...A PERSONALISED INDUCTION WILL ALWAYS BE MORE EFFECTIVE Always is a metaphor, therefore it is a given and will happen. The title of this discussion leads to the suggestion that the personalised induction will always be more effective, however, I am inclined to disagree that this statement is true. Always is a metaphor, therefore it is a given and will happen. In some clients this may be true, but not always. The type of client, the type of hypnotherapy required and the state of mind of the client will also have factors to play. A personalised induction allows for a more personal approach but in many cases this may not be possible. Hypnosis is used for a wide range of problems; weight loss, smoking, stress and phobias to name but a few. Generic hypnotherapy materials include CDs, DVDs, books all of which highly marketable and widely available on line or on the high street. By mass marketing the therapist can reach a larger audience and potentially achieve a larger profit with a relatively small amount of time and effort required. By doing this however there is no option for personalising material and the purchaser has no choice but to accept the tone and style suggested by the hypnotist. Looking at the huge variety of hypnotherapy materials on the market, it seems to me that they are working for people and that the use of personalised inductions is not always necessary. In an initial consultation between client and hypnotherapist, the hypnotherapist will have...

(a) The MSc gene is expressed in the liver of the Wild-Type (WT) rat and its enzyme product metabolises a drug called Pharmaco. Sequencing of the MSc gene in a new rat strain called GLA has identified a single base change from the WT sequence. Depending on where this change occurs in the MSc gene, what effect – if any – would it have on the GLA rats’ ability to metabolise Pharmaco? [ 14 marks ] (b) Further investigation shows the base change in the MSc gene of GLA rats occurs in the promoter region and is likely to prevent the gene’s transcription in the liver. Briefly describe the methods that could be used to show the absence of MSc mRNA in GLA rat livers. What information might you need? What controls would you use? [ 8 marks ] 3.

Though these promotions are specifically designed to target and be personalised to each individual but aims to cover a wide target audience at the same time. This can be conveyed through advertisements such as: television advertisements, radio adverts, leaflets, posters, website advertisements, social media and many more, though these are the most significant uses of advertisement used to target a large scale of the public. There have been several reputable landmarks that have been successful in raising awareness of health promotion to the world, ensuring that they have provided a substantial amount of knowledge and attentiveness so that each target audience acknowledges if not corresponds to the information provided by these landmarks.

...What is the difference between Education and Schooling? Education and schooling go hand in hand, so many people get the terms education and schooling mixed up, but education and schooling are not the same thing. Schooling is a formal form of education where students are taught in a classroom about subjects based on a curriculum. Teachers direct their lesson plans around the core of the curriculum for the students to be successful according to society. One can be educated without schooling. For example, if children work well with their hands and can build things, then they have learned the practice of engineering. Someone does not have to be teaching students on how to read and write to educate them. Many times it is thought that students who are schooled the most, are the most intelligent and educated people out there. But what about people who don’t have access to schooling? They may still be educated and show their intelligence in other ways. __ RaphPierre says: April 24, 2013 at 11:45 am I have been working as an electrician on drilling rigs for several years. Each year, we go to classes to learn more about our trade, safety, engineering, and many other aspects of our work. It even goes so far as to go to classes for how to relate with foreign cultures. Education is not equal to school. I learn more on my own than was ever taught in school. I have been educating myself. The possibilities of self education have exploded with the introduction of the net. Even passing...

Achieving quality is a combination of individual, team and organisational responsibility. Organising that effectively is the purpose of social care governance. Evidence-based practice tells us that this is best achieved by teams reflecting in a structured way on the service they currently provide and then on how it could be developed. Social care is in the process of changing working methods, organisational systems and culture to achieve the range of intentions around creating a more personalised care for older people in our regions social care system. For example Personal budgets comprise funding from different agencies whilst individual budgets just comprise social care funding. The objective is to offer improved corresponding, greater personalised services which are readymade to match the person’s requirements. Therefore, people developing care governance have opportunities to make sure that their approach matches the changing nature of social care and contributes to looking at services from the perspective of the people who use them (Warren,...

...results but try to make it as painless as possible; that’s why animal testing shouldn’t be banned. We need it for human advancement, and some people try to make it as humane as possible; trying to avoid it if they can. While most animals are promptly euthanized after the experiment (usually for safety reasons or to end the critter’s suffering), some become famous cases of amazing achievement like Dolly the Sheep- ”Dolly was important because she was the first mammal to be cloned from an adult cell. Her birth proved that specialised cells could be used to create an exact copy of the animal they came from. This knowledge changed what scientists thought was possible and opened up a lot of possibilities in biology and medicine, including the development of personalised stem cells known as iPS cells.” from “The Life of Dolly”. Even if the perfect alternative to using animal experimentation exists, it’s quite literally illegal to go without it, as the third article of “The Nuremberg Code” states: “The experiment should be so designed and based on the results of animal experimentation and a knowledge of the natural history of the disease or other problem under study, that the anticipated results will justify the performance of the experiment.” This is the guiding principle for the usage of human trials--animal experimentation is a must have before testing on humans; not only does it make ethical sense, but it is quite literally the law. But one may ask, aren’t animals unreliable for...

...The overall benefits, challenges and opportunities to new businesses using internet marketing Task 1 Access * More frequent individualization and communications to build relationships The main benefits and opportunities of using the above are as follows. When you have a customer’s information you can work out what they might like. With this information you can send them relevant product information and special offers instead of sending everyone the same e-mails which they might get sick of and completely disregard or even choose a different business. Using the information correctly will build a relationship with the customer which in turn will build customer loyalty which is a very important benefit considering the amount of competition. Amazon is good example of a business using customer information correctly and individualization for customer relations. They build relationships with customers by monitoring and collecting a customer’s purchase history and sending out personalized advertisements via e-mail, social media and as soon as a customer logs in tin the website. This makes it more personal. * Use of communications to promote e.g. Special offers, product launches The main benefits and opportunities of using the above are as follows. The use of online communications can save a lot of money in advertising new products and offers which if it is not done online then it would need to be done using leaflets and flyers which need to be delivered as well, which...

In this article, we'll outline the approach we took at Pfizer and offer some ideas that you can take away and implement right away. But before we do that, let's first look at why this misalignment between people and business goals happens. The root causes are not that complicated and usually centre on two things: first, the people who find and hire employees don't sit in the same meetings as those who set the direction of the overall business and its main operating units. Getting a seat at those senior-level forums, and the credibility to contribute on an equal footing as a genuine 'business partner', is more difficult than you might think. This is usually because the perception of HR, where talent acquisition resides, is that of a lower-level...

After looking at the history of hypnosis, it will go on to describe the psychological and physical aspects of hypnosis, giving reference to Beta, Alpha, Theta, and Delta waves, the four different brain waves, indicating an individuals mental state, which brain waves comes in to play during hypnosis and its relevance. Graham Wicks’ (1985 Toronto’s Annual International Society of Hypnosis convention) condensed concepts from previous various writers’ concepts, The multistate phenomenon, five states of hypnotic features, will be addressed, (Karle & Boys) as will Edmond Jacobson (1929) on the effects of muscle contractions between patients and the benefits of relaxation leading to the role of relaxation in hypnotherapy today and the use of progressive muscle relaxation techniques. Hypnosis goes back thousands of years to the Greeks and Egyptians. They used to put people in a trance-like state, to bring on dreams, so they could help with peoples problems. Hypnosis was also found amongst Shaman’s, which were also known as ‘witchdoctors’. Shamans were strongly focussed with a powerful process of suggestion and visualisation and will a sick person to be healed (Hadley and Staudacher, 1996). A more Westernised approach came around in the 1700s with an Austrian doctor called Franz Anton Mesmer (1733-1815), who became known as the grandfather of hypnosis. He came to develop the theory...

...legal agreement that enables a person to appoint a trusted person – or people – to make financial and/ or property decisions on their behalf. It is an agreement made by choice that can be executed by anyone over the age of 18, who has full legal capacity. ‘Full legal capacity’ means that the person must be able to understand the nature and effect of the document they are completing and the nature and extent of their estate. An enduring power of attorney cannot be made by another person on behalf of a donor whose capacity might be in doubt due to mental illness, acquired brain injury, cognitive impairment or Dementia. It can be operational while the person still has capacity but may be physically unable to attend to financial matters. The benefit of the ‘enduring power of attorney’ is that unlike an ordinary power of attorney; it will continue to operate even if the donor loses full legal capacity. However, it does not permit an attorney to make personal and lifestyle decisions, including decisions about treatment. The authority of the attorney is limited to decisions about the donor’s property and financial affairs. To cancel (revoke) the ‘enduring’ power of attorney the donor must have full legal capacity. The revocation must be made in writing. If the donor has lost capacity, an application must be made to the State Administrative Tribunal to decide if the enduring power of attorney should be revoked.

I will be looking at the impact that chronic illnesses have on a person’s life with particular reference to the illness Myalgic encephalomyelitis’ (M.E.) sometimes known as ‘Chronic Fatigue Syndrome’ (C.F.S). I will explore the role that hypnotherapy can have in pain relief and stress reduction. M.E. is an illness about which there is currently much disagreement among medical professionals regarding its classification, aetiology and recommended treatment. Estimates of it’s prevalence in the UK for example have ranged from 6 to 2600 in 100’000 across 10 years of study (1). Estimates by national health organizations say 450’000 people in the UK suffer. it occurs more often in women and is less prevalent among children and adolescents. Most research done has been on the assumption that they’re the same and this is gives good enough information at least for therapeutic purposes. CFS didn’t gained acceptance as a bona fide illness until 1988 because it is a ‘diagnosis by exclusion’ illness that can’t be tested for directly. Also the primary symptoms of fatigue, lethargy and muscle aches are similar to psychological conditions like depression, leading it to be dismissed by...
