In an increasingly fast-paced life and emotionally demanding world, people suffer more from stress, trauma, anxiety, and identity issues than ever. Talk therapies do work, but often for people who are sometimes not articulate enough to describe what they feel, the other routes can offer a much deeper healing experience. Creativity is that alternative. Art
Increased consideration of early intervention in schools has since become one of the most promising approaches to supporting children’s mental and emotional well-being. Emotional and behavioural disorders (EBD) affect a significant number of students worldwide, posing barriers to learning, socialisation, and indeed living full lives. Yet research continually established that early, well-designed interventions could lessen
Internally, we each possess a vast and intricate library-a repository of words, concepts, facts, and ideas collected throughout our lives. Psychologists and neuroscientists call such an internal library “semantic memory.” From this basis of understanding, one can recognise faces, understand speech, remember the dates of a historical event, and navigate the complicated web of everyday
Human beings are hardwired for connection. From infancy onward, we seek relationships that impart a sense of safety, value, and understanding. Central to this theory is attachment, pioneered in the mid-20th century by the British psychoanalyst John Bowlby. Bowlby’s work on attachment laid the foundation for what was to evolve into the Circle of Security-
One of the most powerful tools we develop as humans is our language ability. It is instrumental in how we connect with others, express our thoughts, and understand the world around us. But no one is born speaking. Language development begins from the moment a child is born. Its progression happens in stages, with each
Ageing is a global phenomenon, yet with it come problems that affect the emotional, psychological, and social elements of one’s life. Geriatric counselling is a group of psychotherapeutic treatments directed toward the mental health requirements of the elderly population. This takes into account several complexities, including losses, physical impairments, chronic illnesses, cognitive decline, and other
The concept of intelligence has for many years fascinated psychologists, educators, and philosophers. For many years, intelligence tests attempted to measure intelligence, and intelligence was thought to be a single ability of problem-solving skills and logical thinking. But this rather narrow view was shattered by Gardner’s new set of the Theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI)
Psychological research has given much attention to factors that affect mental health conditions. However, over the years, various psychological models have been used to explain psychological disorders, which include the biological model (Schwartz & Corcoran, 2010), psychodynamic model (Strieker & Gold, 1988), cognitive-behavioural model (Hofmann, 2014), and the humanistic-existential model (Frankl, 2024). In addition to these, the
Often regarded as the peak of love and commitment, marriage is celebrated with much joy and high aspirations. Still, the post-wedding trip or post-marital life presents difficulties. In adapting to shared responsibilities, varied family dynamics, job demands, intimacy problems, or maybe evolving personal objectives have become important sources of stress, misunderstanding, and unhappiness. In such
While sometimes emotions are subtle or overwhelming, children do not always know how to put them into words. Just as adults sometimes need to talk through their problems, sometimes it works for children to express themselves in the language they know best: play. Play therapy uses a structured and theoretically based approach through the medium
