Welcome to Episode 91 of the
Being Human Podcast: Exploring a Case Study Through a Catholic Lens,
w/ Dr. Bryan and Amy Grace (Certification Series: Part 8 of
12)
Every individual person’s
story is completely unique and unrepeatable. So how is it possible
that we have predictable patterns of behaving which can be
generalized to others? Continuing the series focused on our new
Certification, Dr. Greg, Dr. Bryan, and Amy Grace explore this
question while opening up the third-level psychology course through
discussion of a case vignette.
Discussed in this episode:
- What is a case vignette?
- The impossibility of generalizing an
individual’s experience;
- Our defenses as crystallized ways we learned to
protect ourselves against pain;
- The “both and” of predictable patterns of
behavior and the unique, unrepeatable ways individuals display that
behavior;
- The family as a school of love where we are
meant to learn in that school;
- Where does security come from?
- Attachment theory, and God as our ultimate
secure attachment;
- Learning how to receive God’s love in order to
give it to one’s children;
- The importance of genuine love for one’s
clients in the accompaniment relationship;
- How Mentorship locks in on the uniqueness of
the person, even in their defenses;
- The danger of proposing a solution to
psychological ills that does not involve the spiritual
life;
- What’s coming up next in our Certification
series.
