to Theories of Psychotherapy PSY6310 Summer 2013 Dr. Mankoff September 12, 2013 Introduction According to Bateman, Brown and Pedder (2000), psychotherapy refers to the treatment of emotional or mental disorders and adjustment problems through applying psychotherapy techniques as opposed to chemical and biological interventions. Psychotherapy is dependent on verbal exchange between the therapist and the person seeking help-commonly referred to as psychoanalysis. Therapeutic relationships are characterized by mutual trust between the two players with the main objective of helping individuals to change unhealthy and/or destructive behaviors, emotions and thoughts. In this pursuit, therapists combine several techniques including psychodynamics, behavioral and cognitive approaches. Anorexia nervosa There are many and varied psychological disorders in this case, I will focus on anorexia nervosa and its treatment. Anorexia nervosa is a condition that is characterized by refusal to maintain a healthy body weight or intense fear of gaining weight. The patient feels inadequate when he senses he is fat.

...A Father and Son Relationship Life in the 1940s was a very male-dominant time. The father was the head of the house and his work was passed on to his sons. A solid relationship between a father and his sons was essential to sustaining a strong household. If the relationship began to decline, the whole family collapsed. Death of a Salesman is a play by Arthur Miller in 1949. It tells a story of how the relationship between Willy, the patriarch, and his sons, Biff and Happy, initiates the demise of the Loman family. Biff and Happy adore their father and have nothing but love for him when they are young, but as they get older they realize that Willy did not prepare them for life as adults. Due to not having his father in his life and no examples to base his parenting off of, Willy finds fatherhood to be extremely difficult. When Willy was growing up, he lost his father at a young age. His father left when he was a baby and he “never had a chance to talk to him” and even after all the time that has passed, Willy feels “kind of temporary” about himself (36, Act 1). He turns to his older brother, Ben for advice. Willy repeatedly asks Ben if he is raising his boys the right way (36. Act 1). Willy can be heard asking Ben how he should teach his boys (36. Act 1). Willy’s lack of confidence in parenting ultimately affects how his sons grow up. He knows that he has not raised them to be the best they could be,...

...of her husband’s death she is at last free of her ailment and excitedly contemplating her future. Not only do these ladies have difficulty accepting their lives, they are also self-centered. Therefore, neither Mrs. Loisel nor Mrs. Mallard is capable of appreciating their loving and caring husbands. Mathilde Loisel fails to acknowledge her husband’s thoughtfulness in bringing home an invitation to the Ministerial ball. Instead, she focuses on the dress and jewels she is lacking. She also ignores his generosity in handing over his savings to allow her to purchase a nice dress. Although Chopin does little to provide us with a description of Louise Mallard’s husband, Louise recollects that her husband’s face “had never looked save with love upon her…”, seemingly implying that he was kind and loving toward her (Chopin 67)....

An interview was conducted with a family consisting of 3 generations living together in one household. The family consists of a 50-year-old grandmother, Janet, her daughter, Holly (age 23), and the 4-year-old grandson, Brandon. The daughter and grandchild recently moved from Ohio to California following a divorce because they needed financial and emotional support. Both adults work and take care of Brandon, with his mother being the primary caretaker. He also goes to pre-school part time (personal communication, 2013). This seems to work and helps give Brandon a sense of security and safety. The review of health functions is as follows: 11 Functional Health Patterns Values, Health Perception Maintaining and carrying on the family cultural health practices is very important to this family, as they are primarily...

...“Stevenson’s parents’ horror at their son’s involvement with a married woman subsided somewhat when she returned to California in 1878, but it revived with greater force when Stevenson decided to join her in August 1879.” Stevenson was devoted and head over hills for the woman he fell in love with, and did not want to leave her side, so he left his family and went off with the married woman.. Fanny Vandegrift Osbourne (David Daiches) In 1881, Stevenson published his first collection of his essays (Virginibus Puerisque), which most had appeared at The Cornhill. Let alone in the 1880’s Robert Louis Stevenson was publishing and writing much more than that essay. “ In April 1882 he left Davos; but a stay in the Scottish Highlands, while it resulted in two of his finest short stories, “Thrawn Janet” and “The Merry Men,” produced lung hemorrhages...He revised Prince Otto, worked on A Child’s Garden of Verses (first called Penny Whistles), and began The Black Arrow: A Tale of the Two Roses (1888), a historical adventure tale deliberately written in anachronistic language.”(David Daiches) Although Stevenson was sick, I’ll he did not let that get in the way of any of his writing.

In the first story The Gift of the Magi the main character is struggling with internal conflicts about how to get her husband a gift for Christmas. The couple only made twenty dollars a week and Della the wife only had less than two dollars to buy her husband’s gift. Della had already checked and all the gifts she would want to get for him were more than what she had. This was a poor family and the only two things they had in the world they were proud of was “The James Dillingham Young's were very proud of two things which they owned. One thing was Jim’s gold watch. It had once belonged to his father. And, long ago, it had belonged to his father’s father. The other thing was Della’s hair. If a queen had lived in the rooms near theirs, Della would have washed and dried her hair where the queen could see it. Della knew her hair was more beautiful than any queen’s jewels and gifts.” (Henrey, O). The conflict for Della was to either cut and get rid of her prized possession or to not give her loving husband a gift for Christmas. Della thought hard about her decision but in the end she chose to do something kind for her husband. If Della wouldn’t have bought...
