Someone in Your Life Probably Has a Personality Disorder - It might be your spouse, your parent, your co-worker...even your child. Chances are, someone with a significant role in your life has a personality disorder. Dr Carver’s new guide to personality disorders in relationships puts the reality in plain English; more than just a list of diagnostic criteria, this explanation describes what it’s really like and offers tips for victims. Positive Affirmations for Breakfast? - The "Motiwake Personal Development Alarm Clock" awakens you with positive affirmations to programme you for the day. Many people use their own "Demotiwake Personal Alarm Clocks" instead. Isn't it a better idea just to drop the programmes and relax? Provocative Therapy: Kill or Cure! - Provocative Therapy turns all accepted wisdom about therapy on its head.

Negative Thoughts: Is Life a Battle? - I'm quite a sucker for "how to" posts about positive thinking. But sometimes the underlying tone seems more aggressive than positive. I don't have a problem with being a winner in a genuinely competitive situation, but I don't see my life as a war, either with myself or with the rest of the world! It seems that conscious choice and the exercising of responsibility are good for us -- physically, psychologically, and even, according to new research, morally. Apparently, those who have a strong belief in their own power and influence over events are less likely to cheat, lie and steal. Self-Help is a massive and growing industry. Are these books really selling the secrets to happiness, thinness and wealth? Or are they making profits from the comforting illusion that these things are really for sale? More on the Counsellor?s Creed: Setting Goals - One of Carl Rogers' most important contributions to counselling theory and practice was to give up the idea of having goals, and be open to following whatever direction the client might uncover, wherever it might lead. What about Item 4, then: "It is important to discuss your goals with you. What brought you here? What do you hope to achieve?" |
