THE DEITY AND HUMANITY OF CHRIST

Introduction: A Theological Mystery That Jesus Christ is God and, in the same time, man is an idea many people do not believe in. To some, Christ is just a normal man, who became a great religious leader of Judaism and Christianity. For instance, the heresy of Iconoclasm that started during the Byzantine Empire taught that Christ the God could not depicted, and that the pictures of Christ can only show Jesus the man and so were not suitable objects for faith and worship.

As early as Biblical times, dreams have been given a special place; in ancient Egypt, Joseph’s interpretation of pharaoh’s dreams had awarded him an honorary place among his advisors, and was said to have saved Egypt from starvation. Working with dreams in therapy implies a belief that that dreams are meaningful and provide added value to the therapeutic process. Studies have shown that dreams can be influenced by a certain psychopathology, and that their content and patterns (e.g. recurring dreams, nightmares) reflect a person’s wellbeing (Pesant & Zadra, 2004).

Analysis of counselling session

Analysis of counselling session

Introduction

Countertransference usually happens when someone says something to a person because they may have possibly triggered something from their past and their response to the person may triggers something back towards them (Gelso, 1995). So the person is now "counter" transferring it back to them - "basically returning" the transference feelings back to the other individual. The counselor interest in this subject derives from my own preference to use (or be used by) the transference process in the work. It likewise comes from the counselor’s personal experience of being on the receiving end of what ...

In order to resolve some of these cases, forensic examination is necessary. The premise behind the use of forensic examination is that it is the ...

In the last century, psychoanalysis has incorporated itself as one of the paramount disciplines within the field of psychiatry. The father of psychoanalysis is unequivocally Sigmund Freud; and while the science of psychoanalysis has advanced far beyond Freud, and his basic principles, his influence is still strong and pervasive. Freud’s basic principles are central in the practice of psychiatry and in psychotherapeutic practice; namely, psychic determination, unconscious mental activity, and the effects on childhood on the development of our adult psyche (Semple, Smyth, Burns, Darjee, & McIntosh, 2005). Freud also focused on the role of meaning in his vision ...

The youtube video found on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oS_L8efaJ-E is called “Psychoanalytic Therapy Session” and is produced by Dr. Glenn Gabbard in 1988.

The movie is oriented in psychodynamic theory that was originally put together by Freud. The movie clearly showed free association with the patient laid out on the sofa and the therapist just encouraging him to relate anything, from which we ...

Introduction

Every problem operates at two levels; peripheral level - it’s visible outward appearance and root level - its clandestine originating point, which usually is hidden from one’s normal vision. Successful solution lies in attacking the root-cause to shut down the oxygen supply, rather than the periphery, since the latter is often a catastrophic off-shoot of the former, if left unattended. That’s why as children, beyond a point, our parents often stop always surrendering to our demands for expensive toys, as a solution to our post-rejection tantrums that annoy them, and instead personally counsel us to instill reasoning about the ...

He has others which he would not reveal even to his friends, but only to himself, and that in secret.

Sigmund Freud and Erik Erikson are two fundamental basics of discussion, research, and theory when discussing child development and psychology. Before Freud came to the United States, ‘talk therapy’ was not even something that was used here, but was becoming popular in Europe. This concept was fought as a controversial technique in the United States, but Freud was determined, and it is now the basic and most common type of therapy in psychiatry today. Erikson focused more on child development, which is a growing field of research today. Children are not merely little adults, but function in a very different way. ...

In today’s consumerist culture, having the most things equates to social and cultural success – many people measure their self-worth and happiness by what they have instead of who they are (Cowen, 2009). At first, we seek to own things as a result of necessity – we primarily seek the things that we require in order to survive and thrive. Once those basic needs are met, however, we look toward amenities, and our major criteria for what we want to get is what the others around us have. When someone has something very expensive, and is clearly enjoying it, it is a ...
