		<description><![CDATA[What is really out there? Why do we think that we think? This article explores some of the classic works on the topic.

Ross and Nisbett argue that our perceptions of ourselves and our casual attributions for our actions are not in fact complete or correct: we are not born tabla rasa, we do not consistently build basic beliefs, and we cannot predict or control the way we will act. Phychologists and sociologists provide support for this through numerous studies that show a basically consistent, unpredicted, and unsystematic patterns of behavior. Some authors begin by breaking down the idea that our opinions or reactions are as independent and systematic as we may believe.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Squaring circles emotionally is a challenge anyway but truthfully, do we know what we are really feel and what we are don't? Are we certain that we know exactly what in our partner really turns us on and what does not? More, do we know why we react as we do with our partner - or don't, or why they respond to us as they do - or don't? We see the evidence of it but not the cause. So what does cause it?

Is it odd to reflect that two people can react to one another in a particular way and they can love each other for it? Yet they can be totally unaware of it as a behaviour, or, if they are aware, can believe it to be perfectly normal. Meanwhile others witnessing them cannot and do not want to emulate it, finding the behaviour unusual.

There can be any number of behaviours performed by ourselves of which we are totally unaware, their causes residing deep in our subconscious.]]></description>

Who told me to open my big mouth? I had already presented at two conferences early this year, a workshop on that very day and this time around I had been earmarked as one of the main presenters. The conference theme was 'Intergenerational trauma'.

I began by sharing something about my background as a black mixed heritage African Caribbean and Jewish woman.]]></description>

Particularly when we find we can try and fail so easily! Isn't that an annoying feature of Life for the rest of us? Aren't there some tricks or rules which can help solve this human predicament?

Oh! How our feelings so easily betray us. For no sooner than we establish an idea about our 'feelings', then the mountain slide of doubt, confusion and resistance begins. Making it necessary to reestablish the excitement attached to the sublime feelings in the first place; Unwarranted thoughts create the need to continually feed the bull dog his bone of the continual absorbing elevated important sense of worth (desire).

We so value the state of our feelings, we will subject ourselves to countless scenarios in order to evoke certain feelings.]]></description>

We none know what we are doing.

		<description><![CDATA[Introduction

Psychology, the scientific discipline of the study of human and animal behavior, is a young science. Prior to the late 19th century, the study of "mind" was a discipline practiced as a philosophical or spiritual endeavor. Because Psychology is a new science, we should expect a continuing evolution of psychological theory as well as tweaking and revision of existing theories.

A Brief History of Psychology

In 1879, German physiologist Wilhelm Wundt used the laboratory setting to perform psychological experiments.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Enneagram is a geometric symbol that maps nine basic personality types as well as the very complex interrelationships between those types. This personality assessment system is widely used by therapists, theologians and human resource management specialists. It is unique among the personality assessments systems available because it includes both the psychological and the spiritual aspects of the individual.

Everyone is a mix of these Ennea-types, although one type, in particular, is your "home base" or the best description of your personality as a whole.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Often, when people talk about introverts and extraverts, they think in terms of whether people enjoy social interactions. In fact, the true definitions of introversion and extraversion have to do with where a person finds meaning - and for this reason, knowing which you are can help you make life decisions that leave you happier and more fulfilled.

I was surfing the web the other day and came across a site that defined introverts as people who do not enjoy social situations and who are more comfortable alone. Now, if the author had prefaced the word 'introvert' with the word 'social', then you wouldn't be reading this article because I wouldn't have written it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Profiling is a science of observation, study and exploitation of traces of a crime scene, a person, or an animal to determine the relevance of such traces to an investigated crime, event or personality and behavior in general.

Anthropological and Psychological profiling

Profiling consists of several major types:

Cultural profiling

Racial profiling

Predictive profiling

Forensic information technology

Drug profiling

Offender profiling

Digital image forensic

DNA profiling

Performance profiling

The information obtained from profiling is known as forensic, such information is widely relied upon by judiciary systems, such as courts, and police enforcement agencies to determine what happens in a crime scene and help in assumption of criminal behavior.

However, such information is not restricted to the use of such bodies, but rather extends to assisting observers to broaden the comprehension of studied cases or individuals when applied by intelligence agencies or any security related bodies.

Profiling and forensic profiling is used in all fields of studies and not only humans, in fact, this science is developing and advancing very rapidly despite scientific criticism to its viable application.

Generally, forensic profiling refers to the profiling practices of discovering the correlation between acquired data related to studied subject or case as an identifying process and a categorization of groups and data acquired, such as nominal data (persons or objects and their relation due to an investigation) and crime data which is physical tracks of criminal activities on crime scenes be it a witness, a laptop or a mobile phone...

The most commonly used profiling techniques are data mining techniques, such as generating profiles based upon discovered data and the relevance of its patterns.

The four phases of profiling (Gregg O McCrary):

-   Antecedent: The murderer's plan, fantasy and drive prior to committing the crime.

-   Method and manner: type of selected victims and method used to commit the crime.

-   Body disposal: If the murder and the body disposal took place at one or, multiple scenes.

-   Post offense behavior: if the murderer tries to publicize himself by reaching the media or contacting investigators.

Profiling is based on common sense, yet its applied measures varies from culture to culture and race to race, it is an advanced investigative tool while its effectiveness is still under a lot of scientific scrutiny since it is mostly a speculative art still. An Indian would shake his head from left to right in an affirmative gesture or expression, while a Caucasian by doing so would indicate to a denial gesture or expression, an owl in the Middle East is looked upon as a bad omen, while in the west it symbolizes wisdom, and so on...

Profiling relates behavioral science and relies on observation and analysis.

It is accepted that the evolution of human racial and physical features generates from their inherited behavior due to a specific environment and way of adaptation. Lets take for instance an African negroid thick lips evolved due to an adapting process to help preserve moisture, an aborigine of Australia or Papua New Guinea developed thick eye browse to protect his eyes from sun rays, a Bedouin desert folk did so with a larger or longer nose to help him breath better in desert climate, and women living in hot and humid terrains tend to have a larger buttocks to preserve body fat etc...

Therefore; profiling relies heavily on the understanding of the subject cultural and ethical background, and that in itself is based upon relative measures and speculations.

Though profiling is regarded to be a part of science, yet a successful profiler needs to be very talented if he is to produce an effective and accurate profiling.

Profiling goes back in history to the middle ages, and Scotland Yard took it a step further, while Sherlock Holmes character made it even more popular, then there is the CSI series of late filling the rest of the empty cup of the thirsty TV shows viewers.

Remember; we apply our own spontaneous profiling in daily life by what we interpret and perceive from the body language that we use from one another.

Till the next article, may you have the best personality profile!

		<description><![CDATA[People have deeply held assumptions about how marriage is supposed to work and, while some of those assumptions are helpful, many of them are so harmful, I call them "toxic." Toxic assumptions about relationships is one of the central reasons that many people today are unable to stay married for life.

It's important that we take an inventory what toxic assumptions we hold about relationships. For example, one of the most common is that to make a relationship satisfying "Enough love will take care of everything." Infinite numbers of people who want to be married and who actually commit to it are shackled in misery by this toxic assumption. For many, it has been the cause of relentless anguish.

Think about from whom you modeled your relationship behavior.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The American Psychological Association has removed the narcissistic personality disorder from the DSM manual. There have been commentators at New York Times claiming it to have been a mistake. In fact, that is one of the most intelligent decisions that American Psychological Association has made in decades.

The reasons are, and should be, obvious to anyone who bears any familiarity with history.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the need for an individualistic educational psychology emphasizing on the central role of the learner

Education and psychology are related in more than just one way and the psychology of education could be related to educational principles in psychology or how education as a discipline is taught within psychology as a subject and how these two disciplines merge. This is primarily the focus of educational psychology which studies how human learning occurs, what ways of teaching are most effective, what different methods should be used to teach gifted or disabled children and how principles of psychology could help in the study of schools as social systems.

Psychological education would be completely focused on learning methods as structured or imparted according to psychological and individual needs of the students. Education would differ according to culture, values, attitudes, social systems, mindset and all these factors are important in the study of education in psychology.

Educational psychology is the application of psychological objectives within educational systems and psychological education as I distinguish here is application of educational objectives in psychological processes.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Each of us comes to find in time how complex are the factors that are not only involved in our physical health but that total well being requires a comfortable state on every level, physical, psychological and spiritual.

In discovery of the different and sometimes opposing ingredients in the recipe of our unique personality we become aware that to harmonize all these qualities is not going to be as easy as we would like. Yet it is to harmonize and blend them in our personality is our common task if we are to be able to live in tune with our deeper nature or soul.

It would seem that the utilization and expression of the individual elements in our character is directed by our free will and it would be good to believe this simple attitude is all that is involved.

However, we all experience inner conflicts through contrary impulses with one part of our nature pressing for one thing and another driving us in an opposite path. This forces us to make conscious and deliberate choices of free will.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Definitional traps and word games in debate; are they just, should they be used in negotiation? Lawyers often debate definitions, and they debate the definition of a law. They do this in the best interests of their clients who pay them money, if that definition doesn't suit them, they look for case law which does, and then they look at evenly applied enforcement to see if that fits or if there are problems there which they can use in their argument, that is if they can't win a victory on the other points.

That's all well and good, because all is fair in love, war, and apparently law.

But this doesn't necessarily make it correct or right to use word games when debating online, by e-mail, or even with friends at a coffee shop. Not long ago, I was reading the blog of an acquaintance who explained how he used the word games to debate his points of view, in a competitive way against his opponent's points of view on things such as religion, politics, homosexuality, immigration, asylum law, and other topics that interested him.

His strategy was very pretty cut and dry.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What makes one human being brutalize another human being under the guise or rule of law? Lord Acton in 1887 wrote a letter to Bishop Mandell Creighton and said "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Is this part of the answer?

Those who have studies excessive use of force have identified 6 conditions that make an organization ripe for loss of discipline and control of employees.

1.	Weak or absent leadership2.	Seeing others as less than human3.	Lack of discipline and training4.	Not having oversight by an outside entity. Secrecy.5.	Being exposed to brutality6.	Being part of a group with similar beliefs about the legitimacy of using violence in certain situations as a means to an end.

Let's evaluate some well known situations.

Mei Lai Massacre. March 16, 1968, in the time span of about 20 minutes, 347 to 504 South Vietnamese citizens were murdered by 60-70 US soldiers in the village of Mei Lai.]]></description>

It can represent the wisdom that tells us of Nature's secret in survival, whether applied to the evidence of the bamboo and the flexible plants that allow the winds to give them strength in time, or to the human compliance that allows a superior result in situations and relationships, or the strong action of an army general in warfare.

In the cultivation of upright, healthy plants we observe the wisdom of a gardener who understands the need to balance strength and flexibility. In philosophizing, the clear example of the need for yielding for life preservation to avoid the brittleness that can break, is a popular one.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Abstract:

Many psychologists and theorists argue strongly for a model of a child's developmental growth and character to a simple idea of parental influence (Freud 1900/Berne 1960) and social modelling by imitation (Bandura 1980). However in this paper I would like to explore the influence of cinema on how leading actors in film can have a huge influence over not only how society sees itself but how individuals can model certain aspects of screen persona to guide and influence their own lives.

Introduction:

		<description><![CDATA[Brief strategic therapy is an innovative approach to solving all major psychopathologies in a short time, thus with high levels of efficiency and efficacy.

This approach derives, on a theoretical level, from systemic-constructivist theories, with the refusal of any kind of indisputable "truth": there isn't just one reality but rather there are many realities depending on the adopted view points or on the instruments used to observe reality, thus defining a shift from a focus on the person's intrapsychic activity to the person's relational aspects.

The theory of the brief strategic approach is also influenced by the concept of feedback and circular causality of modern cybernetics, and by the ideas of authors like Heinz von Foerster and Ernst von Glasersfeld. Radical constructivism is a philosophical current of thought which has developed during the second half of the 1900's. It states the impossibility to pursue an objective representation of reality because the reality we live, the reality we experience, is the result of our own acts of creating.

All those characteristics we believed intrinsic to " things" are now to be seen as characteristics that belong to the observer: reality cannot be considered as something "objective" because it is constructed by the cognitive processes of the individual who experiences it.]]></description>

They know when the suspect is being dishonest, and the truth seldom waits for breakfast. (=Cold porridge and sugarless gnat's tea - or so they tell me.)

		<description><![CDATA[The materialistic world despises the meaning of dreams, while psychologists and psychiatrists disagree one with the other.

I was a neurotic artist who had a great literary talent, but who had abandoned literature, when I understood that I was neurotic, and I started seriously caring about the meaning of my dreams, in search of psychotherapy.

I always had the fear of becoming schizophrenic like my father. I wanted to prevent this tragic end, and I was right, because there was too much absurdity in my anti-conscience (the wild side of the human conscience).

The first time I cared about the meaning of dreams was in 1979, when I read Freud's book about dream interpretation loaning it from Pacific Beach's Library. I had seen a very strange dream before travelling to California.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When people talk about a person's 'intelligence' it is not generally clear what underlying ability or abilities this term refers to. This article is intended to clarify in layman's terms what psychologists and brain scientists can mean by intelligence. Basically, there are two good theories--and scientists are divided on which is the best theory--and one bad one which all scientists I know of reject.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The word psychology is derived from the Greek word psyche which means 'soul' or 'mind' and logia meaning "Study of". Psychology is applied in studying the human mind and behavior. Research in psychology is used to understand and explain thought, emotion, and behavior.

		<description><![CDATA[Over the past 11 years, the field of psychology has been on a new mission, one of identifying, researching and teaching the skills that lead to well-being and resilience. Called "Positive Psychology," it's a rapidly growing branch of scientific psychology that studies the strengths and virtues that enable individuals and communities to thrive.

In 1998, Martin Seligman of the University of Pennsylvania was elected President of the American Psychological Association (APA). At the time, Dr.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are almost completely unaware of the evolution of psychic function. We believe that people of ancient times were exactly like us, as if conscious human nature was born, like Paul Bunyan, in it's present form, without any need for psychic leaps of understanding-perhaps most of which haven't happened yet. Whether as archeologists, historians, sociologists, or anyone studying ancient times, we draw conclusions about motive and state of mind based upon present-time human consciousness, assuming that psychically we always have been like we are today, and always will be exactly the same.

Indeed the entity least studied on planet Earth is human nature.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In many organizations with a strong hierarchical culture, we place a premium on the deep insights and reflective learning of our most senior leaders. In these organizations it makes a lot of sense in conventional times to value their insights above all others.

It would be normal in this kind of organization when faced with a challenge or problem, for the leader to think deeply and reflect upon his experience and come up with a design for a strategy that will lead the organization to success.

This kind of leader would typically assemble his staff and asked them specific questions for information he believed he would need in order to made the best decision possible. His staff would normally then go out to find the answers to these few questions and report back quickly with the required information.

Receiving the required information, the leader would then integrate these into his plan and produce the final solution and the organization would proceed into the execution phase of operations.

Under conditions of uncertainty however, the strategy for information gathering is not sufficient area when the world is so dynamic that the long and colorful history of the leader no longer applies to the uncertain future, then his deep insights actually are harmful to the cause.

Senior leaders in conditions of uncertainty must therefore actively encourage their staff to provide their deep insights which are developed from a close working relationship with the world.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Psychology has been defined as "The science of the mind, or mental states and processes; the science of human nature..." Our Western psychology is a relatively recent science which, although valuable in basic matters regarding behaviour, personality and the general function of the mind, in no way claims knowledge of, or allows for the existence, let alone the study of the soul and spirit of the human being. It has made great advances in the study of human behaviour and mental diseases but has not found answers enough to cope with the mental aberrations which torment society and which, regrettably, are on the increase.

Many of these abnormal conditions of mental disease in the community have been created by drugs of all kinds, chemical pollutants, alcohol and unhealthy nutrition to which there is no answer but by rectification of these negative habits and conditions.

In this regard the Yogic approach offers some assistance. It concentrates upon the individual building and maintaining a healthy body and brain through a healthy lifestyle.]]></description>
