Play Therapy And Toddlers
[ send me this essay ]
7 pages in length. Raising a child is likely the most difficult challenge any adult will ever face. With no prior training and often faced with seemingly insurmountable circumstances, adults many times learn right along with their children about the rights and wrongs of parenting. Even the most accomplished parents are not exempt from making mistakes that will take root within a child's psyche and unwittingly program him for certain difficulties later in life; when this occurs, psychological therapy is often sought as a means by which to deprogram such imbedded characteristics. Toddlers, however, present an even greater challenge with regard to unmasking issues that cause introspective or antisocial behavior; in these cases, play therapy is employed so that the child can be free to express himself in the natural state of release that children innately understand. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Positive Thinking: Increases Happiness
[ send me this essay ]
35 pages in length. The struggle between positive and negative forces is a challenge that has besieged mankind since he first came to be upon this planet. The dichotomy of this duality that lives inside the deepest recesses of the human psyche is considered by some to be wholly out of the realm of any control, inasmuch as people have an intrinsic predisposition toward negativity and unhappiness. By contrast, however, are those who argue that man is in complete control of the manner by which he perceives - and thereby responds to - negative stimulus, with those who are more spiritually evolved possessing the greater opportunity for cultivating positive thinking and the happiness that accompanies it. In short, positive thinking has a great influence among people and helps increase their happiness. Bibliography lists 28 sources.
