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. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

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.
