thank you for all those who have sent encouraging messages.... ..
two people have expressed their desire to take up masters degree course in this field....good. ....as it was not a money fetching field in the past, not many have ventured in this field....so not many researches done....so there is a great scope for research!... ..all theories are dating to 80s and 90...even 2004 etc....but in the years to come many will have problems related to mind....psychologis ts are saying that many IT professionals are approaching with body problems caused by the mind....due to recession probably.... .so, lot of scope for this profession.. ..most of us are 45 yrs old.....still at least 15 more active years to go....you can all do many researches and become great scientists! No jokes...i mean it!
another success is a person having a personality disorder and has been a pain for all bosses, peers and family members..... left out by others as 'thanni thelichhu vittaachu'.. ..has been in touch with me for quite some time....not knowing that he has got a personality disorder.... ..showed great symptoms of change and said he realised his mistakes and wants to change....after my lectures on personality disorders and related issues....this is the success for this field of science!...imagine the benefits.... ..his wife will not divorce....child will be happy...people around will be happy....more than all these he will self actualise and even achieve self transcendation!
if you have fever, loose motion etc there are visible symptoms like increase in temperature, blood pressure, swelling, pain etc which the individual himself can feel and go to the doctor.....
but a person having problem with the mind, will not know that he has a problem...only others will know....the individual also will not accept that he has a problem as in his perception he is right.....also deterioration of mind manifests as covert and overt behaviours and identifying them is difficult... .no other physical symptoms.... only behavioural changes..... ..also deterioration of the mind is a very slow process that only the significant people can identify through close association and observation. .....others cannot identify....
those who are asking....'what is the benefit in the organisational context'.... .the answer is here....
we all know that when a child is born it is only a 'human being'.....not a resource.... as it grows during the developmental process it learns a lot and slowly grows into a resource for the home, society and organisations. So, it graduates to a 'human resource' useful for home, society and organisations. For effectively handling this human resource.... .(with 100 rupees we can only bue limited things....with a piece of material we can only make limited things.....with a human resource we can make from 'nothing' to 'infinity'.. ..there are other advantage os human resource that it is long lasting, flexible, etc.....depending upon our management technique).. ...the concept of human resource management came up....i.e managing all the resources like skills, competencies etc to achieve the maximum..... psychology directly contributes towards this.....
one person has asked....if i have a problem...whom should i approach.... a psychologist. ...or a psychiatrist. ....or a general physician... .
the answer is.....if one person feels not clearly identifyable symptom....e. g pain all over the body and investigations reveal there is no physiological problem..... then it is a problem related to mind....a general physician can find out this....
body problems like abnormality in secretion of nero transmitter substances and endocrine substances generally lead to mind related problems, change in behaviours etc...for eg. depression.. ...in such cases go to psychiatrist. ....you need medication and counselling by a psychologist. ....so, you need to go to both the personnel... .psychiatrist will give suitable medicine and bring the secretions to balance....psycholo gist will help in correcting your behaviour... ..
if you have only developmental disorders... .i.e socially uncomfortable behaviours caused due to impacts of life cycle developmental processes... then you do not need medication.. ..you only need counselling by a psychologist. ....
so, clear now.....i know you will ask how to identify and clearly distinguish out of these three.....once we progress with the lessons you will be able to do this!
as the mail is becoming big, we will continue later....generally no one reads mails, and that too long mails....so, see you tomorrow....
with an interesting case study which happened yesterday... ..regarding why most of the working women and men feel disgusted with their career after 40 yrs of age......the science and theories behind it....how to correct etc....
regarding the continuation of personality. ...we will do it after this 'career psychology' mail......one of the email contact member has asked about this....so we will touch upon this topic and then catch up with personality issues.....
