Introduction to Counseling Psychology

Alice is a 16-year-old single  female who is three months pregnant. She seeks your advice concerning her pregnancy. She lives with her parents and her 15-year-old sister. She has not told her parents about the pregnancy and is concerned that, before long, they will find out. Her family has little money, and she is worried about having enough money to pay the medical expenses for the pregnancy and birth. Her parents do not have medical insurance. Alice has come to you because she feels depressed and “at the end of her rope.” She is looking for help. When you go to meet with her, she sobs throughout the interview and at times seems to whine.

Alice’s 36-year-old father Arnold is a part-time truck driver. Alice state that he has rigid views and tends to be rather “authoritarian.” She also thinks that he will “lose it” if he learns she is pregnant and will want to “take care of the situation” to make it go away. Although he has not physically abused her in the past two years, when she was younger he would often “take a belt to me.” At times he drinks too much, and there seem to be conflicts between him and his wife. He was married at age 18.

Alice states that her mother “cares a lot about me”; however, she also notes that her mother would never go against her father’s wishes. Alice’s mother Linda, who is 35 years old, works part-time at a fast food restaurant and is very concerned about her daughter’s well-being. Because she got married when she was pregnant with Alice, Alice thinks her mother will probably understand her situation.

Joan is Alice’s 15-year-old sister. Alice states that Joan is a good student, but sometimes acts like a “wise-ass.” She feels as if Joan has always received all of the attention in the family; and now that she is pregnant, Alice is concerned that she will be even more of an outcast. Alice notes that Joan has many friends and is often out of the house doing things rather than staying home with her “drunk dad” and her mom.

For this week’s assignment, decide whether you believe that Alice should be counseled individually or in family counseling and state why you made that decision. Try to address some of the following questions in your response and continue your discussion with at least two of your classmates.

Psychological Anthropology

/in /by

Prof. Stefania  Pandolfo Anthro 149: Psychological Anthropology  Spring 2015 Midterm paper topics. Directions: The papers should be 10-12 pages double space and should address one of the suggested topics. You can also make up your own topic by changing a topic slightly, addressing more than one theme, or interpreting it in a different way. In general, and in my experience, following a suggested topic is helpful, and enhances the quality of the paper. If you want to write on a completely different topic (but which must be based to the readings we discussed so far and listed here below), please consult with your GSI or with me for approval. Anchor your discussion in concrete examples from the readings trying to draw connections and parallels. Use footnotes or parentheses to indicate the source of your citations, and re-read/proofread the paper before handling it to us. It will flow much better. My criteria: A paper that I consider a good paper is solidly rooted in the readings, discussing a problem in the form of both exposition and argument. I appreciate original papers, but I don’t want originality that is not rooted in a careful reading. Readings: F. Fanon, Black Skin, White Mask M. Foucault, Madness and Civilization (or History of Madness) S. Freud and J. Breuer, Studies on Hysteria (Anna O plus introduction) S. Freud, “The Forgetting of Proper Names” S. Freud, Interpretation of Dreams (sections in the syllabus) S. Freud, “Considerations on War and Death” B. Bettelheim, Freud and Man’s Soul (excerpts) H. Ellenberger, The Discovery of the Unconscious (Excerpts) Gananath Obeyesekere, The Work of Culture (Ch. 1) 1. Freud and Fanon on dreams Discuss Fanon’s position on trauma, culture, and dreams in the colony, in relation to Freud’s “dream-work” in Interpretation of dreams: In Ch. 4 of Black Skin White Mask Fanon takes issue with psychological anthropologists that sought to explain what he calls “the dependency complex of the colonized” in cultural terms. Speaking of Madagascar, the island in the Indian Ocean at the Southern tip of Africa that became a French colony in 1894, Fanon says: “Since Galieni [the French general who arrived with the French army] the Malgasi ceased to exist” (p. 74), and goes on to describe the impact of colonialism as an “absolute wound” (p. 77, 2 your translation says “unmistakable wound”), a societal trauma that changes all relations, a shattering of the self and culture. In this light Fanon reads the Malgasi dreams–as a form of torture and a violent invasion: the irruption in sleep of a “gun label 1916” (p. 86), or of a black bull that is not a symbol, but the insistent return of the memory of torture in the basements of the police station (footnote 30, p. 84, the footnote we discussed in class). For Fanon there is no culture left that may provide the basis for a “work” of symbolic elaboration (the “dreamwork” or “the work of culture”), and the colonized self is left without protection, exposed to a violence that is literal, and is reiterated in his or her own dreams. Compare the dreams on p. 79-88 of Black Skin, White Mask, with what Freud says of dreams in Ch. II of Interpretation of Dreams (the dream of Irma’s injection), or another dream from Ch. 6. First discuss the Freudian dream-work basing your discussion on the example of the dream of Irma and on the sections in Ch. 6 (“The dream-work”): in what sense the dream-work is a “work” (labor, elaboration?) In what sense it is a language (of images)? What are its rules? What are the symbolic operations of “condensation” and “displacement”? In what way the dream-work translates an unconscious motivation? What does the dream do for Freud? How does it think? Fanon argues that the Freudian analysis of dreams fails in the colony: discuss. 2. Freud and Obeyesekere, the dreamwork and the work of culture: In his ethnographic analysis of the case of Abdin the Sri Lankan anthropologist Gananath Obeyesekere shows how the Freudian dream-work is encountered at the level of ritual, and that it makes possible a mediation between the personal meanings of symptoms in Abdin’s history of trauma, and the shared meaning of culture. Discuss Obeyesekere’s “work of culture” in conversation with Freud’s “dream-work”, and his understanding of the unconscious and the formation of symptoms/symbols. First discuss the Freudian dream-work basing your discussion on the example of the dream of Irma or another dream in the sections we read, and on the sections on the dreamwork in Ch. 6 (“The dreamwork”). In what sense the dreamwork is a “work” (labor, elaboration?) In what sense it is a language (of images)? What are its rules? What are the symbolic operations of “condensation” and “displacement”? In what way the dream-work translates, elaborates and expresses an unconscious motivation? What does the dream do for Freud? How does it think? Then discuss the “work of culture” according to Obeyesekere, and in the specific context of his South Asian example. What is the “work of culture”? What its relation to public symbols, ritual and religion? In what way is Obeyesekere both inspired by Freud and taking his insight in a different direction? How do you think Freud’s ideas may be relevant (or irrelevant) today, in, and outside of the West? 3. Freud and Foucault (Bettelheim and Ellenberger)3 Basing your paper on the chapters we read in Foucault’s Madness of Civilization and/or on the excerpts from Bettelheim on Freud and Man’s Soul, and/or and the sections in Ellenberger’s Discovery of the Unconscious on the ancestors of psychoanalysis, elaborate on the relationship between the prior lives of madness (vis-a-vis religious healing, and/or humoral medicine), the rise of modern psychiatry and psychology, and the place of psychoanalysis, poised between. 4. Fanon and Freud 1 To the best of your knowledge, and based on your choice from the readings we did (including Freud’s Studies on Hysteria, Interpretation of Dreams, and Considerations on War and Death) attempt to trace the Freudian themes in Fanon’s Black Skin White Mask. Give first a careful reading of Fanon’s argument on “alienation” and what might be called the “colonization of the imaginary”, and discuss the question of aggressivity and destruction in Fanon and Freud. How do Freud and Fanon open (or not) the possibility of thinking violence, subjectivity, and ethics in a way that might still be helpful today? How could you relate Freud’s insights in Considerations of War and Death to Fanon’s discussion of domination, violence, and terror? 5. Fanon and Freud 2 Discuss side by side Fanon’s Black Skin White Mask and Freud’s Considerations on War and Death. How could you relate Freud’s insights in Considerations of War and Death to Fanon’s discussion of domination, violence, and terror in the colony? 6. Foucault’s madness, Fanon’s race Read through all the questions above on Fanon, Foucault, and Freud, and compose your own paper topic as an analytic comparison of the way in which in each account the machinery of exclusion is associated with the production of otherness. You may further your argument by discussing how the production and exclusion of otherness is related to what Foucault describes as the silencing of a dialogue between reason and madness: a dialogue which, as we read and discussed in class, is at the center of the Freudian theory of subjectivity, of the unconscious, and desire, and more specifically is found in the Freudian concept of the “symptom”. 7. Freud Through a close reading of two chapters of your choice from Freud’s texts we read for our class, discuss Freud’s understanding of the self, the psyche, desire (the wish), pain, repression, and unconscious elaboration. Don’t try to do this in general terms (and don’t seek the help of accounts of Freudian psychoanalysis other than what we read for our class). Remain as close as possible to Freud’s language and concepts, to the examples he uses
in the chapters we read, and the way I discussed those in my lectures. Take the story of Anna O., the forgetting of the name of the painter Signorelli [Ch. 1, Psychopathology of Everyday Life] and the dream of Irma’s injection [Ch 2, Interpretation of Dreams]. Trace in each case how Freud describes and analyzes the play of memory and 4 forgetting in the “two localities”. What is the force of desire? What is the operation of repression/suppression? How can we, in each case, map the work of feelings, and the “repressed thoughts” in the “Other Locality”, through connections and symbolic transformation (what Freud calls “displacement” and “condensation”)? 8. Freud and Obeyesekere “I wanted , therefore, to forget something; I had repressed something. What I wanted to forget was not, it is true, the name of the artist at Orvieto, but something else–something, however, which contrived to place itself in associative connection with its name, so that my act of will missed its target and I forgot the one thing against my will, while I wanted to forget the other thing intentionally”. (S. Freud, The Psychopathology of Everyday Life, p. 13). Taking the lead from this passage, discuss the theory of subjectivity and the unconscious developed by Freud, through some of the chapters you have read. What does the “disturbance” and the “compromise of the symptom” reveal or express? What does this tell us about the relationship of conscious and unconscious agencies? And in general about Freud’s approach to subjectivity? What could be the use, applicability, or insight, of this Freudian view from an anthropological perspective? Relate this question to G. Obeyesekere’s discussion of the case of Abdin (in The Work of Culture). How do culture and religion mediate the expression and articulation of Abdin’s unconscious life, trauma and desire? How does Obeyesekere understand the movement of “regression” and “progression” between cultural and religious “symbols” and personal and psychopathological “symptom”? Discuss this point through a close reading of the case. Do you find Obeyesekere’s account and his approach interesting, useful, and why? 9. Anna O. and Abdin. In light of the elaboration I suggest in topics 4 and 5, discuss Freud and Breuer’s case of Anna O., and Obeyesekere’s case of Abdin closely and in relation to each other. Consider Anna’s vocabulary, in particular the concept of her “private theatre” (p. 23), and compare them to Obeyesekere’s analysis of Abdin’s ritual scenes.

MOC 2014-15 Assignments 03. Manager role profile assignment – Managerial work Answer each part separately, indicated by its letter (a) In what ways are your two manager role profiles similar and different in terms of their visual and content features, and their balance of information? What message do they send about each company? Analyze the two manager role profiles using templates A, B, C and D. Include these completed templates in your appendix. (25%) (b) In what ways are your two manager role profiles similar and different in terms of the Fayol’s and Mintzberg’s frameworks? Analyze the two profiles using Fayol’s framework (template E) and Mintzberg’s framework (template F). Include research and reading as appropriate. Insert your completed templates into the appendix. (25%) (c) What omissions can be found in the contributions of Fayol and Mintzberg in terms of what managers do? Can you add any missing managerial activities or management roles or changing or removing others? Relate this to criticisms of the two frameworks. Use the readings in the reading list marked CR (critical) to support your suggestions ((25%). (d) Using one of the elicitation interview formats, question a manager about the various aspects of their role within the organization (see below) Relate your interviewee’s answers to the academic literature reviewed in your previous three answers (25%) Your assignment should be 2,500 words long; your references and appendices are excluded from the word count; and it is due in on the 4th March 2015. Briefing You should obtain two managers’ role profiles (job descriptions). Use your own current workplace contacts or approach your relatives, friends or a past / present employer, to obtain these two profiles. One of your two manager role profiles should be that of a manager whom you could interview. For the other, if needed: • Search the executive employment advertisements in newspapers (e.g. Financial Times, The Times, Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, Herald, Scotsman); or in Sunday newspapers (Sunday Times, Sunday Telegraph, Observer); magazines (The Engineer; The Economist, New Scientist, Marketing Week) or on the web, which include the word ‘Manager’ (e.g. ‘Department manager, Marketing manager, Factory manager, Unit manager). • These advertisement usually invite readers to obtain further information about the job/post by directing them to the organization’s website (e.g. ‘For all the details go to: http://…). Visit the website given and locate the details of the position being advertised. It should one or two pages long, and contain a list of duties and responsibilities. It specifies what the manager is expected to do. It lists 8-10 or more activities or roles. Print it off. Begin by studying the slides from the relevant lecture sessions. Then consult the basic and specialist reading (see below), as well as any relevant websites, to familiarize yourself with the relevant theories and research associated with managerial work – Fayol’s managers’ activities and Mintzberg’s managerial roles. Then use any of templates from the Techniques Toolbox to help you analyze your managers’ role profiles (job descriptions), Part (a) asks you to compare the visual and content features of your two manager role profiles. Someone has consciously approved the fonts, colours and layout, and has agreed to the content. Use the templates to help identify what that company image being portrayed through these role profiles. Part (b) asks you to analyze the content of each manager role profile using the Fayol and Mintzberg frameworks. See if any of the profile descriptions match up with any of Fayol’s activities or management roles. Note those that do not.. Part (c) asks you to critically assess the Fayol and Mintzberg frameworks regarding managerial work, Identify any management activities or roles that are missing from either of the two frameworks. Part (d) of the question asks you to interview a manager (but not in the traditional way) to obtain their views about their role within their organization. Choose one of the three types of elicitation interview (avoiding the usual ‘question-answer’ interview). The instructions to your interviewee for each type of interview are shown below. Their comments should be related back to your earlier academic reading. Elicitation interview type Instruction to your interviewee Drawings If you had to divide your day into five main buckets of activities, draw the contents of each bucket. Photographs Take photographs that illustrate aspects of your work in this organization and answer the question of what it’s like to be a manager here? Objects Which activities or roles • do you perform most frequently • are most important • are most liked or disliked by you Are there any activities that you perform but which are omitted from the role profile? If you were able to alter aspects of your role in this organization, what changes would these be and why? Begin by studying the slides from the relevant lectures. Use the key terms at the start of each lecture to familiarize yourself with the general concepts, theories, author names and research findings relevant to this assignment. Then, consult some of journal articles from the Specialist Reading list, and locate any relevant websites. Only use newspapers, web pages, magazines and blogs sparingly, and then only for illustrative purposes. None of these are reliable sources of information. Use the templates from the Techniques Toolbox which are located on the MOC Moodle, next to this briefing file. Assignment reading The answers in your assignment essay should incorporate material obtained from at least 2 textbooks taken from the Basic Reading list, and at least 4 journal articles chosen from the Specialist Reading list. The wider the range of your reading included in your assignment essay, the better. ***************** Basic reading list – alternatives Management and organization behaviour textbooks can be found shelved in the Main Library 6 th floor at call numbers: Economics C310; Economics C380 and Economics S537-S540.
