Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) provides Nancy and Garry with a mental tool kit that can be used to challenge negative thoughts. Clients benefit from CBT due to its direct and practical approach to problem-solving. The therapist goal is to provide an environment that encourages the client to change the patterns of thinking or behavior that causes the client difficulties. CBT is used to address some of Garry’s problems that includes sleeping difficulties, relationship problems with Nancy, and…

As a kid, I never got to do the normal father and son things like attending a football game, go fishing, or even hangout with my dad. In the movie Parenthood, Garry did not have a father figure in his life and it led him to be insecure about himself and think something was wrong with him. My dad is a truck driver for ADM and his schedule has been the same since he was in his 30s. He works Monday through Friday every week, gets home Saturday and then leaves again Sunday night. He is…

Garry has returned following a repeat diagnostic sleep study combined with a multiple sleep latency test. The overnight study revealed a sleep latency of seven minutes with good sleep efficiency of 80%. Almost eight hours of sleep was recorded. Again there was no evidence of obstructive sleep apnoea or periodic limb movements. Oxygen saturation was slightly reduced during the first half of the study at around 90% but this improved to 95% during the latter pasts. The ECG rhythm strip again…

much like how someone who is neurotic is more prone to have a “…tendency to feel negative emotions such as anger, guilt, contempt and resentment.” (Wade, Tavris, Garry. Chapter 2, P. 52). In the textbook it mentions a survey’s findings that “…young people, ages 16 to 21, are the most neurotic…and the least agreeable…” (Wade, Tavris, Garry. Chapter 2, P. 52-53) and that’s true of me (even though I’m 22 currently). I’m rather stubborn and have created and maintained a strong disbelief of anything…

Unified Bonds: Response to the movie “Parenthood.” Out of all of the families in this movie, I feel as though I can relate to… well, all of them in some sort of way. Gil’s family, in my opinion, is something like the suburban representation of what the concept of a uniform family should look like. He lives the go-to domestic lifestyle. His marriage is solid, his children happy, healthy. In many ways, Gil’s life reminds me a lot of the way mine used to be. As a child, my family unit seemed put…

Visual research” When we worked on photography history Garry Winogrand was one of the photographers that inspired me with my “Street People” assignment. My work is nothing like his but the free expression that I found in his work even though underneath some of his work you can see the different expressins in people this made me relise that you can express anything within a photo. Simon Garnier said: “I was too timid to get close to strangers to get intimate with them and tell their…

It was a frosty day as a young man treked outside into the dull, bleak streets of Dun Laoghaire, Ireland. He had a sort of a somber resolve about him, as if he was bearing a cumbersome avoirdupois. The intrepid tap of his footfalls could be heard moving down the streets. His destination soon came into sight, a two story brick building. You could see that the building had been there for an extensive period, since it kind of perched like a person who didn’t quite apperceive how to poise right. You…

He also speaks to gary in a vulgar and deeply unsettling manner, stating his mother is dead, that his mother killed his brother, and that “she made the most wonderfully awful noises”(831). as she died. This overstated demeanor is meant to grapple garry, shake him unsettle him. The assault of senses is to overstimulate him into shutting down in fear. He chooses to meet gary in such a vulgar location so he can ruin, stain a on precious location literally scorching the earth. The devil is using…

Huffington Post states "from January 1, 1977, to August 16, 1977 — Doctor Nick wrote prescriptions for Elvis for at least 8,805 pills, tablets, vials, and injectables. Going back to January 1975, the count was 19,012" (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/garry-rodgers/elvis-presleys-death-what_1_b_9157820.html). The same doctor claimed that prescribing so many drugs would keep him from more dangerous drugs, meaning that this was an attempt to help control Presley's addiction and prevent it from…

development. These eight stages run from childhood to adult hood. In each of these stages there are positive and negative aspects that can contribute to our physical, emotional, intelligence, and social morals that make us who we are (Wade, Tarvis, Garry, 2014, p.489). Each of these stages according to Erikson are present at birth, and with each step building to the next stage of development. Each stage has a psychosocial crisis, which is based on physiological development. Each stage can…
