The Role of Emotion-Focused Psychotherapy

Carmen Hurduc (Zalum) — Wed, 03 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a experiential psychotherapy, integrative,
transdiagnostic, humanistic, evidence-based therapy, that has proven effective in treating a wide range
of problems and client populations. In this article I will present theories of emotion-centered therapy
about human functioning, psychological dysfunction and psychotherapeutic change, which is based on
the central role of emotion. Emotion-centered therapy has the task of helping clients to process emotion,
primarily by overcoming secondary, symptomatic emotions and also to reach more constructive,
fundamentally sensitive emotions and to develop new emotion-based narratives. Results: The research
was conducted on two case types using emotion-focused therapy, and the results were that people can
change by accepting and experiencing emotions, confronting them with different emotions to transform
them, and reflecting on them to create new narrative meanings. Conclusions: Given the results
presented, we can say that emotion-focused therapy has a significant effect on reducing clients’
emotions, helping clients to process emotion primarily by overcoming secondary, symptomatic
emotions and developing new emotion-based narratives.

Regaining Control Over our Genes: Energy, Vibration, and Tibetan Singing Bowl Therapy

Alexandra Matei — Wed, 03 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Our thought systems, positive intentions, and vibrations expressed through sound, writing,
and other forms, along with an individual's will to shape their life, constitute key elements in their
micro-universe and consciousness. Changes at this level offer a holistic understanding of the individual
and their experiences, influencing life quality emotionally, socially, economically, and spiritually. This
bidirectional interaction between the biological system and human capacity for transformation through
consciousness and belief remains a mystery for researchers and cognitive psychology. The paper
explores how our thoughts' vibrations can cause radical changes in the human body, thus improving or
not improving life quality. Although this hypothesis cannot be statistically quantified due to limited
resources, I will use my own experimental observation gained from providing sound healing treatments
in analyzing the hypothesis. Based on my clients' responses and specialized literature, an improvement
in the emotional and biological state of individuals who underwent the procedure was observed.

The Relationship between the Type of Attachment and the Satisfaction within The Romantic Relationship

Lacramioara Mocanu, Madalina Ioana Isvanca, Raluca Andreea Nechifor — Wed, 03 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The need for interpersonal connection is a fundamental human need, to feel
connected, closed and related with others. This need is one of the most powerful and
important reasons which stand for human behaviour, relationships and interactions.
The interpersonal connection has numerous aspects and influences upon all our
aspects of life. All people feel the need to connect with those around them, this need
being a universal one, that still appears from the first moments of life (Choi & Marks,
2008; Calancea, 2021). Hence, each person needs emotional support, emotional
regulation, privacy, long-term relationships, collaboration, to be part of a
community, psychological well-being, understanding and acceptance.

Modern Trends in Psychology

Trends and research directions in the field of psychology are constantly changing with the
evolution of society and scientific discoveries. Cognitive psychology focuses on the study of higher
mental processes such as perception, attention, memory, thinking, language and problem solving.
Psychologists explore the ethical issues surrounding the collection, storage and use of personal data in
digital environments. Cross-cultural psychology is applied in various fields, including health,
education, business and interpersonal relationships. Health psychology provides tools and techniques
to manage stress associated with chronic medical conditions, trauma and other difficult life events.
Developmental psychology examines changes in thinking, memory, learning and other aspects of
cognitive functioning as people age.

The Mourning Process from Shattering to Integration

Diana Alexandra Iacob — Wed, 03 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Grief is the process by which the experience of loss and the pain associated with it are
integrated at a psychological level and whose completion allows the person to reorient themselves
towards life, a world and a life that no longer include the deceased person. The loss of a loved one is a
natural event in the course of life and is at the same time one of life’s greatest challenges. The death of
a loved one is a major stressor for at least two main reasons: loss (the sudden break in the attachment
relationship) and the confrontation with the theme of death, perhaps one of man’s greatest fears.

Therapeutic Approach to Alcohol Addiction in Young People

Ioana Margareta Mihai — Wed, 03 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Every day, we come across frantic headlines in the media about alcohol consumption, but
this subject is not given a qualitative and rational debate, scientifically based and attached to the reality
we live in. I have been wondering for some time what makes people use this drug and why the way
they react after consumption differs so much from one individual to another who consumes the same
beverage, and how they should be treated so as to reduce addictive consumption.

Aggressiveness in Schools

Nicoleta Oana Radu — Wed, 03 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

School violence - includes, in addition to aggressive behavior, other behaviors: violent,
inappropriate or offensive expression - nicknames, imitations, teasing, ironies, injuries, etc. The
teacher-student relationship is very important, its dynamics are specific to the age of the student, the
specialization of the teacher, but also their involvement in combating aggression in the case of school.
The problem of school violence is a constant interest of European policies, becoming an official
problem on the agenda of educational policies, of governments all over the world. Human Fundamental
Rights are violated, as is the child’s right to physical and mental safety in school. Aggression can
become a vicious circle in which students become bullied, they tend to isolate themselves from those
around them and even from their family. We are talking about marginalization, in which the educational
environment becomes a field of struggle and survival, and classmates become enemies worthy of feared.

Personality as a Selection Criterion for Education of the Mentally Deficient

Cristina Stratulat — Wed, 03 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The mental deficiency problematics represents a controversial and thoroughly studied field
by the literature, the specificity of its typologies, its etiology and the inclusion of this particular category
in society in general and in education in particular, representing some of the few directions followed by
the specialists. This article proposes an exhaustive theoretical approach of the structure of personality
of the mentally deficient, with a particular incision on the deficiency of intellect and how its
symptomatic portrait can influence the integration of the mentally deficient and the selection of the type
of education, inclusive or separate. The personality is in this way perceived as a factor of influence but
at the same time as a premise for choosing the educational context for the mentally deficient.

Exploring the Interconnection between Quantum Physics and Quantum Multiverses

Cristina Tomozei — Wed, 03 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Quantum physics is a fascinating and revolutionary field in science, continually challenging
the classical paradigms of our thinking and understanding of the universe. The concept of quantum
multiverses is an exciting paradigm in physics, proposing the existence of parallel realities that coexist
with our known universe. The development of quantum theories has been accompanied by a number of
philosophical interpretations. The concept of quantum multiverses brings with it significant
philosophical challenges and raises fundamental questions about the nature of reality and our place in
the cosmos.

The Excessive Use of “Screens” by Children - A Case Study for Developing Possible Therapeutic Approaches

Florina Madalina Bisceanu — Wed, 03 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The technological advances of the last 20 years have had a profound impact on modern
society, bringing along important transformations. The advent of the internet, mobile phones and other
remote communication devices has accelerated the exchange of information, exponentially increasing
the amount of information being exchanged and processed by their users, which has put additional
strain on cognitive capacities. Moreover, social changes have been observed, for example, with children
and young people moving away from physical interaction towards a solitary lifestyle. Method- The
online questionnaire method was used on a sample of 94 respondents. The results of the questionnaire
will be discussed in this article. Results -This analysis includes the results of the questionnaire that led
to the conclusions that will be stated in this article. Discussion and conclusions - Most psychologists
believe that we are still far from obtaining scientific evidence on the duration of use of devices involving
screens to be able to provide relevant recommendations for therapeutic approaches. The implications
of excessive use of screen devices go beyond the realm of psychology and, as we shall see throughout
this paper, imaging investigations on children and adolescents reveal a significant negative impact on
the cortex, with tailored significance for each case studied, but more importantly, on the associated
disorders that arise as a result of excessive screen time.

Impact of Modern Communication Technologies on Preschool Children

Cristina Boboc — Wed, 03 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The use of modern technologies by preschoolers is a complex and current topic. In an
increasingly digitized society, children are exposed to electronic devices from an early age. Modern
communication technologies have become an integral part of everyday life, profoundly influencing the
way preschool children interact and learn. While technology can provide opportunities for learning and
development, there are also concerns about its overuse, impact on social-emotional skills, and potential
health risks. This paper examines the benefits and risks associated with early exposure to technology
and proposes strategies, effective educational practices, and recommended methods to effectively
manage technology use and to promote the healthy and balanced development of preschool children.

Maternal Single Parent Family

Laura Iancu — Wed, 03 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Single parenthood following divorce often brings with it a decrease in the mother’s
involvement in her children’s upbringing, as demonstrated in a study by Bawin-Legros. This is
explained by the mother’s emotional overload. Single parenthood is slowly turning from a stigma into
a common feature, from abnormal to normal. The most consistent argument in this regard is that more
than a quarter of families in Romania are single-parent families. When families become single-parent
families as a result of divorce or separation of parents, the ties between the child and the parent with
whom he or she does not live permanently tend to break down in a very large number of cases.

Psychic Effects of Insomnia

Alexandra Rusu — Wed, 03 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Insomnia is a sleep disorder manifested by difficulty falling asleep, waking up during the
night or poor-quality sleep. The causes of insomnia are multiple, they can coexist and influence each
other. In the case of patients with chronic insomnia without association with other medical conditions,
a complex consultation is indicated. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends a medical
examination in order to eliminate suspicions related to the presence of some diseases, an anamnesis that
includes the patient's medical history, including psychiatric history.
