psychology can be traced from ancient Greece, and early philosophers. Early psychology essentially focused on measuring and understanding the mind. I believe the ideas of presentism, historicism, dualism, monism, nativism, empiricism, mechanism, vitalism, rationalism, irrationalism, universalism, and relativism and the approaches to writing history such as, the Zeitgeist approach, great-person approach, and historical development approach are among the most profound concepts contributing to the…

(Hergenhahn & Henley, 2014). Apart from those contributions Helmholtz delved into different psychological questions and placed his view and response into these different psychological questions. These question, generally pertained to mechanism vs. vitalism, empiricism vs. nativism, and the relationship between nonhuman and human animals. Helmholtz used science and different sources of examples to clearly depict his belief on these different topics. Each theorist in the 19th…

Quote 4 Theologically, death is the ultimate indignity. If you have walked with a loved one through the end of life, there is nothing particularly dignified about the dying process. In most cases it is just downright ugly. The dignity in dying comes from how we cope with our deterioration. This is a really good quote and goes with everything that our Christian faith comes from.

The African Unconscious is described as the collective unconscious of the past lives of…

It promises better drugs, less thirsty crops, greener fuels and even a rejuvenated chemical industry. Synthetic biology can help fight climate change and pollution. It has the potential to reduce the dependence on oil and to address climate change. Developed microbes would produce oil, giving a renewable fuel that could be used interchangeably with gasoline without…

quote mentions that we are not required to do everything to keep people alive. It is so powerful, because as much as we would like to fight until death takes its toll, sometimes we need to cherish the moments before death. We need to forget about vitalism and enjoy life as it is. We are so wrapped up in the medical help that the world has to offer, but in the end, we have to think about what is most…

Introduction It is voluntarily and in consensus agreed by all Psychotherapists that case formulation skills are fundamental to providing effective treatment, particularly for difficult-to-treat patients with co morbid mental disorders. As Sperry et al. reflected this agreement in noting that “the ability to conceptualize and write succinct case formulations is considered basic to daily clinical practice” (p. vii). Some have even argued that the advent of managed care and time-limited…
