In November 1942 an eight person joins them in hiding. Fritz Pfeffer, he was a dentist and an acquaintance of both the Franks and the Van Pels family. Four of Otto’s employees helped them. They were always living in constant fear of being discovered and captured. It wasn’t easy for eight people to live in such…

Anne Frank: Knowing a Girl Through her Diary Anne Frank’s The Diary of a Young Girl is about her struggle to find her identity-not only as a teenage girl, but as a Dutch Jew who would eventually be persecuted for her faith. Anne Frank’s development from a giddy preteen into an introspective mature young woman as a result of being trapped as her religion is extraordinary. Anne Frank’s conflicts are rooted in her being trapped as a result of her religion. Her conflict begins once her father Otto…

The first video I viewed was Carl Rogers and Client Centered Therapy. In Client Centered Therapy, according to Rogers, the therapist needs to be genuine and congruent while displaying a nothing hidden attitude (1965). Prior to his session with Gloria, he said, “realness in me equals realness in her” (1965). It is important in Client Centered Therapy for the therapist to display attending skills by actively listening to what the client is saying; thus allowing them to explore deep within…

S Perls and Laura, his wife. Fritz was the name that he was usually referred to by the majority of those around him. He was born in Berlin, Germany in 1893 into a middle class family (Gall, S. B., Beins, B., & Feldman, A. J. 1996). His mother (Amelia Rund) grew up in an Orthodox Jewish environment, while his father (Nathan Perls) was Grand Master in the Freemason Lodge. His father was quite reclusive in his habits. (O 'Leary, E. 2013). The youngest in the family, Fritz had two sisters whom he…

Anne Frank once stated that, "In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart." These were the words she had written in her diary days right before she was captured and taken away to a concentration camp. Anne Frank was one of the many Jewish people who went into hiding during the Holocaust. Her family and the Van Daan's lived together in the Annex. They were all one-day captured and taken to concentration camps. The only one that survived was Otto Frank, Anne's father.…

The Diary of Anne Frank ends with the statement, "In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart." These words were found in an entry in her diary dated July 1944, several months before she perished in a concentration camp. During her ordeal, this quote means that she felt that people are really kind, optimistic, and forgiving. Even though Anne didn’t seem like she was optimistic, forgiving, and kind, she at least tried to get along with her family and friends. Anne…

In the counseling session with Gloria was very interest to me it show me many different way a counselor can handle a client. I notice the Fritz Perls used Gestalt therapy with Gloria. She was very confrontational and defiant with him. He was very direct toward her in the session. Even though Gloria was defiant with him, she was aware if the things that she was doing. she is laughing half the time too during the session. He began to challenges her body language, when he asks her why is she…

As a 44 year old violinist, Fritz Kreisler did not seem like the perfect candidate for the role of an officer in the Austrian army during the beginning of World War 1, but his ability to quickly adapt and respond to the unusual demands placed upon him during his time fighting was what helped him lead his platoon to victory against Russian forces in Galicia and ultimately get himself back into the arms of his wife. After reading Kreisler’s Four Weeks In The Trenches The War Story Of A Violinist,…

War, the name itself leaves the man psychologically and physically disturbed. As described by Fritz Kreisler in his memoir “Four Weeks in the Trenches”, war not only bring destruction upon the nations and countries but also destroys the people engaged in the war. Kreisler described the situation of the people of Austria before the war; excited, determined, and eager to work for their country. Fritz and his platoon consisted of fifty-five men, two buglers, and an ambulance patrol of four men. Not…

World War I, the first war that is generally understood to be a total war, affected soldiers from around the world fighting on the Eastern and Western fronts in various ways. The experiences that individuals faced are generally dependant on random factors of military rank, ethnicity, which of the fronts someone was stationed and the time said soldier was stationed. There seems to be two overall perspectives of how soldiers made sense of the war at the time of writing their first-hand accounts,…
