1. How do you understand Julia’s anxiety and concerns about assertiveness from a person- or client-centered perspective? Use the concepts of organismic valuing process (OVP), incongruence, and conditions of worth (COW) in your answer.
a. From a person-or client-centered perspective, one would postulate that Julia’s anxiety and concerns about assertiveness stems from her value and wish to be assertive but not actually being assertive. This can be further understood through Organismic valuing process which explains that a person innate ability to know what is important to them and what they need for a more fulfilling life.

The real self is who we actually are, it encompasses how we perceive and think of ourselves. Julia’s real self is someone who struggles with expressing her feelings and disapproval of certain situations and behaviors. She has difficulty in standing up for herself and being authoritative. This is evident in her relationship with her husband and her volunteer work with the church. For instance, she does not tell her husband that she is bothered by the fact he does not contribute to their marriage and places the entire burden of their marriage on her. She is dissatisfied with his messy and late behavior. Julia also has trouble saying NO when she is given more responsibility at her volunteer work than she can handle. The ideal self is how we want to be as an individual, this image is based on what we have learned and experienced over time. Julia’s idealized image of herself is someone who is more assertive and confident. She is not afraid or hesitant to say what she wants and needs out of her relationships and life. Her ideal self is someone she w

I think humanistic therapy would be a useful approach to use with Julia, however, it has some limitation and should be combined with psychodynamic therapy approach. Humanistic therapy would increase Julia’s self-worth and also reduce the level of incongruence between her ideal and real self. However, humanistic therapy focuses on a here and now approach. It stated in the scenario that when Julia was a child her mother would belittle her whenever something bothered her causing her to do everything herself and never complain. Part of psychodynamic therapy explains that our past, specifically our experiences during childhood significantly influences our present behavior. Julia might not be consciously aware that her experiences with her mother as a child might be manifesting in her present relationships and behavior. Psychodynamic therapy might help her come to this
As you walk down the street, you see posters and billboards surrounding that one person you think you may want to be. In a society that is filled to the brim with persuasion and propaganda, it is common that people forget who they are and become someone else. The desire of popularity causes misconceptions and a sense of self that is not sure of itself, leading to the question “Who am I?” Being yourself can come easier than you think just by recognizing that it is you. Not by being someone you see on the billboard, your friends, or who you see on television. Yourself is who you really are. In the story “Two Kinds” by Amy Tan, conflict between a mother and daughter causes identity and individualistic problems. A mother tries to relive her life through her daughter by pushing her to do things she may not be capable of doing. The mother believes that her daughter will have it all in America: success, fame, and wealth. The daughter loses herself and identity by focusing on becoming the person her
Nursing 231 has helped me grow academically and it has also helped me become more confident in myself. Prior to 231 I had little confident in myself due to my test grades. My grades have not improved nor have they gotten worse, but I now have a different mindset. I have realized that I am a bad test taker and that is what I need to improve. However, I am an excellent nursing student and I will soon become an excellent nurse. I have learned that I should not let a C average discourage me because that does not reflect on the type of nurse I will be.
To begin the analysis of the self, one first has to define what is the self, and it's relationship to the "me"? In the section Discovering The Nature of Our Human Self The Biblical Judaic Christian view of man is introduced as expressed in the King James Version of the Bible. This view of the self is a dualistic view that is caught between the divine and the material worlds (King James 40). The book introduces three chapters from the Judaic Christian view that frames what has commonly become the...

Jo disclosed that she was now eating more than before. Education that this was being used as a coping method was given. Validation was given that she found a coping skill, followed by education that she would need to learn some new ones so that we could change the unwanted behavior. Information was provided that it will take time, but the more replacement skills we learn, the greater success she could achieve. Handouts were provided for coping strategies. Inquiries into the journal were made. Sheepishly, Jo said that she had been writing in it, but she didn’t really know what to write. Acknowledgment was given in attempting the task and a recommendation that when she felt a powerful emotion to pay attention to it and write about what emotion it was or draw an image that comes to mind. An emotion wheel was provided for her to take home and practiced using it to increase her understanding of how she felt. Coming to the conclusion of session Jo was asked if she felt safe and supported. She replied that she did. Encouragement and self-care were reinforced and validation of her courage and dedication to work through the abuse she endured. During the session, Jo appeared to want to stay on the surface level dealing
...d again delve into her own emotions, using my words to help her identify how she may be feeling, my client can put a name to what she is actually experiencing. While it may seem obvious to the listener, when under stress, people may not know what they are feeling, or how to deal with it. Self-confidence is built when a listener allows that person to find out for themselves how to proceed (Petersen, 2007).
The main idea behind this approach is to understand how the ego can adapt to exterior influences while maintaining interior desires (Whitbourne & Whitbourne, 2011, p. 168). Actress Uta Hegan grew up in the arts and has always had a passion for theatre (Terkel, 2013, p. 161). Uta’s ego has played a central role in directing her behavior. Through her work in theatre, she has maintained a positive self-esteem and sense of self-worth despite being told that acting for a living is not considered working (Terkel, 2013, p. 163). She was able to adapt to exterior influences by maintaining an enthusiastic attitude, while managing her interior desires of succeeding as an actress. In addition, Uta has continued to experience personality development throughout her adult life. One example she refers to is that over a five-year period, she changed her attitude about those younger than her. She originally thought of the younger generation as lazy and slob-like, however, teaching them in a classroom setting helped to change her mind (Terkel, 2013, p. 167). Being 75 years old at the time of publication, Uta is ideal example of an individual who has continued to develop throughout her adult life, while maintaining a solid sense of
One must have the full desire to help and care for people in order to have an enjoyable career as a nurse. Nurses are known for the care and compassion shown to the patients and this is comforting for both patients and their families. Caring for a patient can raise their spirits and can inspire a better outlook on their situation. As a nurse, I want to care for all my patients with the hope of improving their health and outlook on their life. I chose Jean Watson because she understands that caring is the core of nursing and believes caring promotes a better health than only performing medical care. She was the first grand theorist that focused on the aspect of caring for the patient while also caring for yourself as the nurse. Watson’s theory
The Blake’s have the issue of determining how they are going to save for retirement while still helping pay for their children’s college education and Fran’s mother’s care. The need to secure the future (security during old age), especially in the situation of limited economic activity, is one of the basic human needs (Szczudlinska-Kanos & Peter-Bombik, 2016). While making sure that their children are able to afford college and assisting Fran’s mother are both important, ensuring that they have sufficient income after retirement takes priority.

During my shift, I had good communication with patients and the RN who I worked with. I applied assertive communication technique by remaining calm and confident, taking charge and responsibility, respecting self and others, expressing self, and standing up for nursing principles. One example of the manifestation of asserting communication technique was my insistence on logging out of the patient e-MAR portal every time I leave the computer. The Nurse was frustrated with me why I log out every time and forcing her to log me in again and again. I calmly and openly discussed with her the importance of maintaining patient confidentiality by logging out every time after accomplishing the required task for a patient in the e-MAR portal. The nurse
