Week 8

We will finish our analysis of Richard's personality for the first half of the lesson, so continue on with whichever parts you haven't completed.

Presentation: Humanistic Theory of Personality

We will finish the presentation from last lesson.

Activity: Write a Humanistic analysis of Richard's personality. You may want to do some additional research (i.e. read the wikipedia entry for the character).

Video: Carl Rogers and Gloria

As we watch the video, consider how Rogers tries to help the patient to change her personality (in ways that she wishes to change).

Video: Self-Concept vs. Self-Esteem

Activity: Brainstorm with your table to define self-concept and self-esteem. Write down as many things as you can think of that help you explain it.

We will then discuss as a class.

Next, brainstorm with your table again the following:

• How does self-esteem and self-concept develop, and who contributes to this development?

• How do values and morals fit into self-esteem and self-concept?

• Advantages of a good self-image.

We will then discuss again.

Finally, brainstorm your ideal self. You can do this on your own, and keep this private, there will be no requirement to share!
