Personality and Relationships
Most of us are allured by the attractive notion that effortless relationships exist. Whether it be happily-ever-after marriages, or friendships that last forever, or parent/child bonds which supercede the need to understand each other, we'd all like to believe that our most intimate relationships are unconditional, and strong enough to withstand whatever may come. However, at some point in our lives most of us need to face the fact that relationships require effort to keep them strong and positive, and that even wonderful, strong relationships can be destroyed by neglect. Whether you're looking to improve a love relationship, familial relationships, friendships, or employer/employee relationships, understanding your own personality type and the personality type of the other person involved in the relationship will bring a new dynamic to the situation, which will allow better understanding and communication. The same cannot be said for other kinds of relationships.

Swarm Theory
I used to think ants knew what they were doing. The ones marching across my kitchen counter looked so confident, I just figured they had a plan, knew where they were going and what needed to be done. How else could ants organize highways, build elaborate nests, stage epic raids, and do all the other things ants do? Turns out I was wrong. How do we explain, then, the success of Earth's 12,000 or so known ant species? "Ants aren't smart," Gordon says. Where this intelligence comes from raises a fundamental question in nature: How do the simple actions of individuals add up to the complex behavior of a group? One key to an ant colony, for example, is that no one's in charge.

Teaching Clinical Psychology - In-Class Exercises
In-Class Exercises These exercises can be conducted in one class period - one hour or less. I've divided the exercises into the categories below, although the categories overlap. Psychotherapy and Counseling Secrets and resistance in psychotherapy What's it like to reveal personal information about yourself in psychotherapy. An Intake Interview Give students a crack at conducting an intake interview with a psychiatric patient. Self-Insight Many of these exercises also apply to psychotherapy and counseling in that they involve processes of insight and self-exploration that are similar to those occurring in psychotherapy. Abnormality and Health Shades of Abnormality How severe is a person's mental illness? Group Dynamics These activities involve group interactions and/or role plays, and therefore shed light on group dynamics. General Techniques These activities are either "general purpose," or are flexible tools that can be applied in a variety of ways.
The Jung Lexicon by Jungian analyst, Daryl Sharp, Toronto
A Primer of Terms & Concepts Copyright ©1991 Daryl Sharp All rights reserved. Preface C. G. Jung died in 1961, without ever having presented a systematic summary of his psychology. Jung Lexicon takes the reader to the source. Jung Lexicon is not a critique or a defence of Jung's thoughts, but a guide to its richness and an illustration of the broad scope and interrelationship of his interests. Notes on Usage A word that appears in bold type under a main heading directs the reader to another entry. The designation CW in the citations refers to the twenty volumes of Jung's Collected Works. Abaissement du niveau mental. It is a slackening of the tensity of consciousness, which might be compared to a low barometric reading, presaging bad weather. Abreaction. After some initial interest in "trauma theory," Jung abandoned abreaction (together with suggestion) as an effective tool in the therapy of neurosis. Abstraction. Active imagination. Adaptation. Affect. Ambivalence. Amplification. Anima.
