Positive psychology is the scientific study of human flourishing and optimal functioning. Martin Seligman and Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi are considered founders of the field. Positive psychology studies human strengths like resilience, optimism, and well-being. In contrast to traditional psychology which focuses on illness, positive psychology examines factors that allow individuals and communities to thrive such as positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning and accomplishment.
The document discusses several perspectives on personality and behavior:
- Alfred Adler believed that people are motivated by social influences and a striving for superiority rather than just sex and aggression. He also believed people have significant responsibility for who they become.
- Adler asserted that both genders are capable of "masculine protest" as children but what they protest is shaped by societal expectations of gender roles.
- Horney developed the concept of "basic anxiety" which results from unsatisfied childhood needs for love and affection and a sense of hostility toward parents. She believed this drives the development of protective strategies and neurotic needs in personality.
Carl Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology. Some of his key contributions include the concepts of archetypes, the collective unconscious, complex, and synchronicity. Jung proposed that archetypes are innate universal prototypes for ideas and may be found in myths, religion, and dreams. The collective unconscious consists of structures common to mankind, structured around archetypes. Jung identified 12 primary archetypes representing basic human motivations and personality traits. He also studied the anima/animus archetypes and the self archetype. Jung's work significantly influenced fields such as psychology, philosophy, and religion.

Lessem's book, Self Psychology: An Introduction, created by Luba Rascheff, MDiv Harvard University, for the Psycho-Spiritual Care and Therapy Practicum, Supervised Pastoral Education (SPE Basic II): Integrative Theory and Practice (EMP3551Y), taken in the Winter term of 2020 at the University of Toronto which explains Heinz Kohut's Self Psychology in brief.
Carl Jung believed that the psyche is made up of three levels: the conscious, personal unconscious, and collective unconscious. The conscious plays a minor role, while the personal unconscious contains repressed memories and the collective unconscious is inherited from ancestors. Jung proposed that archetypes like the persona, shadow, anima/animus exist in the collective unconscious and can be revealed through dreams, fantasies, and active imagination. He described personality types based on the attitudes of extraversion/introversion and the functions of thinking/feeling and sensing/intuiting. Jung believed individuals progress through life stages towards self-realization by integrating opposites within themselves.
The document discusses several approaches to understanding abnormal psychology:
- The behavioral approach views abnormality as learned behaviors reinforced by conditioning or social learning.
- The cognitive approach sees faulty thought processes as the root of abnormality.
- The biological approach treats psychological disorders as illnesses caused by biological factors like genetics, biochemistry, or brain structure.
Possible biological causes mentioned include abnormal levels of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, as well as structural brain damage or developmental abnormalities. While brain imaging has provided insights into the neural basis of disorders, diagnosing based on scans alone is difficult due to variation between individuals and overlap across conditions.
Analytical psychology Theories of Personality Carl JungGrace Bran
Carl Jung developed the concepts of the personal unconscious, collective unconscious, and archetypes. The psyche consists of the ego, personal unconscious, and collective unconscious. The collective unconscious contains archetypes - universal themes such as the mother, hero, and self. Jung described personality types as introverted/extraverted with thinking, feeling, sensing, and intuiting functions. His method of analysis included dream analysis, word association tests, and active imagination to understand a patient's unconscious and facilitate self-realization through integrating opposing forces. Critics argue Jung's concepts are difficult to empirically test and some concepts lack clarity due to ambiguity.
George Kelly developed Personal Construct Theory, which views individuals as scientists who develop personal constructs to make sense of and anticipate events. According to Kelly, people interpret events through transparent patterns they create. Constructs are organized in a system and are bipolar in nature. Through experience, people validate or change their constructs. Kelly developed techniques like role therapy to change people's constructs and improve their ability to predict events. He viewed humans as both determined and having free will. Kelly's theory focuses on how people construe themselves and others.

This document discusses case formulation, which involves developing a hypothesis about the factors that cause and maintain a client's problems. It outlines the key components of case formulation using the DSM-5, including the presenting problem, predisposing factors, precipitating factors, perpetuating factors, and protective factors. The document provides an example case formulation for a client named Nasira who is experiencing depression. It analyzes the precipitant, predisposing factors, and perpetuating factors for Nasira based on her history and symptoms. The case formulation would then inform the treatment plan.
Humanistic therapies focus on self-development, growth, and helping individuals recognize their strengths and potential. The humanistic approach developed in response to limitations in behaviorism and psychodynamic theories. Key aspects of humanistic theories include an emphasis on self-actualization as a drive towards fulfilling one's potential, and unconditional positive regard for oneself and from others. The goal of humanistic therapy is to help clients achieve self-realization and promote constructive forces in human nature.
Carl Jung believed that dialogue between the conscious and unconscious mind enriches people. He coined the term "individuation" to describe personal development involving a connection between the ego and self. Jung identified four main psychological functions: thinking, feeling, sensation, and intuition. He also distinguished between introversion and extraversion in people's orientations. Jung proposed a personal unconscious similar to Freud's, as well as a deeper collective unconscious containing innate archetypes shared between all people.
The document discusses schemas and prototypes in social psychology. It defines schemas as mental frameworks that help organize and interpret information. Schemas can be useful but can also lead to stereotypes. Prototypes are cognitive representations that exemplify the essential features of a category. The document provides examples of schemas and prototypes, and discusses how schemas can influence attention, memory, judgments and behavior through assimilation, accommodation and self-fulfilling prophecies. It also notes some problems with overreliance on schemas.
A seminar presentation I'd made for as part of my post-grad psych curriculum. Technically Jung and Alder being here is a problem for some, but it was what the faculty wanted added.
Social cognition refers to how people process and respond to social information. It involves interpreting social cues, analyzing social situations, and remembering social information using mental structures called schemas. Schemas help organize our knowledge about social roles, people, and events. When making judgments with limited time and information, people rely on mental shortcuts called heuristics. However, social cognition is not always rational and can involve errors like unrealistic optimism and counterfactual thinking.
Principles and Ethical Issues of PsychotherapiesBidhan Sarkar
This document summarizes different types of psychotherapies and ethical issues in psychotherapy. It discusses various psychotherapies including cognitive behavioral therapy, behavior therapy, brief psychodynamic therapy, interpersonal therapy, family therapy, couple therapy, dialectic behavior therapy, group therapy, client-centered psychotherapy, gestalt therapy, and brief counseling. It outlines key principles, techniques, and focuses of each psychotherapy. The document also discusses common factors across psychotherapies and important ethical issues to consider in psychotherapy, including beneficence, non-maleficence, fidelity, autonomy, integrity, informed consent, and confidentiality.
The document discusses the history and foundations of positive psychology, which examines how people can become happier by focusing on positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning and achievement. It explores factors that influence happiness such as love, work and personality rather than money or age. The PERMA model is introduced as a framework for improving well-being through intentional activities in each of the five elements of positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning and accomplishment.
The document summarizes Hans Eysenck's P-N-E model of personality, which focuses on three broad personality factors: psychoticism, neuroticism, and extraversion. Neuroticism refers to the tendency to experience negative emotions like anger, jealousy, and frustration when expectations are not met. People who score high on neuroticism often feel anxious, depressed, tense, and have low self-esteem. Biological factors like differences in brain activation and genetics are linked to neuroticism. Neuroticism can be treated with counseling, therapy, relaxation exercises, or medication depending on symptoms and level of discomfort experienced.
Person-centered therapy views humans as inherently trustworthy and capable of self-actualization given the right environment. It emphasizes a non-directive approach and the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist. For change to occur, the therapist must demonstrate congruence, unconditional positive regard, and accurate empathy to create a supportive environment where the client can drive their own growth. While effective for many, it may not suit all cultural backgrounds or individuals preferring a more structured treatment.

Wisdom also means the quality of being a good judgment: I question the wisdom of separating a child from his brothers and sisters whatever the circumstances
Alfred Adler was an Austrian psychiatrist who broke from Freud and developed his own approach called individual psychology. He emphasized seeing people as whole individuals rather than a series of parts. Major contributions included his concepts of style of life, striving for superiority, parental influences on personality development, and birth order effects. Adler believed people are motivated by feelings of inferiority and strive for superiority throughout life. Well-adjusted people express this through social interest and concern for others. Parental pampering or neglect can hinder development and lead to problems. Birth order influences personality, with firstborns more prone to issues and lastborns dependent with inferiority feelings. However, Adler's theories relied heavily on anecdotal evidence and have
Social cognition involves how people process, store, and apply social information. It focuses on cognitive processes in social interactions and how we think about other people. Social cognition involves both automatic and effortful processing of information. Schemas and impression formation also play important roles in social cognition by influencing how we organize, interpret, and judge social information and others. The way we think about others greatly impacts how we interact with the world.
Social cognition involves how people think about themselves and the social world to make judgments and decisions. There are two types of thinking - automatic thinking which is quick and nonconscious, and controlled thinking which is deliberate and effortful. Schemas are mental structures that organize our knowledge about people and events. Schemas are useful but can also lead to biases as they influence what information we attend to and remember. Other cognitive shortcuts like heuristics and priming can also lead to errors in social cognition. Affect and cognition have a reciprocal relationship, as our feelings shape our thoughts and vice versa.
This document provides an overview of the psychology of aggression and violence. It begins with definitions of key terms like aggression, violence, and excitement. It then discusses various classifications and types of aggression, including hostile vs instrumental aggression. The document outlines several models of aggression, including biological, psychological, and social learning theories. It discusses various determinants of aggression including social, environmental, and situational factors. Finally, it proposes several methods for reducing aggression, such as punishment, catharsis, modeling non-aggressive behavior, teaching communication skills, building empathy, and aggression replacement training.
This document provides an overview of personality theories including trait theory, psychodynamic theory, and defense mechanisms. It summarizes Sigmund Freud's psychodynamic theory which proposes that personality is determined by unconscious drives and conflicts between the id, ego, and superego. Freud believed people progress through psychosexual stages from birth to adulthood and that fixation at a stage can influence personality traits. The document also outlines common defense mechanisms used to protect the ego such as denial, repression, and rationalization.
This document discusses defining and categorizing abnormal psychology. It addresses questions about distinguishing normal from abnormal behavior, how abnormal behaviors are classified and diagnosed, and how they can be understood and treated. Key points include defining abnormality based on statistical deviation, personal discomfort, maladaptiveness, or norm violation. Causes of abnormality may be biological like genetics, psychological like traumatic experiences, or sociocultural like problems in relationships. A biopsychosocial perspective recognizes interaction between biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors. The diathesis-stress model proposes people are born with a predisposition that makes them vulnerable to disorders in stressful life situations.
Karen Horney was a German psychoanalyst who developed theories about how social and cultural conditions, especially childhood experiences, shape personality. She believed that people whose needs for love and affection are not satisfied in childhood develop basic anxiety and hostility towards their parents. Horney identified three neurotic strategies people use to cope: moving towards people, moving against people, and moving away from people. She argued that normal individuals flexibly use all three strategies, while neurotics rigidly adhere to just one.
Development of self concept across the life spanSARA ISMAIL
This document discusses the development of self-concept across the lifespan. It covers:
1) How self-understanding develops from infancy through childhood as children learn to recognize themselves and differentiate between inner and outer characteristics.

3) How self-esteem and self-concept evolve from childhood through adulthood as domains of competence are evaluated and contributors like relationships and accomplishments take on varying levels of importance.
4) Key aspects of self-regulation like the ability to control behavior independently, develop across childhood and strategies adjust through adulthood.

3. 1. Why do you want this psychologist assistant job?
Again, companies want to hire people
who are passionate about the job, so you
should have a great answer about why
you want the position. (And if you don't?
You probably should apply elsewhere.)
First, identify a couple of key factors that
make the role a great fit for you (e.g., “I
love customer support because I love the
constant human interaction and the
satisfaction that comes from helping
someone solve a problem"), then share
why you love the company (e.g., “I’ve
always been passionate about education,
and I think you guys are doing great
things, so I want to be a part of it”).

4. 2. What have you learned from mistakes on the psychologist
assistant job?
Candidates without specific examples often
do not seem credible. However, the example
shared should be fairly inconsequential,
unintentional, and a learned lesson should
be gleaned from it. Moving ahead without
group assistance while assigned to a group
project meant to be collaborative is a good
example.

5. 3. What challenges are you looking for in this psychologist
assistant position?
A typical interview question to determine what you
are looking for your in next job, and whether you
would be a good fit for the position being hired for,
is "What challenges are you looking for in a
position?"
The best way to answer questions about the
challenges you are seeking is to discuss how you
would like to be able to effectively utilize your
skills and experience if you were hired for the job.
You can also mention that you are motivated by
challenges, have the ability to effectively meet
challenges, and have the flexibility and skills
necessary to handle a challenging job.
You can continue by describing specific examples
of challenges you have met and goals you have
achieved in the past.

6. 4. Describe a typical work week for psychologist assistant
position?
Interviewers expect a candidate for employment to
discuss what they do while they are working in
detail. Before you answer, consider the position
you are applying for and how your current or past
positions relate to it. The more you can connect
your past experience with the job opening, the
more successful you will be at answering the
questions.
It should be obvious that it's not a good idea talk
about non-work related activities that you do on
company time, but, I've had applicants tell me how
they are often late because they have to drive a
child to school or like to take a long lunch break to
work at the gym.
Keep your answers focused on work and show the
interviewer that you're organized ("The first thing I
do on Monday morning is check my voicemail and
email, then I prioritize my activities for the week.")
and efficient.

7. 5. What is your biggest weakness?
No one likes to answer this question because it
requires a very delicate balance. You simply can’t
lie and say you don’t have one; you can’t trick the
interviewer by offering up a personal weakness
that is really a strength (“Sometimes, I work too
much and don’t maintain a work-life balance.”);
and you shouldn’t be so honest that you throw
yourself under the bus (“I’m not a morning person
so I’m working on getting to the office on time.”)
Think of a small flaw like “I sometimes get
sidetracked by small details”, “I am occasionally
not as patient as I should be with subordinates or
co-workers who do not understand my ideas”, or “I
am still somewhat nervous and uncomfortable with
my public-speaking skills and would like to give
more presentations and talk in front of others or in
meetings.” Add that you are aware of the problem
and you are doing your best to correct it by taking
a course of action.

8. 6. Why should the we hire you as psychologist assistant
position?
This is the part where you link your skills,
experience, education and your personality to the
job itself. This is why you need to be utterly
familiar with the job description as well as the
company culture. Remember though, it’s best to
back them up with actual examples of say, how
you are a good team player.
It is possible that you may not have as much skills,
experience or qualifications as the other
candidates. What then, will set you apart from
the rest? Energy and passion might. People are
attracted to someone who is charismatic, who
show immense amount of energy when they talk,
and who love what it is that they do. As you
explain your compatibility with the job and
company, be sure to portray yourself as that
motivated, confident and energetic person, ever-
ready to commit to the cause of the company.

9. 7. What do you know about our company?
Follow these three easy research tips before your next
job interview:
1) Visit the company website; look in the “about us”
section and “careers” sections
2) Visit the company’s LinkedIn page (note, you must
have a LinkedIn account — its free to sign up) to view
information about the company
3) Google a keyword search phrase like “press releases”
followed by the company name; you’ll find the most
recent news stories shared by the company
Remember, just because you have done your
“homework”, it does not mean you need to share ALL of
it during the interview! Reciting every fact you’ve
learned is almost as much of a turn off as not knowing
anything at all! At a minimum, you should include the
following in your answer:
1. What type of product or service the company sells
2. How long the company has been in business
3. What the company culture is like OR what the
company mission statement is, and how the culture
and/or mission relate to your values or personality

• interviewquestions360.com/free-ebook-top-18-secrets-to-win-every-job-interviews
10. 8. Why do you want to work with us?
More likely than not, the interviewer wishes to see
how much you know about the company culture,
and whether you can identify with the
organization’s values and vision. Every
organization has its strong points, and these are the
ones that you should highlight in your answer. For
example, if the company emphasizes on integrity
with customers, then you mention that you would
like to be in such a team because you yourself
believe in integrity.
It doesn’t have to be a lie. In the case that your
values are not in line with the ones by the
company, ask yourself if you would be happy
working there. If you have no issue with that, go
ahead. But if you are aware of the company culture
and realize that there is some dilemma you might
be facing, you ought to think twice. The best
policy is to be honest with yourself, and be honest
with the interviewer with what is it in the company
culture that motivates you.

11. 9. Did the salary we offer attract you to this psychologist
assistant job?
The interviewer could be asking you this
question for a number of reasons.
Obviously, the salary is an important factor
to your interest in this job, but it should not
be the overriding reason for your interest. A
good answer to this question is, “The salary
was very attractive, but the job itself is what
was most attractive to me.”
Useful materials: • interviewquestions360.com/free-ebook-145-interview-questions-and-answers
• interviewquestions360.com/free-ebook-top-18-secrets-to-win-every-job-interviews
12. 10. Do you have any questions to ask us?
Never ask Salary, perks, leave, place of
posting, etc. regarded questions.
Try to ask more about the company to show
how early you can make a contribution to
your organization like
“Sir, with your kind permission I would like
to know more about induction and
developmental programs?”
OR
Sir, I would like to have my feedback, so that
I can analyze and improve my strengths and
rectify my shortcomings.
