Haverian Therapy

    
     Historical Development

            I was inspired in this therapy when we tackle it in one of our subject in early childhood.  I thought it is very helpful to those children who are shy and have low self esteem.  I also is a shy type student and have a low self-confidence. I want to help those students who are experiencing this type of problem.  I know I can help them by the use of this therapy which very similar to Adlerian Therapy.


      View of Human Nature

        

             As stated in Adlerian approach, " Individuals experience a sense of inferiority. "  Children are shy and prefer to be quiet than to express their feelings or to recite inside the classroom.  They feel that their classmates who always reciting is superior to them and they think if they recite their answer is wrong and they are afraid that their classmates will laugh at them.  Usually these children is also inferior to their home or they don't develop their speaking skills and even their self-confidence.  

      
      Development of Maladaptive Behavior

              When these children grow up, they will feel that they can't do anything for themselves.  They will let other people to manipulate and decide for them because they think the best for them is what other are saying to them.  Without trying to solve this problem and without thinking that they can do to change themselves, it can result to lack of responsibility and it low their self-confidence.

    
    Function of the Therapist

• catalyst
• supporter
• motivator
• counselor's energy is invested in encouraging the client

    
     Goals of Therapy

1. To encourage children who are shy to express their feelings and to participate in different activities and even to recite
2. To overcome their shyness and to develop their self confidence 

      Major Methods and Techniques

1. Initiating the Therapeutic Relationship

               Encouragement the ultimate goal is to share and analyze the private logic of the clients, and to persuade them to accept responsibility for living as well as to change their self defeating behavior.

    2.   Lifestyle Investigation

                All of us have a unique life styles that enables us to compensate for inferiority feelings and strive toward superiority.  Each of us develops a unique pattern of behavior, characteristics, and habits that help us reach our goal.

    3.  Birth Order

                 The position of the child within the family, as well as the atmosphere of the family, plays a significant role in the client's development and behavior.  It includes descriptions of each person in the family, their perspective personalities, their relationships with each other, and the family's dynamics of interpersonal power and influence.

     4.  Developing Self-understanding

                   Such insight requires both encouragement and confrontation.  It is general tone of encouragement  set during the rapport-building stage of therapy that allows the practitioner to confront the client's about their goals and behavior

     5.  Reorientation

                    The practitioner identifies with and reveals the counselees'  failed patterns of thinking, feeling, and acting.  Once the client decide on the kind of person they want to become and the kinds of relationships they wish to establish, they can begin to shift from insight to practice.

      
         Application

                
                When Cris is still a child, she play with her playmates outside their house.  When the time comes that her parents need to send her to school, her father and other family members taught her how to read and luckily, she learned how to read.  Her father always tell to her to read and read and she will learn a lot of things especially academics.  Her father didn't notice that she also needs to enhance her skills in speaking.  All of them and even her didn't notice or didn't aware of this.  She is also a quiet girl  in the school and even in their house.  She didn't tell to his parents or she is shy to say the things she want except in material things.  She was practice and grow that even she didn't say something that she want, the people around her will provide or give what she want.  Because of this, she find a hard time to answer even she know the answer when it comes in recitation or even when the teacher asks questions.  During elementary and high school days, she is not active in extra curricular activities in school, she was practice to excel inside the classroom only thats why she have a low self-confidence.  She didn't develop her self esteem.  Her parents instill in her mind only to read and not to enhance her speaking skills and her social skills.

   E. Theoretical Framework

        

Child Client Behavior	Concepts, Principles and      Theory of Learning	Description
·         He likes to play with girls rather than with boys ·         He can answer to my questions right away if he know the answer ·         He make revenge to his bullies and he entertain who he feels kind to him ·         Easily get annoy and irritate ·         He likes me much because of a reward I always given to him after the observation	·         Psychosocial  theory – Identity VS Role confusion ·         Knowledge acquisition ·         Principle of Opposites ·         Sensitivity ·         Operant Conditioning – positive reinforcement	·         Because of bullying of his classmates in the school especially boys, my client child decided to play with girls who didn’t bully him ·         It shows that, if a child learned something he can absorb and use it and vice versa ·         In order to have a concept of good, one must have a concept of bad ·         This is one of the childhood  characteristic that we can see to them ·         My client child perform much if there’s a reward

    F. Prognosis
                  
             Bullying is common in preschool and elementary thats why those student who are victims of bully decided not to go to school anymore.  In the case of my client child, he make revenge to his bullies and he also decided to choose his friends even to his siblings to be his friend or playmate.  There is nothing to worry about his skills but to his behavior that can affect his adult life or in his relationship towards other people.  He can be aggressive but I am thankful because I can prevent it, he listens to me and he also likes me to talk to him.

                  I recommend that the family continue to consult his future teacher about the bullies of his son.  Not to ignore those children who bully him and always monitor the improvement of his son.  Attend a holy mass every sunday with the whole family.


   L. Implication to Education and Assessment of Young Children

             This case study is very helpful in assessing the behavior of child/children.  It helps to know what kind of intervention which is applicable or fits their mistaken behavior or problem.  It helps us, future educators to mold a child to become a well rounded person.  It helps us to solve different mistaken behaviors of the children where the parents difficult to solve and to those mistaken behaviors that they are not aware that their children have.

              The new perspective is, it is not enough for the teachers just to observe and talk to the parents about the problem of their child but to have an observation and collaboration to the parents not in a short period of time but in a long process to make sure that the child is well assess.

Happy Thoughts

After having a big problem, depression, sorrow and grief. Happy thoughts can helps us to overcome these things. It gives us hope, to face tomorrow and live again like we didn't experience the different challenges in life.

For me, happy thoughts it involves GOD, my family and my friends.

GOD because he always give me everything I need that I don't expect not only the basic needs but especially all the people around me that makes my life complete and full of happiness.

FAMILY because even I leave them, they are always there for me, to forgive me and accept all my mistakes and give me a chance to change myself like what GOD always do to every man.

FRIENDS because when I have problems, they are also always there to give me advice, also give me encouraging words and words of wisdom. When I'm with them my world turns and the happiness I feel, I can't explain. All I know is I'm very happy.


I don't need to say or write each happy thoughts that I have or experience because for me all of my happy thoughts is THEM. They are the pieces of puzzles that makes me happy. No one can replace the happiness I feel when I'm with them. All of the happy memories and happy thoughts of my life is them. They all know what is the best for me.
