Lynne Mccafferty: Love And Logic
Lynne McCafferty began using Love and Logic "Parenting the Love and Logic Way" while working as a clinical therapist in a residential treatment facility in Aberdeen, South Dakota. She had worked with children and families for more than 20 years, and has seen and used many therapeutic approaches and techniques. Many of these approaches are valuable and have much to offer, yet, after using Love and Logic and seeing the immediate changes, the immediate ability of parents to "get it" and "do it," she found that this approach is fantastic in its clarity, in its ability to work with all types of behaviors and situations. Its real life - its real simple. Lynne immediately realized that teaching others about Love and Logic is what she wanted to do

    Analysis Of Judith Ortiz Cofer's First Love '

    In Judith Ortiz Cofer's “First Love”, the speaker is opportunistic and infatuated. The narrator is opportunistic because she did not let a sense of morality stop her from taking advantage of whatever opportunity she had to get what she wants. Simply because the narrator wanted a mere glimpse of her crush who worked at a grocery store, she hoped her mother “[smoking] with so little enthusiasm”(Cofer 1) did not mean that she'd have to stop going to the store to pick up cigarettes. The narrator did not have the morality to think that to quit smoking cigarettes may be good for her mother's health. Rather, she wanted her to continue “[smoking] them fast” just to go to the grocery store more often(1). The speaker even called that moment of her life…

    Molly Mcintire: Summary

    Molly McIntire was a young girl when the war hit hard on all Americans. Many had felt the need to do what they could to help the war effort. Whether it be a victory garden or doing extra work for the troops overseas, the people in the 1940s did all they could to support World War II. Molly's mother had taken a job to help pay the bills while her husband is serving as a doctor overseas. Just as Mrs. McIntire, women at this time had to become the main money makers and support their family with some income. Molly and her brother Ricky were being taken care of by Mrs. Gilford.

    Dorset Family Matters Service An overview of the principles underlying this work with parents

    An overview of the principles underlying this work with parents. The principles underlying our work with parents is based upon Individual (Adlerian) Psychology developed by Alfred Adler. Humanistic or client-centred psychology underpins the relationship between the facilitator and the parent (our client). Individual Psychology Some of the core concepts of this theory are All behaviour is goal directed which means that we behave in a certain way to meet specific goals. We are social beings, therefore our main goal is to belong. In order to understand behaviour we have to understand the effect of that behaviour on others especially important is the parent-child relationship. Thus cooperation is one of the corner stones of the philosophy. People, including children, behave according to their own subjective view of reality, and so to understand others we need empathy, the ability to see things from their point of view. This is termed private logic, which is the unique conviction we have about life, self and others and is influenced by genetic, cultural and family factors. The life style is formed through childhood experiences and involves the affective, cognitive and behavioural strategies we employ to reach out goal. Mutual respect is essential between people in a democracy and in a democratic family. Discipline is an essential part of parenting and self development. There is an emphasis on cognitive behavioural approaches to change, because if we choose our behaviour to meet certain goals we can change that behaviour if it no longer suits us. Our philosophy therefore is a very optimistic one. Parenting skills based upon these concepts are mostly regarded as positive parenting or cooperative discipline and often described as an authoritative approach. They include such methods as using logical consequences recognising goals of behaviour introducing family meetings teaching problem solving skills emphasising encouragement. It also includes communication skills such…

    Precious Jones Psychodynamic Theory

    Precious Jones Psychodynamic Theory

    The first theory will be the family emotional structured theory. In order for me to develop a plan of intervention, I need to work and understand Precious’s story, by understanding her family history, the people involved in her life and knowing the origin of her problems. The second theory is the psychodynamic theory since this theory is concerned with individuals in the context of their psychosocial environment. The third theory will be, the person-centered theory; this theory incorporates a perspective on human nature and development that is more optimistic and strength-focused which will be more effective for Precious. Next I will be using the behavioral theory; through this theory, I will be focusing on the consequence of the behavior, the environment factors that elicit and maintain a behavior and the social theory. Cognitive theory will be used next; since this theory works well for the diverse population who seek concrete, practical approaches to problem-solving it will be very useful to use for the Jones family. The next theory that will be used is the structural family theory; since Precious’s case is more focused on the family dynamic, and most of the interventions will be organizing interventions with families, it will offer an alternative and contemporary perspective to family emotional systems theory. Next I will be using solution focused theory; it will primarily be used to assist Precious in making improvement her interactions with her mother and the people around her. The last theory to be used for this case will be the narrative theory. Through narrative theory, Precious will be an active participant in telling her story either through writing her story or through…

    Phyllis Rose, Tools of Torture

    Driving your car to a dinner with friends you go by hundreds of advertisement slogans at the side of the road. Reading them seems to be a good way to entertain your mind with all those miles ahead and since you didn't decide what are you going to order yet you think that maybe some of them will give you an idea. One of them captures your attention in a special way, it shows the image of a laughing sheep and below it says: “Meat is real food”. Eureka! Now you have a guess of what your order will be, but as long as you keep thinking in this phrase you wonder what they meant with the word “real”. If they are stating such a thing it means that they also believe that there is other food that is not real or not as real as meat. A second thought crosses your mind when you remember a column you read in the newspaper a few days ago which was titled as followed: “Studies have found that the consumption of meat and animal products increase the development of chronic diseases including high blood pressure, diabetes, coronary heart disease, obesity, kidney failure, osteoporosis and cancer”.…

    Strengths Of Structural Family Therapy

    I enjoyed reading your post. You mentioned the strengths of structural family therapy and how it allows the family to know their role and what is expected of each member of the family. Another strength of the structural family therapy approach is that it has subsystems. And that every family subsystem has specific tasks and make requirements on its family members. Within the subsystems are boundaries and by the proper function within the subsystems will allow the boundaries to be clear. For example a family of 4 that consist of a father, mother and two children; the father may be more the discipline or correction of behavior and the mother maybe more focused on the nurturing. Each person’s role is defined and boundaries are set as to who will…

Mothers who tended to adopt an emotion- coaching philosophy were more likely to achieve secure parent–child attachments, as reported by their children.

    Goal Statement

    I have always been fascinated with human behavior. Somehow I instinctively knew that our behaviors are affected by many environmental factors. Thus, as a child, I found myself always attempting to psychoanalyze the behaviors of my friends, family, and television characters. In 2005, I enrolled in LeMoyne Owen College. Since LeMoyne does not offer a major in psychology, I elected sociology as my major. Although I loved studying the theories associated with Sociology; I wanted to pursue my studies in Psychology. As a result, I transferred to the University of Memphis in 2007. I hold a B.A. in Psychology and look forward to earning a Master Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I feel strongly that this is the path that God has put in place for me to take. I look forward to advancing my knowledge in psychology concepts such as brain function, cognition, attention, personality, behavior and many other methods, and researches tools that will better enable me to understand individuals and groups and assist them with their problems in order to help them become productive members of society. I worked for the Regional Intervention Program (RIP) as a classroom coordinator. The Regional Intervention Program has been serving families with young children since 1969. RIP is an internationally recognized parent implemented program in which parents learn to work directly with their own children. Experienced RIP parents provide training and support to newly enrolled families. The program is available to families in which there are concerns regarding a young child's behavior, and is coordinated by a professional resource staff person. This position provided me with an extraordinary view of maladies of childhood behaviors. Regional Intervention Program used the methods of Applied Behavioral Analysis; through this program I have witnessed countless behavioral problems change. Being able to work with children who have behavioral problems and seeing a…
