counseling office and websites were provided where the tapes could be downloaded. In preparation for the exam, I reviewed the 8 content areas. It afforded me the opportunity to reacquaint myself with the different theories. In reviewing these theories, it helped me to understand that no one theory stands…

Not all social scientists agree that positivism, and its methods which borrow so heavily from the hard sciences, is the best way to generate understanding and knowledge. They argue that the role of things such as social construction and individual and group decision-making need a space within social science methodology (Schwandt, 1994). In response to these critiques, post-positivism was born. Post-positivism holds the same values as positivism, with a continued focus on the methods of the…

fears it’s necessary to discuss the theories of development in order to consider all possible causes of the child’s phobia and the reasons for individual differences regarding fears. A range of different developmental theories will be discussed in order to analyse the differences in fear between Anna and Bjorn, including Bandura’s Social Cognitive theory, Freud’s Psychoanalytic theory and Piaget’s Cognitive Developmental theory.

makes science.” While Consilience and Life is a Miracle converse over the idea of unifying knowledge and the practicality of it, they each have an obvious standpoint on the topic and it is linked to the study of how the universe was created and the theories surrounding creation.

Science is something that has been around since the beginning of time and impacts our lives in many ways. Often, when we hear the word science, we create an image in our minds of people wearing large goggles, dressed in white lab coats, running complicated experiments and testing different chemicals, and while this may be a significant part of science, it does not define it in its entirety. So, what exactly is science and what role does it play in our lives? People’s views of science can differ…

Out of all the theories we’ve covered through the course of the semester. Person-centered therapy has managed to capture my attention the most, and here’s why. Trust is something that’s automatically given to the client who is seen as the sole contributor of being able to solve his or her own problems without the assistance of direct intervention. Now, when I first heard of this therapy I immediately thought. “So, what exactly does the therapist do again?” It turns out that the therapist’s job…

Historical and intellectual background of theory While there are many criminological theories, this paper is focused on general strain theory. General strain theory has been revised by multiple different theorists and has gone from being a structure to a social-psychological area. Robert Agnew’s version of general strain theory discusses strain specifically in individuals as a classical and traditional area of criminology. Strain in individuals leads to negative relationships amongst the…

Pooled together, these quotes qualify our perceptions and how the relate to the real world. In a physical sense, there has to be a certain organic separation between our minds and the world around it, which is through the transmission of light and the coalescence of that information in our brains. I say organic because this particular separation is caused a natural and physiological sequence. But the intangible and “artificial” separation happens between the eyes and ears when we attempt to…
