That's a very interesting idea, thanks for sharing! Out of curiosity, do you have a psychology/neuroscience background?

@PatsPsychologyMSc I wish ! Neurology and psychology are some of my interests/passions ! :D I have no post secondary education yet, I just started studying massage therapy in college :)

@@jennanelson5453 no doubt you will fly through your Massage Therapy course with your critical thinking! Thanks for commenting ❤️

Delighted to see that @pollyjaneit, thank you for commenting!

Thanks for your comment @profmartinCA10! I would consider grounded theory and thematic analysis to be approaches to data analysis, both falling under an exploratory research design. NVIVO can certainly facilitate both grounded theory and thematic analysis. However, if your dataset is small, or your using grounded theory/thematic analysis for a college assignment as opposed to a larger research study, it might be best to stick with simpler rools like Word/Excel. Does this answer your questions?

@@PatsPsychologyMSc Absolutely! Thank you.

Thanks so much for commenting! Out of curiosity, I'd love to know the topic of your dissertation?

You're very welcome! May I ask what brought you to the video?

Hi @wakeupandflow! I appreciate your thoughtful comments and engagement with the video. Let's dive into your questions: 1. Regarding organismic valuing, I think they're might be a fundamental difference of opinion here between us. I think that nothing is beyond the scientific realm, and everything can be tested using scientific methods. Perhaps falsifiability is the wrong scientific tool for the job here, but ultimately I am convinced that Roger's personality theory can be comprehensively assessed using scientific inquiry. Relatedly, I think that introspection and phenomenological realities are within the scientific realm. 2. Concerning UPR, core conditions and ABA, I attempted to highlight the clash between behaviourist approaches (focused more on external behaviors) and humanistic principles (emphasizing internal processes and subjective experience). Do you see any conflict here? 3. You touch on "the hard problem of consciousness" here, beyond the scope of this video (and indeed my expertise!!) I would be curious to hear your own thoughts here. Thank you for your considered questions! Curious to hear your further thoughts.

Thanks @Olechver!

I guess that's one way of putting it! I think there are some good hypotheses though. Are you convinced by any of them?

Hi there! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughtful insights. It's great to hear your perspective on the points discussed in the video. You mentioned the analogy with brain tumours, and I understand your point that different therapeutic approaches have their specialties. However, my criticism of PCT centres on how much of the theory relies on semantics and subjectivity. The criticism here isn't intended to be specifically about PCT's ability to treat tumours, but rather about how the theory's terminology and concepts can sometimes be vague and open to interpretation - which I guess is how I ended up talking about something as abstract as a brain tumour. For instance, the notion of "organismic self" can be seen as quite abstract and subjective. It's not always easy to pin down precisely what it means or how it manifests in practical therapy - hence the example of children’s food choices. This level of subjectivity can be a challenge when trying to apply PCT consistently in different therapeutic contexts. Regarding conditions of worth, some consider PCT's emphasis on unconditional positive regard as an oversimplification of complex psychological dynamics, and I think this is an important argument. While it may be beneficial in some cases, it may not always provide the most effective guidance for all individuals, especially those with diverse needs and backgrounds - which you allude to nicely. I feel that while PCT has its merits and is a valuable approach for many, its reliance on a practitioner’s perspective leads to limitations and challenges in its application. Disclaimer: I’m currently a trainee psychotherapist in the humanistic modality so I certainly see its strong points! Although, I find it crucial to maintain a critical eye and consider various perspectives when evaluating its effectiveness - an approach I wish to bring to my own therapeutic practice. What do you reckon? Lastly, your tone is respectful and constructive, and I sincerely appreciate your engagement. It's through conversations like these that we can gain a deeper understanding of these concepts. So thank you again for sharing your two cents! 😊

I'm delighted you found it so useful! Best of luck wrapping up your dissertation! May I ask what topic you're covering?

Thanks Bernadette! As I understand it, the Neureka app can continue to be used by people struggling with compulsivity post-psychotherapy. Also, many people pursue psychotherapy in an open-ended way, so there may not be an "after psychotherapy" for some people! Consider visiting your GP... do you ever "finish" seeing your GP? Cognitive behavioural therapy always ranks highly as a treatment for compulsions, but it is difficult to pin down what the most effective therapy will be for a particular individual. Individuals will always respond differently to different forms of therapy, so it can be hard to recommend a specific form of therapy without knowing the specifics about the person seeking treatment.

Ah that's brilliant Mohai! I'm delighted I was able to synthesis grounded theory and thematic analysis literature into a presentation for you. May I ask what the topic of your masters thesis is?

On the money Snippets! Left is really right but right is just right, kinda!

Thanks Richard, I'm glad you enjoyed the episode! Did you find yourself strongly agreeing/disagreeing at particular points in my presentation?

Thanks for your feedback Tlangelani!

Delighted you found it helpful Stav! I'd love to know how you discovered the video?

@@PatsPsychologyMSc I study psychology and I have a test in social psychology and I searched for a video on the fundamental attribution error

@@stavberman1620 brilliant, thanks so much for the heads up Stav! I hope you find my other videos helpful for your Psychology degree!

Thanks for commenting Coco! Graduating from a degree in neuroscience is a challenging task. However, I think if someone has a positive attitude towards learning, along with some quality support, they have a very good starting point!

Thanks Bally! Did you find the somatic twist hypothesis convincing?

@@PatsPsychologyMSc I'm afraid it's the only hypothesis I know of paha (thanks to you). And it does sound reasonable (and cool, how it boils down to the twisting of the neck motion). So I'll go with it until I find another reasonable hypothesis and then weigh up which one survives greater scrutiny.

@@BallyBoy95 that's a good and scientific way to look at it Bally! It's the most convincing argument I've found. Maybe I'll make a new episode if I find another compelling explanation!

You're very welcome Sean, delighted it helped!

Thank you so much! That sounds like a fascinating area of research. May I ask what have been your most interesting findings concerning religious trauma and Evangelicalism? I'd love to learn more about them!

Thanks man!

You're very welcome, thanks for your comment! I love helping people through my channel. Did you find this video or the Rogerian critique more helpful?

@@PatsPsychologyMSc I’m just about to watch the critique video and I’m expecting it to be as enlightening as the last. Have forwarded this to all on the course too. This is a public service that you offer I would say 👍

@@lukeyduke9732 ah brilliant! Thank you so much for sharing! My wish is to reach a point where I can devote more resources to each episode, increasing production value and helping a larger audience, so that really means a lot. I hope you nail your assignment!

Thanks triple J! Credit to Ralph and his colleagues in the Dockree lab, and indeed further afield

Thanks Snippets, props to Ralph, he's an amazing communicator! Absolutely, what blew me away was learning that the point in the breath cycle at which an action is executed can be predictive of the action's success. Really fascinating research!

What a lovely comment Allybueh, thank you!

Ah brilliant! Delighted you found the video useful. You're very welcome!

Very interesting perspective John, thanks a million for sharing! I don't know if I'm convinced that natural selection would cause such hemispheric separation. Similarly, I'm not sure if this idea explains the location of, for example, our liver. Maybe I'm not thinking it through properly! I'd love to know where you heard this argument?

Thanks Peekay! Did you know about this link before?

Thanks Axel! Subscribe to my channel to learn my first name!

A general introduction video that rise interest in the topic and gives a big picture of it is exactly what I needed.

Delighted you found this discussion useful Steven, thanks for commenting! I've lots of similar content on my channel if you're looking for similar videos. Are there any other psychology topics you've struggled to find on RUclips?

Always wonderful to hear people finding my content so useful... Thank you so much Doug for letting me know! Best of luck in your studies! Out of curiosity, may I ask what your topic of research is?

@@PatsPsychologyMSc I am researching the fall in the number of men playing grassroots 11 aside football. I’ve been involved in local football in the East Riding of Yorkshire for almost 58 years (not a young researcher) and have chosen TA as the research method to best seek patterns from my 20 interviewees (two focus groups and 11 individual participants).

@@dougwaterson1647 Really cool! Certainly an area of inquiry I would not be even remotely familiar with. Delighted to hear that the research is being done, and that you're not letting notions of age get in the way. I can only imagine that you are an fount of wisdom on the subject. Best of lucK!

Hi there! Delighted you found my explanation useful. I gently disagree with your statement that a researcher can't use prior theory using a thematic analysis approach. Established theory can be a useful tool for identifying and expanding upon themes. Similarly, for grounded theory, a researcher needs some familiarity with existing theory to understand whether or not they're coming up with something new or not. Existing theory can be a helpful compass of sorts Does this make sense?

Only a bot would be this flattering, surely....

@@PatsPsychologyMSc One would think so but after some brief existential introspection I have decided that I am quite human.

@@wesleyberry2730 Brilliant Wesley! I'm delighted that you are human, and that you found the critique of Rogers' theory helpful! As for me having a handsome face, I don't know if that will pass peer review

And yet I wonder... Have I failed the Turing test? 2022 internet confuses me!

Hi Amaris, I'm delighted you're finding my videos very interesting! That's a very interesting question. I think an important consideration is the plasticity of the brain, and the capacity for the brain to learn. Imagine a person with a genetic predisposition to violence - I can imagine such a person never engaging in criminality, perhaps due to protective factors like a loving family, effective education, and emotional supports. I can also imagine a similar person committing an atrocity despite experiencing what seem to be protective factors. Also, despite perhaps making intuitive sense, it's very hard to define the terms you use "what we consider good", "productive", and "moral". I'd be really curious to see your expansion on these terms! What do you think?

@@PatsPsychologyMSc You are very correct in saying that it's hard to define the terms "what we consider good", "productive", and "moral". The meaning behind these terms seem to be defined based on the culture that one finds herself in. I suppose that being able to learn the social norms of one's culture plays a major role in "being moral" (following the standards that are set by society). On a slightly different note, I've heard that those who are diagnosed with psychopathy (or, if going by the DSM-V, anti-social personality disorder) generally have a less reactive amygdala and generally do not have strong neural connections between the vmPFC and the amygdala. Is this true, and what are your thoughts/findings on this?

@@amarisy6211 absolutely Amaris! I'll have to put my hands up and say I'm not familiar with the neurology of psychopathy. I'd be curious to hear more about what you learned from your studies though?

Thanks a million Nathan! Were you familiar with neuroeconomics before watching the episode?

I'm going to have to fire my video editor!

Absolutely, I think I observe a lot of irrational exuberance when it comes to both cryptocurrencies and nfts. But then, it's so hard to measure or intuit their value. What do you think Simon? Do you forsee a big crypto bust?

Thanks Snippets! What price bubbles and lucky companies sprung to your mind when you were watching?

Thank you Aleksandra! Your comment gave me a great laugh! How did you know I'm Irish??!!

@@PatsPsychologyMSc the kindness in the eyes, the gentleness that comes up naturally, the polite approach combined with evidence, and the lovely 'r' cannot belong to anyone else but an Irish soul! I am a foreign student from Bulgaria and have done my BSc in Scotland and MA in England and have been luckily blessed enough to meet the Irish culture as well along my way and could say that I love all my Irish friends! Been a pleasure to watch your content! Keep up the good work!

@Aleksandra Tsenkova wow, what a generous comment that is! Thanks you so much. You've brightened my morning, and made my day! I am delighted that your encounters with my fellow countrypeople have been so lovely. I look forward to visiting Bulgaria some day. If I meet anybody half as kind as you it will be a worthwhile trip! You've inspired me to get back to making some more content, so thank you again! Is there any particular topic / research paper that you'd like me to me to make an episode on? It'd be my pleasure!

Thanks Skione! If you enjoyed this episode, I have a follow up episode critiquing Rogers theory that I think you'd enjoy. I'd love to see what you think of it! ruclips.net/video/7f1XeBSOYuY/видео.html

Thank you Unajan for commenting! Delighted you found the episode useful. Was your report about contralateral control?

@@PatsPsychologyMSc Nope. My report is all about the Nervous System and I had mentioned in my presentation about these pathways of nerve impulse and why It is reversal. That's why I came here in your video finding some understandable information and It helps.So, thanks.

@@Nievezsollana Brilliant. Well I'm delighted my video helped you with your report Unajan, thank you for sharing! I have lots of other episodes which you might find helpful for future reports, would love to see your comments if you watch them too!

Thanks Phil for the really thought-provoking comment. For me the crucial point in your framing the Charles Whitman example is "...and sent to the hospital for treatment". I think the biomedical approach here would have been Whitman's saviour, rather than the Humanistic approach in isolation. What do you think? The Gershwin example is a fascinating one, I was unfamiliar with his case. Thank you for sharing! That is a really valuable impression you share Phil. There may be an important distinction between conditioning and conditional positive regard. I have considered them this far as relatively equivalent ideas, but perhaps that's a false equivalency which I hold! What do you reckon?

Thank you Cici for your kind comment! Is there anything you would have liked me to explain further?
