Journal of Psychology - JuniperPublishers Introduction Psychological and behavioral symptoms, such as self- injurious behavior (SIBs), can be the expression of an underlying disease entity, sometimes even previously unidentified. When possible, the best approach to self-injury for such individuals is to anticipate the possibilities of these complications long before they actually occur by preventing or ameliorating the disease entity itself. Many diseases of the central nervous system that have self-injury are the symptomatic expression of impaired common final pathways, pathways likely altered well before birth in most cases. The abnormal functions begins to show up as the individual's brain grows, connecting and pruning (or failing to prune) essential developmental pathways. Unfortunately, in the majority of these individuals, the detection of the precise medical mechanism of action in the central nervous system that causes the underlying disease entity has not...

Journal of Psychology - JuniperPublishers Are you unhappy with your significant other at the moment? Above all, your romantic partner? Experiencing feelings of frustration, anger, or resentment from time to time when you feel unheard? Gottman (1999) maintains that it is normal as long as you don’t hold on to it or feel superior to your partner in any way. Holding on to anger is unhealthy. Forgive and move on.

Journal of Psychology - JuniperPublishers Introduction When we think about forgiveness we often think of something we confer on others- I forgive you. In truth we cannot forgive others without understanding our difficulties in forgiving ourselves. Forgiving oneself for addictive behavior is immensely difficult; alcohol, heroin or your drug of choice pulled you away from the world of the living. When you enter into a full time relationship with drugs your human relationships fade in importance. Addictions do this to people, regardless of who you are or where you came from. Do not allow your world to become narrow, for your shame and grief for the pain you have caused can make you avoid the very people you need the most. It is quite possible, if you are open to a process that involves acceptance of human frailty and imperfections, to forgive yourself. I have seen people return from the abyss of shame and guilt to a position of understanding and forgiveness thousands of time. Whe...

Journal of Psychology - JuniperPublishers Abstract Ronnie Solan, PhD identifies the difficulties of maintaining love relationships as having roots in childhood experiences. Solan views these difficulties as beginning between parent and child relationships, as continuing within couples, and then manifesting in the family. Infinite memory traces and childhood experiences profoundly impact our life as adults and couples. Some of them are related to love relationships, to intimacy, respectfulness of each other separateness etc., and others are related to frustrations, anger, injuries and trauma in the relationships. Spouses are repeatedly willing to destroy their love relations when they find themselves in such Narcissistic struggle linked to sensations of injury, jealousy or betrayal and unbearable otherness. How is it possible to avoid the destructiveness of partnerships and love relations that arise from intolerance of the other’s separateness and otherness and increase positive c...
