Keep happy
No full textEustace Miles's "Keep Happy" is an essay arguing that happiness is an outlook full of joy, cheerfulness, and goodwill that serves as an antidote to difficulties and negativity. The author defines happiness as the most powerful aid to 'physical, moral, and mental health', which should become part of the mind, and contends that it is easily maintained. Miles emphasizes that keeping happy is a virtue, a duty, and an act of heroism, as it allows every good quality to grow, spreads to others, and neutralizes the power of negative emotions (ill-temper, depression, anxiety) to magnify troubles. Essentially, the book encourages readers to cultivate the habit of being happy regardless of circumstances, thereby becoming healthier, better, and more helpful individuals.Eustace Miles'ın "Keep Happy" (Mutlu Kalın) adlı kitabı, mutluluğun neşe, neşe ve iyilik dolu bir bakış açısı olduğunu, bu durumun zorluklara ve olumsuzluklara karşı bir panzehir görevi gördüğünü savunan bir denemedir. Yazar, mutluluğu, zihnin bir parçası haline getirilmesi gereken 'fiziksel, ahlaki ve zihinsel sağlık' için en güçlü yardım olarak tanımlar ve bunun kolayca korunabileceğini iddia eder. Miles, mutlu kalmanın bir erdem, bir görev ve bir kahramanlık eylemi olduğunu vurgular, çünkü bu durum her iyi niteliğin gelişmesini sağlar, başkalarına yayılır ve olumsuz duyguların (kötü huyluluk, depresyon, endişe) zorlukları büyüten gücünü ortadan kaldırır. Özünde kitap, okuyucuları, koşullar ne olursa olsun mutlu kalma alışkanlığını benimsemeye ve böylece daha sağlıklı, daha iyi ve daha yardımsever bireyler olmaya teşvik etmektedir
Enabling migrancy: A comparative study of Indian migrants
No full textIn this thesis, I compare literary negotiations of Indian cultural identity within a system of global discourses that often overdetermines identity. Two key concepts I will use as cornerstones are hybridity and migrancy: the former, the state of being that results from the merging of separate, distinct, and often conflicting ideological, cultural, linguistic, or religious categories, and the latter, the further hybridized state of having moved from one geographical and ideological space, marked by particular culture, customs, traditions, and expectations, to an unfamiliar one. I argue that conflicting ideologies exerted on the migrant can be overwhelming and ultimately disabling; however, the liminal, in-between position of the migrant, poised between ideologies, can also be a positive and powerfully liberating position. Drawing on the scholarship of postcolonial theorist Homi K. Bhabha, I analyse how the authors of three fictional Indian texts depict migrancy as enabling. These three texts are The God of Small Things by Indian writer Arundhati Roy, Tales from Firozsha Baag by Indo-Canadian author Rohinton Mistry, and The Namesake by Indo-American writer Jhumpa Lahiri. In Chapter One, I discuss how Bhabha's scholarship supports my reading of rigid ideological structure as an impediment to enabled migrancy. Subsequent chapters provide detailed accounts of each author‟s representations of the migrant subject, the ideologies that act on them, and the hybridity that, if utilized, can allow migrants to counter ideology, create new identities, and live out an enabled existence. Ultimately, I show that migrancy, as a form of hybridity, is an enabling force that undermines the limitations of ideology and allows for the creation of new, enabled identities, in this case among Indian migrants but by extension, for all those living out a globalized, overdetermined identity
Be a man
No full textThe current research study seeks to explore how male psychotherapists negotiate the relationship between their identities as men and their identities as therapists and whether a realignment of the two is required. The Oxford English Dictionary (2012) gives the definition of identity as the characteristic determining who or what a person or thing is. The word man, they define as an adult human male (Oxford University Press, 2012). Existing research into the relationship between men’s identities and their identities as therapist’s focuses on the limitations old ideas of masculinity place on males who work within the humanistic and integrative field of psychotherapy. Additionally it is argued that the field has become a female concentrated occupation. This research asks the question of who post-modern man is and how he negotiates his way within the field of psychotherapy. The study concludes that the role of the post-modern male has changed and is being conceived of as one which is more fully human; that self monitoring through personal therapy is essential for all practising psychotherapists in order to ensure that they have worked through a sufficient amount of their own process; and that there is a need to look beyond gender in order to integrate all aspects of self for the work of the humanistic and integrative psychotherapist.

Breaking boundaries : an exploration of the experience of the pregnant trainee therapist
No full textThe aim of this study is to explore the experience of pregnant trainee therapists. It seeks to explore how pregnancy impacts on clinical work, personal notions of identity and motherhood, and on the overall training experience. A sample group of five participants were interviewed using semi-structured qualitative methodology and the data gathered is analysed and presented according to the procedures of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. A far reaching clinical impact is reported, with both facilitating and disruptive elements such as increased attunement and transference, physical discomfort, issues around disclosure and containment, heightened counter-transference, and increased need for preservation and protection. Personal impact on the self includes struggles with changing identity, the re-emergence of old conflicts, and a reworking of parental relationship among others. The findings also include issues particular to participants‟ training experience. All the individuals in this study feel there was a lack of information and support. Some highlight the inter-connectedness of the training and new motherhood experience. The findings are discussed in relation to the existing literature and recommendations are made for training institutions and future pregnant trainee therapists in relation to this issue.

Therapy : not a mans world. A qualitative study of the influence of male gender role conflict on male therapists and their work with clients
No full textThe study of Male Gender Role Conflict (MGRC) has emerged relatively recently as
a distinct research area in Psychotherapy and Psychology. Gender Role Conflict
(GRC) is defined as a psychological state in which socialized gender roles have
negative consequences for the individual or others. GRC occurs when rigid, sexist, or
restrictive gender roles result in restriction, devaluation, or violation of others or self.
Very little has been researched to date on the impact of MGRC among male therapists
specifically, and this forms the basis of the study. The study sets out to research
qualitatively, the influence of MGRC on male therapists, and its impact on their work
with clients in therapy. Established concepts and patterns of MGRC were used to
frame the research questions. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five
individual male therapists in the Greater Dublin Area. The interviews were analysed
using qualitative thematic analysis. The study showed that MGRC was an influential
factor on male therapists’ and their work, particularly with regards to their experience
of failure in therapy, the experience of strong emotions with clients in therapy, and
their interaction with male clients. Failure could spillover from the professional into
the personal; strong and intense client-emotions in certain circumstances could
negatively impact therapists and cause or exacerbate emotional restrictiveness;
masculine ideology and identity could be threatened by a fear of the feminine and this
was reflected in client preference and experience; overall, the potential incongruence
between masculine norms and psychotherapy practice were highlighted. Author keywords: Gender, male, masculinity, conflict, role
"In the sea but not of it": Rites of passage and liminal spiritual perspectives in the fiction of Tim Winton
No full textThis thesis examines liminal conditions in the fiction of Western Australian author Tim Winton in light of Victor Turner's theory of rites of passage, Mircea Eliade's analysis of religion, and Homi K. Bhabha's and Manuel Aguirre's abstract theories of liminality. For Winton's characters, liminal spaces, which most frequently reflect the Western Australian landscape, enable ad hoc rites of passage and spiritual experiences. Proceeding from Winton's early short fiction through his novels Cloudstreet and Breath, this thesis traces the development of Winton's views of liminal spaces, specifically their capacity for rites of passage and spiritual development that support meaningful transformation and negotiation of identity. Over the course of his career, Winton's fiction displays an increasing pessimism about the possibility of achieving such transformation, due to the lack of communal ritual and spiritual practices to give shape to rites of passage

An exploration of the experience of internalised homophobia among gay Irish men : a phenomenological approach
No full textThis study concerns the issue of internalised homophobia among gay Irish males, and
seeks to develop an insight in to the experience and impact of the phenomenon.
Research participants were five gay males between the ages of thirty-one and fiftyseven,
from a range of socioeconomic backgrounds across various regions of Ireland.
The concepts of homophobia and the internalisation of homophobia, are discussed,
with particular reference to attitudes to homosexuality across time, and the impact of
internalised homophobia. Theory and research relevant to the topic are also reviewed,
and the lack of empirical work in the Irish context is emphasised. A
phenomenological approach was utilised in the research in order to attain a
description of the experiences and consequences of internalised homophobia.
Appropriate ethical issues, such as confidentiality and the right of withdrawal, are
addressed. Three specific themes emerged on analysis of the participants exploratory
interviews: the process of internalisation of homophobia, the development of
strategies to cope with the negative introject, and subsequent attempts to integrate
sexuality into identity. The study adds to the current literature and research findings
on the experience of internalised homophobia and provides an insight into the
phenomenon in the Irish context. Author keywords: internalised homophobia, homophobia, homosexuality, sexualit
