The Rationality of Alcoholics Anonymous and the Spirituality of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy
Authors: Velten Emmett
Published: December 2011

Although Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) differs markedly from Albert Ellis's rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) and its self‐help derivatives, AA and REBT‐based recovery groups share important rational objectives and numerous cognitive‐behavioral methods. As well, AA and REBT emphasize a philosophical shift as a principal ingredient for change. AA attributes such change to spiritual experiences, whereas REBT and its derivatives attribute it to normal human efforts and talents. Many conceptualizations of spirituality overlap with “self‐actualization,” which REBT promotes through its advocacy of self‐reliance and self‐acceptance, its attitude toward the past, and its constructivist view of personality. REBT remains unique in psychotherapy and counseling in integrating a secular humanistic philosophy of life with cognitive‐behavior therapy.

The center of the fountain is bubbling at a furious pace. There is constant movement and thousands of bubbles. It was me a few years ago as a parent frantically trying to meet the many needs of my children. Today, I am no longer in the center of the fountain, no longer the center of my children's lives. I am slowly sliding to the outer edge of the fountain where the water is calmer. Life at the outer edge requires another approach, another identity. I am changing: new friendships, new places to explore, and new ways to relate to my husband. A new life.

On campus there is this pedestrian walkway over a busy street. It is tunnel shaped with a clear plastic enclosure. I was walking through this tunnel and gazing at the traffic passing below, couples walking hand‐in‐hand on the paths and people hurrying to classes. It was then that I realized I was living my whole life in a tunnel. A big project had consumed so much of my life for over a year that I could only observe, but not participate in a full life. I was like one of the characters in Hemingway's story In Another Country: “In the fall the war was always there, but we did not go to it any more.” I, too, was there in real life but did not go to it any more.

Some Notes Toward a Philosophy of School Counseling
Authors: NASH PAUL
Published: December 2011

The field of school counseling is growing at an unprecedentedly fast rate. There is a danger that many practices will perpetuate themselves simply because no one has the time to examine their worth, that theories will be accepted without rigorous examination of their assumptions because we are concentrating on satisfying urgent practical demands, that the necessity for systematic clarification of key concepts will be overlooked in favor of more immediately rewarding tasks. These dangers can be offset only by a philosophical inquiry into some of these fundamental assumptions and concepts. This article represents an exploratory consideration of some of the terms that might be included in such an inquiry. It is suggested that at the heart of a philosophy of counseling lies the problem of human freedom. Seven concepts are studied that are thought to have relevance to counseling, and to freedom: prediction, testing, conformity, efficiency, authority, values, and finitude.
Exploring Behavior in Men's Residence Halls Using the MMPI
Authors: CLARK DONALD L.
Published: December 2011

This study was made to explore the usefulness of the MMPI in understanding and predicting disciplinary type behavior in residence halls. MMPI profiles of 302 men from the 10 most troubled sections of the residence halls were compared with MMPI profiles of 297 men from 10 least troubled sections by the chi‐square statistic. The troubled sections were found to include a larger number of men with high MMPI scores on the exciter scales 4, 8 or 9 (psychopathic deviate, schizophrenic, and hypomania.) The non‐troubled sections included a larger number of men with high scores on the suppressor scales 0, 2 or 5 (social introversion, depression, and masculinity‐feminity.) A cross validation on another population failed to predict problem and non‐problem sections but did suggest that scale 4 predicted individual problem behavior.
SCHOOL CENTERED PLAY‐THERAPY PROGRAM
Authors: ALEXANDER EUGENE D.
Published: December 2011

Play‐therapy which is explored through the presentation of a case is an integrated part of the total educational program and focuses on the teacher‐child relationship. The importance of the therapist's relationship with teachers is stressed. Therapy is seen as an attitude rather than as a technique. The therapeutic relationship has the basic essentials of any open and sincere human relationship. Therapy is presented as a situation in which the child is freed from the need for defensive action so that he has the opportunity for self‐actualization. It is looked upon as a learning experience in which the child has the chance to experiment and discover the process of true relationship. He is able to transfer this experience to his everyday life and finds that he can have warm relationships outside of the therapeutic situation.
Sociological Studies of Occupations as a “Way of Life”
Authors: COHEN ALBERT
Published: December 2011

Writers on counseling continue to draw attention to earlier sociological studies of the “way of life” entailed in occupations, pointing out that they provide enriched and highly significant occupational information not contained in the literature ordinarily used in counseling. Some have indicated that such information should be introduced in counseling.

Studies of the way of life of the professional dance musician have been singled out as examples of the value of such literature. The present paper reviews this set of studies, reaching the conclusion that this sample of sociological studies of occupations as a way of life should be used in counseling only with caution. Further similar studies, meeting more exacting criteria of reliability, would be desirable, since this type of information is potentially very valuable in career planning.
