Szczęście nie jest częścią przyjemności

Author(s): Alain Brossat / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2018

W zbiorze artykułów poświęconym Siegfriedowi Kracauerowi (zatytułowanym po francusku: Kracauer l’exilé), amerykański historyk i filozof Martin Jay, specjalista od teorii krytycznej, zauważa: w latach sześćdziesiątych XX wieku Theodor Adorno podejrzewa, że Kracauer, z którym łączy go to, co Jay nazywa „zakłóconą przyjaźnią”, staje się „konformistą dążącym do szczęścia”. Na dowód przytacza w szczególności jego zainteresowanie przemysłem kulturowym jako rzekomą słabość do hollywoodzkiego kina komercyjnego.

The Communication between Students and Teachers: Barriers and the Ways to Overcome them

Author(s): María Boltá Hidalgo / Language(s): English Issue: I/2020

The purpose of this article is to explain some of the barriers that teachers can face when they are trying to communicate with their students. At the same time we will suggest some ideas to overcome them, as well as examples of different situations experienced by teachers. Also, there are some cases where we can even use these barriers as a way to improve the learning process. More specifically, we are going to focus on cultural barriers and psychological barriers. Another topic that we will be focusing on is the digital generation and how these differences can generate a new type of barrier.

The Relationship between the Strategy of Coping with Difficult Social Situations by Students with Mild Intellectual Disability and their Overt Aggressive Behaviour

Author(s): Adam Mikrut / Language(s): English Issue: I/2020

The present study is an attempt to verify the assumption of mutual relationship between coping strategies in difficult social situations by students with mild intellectual disability and their aggressive behaviour displayed in other everyday situations and circumstances. Justification of this assumption can be found in the repetitive and ensuing sequence of occurrences and processes: the deficits in perceptual-cognitive, intellectual and emotional-motivational functions which are characteristic of this group of people, make it difficult for them to understand and evaluate the interpersonal relationships, hence they perceive them as threatening. Emotional tension arising from those situations is released by using destructive strategies including aggression. The repetition of this experience leads to destructive behaviours which are manifested in various everyday situations and circumstances. These fixed behaviour patterns are then used in subsequent difficult social situations etc.

Early social learning and constancy in close relationship

Author(s): Petra Winnette / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2022

social development starts early in the prenatal period and continues intensively throughout infancy. An infant’s experiences with a caregiver, their first close relationship, are encoded, stored, and used for further social development and functioning later in life. In this article, I outline a new theoretical view: through repetitive, sustained interaction with a primary caregiver infants acquire an implicit knowledge and higher memory schema of constancy in close relationship. That guides their ability to form and maintain close relationships not just in childhood, but throughout the lifespan as well. Furthermore, absence of a primary caregiver in infancy results in specific impairments in social functioning. Thus, I propose that absence of constancy in close relationship should be considered a specific form of early social adversity.

The Motif of Sacrifice in Surrogacy

Author(s): Roman Globokar / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2022

The regulation of surrogacy varies between different countries. There is a trend towards greater liberalization on the global level. Ethical evaluation creates a basic dilemma: Is surrogacy a superior form of solidarity between people or the instrumentalization of a woman’s body, being contrary to the fundamental dignity of every human person? How does surrogacy affect people involved in the process and what do decades of experi- ence with surrogacy tell us about its effect on human beings? Is there an ideal form of sur- rogacy where reproductive parties themselves describe the relationship as satisfactory, fair, and just, and where the well-being of all involved parties is equally considered?In this article, we will look at the unsuccessful initiative to regulate at least the issue of al- truistic surrogacy in the Council of Europe countries in 2016. The aspect of sacrifice of the surrogate mother for the well-being of the couple who wants a child is often raised. However, the mere altruistic intention to help another does not make an act ethically acceptable. The paper also draws attention to several ethical reservations regarding surrogacy. The most con- troversial issue is the instrumentalization of a woman’s body. Especially in poor countries, the victims of surrogacy are very badly informed about the procedure, while their freedom and autonomy are significantly infringed. A child born to a surrogate mother can also be a victim of various interests of intended parents, different corporations and the woman who gave birth to him/her. The paper outlines the vulnerability of the intended parents, the surro- gate mother, and above all the child, who is often forgotten in the debates. Additionally, it also touches upon the frequently neglected ethical perspective of personal desire, sacrifice, and victimization. When is it ethically acceptable, from the point of the altruistic action recipient, to expect and accept altruistic actions? When do subjective expectations and desires cross the boundary that divides means of overcoming health limitations from mere selfishness? Last but not least, it also questions when the intent of helping others transforms from an ethically acceptable sacrifice to ethically unacceptable victimization.

“MAKING PEACE WITH ONESELF”: INTERNAL CONFLICT IN ADDICTIONS AND ITS “RESOLUTION” IN THERAPEUTIC GROUP INTERACTIONS

Author(s): Claudia Varga,Ion Copoeru / Language(s): English Issue: Sp.Issue/2023

Counselors and therapists on addictions and recovery from addictions are employing a variety of methods and techniques to break through the wall of denial and resistance. Accordingly, new methods of research are needed in order to describe and eventually understand the phenomenon of addictions and the ways of recovery from addictions. The paper attempts to define and describe the internal conflict and the way it is brought to the surface and “resolved” (processed and eventually transformed) in therapeutic group interactions. For that, we are using a phenomenological approach to conceptualize addiction in terms of connectedness and methods inspired by the analysis of interactions in order to document the transformative experience necessary for the recovery from addiction.

STRATEGIE RADZENIA SOBIE ZE STRESEM OSÓB SŁABOWIDZĄCYCH - ROLA PRZEKONAŃ NA TEMAT ŚWIATA I WŁASNEJ SKUTECZNOŚCI

Author(s): Beata Szabała / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2022

The consequences of low vision concern various areas of human functioning. In the context of problems which affect people with low vision and the stress related to them, remedial activities are gaining increasingly more importance. In the literature on the subject, there are few studies devoted to this issue, and the complete lack of them is noticed regarding the role of beliefs about the world and self-efficacy in shaping the coping with stress of low vision people. Consequently, the aim of this research paper is to determine the dependence between stress-coping strategies of people with low vision and their beliefs about the world and self-efficacy. In order to achieve the set goal, Mini-COPE Inventory Measuring Stress-Coping Strategies by Carver, Basic Hope Questionnaire by J. Trzebiński and Zięba and The Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale by Schwarzer and Jerusalem were utilized for the research. It has revealed that beliefs about the world and self-efficacy are of relevance for the strategies of coping with stress among people with low vision. The strongest dependency relationships have been specified between the coping strategies (except for two of them) and basic hope.

(Nie)inni? – autostereotyp osób o orientacji homoseksualnej

Author(s): Sylwia Ryszawy / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2023

The aim of the article is to present the self-stereotype of people with homosexual orientation. For this purpose, the study involved the application of the Twenty Statements Test developed by Manford Kuhn, used to describe oneself and perceive oneself. The theoretical basis for the considerations is the theory of biculturalism in relation to the acquisition of identity by a minority group. It shows the process of acquiring „biculturalism” by people with homosexual orientation, which proceeds in the opposite direction than in ethnic groups. 90 people of homosexual orientation participated in the study. The research material was collected using the snowball method. The respondents described themselves primarily in terms of groups and categories, and the research results indicate three pillars of their identity: sexual orientation, gender, sense of being human. The statements of the respondents also highlight the difficulties they face due to their sexual orientation – stereotypes, discrimination, social exclusion. The article shows homosexual people as perceiving their „otherness”, while pointing to their broad interests, passions, positive character traits, as well as negative attitudes of society towards this group and their possible consequences.

Author(s): Klaudia Czyszczoń,Robert Dębski,Magdalena Knapek / Language(s): English Issue: 7/2023

The inability to communicate fluently is often accompanied by strong emotions: anger, frustration, shame and fear, however, it is not the rule. Experiencing stuttering is highly dependent on individual characteristics and personality traits. Emotional experiences of people who stutter are increasingly subject to analysis. Notwithstanding, there is a noticeable deficit of research concerning the experiences of people who stutter in daily contact with music, especially on the opera stage, hence the text presents a description of the opera singer’s career and experiences.

БРАЧНО-СЕМЕЙНЫЕ ПРЕДСТАВЛЕНИЯ СТУДЕНЧЕСКОЙ МОЛОДЕЖИ: ПО РЕЗУЛЬТАТАМ АВТОРСКОГО ИССЛЕДОВАНИЯ

Author(s): Tamara K. Rostovskaya,Alexandra A. Shabunova,Olga N. Kalachikova / Language(s): Russian Issue: 3/2023

Based on the authors’ sociological research, the article outlines the main characteristics of the motivational and value components of creating a family in the views of student youth in modern Russian society. The key barriers that hinder the creation of a student family are identified. They include: persistent ideas about the need to achieve socio-economic maturity, the spread of an orientation towards testing relationships, the combination of romanticization of feelings in ideas about the foundations of the family and a sober assessment of the material resources necessary to ensure it, destruction of the value of chastity and the creation of a couple for life.

GEŠTALT PSIHOTERAPIJSKI RAD SA LGBTIQ POPULACIJOM

Author(s): Aleksandra Friedrich / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 10/2023

Considering the concepts and theoretical frameworks of Gestalt therapy, psychotherapists of this direction should lead the way in understanding and innovation when working with issues of gender and sexual identity. Without a critical awareness of the dominant narratives that shape our understanding of gender, therapists will be limited in their work. It can be difficult for heterosexual therapists to see and understand gender dysmorphia, thereby denying the client space to express different experiences. The general pattern of expectations of LGBTIQ clients from psychotherapists includes special knowledge, attitudes and skills in which gay-affirmative attitudes take center stage, understanding the effects of homophobia, overcoming internalized homophobia, not focusing on the client's sexuality (unless he wants it), as well as knowing the appropriate terminology. Fear of violence and a deep feeling of basic insecurity mark the existence of LGBTIQ people in Serbia. It can rightly be said that violence (physical, verbal, psychological) and fear of discrimination in many ways direct the lives of LGBTIQ people here. The advantage of knowing the developmental models of LGBTIQ identity is that locating the client in one of them can make his behavior understandable and predictable, and at different stages clients may need different types of support. The answer to the question of what would be the specialty of working with LGBTIQ people is less in what the therapy formally looks like, and more in the therapist's openness to an encounter in which the devastating effect of rejection and threats from the environment is recognized.

Емоционалната интелигентност като фактор за формиране личността на лидера в общинската администрация на територията на Република България

Author(s): Nadia Mironova,Loreta Traykova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2023

This article aims to investigate and present emotional intelligence as a factor that influences the formation of the leader’s image on the example of the municipal administration in the Republic of Bulgaria. The study draws on data from an online survey among the mayors in the municipalities on the territory of the Republic of Bulgaria, as well as the regional mayors of the cities of Sofia, Plovdiv and Varna. The survey started in June 2022 and ended in September 2023, and at the time of writing the responses of 57 of the mayors have been received. In this article, emphasis is placed on one of the questionnaires used in the study. It includes 30 questions and is aimed at measuring the level of emotional intelligence of the surveyed mayors. The methods which are applied for the data analysis are descriptive statistics, calculation of mean values, correlation analysis and testing of statistical hypotheses. The analysis identifies the mean values of emotional intelligence in general, as well as separately by gender criteria. A comparative analysis is made between the obtained results on the mean values of emotional intelligence of the investigated mayors, as representatives of the local self-government (public administration), and the data from a survey conducted with the same questionnaire in business organizations. Based on the observed mean values of emotional intelligence of the mayors, a profile can be built through which the candidates for public positions can be selected. In the future, a relationship between emotional intelligence and leadership can be investigated, as well as a relationship between the emotional intelligence coefficient and the mayor’s personal qualities, their reflection on the financial and economic indicators of the respective municipality/district, the mandate and performance of the mayor and the municipality/district in the public space.

REDUCING EATING DISORDERS THROUGH EXPERIENTIAL PSYCHOTHERAPY: A CASE STUDY OF ANOREXIA NERVOSA

Author(s): Narcisa Gianina Caranfil / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

Over the last decades; the prevalence of eating disorders has increased dramatically. In the current psychiatric nomenclature of the DSM-5 [2]; the eating disorders consist of three clearly defined syndromes; i.e. anorexia nervosa; bulimia nervos and binge-eating disorder. The onset of the most clinical cases occurs in adolescence or young adulthood. Data provided by psychiatric practice reveal that eating disorders occur more frequently in women; compared with men. These disorders appear to be multidetermined. Thus; the risk for (or protection against) the development of eating disorders resides in several factors; i.e. genetic; neurohormonal; family; psychological and sociocultural. Negative life events can also play a triggering role. Anorexia nervosa is a debilitating mental disorder with profound biological; psychological and social consequences. Although the overall incidence rate of anorexia nervosa is considerably stable over the past decades; the incidence among adolescents has increased. Different types of psychotherapeutic interventions (e.g.; family-based therapy; cognitive-behavioral therapy; dialectical behavior therapy; interpersonal therapy; etc.) are used to treat eating disorders. However; the benefits of experiential techniques (e.g.; emotion-focused therapy or gestalt therapy) have been less explored. This paper focuses on a 19-year-old adolescent girl presenting with symptoms of anorexia nervosa. The complaints; results of the initial assessment; goals of the therapeutic sessions; working techniques as well as gains of the intervention based on experiential methods (e.g.; the empty chair technique; metapositions; cognitive reframing; etc.) are reviewed. Practical implications are discussed considering the potential of experiential psychotherapy in assisting clients with eating disorders.

DIMENSIONS OF RELATIONSHIP ON THE BACKGROUND OF MIGRATION. THE CASE OF MOLDOVAN ADOLESCENTS ROOTED IN ITALY

Author(s): Tatiana Roșca / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

Sentimental relationships; according to migration studies; are considered to be the calling card for the integration of immigrants through their children; who; being socialized through the cultural model of the host country; would have more possibilities and predispositions towards relations with the natives; accelerating; in this way; the process of ethnic openness and acceptance of immigrants by the host society. The present work reflects the sentimental tendencies of Moldovan immigrant adolescents from Italy; which derive from parental influences and cultural affiliation. Furthermore; it highlights the dynamics of hypothetical partners' choices; especially when speaking of relational integration in the context of migration.

ANXIETATE ȘI STIL EDUCAȚIONAL AL MAMELOR COPIILOR CU DIZABILITĂȚI

Author(s): Svetlana RUSNAC,Ala STRATAN / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2023

The problems of the families that educate children with disabilities have been attracting more and more attention over the last decades. Especially the relatioinships between the parents and the child and the educational style in such families are studied. Parent’s educational style is influenced by socio-cultural traditions; by the child’s clinical and psychological state; by the handicap’s ethology that influence the early contact between the child and the parents; especially mother; by the way the adults are communicating; and; most importantly; by the parent’s character. The relevance of the topic that is to be reported is created by the lack of research of the dependencies between the educational style and the parent’s anxiety; especially mother’s anxiety. The base hypothesis we verified: mother’s anxiety correlates with the chosen educational style. The research represents a comparative study with two groups of subjects: 30 mothers of children with disabilities – the experimental group; and a control group that consisted of 30 mothers with healthy children; both having completed 2 methods: 1) State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI); 2) The Varga-Stolin method diagnosis of parental style. Three operational hypotheses were checked during the research. Hypothesis 1: Mothers of handicapped children have a higher anxiety level when compared to the mothers of healthy children. Even though the mothers of disabled children had a higher anxiety-state; the control group had a higher anxiety-trait; statistical comparison not showing considerable differences. The hypothesis was disproved. For both groups anxiety-state was low; anxiety-trait being moderately present in the experimental group and moderate to high in the control group. Hypothesis 2: There are different educational styles; depending on whether the child is handicapped or not. The analysis of the results showed that the control group had more pronounced attitudes of rejection; uncertainty and infantilization; and the experimental – the attitude of symbiosis; and almost equal when it came to the styles that involved cooperation and moderate control. One significant difference was spotted after the statistical analysis – that of the mean value for acceptance-rejection (p<0.02). The hypothesis was partially confirmed. Hypothesis 3. Anxiety directly corelates with educational styles that are not favorable for the child’s development and vice versa for those that are beneficial. To verify it we used the Pearson correlation test. The results showed: a) a negative relationship between anxiety-trait and educational attitudes of acceptance (p=0.05) and cooperation (p<0.05); which denotes the unfavorable role of anxiety in promoting mother-child parity relationships; a positive relationship between anxiety-trait and attitudes of control and infantilization; which illustrates the fact that fears; apprehensions; distrust ruin the child's ability to give autonomy; to treat him as an equal. Even though the reserch’s results are quite favourable; some problems with the relationship between a child with disabilities and their mother were found: the medical model being more prioritised rather than the social one; the informing of parents about the favourablee relationships and educational style being insufficient; the vulnerabilty of families and the stereotypical view upon handicaps; etc.
