E. theoretical framework

WILLIAM JAMES, REMARKS

Everyone knows what attention is. It is the taking possession by the mind, in clear and vivid form, of one out of what seem several simultaneously possible objects or trains of thought. Focalization, concentration, of consciousness are of its essence. It implies withdrawal from some things in order to deal effectively with others, and is a condition which has a real opposite in the confused, dazed, scatterbrained state which in French is called distraction, and Zerstreutheit in German.^[3]

F. Prognosis

Based on the data that i have gathered from the people around my client. I think my client is not so bad maybe because of being the youngest among the sibling it is what contributes to her behavior and maybe because she is the lolo's favorite grand daughter perhaps we can consider his fact that contributes to her misbehavior.the bullying way of treating others around her especially her other siblings and classmates that takes her into trouble sometimes I said just a while ago that my client is that so bad it is because she can take responsibilities perhaps that responsibilities leads her to become an individual whose bossy and sometimes it is mis interpreted by other people around her.in addition to that she is known as one of the helpful among the members of their family according to her grand father. I think it was not really her intension to hurt someone or to grab things without permission she might be an attention seeker that seeks for the attention of the people around her because she has exercised that treatment from her lolo.

G. Therapeutic Plan 

Solutions

G1.Knowledge Building

At the end of the case the client child must be given an appraisal because she is good in academics, communication and many more, but make it sure that appraisal will be helpful for the child and will  not lead to a building up of an another behavior,

G2 Skills Building

Because the child according to some people around her like her mom, that her child is helping her to some households shores. the child must be given a an appreciation because she has this skills to help other people around her, socials skills is still need to be developed is that because the child is having difficulties to work and to deal with the other people around her. it was stated in the above information that her bossy attitude arises sometimes, the child needs develop how to be humble because to much of the bossy attitude will lead to be misunderstood by others.

G3.Attitude Building

according to the people around her the child sometimes steals the things of her classmates the child I think must be given an enough understanding and attention from her father, because maybe this is one of the factor that we can consider why this child is behaving in that way she needs to be taught that stealing is a mortal sin that will lead her into jail if she will do it again and again, she must also need to be taught to respect other people around her so she will not tease her other siblings and classmates. perhaps the treatment of her lolo is one of the factor why this child is having this misbehavior, because she  has exercised that she can get whatever she wants because her lolo she maybe thinking that everything she does will make her lolo proud and happy without knowing that it could might hurt other people.

H.Therapeutic intervention

I.Therapeutic Progress

J.Therapeutic Result

when i conducted the activities together with her playmates, classmates and other people around It had been a great help to me because of that i diagnosed my client on what kind of misbehavior she has. according to her mom she is a bit naughty but as we go along to the process i noticed that little by little my client was changing
and her mom is happy for that. because of that i diagnosed my client as an attention seeker because she got accustomed her self with so much attention that she receives  from her grand father. as we play together I noticed that she was so happy and she was not Aggressive like what her mother keeps on telling me. she is a good girl thats how I used to know her. she was just not given a good model to imitate neither a guidelines to be followed if ever they commit mistakes.

K.Summary

My client Christina Ramirez a doughtier of Mr. and Mrs. Ramirez is a five year old kid female who is studying in Kabukiran day care center who is said aggressive and being accused of stealing. I met my client Christina Ramirez by her mother, her mother is my mom's costumer that introduced me to my client.
My client is a good student she knows how to express herself to others, she can also communicate well, she can also be given some little task in house hold. I diagnosed her as an attention seeker because her parents are not always around to watch them and they are just being entrusted to their grand father. I concluded that my client is an attention seeker because of some factors the environment, the family setting, the the grand father and the school this factors are the reason why my client Christina Ramirez is miss behaving like that.

I. think what leads the child to act that way is that because her father is not around and it was her lolo who is available to act a father features for her, it it maybe what leads her to steal others things because while her mother is working there is no available person around her to teach her and maybe because she is the younghest among the siblings will also leads her to become an attention seeker she is might seeking for her fathers attention and her mother attentions and just because most of the times she was just with her lolo and her other siblings it was just her lolo that cold give her the attention that she is seeking for and maybe because she is feeling not belong to her other siblings could also be consider. she has not enough guidance to follow, we can also consider the environment as one of the factor why is acting that way, it was stated above that she was studying in kabukiran. because she belongs to marginalized family her environment is not that good for her. in relation to that you can see her most of the time outside their house playing with different children.. but after all i was impressed with this child because though she does not belong to a good family and a good environment she proved it to me even her teacher that she was good in class. she can express her self whenever she was asked... 

Recommendation

I recommend that the child needs some bonding moment with her mother and her father but unfortunately her bonding with her father would be impossible is that because her father is not around anymore, I also recommend that the child needs to be guided with the right person not her lolo. due because of her lolo and to the fact that she is the youngest these 2 factors are that possible factors for me that leads her to misbehave like that. The child must be given a concern citizen to guide her not just her but as well as her other siblings. I also recommending that the child must be given a good model to imitate and a good environment these 2 factors should also be consider why this child is misbehaving that way.

SUMMARY OF TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS

TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS (summary)

"The unit of social intercourse is called a transaction. If two or more people encounter each other... sooner or later one of them will speak, or give some other indication of acknowledging the presence of the others. This is called transactional stimulus. Another person will then say or do something which is in some way related to the stimulus, and that is called thetransactional response."3


With this definition, Dr. Berne defined the basic unit of analysis. At its simplest level,Transactional Analysis is the method for studying interactions between individuals. By identifying and standardizing upon a single unit, development and promotion of this theory was easily facilitated. Psychotherapists were able to read about Berne's theories and test them out in their own practices. Dr. Thomas Harris stated in I'm OK - You're OK that in Transactional Analysis, "we have found a new language of psychology."


It should be noted that this approach was profoundly different than that of Freud. While Freud and most other psychotherapists took the rather simplistic approach of asking the patient about themselves, Berne took an alternate approach to therapy. Berne felt that a therapist could learn what the problem was by simply observing what was communicated (words, body language, facial expressions) in a transaction. So instead of directly asking the patient questions, Berne would frequently observe the patient in a group setting, noting all of the transactions that occurred between the patient and other individuals.


Berne's Three Ego States


In addition to the analysis of the interactions between individuals, Transactional Analysis also involves the identification of the ego states behind each and every transaction. Berne defined an ego state as "a consistent pattern of feeling and experience directly related to a corresponding consistent pattern of behavior."4


As a practicing psychiatrist in Carmel, California in the early 1950s, Berne treated hundreds of patients. During the course of their treatment, he consistently noted that his patients, and indeed all people, could and would change over the course of a conversation. The changes would not necessarily be verbal - the changes could involve facial expressions, body language, body temperature, and many other non-verbal cues.


In one counseling session, Berne treated a 35 year old lawyer. During the session, the lawyer (a male) said "I'm not really a lawyer; I'm just a little boy." But outside the confines of Dr. Berne's office, this patient was a successful, hard-charging, attorney. Later, in their sessions, the lawyer would frequently ask Dr. Berne if he was talking "to the lawyer or the little boy." Berne was intrigued by this, as he was seeing a single individual display two "states of being." Berne began referring to these two states as "Adult" and "Child." Later, Berne identified a third state, one that seemed to represent what the patient had observed in his parents when he was small. Berne referred to this as "parent." As Berne then turned to his other patients, he began to observe that these three ego states were present in all of them. As Berne gained confidence in this theory, he went on to introduce these in a 1957 paper - one year before he published his seminal paper introducing Transactional Analysis.


Berne ultimately defined the three ego states as: Parent, Adult, and Child. It should be carefully noted that the descriptions of these ego states do NOT necessarily correspond to their common definitions as used the English language.


Before describing each of the three ego states, it is important to note that these are fundamentally different than Freud's Ego, Id, and Superego. Berne describes this best when he writes in Transactional Analysis in Psychotherapy:


"It will be demonstrated that Parent, Adult, and Child are not concepts, like Superego, Ego, and Id, or the Jungian constructs, but phenomenological realities."5 Stated another way, Freud's ego states are unobservable, theoretical states; but Berne's three ego states can be confirmed with observable behaviors.


The following are detailed descriptions of the three ego states:


Parent - The parent represents a massive collection of recordings in the brain of externalevents experienced or perceived in approximately the first five years of life. Since the majority of the external events experienced by a child are actions of the parent, the ego state was appropriately called Parent. Note that events perceived by the child from individuals that are NOT parents (but who are often in parent-like roles) are also recorded in the Parent. When Transactional Analysts refer to the Parent ego state (as opposed to a biological or stepparent), it is capitalized. The same goes for the other two state (Adult and Child)

Examples of recordings in the Adult include:

· "Never talk to strangers"

· "Always chew with your mouth closed"

· "Look both ways before you cross the street"

It is worth noting that, while recording these events, the young child has no way to filter the data; the events are recorded without question and without analysis. One can consider that these events are imposed on the child.


There are other data experienced by the child that are not recorded in the Parent. This is recorded in the Adult, which will be described shortly.


Child - In contrast to the Parent, the Child represents the recordings in the brain of internalevents associated with external events the child perceives. Stated another way, stored in the Child are the emotions or feelings which accompanied external events. Like the Parent, recordings in the Child occur from childbirth all the way up to the age of approximately 5 years old.


Examples of recordings in the Child include:


· "When I saw the monster's face, I felt really scared"


· "The clown at the birthday party was really funny!


Adult - The Adult is the last ego state. Close to one year of age, a child begins to exhibit gross motor activity. The child learns that he or she can control a cup from which to drink, that he or she can grab a toy. In social settings, the child can play peek-a-boo.

This is the beginning of the Adult in the small child. Adult data grows out of the child's ability to see what is different than what he or she observed (Parent) or felt (Child). In other words, the Adult allows the young person to evaluate and validate Child and Parental data. Berne describes the Adult as being "principally concerned with transforming stimuli into pieces of information, and processing and filing that information on the basis of previous experience"6 Stated another way, Harris describes the Adult as "a data-processing computer, which grinds out decisions after computing the information from three sources: the Parent, the Child, and the data which the adult has gathered and is gathering"7

One of the key functions of the Adult is to validate data in the parent. An example is:

"Wow. It really is true that pot handles should always be turned into the stove" said Sally as she saw her brother burn himself when he grabbed a pot handle sticking out from the stove.

In this example, Sally's Adult reached the conclusion that data in her Parent was valid. Her Parent had been taught "always turn pot handles into the stove, otherwise you could get burned." And with her analysis of her brother's experience, her Adult concluded that this was indeed correct.

In an attempt to explain Transactional Analysis to a more mainstream audience, Dr. Thomas Harris developed the following summary. Although this is a very good tool for beginners to learn, keep in mind that this a wildly simplified approach, and can have the effect of "dumbing down" Transactional Analysis. The summary is as follows:


Parent - taught concept
Child - felt concept
Adult - learned concept

But not all transactions proceed in this manner. Some transactions involve ego states other than the Adult.

This leads us to Parent - Child transactions, which are almost as simple as Adult-Adult transactions. Quoting Dr. Berne in Games People Play: "The fevered child asks for a glass of water, and the nurturing mother brings it."8 In this, the Child of small child directs an inquiry to the Parent of his/her mother. The Parent of the mother acknowledges this stimuli, and then gives the water to the child. In this example, the small child's request is the stimuli, and the parent providing the water is the response.


One of the tools used by a TA practitioner is a structural diagram, as represented on the left. A structural diagram represents the complete personality of any individual. It includes the Parent, Adult, and Child ego states, all separate and distinct from each other.

Transactional Analysts will then construct a diagram showing the ego states involved in a particular transaction. The transaction to the right shows a Parent - Child transaction, with the Child ego state providing the transactional stimulus, and the Adult responding with the transactional response.

This transaction matches the Parent - Child example listed above, with the fevered child asking his/her mother for a glass of water.

So far, the two transactions described can be considered complementary transactions. In a complementary transaction, the response must go back from the receiving ego state to the sending ego state. For example, a person may initiate a transaction directed towards one ego state of the respondent. The respondent's ego state detects the stimuli, and then that particular ego state (meaning the ego state to which the stimuli was directed) produces a response. According to Dr. Berne, these transactions are healthy and represent normal human interactions. As Berne says in Games People Play "communication will proceed as long as transactions are complementary."9
