Discussion 2: Death and Dying

It is useless for me to describe to you how terrible Violet, Klaus, and even Sunny felt in the time that followed. If you have ever lost someone very important to you, then you already know how it feels, and if you haven’t, you cannot possibly imagine it.
—Lemony Snicket, A Series of Unfortunate Events

Counselors must understand and prepare for the life-changing decisions and reactions that may accompany a client’s process of transition and adjustment during times of grief. In addition, identifying how personality, family dynamics, and particularly culture might impact each client is crucial when working with grieving families. Failure to make conscious connections with cultural boundaries and beliefs during this time can lead to further emotional distress for and among family members.

Consider for a moment, the culture of the Hmong, a people originally from various mountainous regions of Asia who immigrated in droves to the United States seeking refuge from the mid 1960s through the 1990s. For as far back as records indicate, the Hmong have viewed the human body as a vessel in which the spirit lives. When the body dies, the spirit leaves the body and traces one’s life back to its place of birth. To start the spirit on its journey, the Hmong employ a specific process that is to be carried out during one’s passing. This ceremony contrasts that of Western medical proceedings and can therefore cause a rift between cultures during this fragile time.

Similarly, many other cultures have distinct perceptions about using Western medicine and technology to lengthen life. As a counselor, how might you proactively support a family experiencing the many internal challenges related to grieving as well as those caused by external factors?

To complete this Discussion, review the case study presented at the end of Chapter 15 of The Life Span. As you read this case study, consider the emotional and behavioral reactions of each family member as he or she copes with the decline and eventual death of Victor, the family patriarch.

Post by Day 4 an explanation of the factors driving each family member’s individual reaction to terminal illness and death. Then, explain two healthy coping strategies for this family system. Include developmental, resiliency, and cultural influences on coping with loss. Justify your response with references to this week’s Learning Resources and the current literature. Be specific.

 

 

Please note that in order to complete this discussion, you must review the case study at the end of Chapter 15 of the B&B text (p. 518).  Your objectives for this assignment are:

1) an explanation of the factors driving each family member’s individual reaction to terminal illness and death
2) explain two healthy coping strategies for this family system (include developmental, resiliency, and cultural influences on coping with loss)

Your main discussion post should include citations to the text as well as at least one or two additional resources from this week.  You have been provided with quite a few choices this week, many of which address the topic of loss, death or the related cultural practices.  It’s important to include multiple resources in your work, and to demonstrate critical thinking and analysis in your response.

Remember to create an outline prior to drafting your post. Be sure to address all objectives, and to include an introduction and a summary.

As you consider your own views on this topic, please also reflect on the following:

— Why is a discussion of death and its meaning vital to your training as a counselor?
— How might your own views of death and dying influence your work with clients?
— What influences in your own development directly and indirectly affected the way in which you view, cope with, and respond to death?
— Are there cultural or personal traditions that you have associated with death? How and why are these meaningful to you?

List and define the five traits included in the Big Five theory of personality. What are the limitations of this approach?

Post your message on the topic by Day 3 or Day 5 of this week. Comment on at least 1 colleagues’ postings, selecting, if applicable, postings that have not yet received feedback. Reply to other discussion developments.

 

 

The Big Five theory of personality traits is described as extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism and openness.

1.      Extraversion: Includes characteristics such as enthusiasm, sociability, dominance, talkativeness and energetic. It also refers to people that is shy, submissive and quite as an extrovert.

2.      Agreeableness is individuals who are friendly, warm, trusting and cooperative. On the other hand, individuals who are low on this component are usually cold, confrontational and unkind.

3.      Conscientiousness: dimension includes people who are dependable, courteous, persistent, and responsible and organize. It also characterizes some people as being impulsive, these individuals tend to be careless, undependable and antisocial.

4.      Neuroticism: Are individuals, who are emotional instability, they tend to be nervous, moody, sad and anxious. While emotionally sound individuals are usually calm and contented.

5.      Openness this trait highlight characteristics such as imagination, insightful, witty, original and artistic. Individuals who are low on openness tend to be shallow and plain (Friedman& Schustack, 2012).

The limitation of the Big Five theory is it cannot accurately predict any particular behavior for the simple fact that, human behavior is formed on many different factors, not only personality. The model is also limited by its extensive Universalism doctrines. For instance, when we think of a person, one must consider all facets such as religious beliefs, and philosophical concepts with universal application. The Big Five does not give us a better understanding of gender, culture, age, or personality expressions. Friedman& Schustack (2012) suggest that, “One has to be careful when using the big five personality trait because it can underestimate some avenue of other parts of our personality and the role in a social situation. It sometimes fails to notice personal situation or even the fact that basic dimensions do a better job in describing some person than others (Friedman& Schustack, 2012, p. 275)

When Henry Bottom of Form

Bottom of Form

 

Henry Murray created the personality theory which focused on our basic needs which he called psychogenic needs.  He believed that the human needs were mostly at an unconscious level. He defined a need as a potentiality to react in a specific way under certain known circumstances. Friedman& Schustack (2012), “Murray’s needs are as followed:

1. Affiliation- which is the need for closeness that is returned by someone else.

2. Autonomy- is the need for independence

3. Dominance- this is the need to influence or control someone else.

4. Exhibition- is classified as the need to be seen and heard

5. Harm-avoidance- this is characterize as the need to be cautious and avoid injury.

6. Nurturance- is the need to help and care for the weak.

7. Order – is considered to organize things

8. Play – it is the need to have fun and enjoy life

9. Sex- the need for intimacy

10. Succorance this the need to nurtured, loved and controlled.

11. Understanding is the need to explore, simplify and speculate” (Friedman & Schustack, 2012, p. 324).

For one of the needs, provide an example of an occupation that would help to satisfy that need and explain why? Dominance is the desire to influence or control others. An example of an occupation would be a manager because of their need to have control over others. A manager tends to have a high need for power which gives them the ability to rate an employee higher if the employee has the ability to complement the topic. Whereas those with low or moderate need for power rate employees the same.

 

For another need, describe how the need can cause trouble for a person in an occupational role. The need for affiliation can be troublesome in the workforce because their need for closeness, it will not always be reciprocated. In an occupational role if an individual does not feel as if they can trust the people that they work with, then work becomes stressful and the job will not be fulfilling. Studies shows, “People who score high in the affiliation need are unpopular, apt to avoid interpersonal conflicts, and likely to be unsuccessful as business managers. These tendencies may be due to their high level of anxiety about whether other people will like them. They may act in an overly assertive manner to avoid any possible rejection” (Anonymous, 2008, p.195).

Instructions Warm-Up Activity 1.1: How to Prepare a Timeline Timelines are a visual way to present information to readers. By using text, graphics and pictures, you can deliver background information in a unique, yet understandable manner. Timeline tips: Your assignment provides you with general information and instructions on what you need to include in your timeline. 1. Outline your timeline. Start by outlining your key points and dates that your timeline needs to cover. This approach will help you to identify, present, and submit your information in a logical manner. 2. Research events, theories, individuals, etc. Next, as you do with any assignment, locate accurate information about your timeline elements. Remember to keep track of your source materials because you will need to provide citations and references for your work. 3. Locate images. Because your timeline is a visual presentation of information, locate images (pictures, art, graphics, etc.) that you can incorporate into your timeline. 4. Decide on a format. You can create a timeline by using several, different methods. If you have Excel, Word, and PowerPoint, visit the following website for instructions on how to create a timeline: https://support.office.com/en-US/Article/Create-a-timeline-1770e4df-3a4a-4145-a35a-e8973497d9e7?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US. You may also want to check for any free timeline templates on the Internet. 5. Decide how to present information. Consider how you will present the information. Once you have decided, be consistent in your approach. For example, if you name a theorist or key figure, will you include his/her birth and death dates? How much detail will you provide about an individual, a theory, an event, etc.? 6. Use color, bold, italics, and font size for emphasis. If there are specific points that you want the reader to notice, consider using bold, italics, or color for emphasis. You may also want to use a larger or smaller font size to indicate relationships within the content. Whatever your choice, be consistent and use emphasis elements sparingly (one color or technique). 7. Cite and reference source material. Images and information must be cited and referenced. Depending on the template you decide to use, you may use citations with footnotes to indicate the source (in a spreadsheet program) or citations, and then a separate reference page or slide (in a word processing document or presentation program). Be sure to adhere to basic APA format for references. Assignment For this task, you will place the following psychologists and their motivational research on a timeline. In your timeline, indicate the year or decade in which the individual�s contributions were made, and then provide a brief summary of the individual�s key findings or theory. Key theorists � Richard P. Bagozzi and Paul R. Warshaw � Frank and Lillian Gilbreth � Jerald Greenberg � Frederick Herzberg � Robert Hoppock � Kurt Lewin � Edwin Locke � Abraham Maslow � Elton Mayo � Hugo M�nsterberg � Walter Dill Scott � Edward Thorndike � Louis Leon Thurstone � Morris Viteles
