Investigating Advice on Communication Between Couples
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper comparing the theories of 5 self-help relationship books to the findings of current communications research reports. There are very good self-help books available discussing the male-female romantic relationship, but the reader does indeed need to be aware of the discrepancies of many of them with both current communications research findings and common sense. With the exception of Gray, every one of the problems discussed in both the books and the communications journal articles referenced for this paper has as its base a lack of honesty on the part of at least one, and normally both involved players. Whether that lack of honesty is intentional or not, it nevertheless is there and blocks the path of any true and lasting relationship. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Irvin D. Yalom's "Every Day Gets A Little Closer : A Twice-Told Therapy": Unethical Behavior Between Therapist And Client
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. An issue of great concern to the counseling field is that of the patient/therapist relationship. Such issues as dual-relationships, sexual behavior and bartering for services are just a handful of considerations to make when examining the unethical behavior found in Irvin D. Yalom's "Every Day Gets A Little Closer," where two decidedly distinctive accounts of the same therapeutic process is provided – one by the therapist and the other by the patient. Indeed, the variance that exists between these two reports is enlightening enough on their own accord, however, when one delves deeper into the specific elements that ultimately comprised this experience, it becomes quite clear that ethics comes into question.

Jay Haley: Spoofing Psychoanalysis, Subtly Commending It Or Both?
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. Jay Haley's The Art of Psychoanalysis seeks to define the duality of in-depth psychology by capturing its all-important contribution to a mentally balanced society along with its somewhat manipulative tendencies. That Freud's famed couch approach represents an obvious attempt to maneuver the patient/doctor relationship speaks to the underlying -- and often undetectable -- controlling aspects of psychoanalysis to which Haley pokes fun.

Key Ethical Issues in Marital and Family Therapy
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. In defining the role that ethics plays in family and marital psychotherapy, one must view the psychoanalysis program as a whole in order to determine what should and should not be expected of a counselor. Maintaining an impeccable ethical standard is of the utmost importance in the family and marital counselor's role. The problem in not maintaining a high standard of ethics lies not only in the fact a counselor might lose one's license, but the fact that unethical treatment could do irreparable damage to the client as well. For this reason this paper will consider what the three key ethical problems might be that are specific to the practice of marital and family therapy. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Love Is Never Enough, Or Is It?
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper discussing the book by Aaron T. Beck entitled, Love is Never Enough. This book is based a cognitive therapy approach to marriage counseling. Beck offers many constructive ideas and exercises for the couple who wish to more fully understand each other while ceasing to bring in their negative, and pointless, emotions into the relationship. While this book may apply to many people, if not all people in some way, it is presumptuous to assume that love is 'never enough.'

[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page review of the injustices associated with the mental health arena as presented by Sue Estroff. Estroff approaches her subject from the eyes of the patient in the institutional setting and because of this she illuminates many aspects of the interaction between the mental health patient, mainstream society, and the mental health profession which are not typically explored in the professional literature. Asserts that the mentally ill are discriminated against in this country by both the general public and mental health professionals. Draws parallels between the scenarios which unfold in "Making It Crazy: An Ethnography of Psychiatric Clients in an American Community" and the popular fictional film "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". Concludes that patients, mental health professionals and the general public share in the many wrongs which are apparent in the mental health arena and that will only be through the cooperation of each that the injustices which Estroff is so adept at illustrating will be righted.
