    ABSTRACT

    The Attitudinize therapy is a complete psychotherapy dealing effectively with all

    the six vital aspects concerning an emotional problem of a human being. The research

    will help to provide recommendations to the parents and other adults to seek help

    through Attitudinize Therapy for the treatment of Anxiety and Depressive Symptoms,

    Reducing Suicidal Ideation, Enhancing Self Esteem and dealing with general emotional

    problems, if they are searching for a complete, economical, less time consuming and

    easily adaptable method of psychotherapy. The Attitudinize therapy slows down the aging

    process, through inculcating positive attitudes within psychological, terminological,

    physiological, spiritual, neuro-hormonal and time-management aspects. A combination of

    a healthy, active lifestyle with balanced food, water, oxygen content choices and

    persistent positive attitudes would enhance healthy aging. Overall, our mental state, our

    physical fitness and our nutritional status provide us with the pathways to healthy aging.

    In fact, there is increasing evidence that the aging process can be minimized, and survival

    can be extended through some simple strategies of the attitudinize therapy. To conduct

    an initial study, it was hypothesized that the attitudinize therapy enhances the Self

    Esteem of a person, which would be beneficial in turn for him/her to achieve better in

    educational performance. In order to test the hypothesis, the sample comprised of Ninety

    Male and Ninety Female Adult Students of Mohammad Ali Jinnah University, Karachi. Thisstudy comprises of Three phases, in the first phase the students were selected who had

    Low - Score (Below 50) on Self esteem Test by administering Queendoms Self Esteem

    Test (2003), and were then divided into TWO groups; THERAPY GROUP; the students on

    which Attitudinize therapy would be conducted, and NO THERAPY GROUP; the students on

    which NO Attitudinize Therapy would be conducted. Also Dysfunctional Attitude Scale

    (Therapy Form) (Modified by Dr. Linah Askari, 2003) and various demographic

    questionnaires were also administered to the whole sample. In addition, the Grade Point

    Average (GPA) of all the students was recorded for the previous semester. In the second phase,Attitudinize Therapy was conducted for fourteen weeks (75 minute session, twice a week) on the

    THERAPY GROUP only. In the third phase, after completion of various demographic questionnaires,

    the whole sample of 90 males and 90 females were re-administered the Queendoms Self Esteem

    Test (2003) and Dysfunctional Attitude Scale (Therapy Form) (Modified by Prof. Dr. Linah Askari,

    2003). Again the Grade Point Average (GPA) of all the students included within the sample was

    recorded for the present semester to relate the effectiveness of the Attitudinize Therapy with the

    Enhancement of Self Esteem and their Educational Performance.

    THE ATTITUDINIZE PSYCHOTHERAPY

    OBJECTIVE

    The human attitudes follow the value systems for approval, love, achievement, perfectionism,

    entitlement, omnipotence and autonomy. And when these needs are not met successfully, the human

    attitudes become negative or dysfunctional that reacts to stressors, and at this point the individual

    experiences emotional problems. This study proposes to enhance Self-Esteem of the individual through

    Attitudinize Psychotherapy. Our objective is to prove the effectiveness of the new introduced

    Attitudinize Psychotherapy, which can prove an economical, practical and innovative intervention to

    enable the individual to turn their dysfunctional attitudes (within all the six dimensions) into adaptive

    (functional/positive) attitudes for the benefit of individual, treatment of the emotional problems and

    success in life.

    INTRODUCTION

    Bartleby (2000) defines, Attitudinize means to assume an affected attitude; Practice or adopt

    attitudes especially for effect.

    The Attitudinize therapy is a complete psychotherapy dealing effectively with all the six vital

    aspects concerning an emotional problem of a human being.Meanwhile in Pakistan, in its initial study

    phase, Attitudinize therapy began to prove to be the therapy of choice for many mental health care

    problems, including depression, suicidal ideation and the anxiety disorders.Attitudinize therapy can be

    easily conducted inIndividual Sessions as well as in Group Sessions, as perClients Choice.

    Individual Sessions

    Typically, individual treatment involves seeing the therapist one to two times per week for a

    fifty-minute session, although other schedules are not uncommon. Due to financial concerns, for

    example, some patients opt to see the therapist every other week. Similarly, some clients, who are

    interested in very intensive work, may come as often as four or five times weekly. Individual goals,

    personality style and financial resources determine the scheduling. One of the main advantages to the

    individual treatment option is the way in which it facilitates a very intense personal relationship with the

    therapist. This allows the client to explore and play out patterns that may influence other close

    relationships throughout his or her life, without the same complications that exist in friendships, family

    relationships, and other significant interpersonal relationships.

    Advantages with Attitudinize Individual Therapy

    No one except the therapist will know your secrets.

    5/35

    The therapist gets more time to handle your particular problems.

    You can often penetrate deeper into your inner problems than with group therapy.

    Individual attention from a respectable person sometimes becomes of the core importance for

    the client to review the life patterns and inculcate positive changes.

    You do not have to listen to other people, which seems better with ones own problems.

    You can arrange a time which suits you and you do not have to co-ordinate your calendar with

    other people and available group therapy slots.

    Group Sessions

    Group psychotherapy consists of a group of five to seven individuals meeting on a regular basis

    to discuss both private and group issues. Most commonly, the group meets once per week foran hour

    and a half, although twice weekly meetings are not uncommon. Group members are selected from a

    pool of Dr. Linahs clients and other referral sources to best match the diverse individual needs of all

    participants. The main advantage to group psychotherapy is its emphasis on multiple relationships with

    particular attention to how individual personality dynamics play out in a wide variety of situations. This

    allows the client to get multiple perspectives about the way that others perceive him or her.

    Advantages with Attitudinize Group Therapy:

    Group therapy usually costs much less.

    The clients attendance in the group for the first time is like a public declaration of their

    commitmentto change.

    Meeting other people with problems can give a wider perspective of your own problems. The

    group provides opportunities forvicarious learningfrom witnessing other people solve similar

    problems.

    Listening to other people helps you understand that you can view and handle problems in more

    than one way.

    Other people can give encouragement and emotional support; a general feeling for the human

    condition: "We are all in the same boat."There is a sense ofuniversality, realizing they are not

    alone in suffering from their problems.

    Through role-play, realistic yet controlled exposure situations can be tailored to the individual

    needs of each client present in the group.

    The Theory of Attitudinize Psychotherapy

    The Theory of Attitudinize Psychotherapy postulated by Dr. Linah Askari proposes, All

    Behaviors arise from Attitudes and Intentions. It means that the bases of every human action and

    5

  • 8/3/2019 Attitudinize Psychotherapy 2009 New

    6/35

    reaction are the attitude / intention. After the arousal of a positive or a negative attitude (intention) to

    particular stimuli or situation, the person starts thinking on those terms, beliefs due to his / her past

    experiences arise accordingly and hence the behavior in the connection is framed.

    Askari (2005) suggests, Attitudes determine how we mold our personalities by continuously

    reacting to people and to objects within the environment. These attitudes determine our behavior in

    social, physical, psychological, spiritual and time-line situations. As a general rule, positive attitudes

    will always benefit the individual and their environment together producing favorable behaviors,

    while negative attitudes will always produce detrimental effects for the individual as well as the

    environment by producing unfavorable behaviors.

    Definitions of Attitude

    To some investigators, attitudes pertained primarily to affective reactions --- feelings or emotional

    reactions to an object (Katz, 1960; Thurstone, 1928). Others in contrast, proposed that attitudes were not

    different from othercognitions such as beliefs, values, and knowledge (Chave, 1928). A third group held

    fast to the original emphasis on behaviorby defining an attitude as a tendency to behave in a certain way

    (Campbell, 1950; Green, 1954). Many theorists believe that attitudes involve all three of the elements

    identified by earlier researchers i.e., affect, cognitions, and behavior. According to this tricomponent

    theory, an attitude is (1) an affective feeling of liking or disliking based on (2) beliefs (cognitions) about

    an object or a person, which (3) leads to a readiness to behave in a certain manner (Breckler, 1984;

    Smith, 1947).

    According to Christopher (2001), There is no single, universally accepted definition of

    attitude. However, several authors seem to agree that attitude may be thought of in terms of a tendency

    to evaluate a stimulus with some degree of favor or disfavor, usually expressed in cognitive, affective, or

    behavioral responses.

    De Angelis (2002) proposes, Attitude is a state of mind with which an individual approaches a

    situation. Moallemm (2003) states, Attitude is a personal feeling or belief that influences apersons

    tendency to act in a particular way. And anAttitude affects the choice that one makes. Webster (2003)

    defines, Attitude is a complex mental state involving beliefs, feelings, values and dispositions to act in

    certain ways. In addition, Attitude is a psychological tendency expressed by an evaluative response that

    can be overt or covert, cognitive, affective or behavioral.

    Components of Attitude

    Kamradt and Kamradt (1999) defines, Attitude is a psychophysical structure that stores related

    bits of affective, cognitive, and psychomotor learning in a manner that allows instantaneous,

    6

  • 8/3/2019 Attitudinize Psychotherapy 2009 New

    7/35

    subconscious access by its owner (p. 570). They view attitude

    as the fundamental unit of learning. As shown in Figure 1, bits

    of cognitive, psychomotor, and affective learning are the

    components of attitudes.

    Figure1: Components and Structure of a Discrete Attitude (Kamradt & Kamradt, 1999)

    To Change an attitude

    The instructional model (shown in Figure 2) proposed by Kamradt and Kamradt (1999) is

    intended to help a learner change an attitude when he/she is willing to do so. Its general strategy is to

    simultaneously move all three components of the attitude (affective, cognitive and behavioral) the same

    amount in the same direction, using rapid shifts in instructional tactics, from one component to another.

    The authors noted that if the instructional process does not fully and correctly integrate all threecomponents of an attitude (affective, cognitive, and psychomotor), learners would subconsciously fill in

    the blanks withinformation drawn ingenuously from their own experience and temperament. This

    distorts the instructional main-focused instructional plan, leading to unpredictable performance

    outcomes.

    Figure 2: Holistic Instructional Strategy, by Kamradt & Kamradt (1999).

    Attitudinal process

    Within an attitude, the three components interact through an explicit structure and process.

    This concept map shows understanding about an attitudinal process. An unresolved need activates a

    latent attitude of a person the feeling in the affective domain, the related knowledge and experiences

    in the cognitive domain, the selection of a course of action, and the implementation of the action. The

    selected action may successfully solve the need, which reflects an attitudinal consistency, or fail to

    solve the need, which creates an attitudinal dissonance. If an attitude is lacking in consistency or if its

    reliability becomes questionable, a person tends to invest a great deal of mental-emotional energy in

    refining it to a higher level of consistency. However, if an attitude is inherently dissonant and its

    consistency is damaged beyond repair, it becomes a dysfunctional attitude (Kamradt & Kamradt, 1999).

    Weissman (1979) hypothesized that Dysfunctional Attitudes are the distorted beliefs or

    attitudes reacting to stressors. They may include:

    The need for perfectionist achievement.

    Constant approval by others.

    The need for unconditional Love.

    Ones sense of entitlement to things as happiness, love, success, etc.

    Constant sense of personal responsibility for self and the environment.

    Ones ability to be responsible to find happiness within oneself or seek it from the outside

    world.

    Attitudinize

    Attitude makes a difference every hour, everyday, in everything that one does for the entire

    life. Anything done with a positive attitude will work beneficially, whereas anything done with a

    negative attitude will work harmfully. If one has a positive attitude, a person looks for ways to solve the

    problems that one can solve, and let go off things, over which one has no control. One can develop a

    positive attitude by emphasizing the good, by being tough-minded and by refusing defeat. The greatest

    discovery of any generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering the attitudes of their

    minds (Schweitzer, 2002).

    Beck (1963, 1964) found that depressed patients tended to distort their experiences in an

    idiosyncratic way. They misinterpreted specific irrelevant events in terms of personal failure,

    deprivation, or rejection, or they tended to greatly exaggerate or over generalize any event that bore any

    resemblance of negative information about them. From this, Beck theorized that certain cognitive

    schemas become pre-potent during depression, dominates the thought processes and lead to cognitive

    distortions, and the cognitions are based on attitudes or assumptions (schemes) developed from previous

    experiences.

    The Multifaceted Approach of Treatment in Attitudinize Psychotherapy

    The goal in disputing maladaptive / dysfunctional attitudes is to replace illogical and

    maladaptive attitudes with more positive, realistic and logical ones.It works to help people successfully

    overcome their particular emotional problems by developing positive and adaptive attitudes toward a

    particular person, situation, environment or the world around them.

    Weissman (1979) represented the Human Attitudes by the following Seven Major Value

    systems:

    9

  • 8/3/2019 Attitudinize Psychotherapy 2009 New

    10/35

    1. Approval: These attitudes show ones tendency to measure his/her self-esteem based on how

    people react to him/her and what they think of him/her. Is the person independent with a healthy sense

    of his/her own worth even when confronted with criticism and disapproval; or, is he/she excessively

    dependent, evaluating himself/herself through the other peoples eyes? For e.g., (negative) It is best to

    give up my own interests in order to please other people. Or (positive) My value as a person dependsgreatly on what I think of myself.

    2. Love: These attitudes deal with an individuals tendency to measure his/her worth on whether or

    not he/she is loved. Does the individual see love as desirable, but there are other interests he/she finds

    gratifying and fulfilling or does he/she see love as a need without which he/she cannot survive? For e.g.,

    (negative) I cannot find happiness without being loved by another individual. Or (positive) I am not

    worried if a person I love doesn't love me.

    3. Achievement: These attitudes indicate whether the individual is workaholic with a constricted

    sense of his/her own worth, or whether he/she enjoys creativity and productivity, but do not see them as

    the exclusive road to self-esteem and satisfaction. For e.g., (negative) I must be a useful, productive,

    creative person or life has no purpose. Or (positive) People who have good ideas are not more worthy

    than those who do not; it is the human factor which is important.

    4. Perfectionism: These attitudes are aimed to measure an individuals tendency toward

    perfectionism. Does the individual demands perfection in him/her, i.e., mistakes are taboo and failure is

    worth than death or does he/she have the capacity to set meaningful, flexible, appropriate standards? For

    e.g., (negative) If I dont set up the highest standards for myself, I am likely to end up as a second-rate

    person. Or (positive) If a person asks for help, it is a sign of strength, the work done does not need to

    be perfect.

    5. Entitlement: These attitudes are aimed at measuring ones sense of entitlement.Does the individual

    feel that he/she is entitled to things, e.g., success, love, happiness, etc., or does he/she negotiate for

    what he/she wants, with no inherent reason why things should always go his way? For e.g., (negative) If

    I put other peoples needs before my own, they should help me when I want them to do something for

    me. Or (positive) To be a good, moral, worthwhile person, I can only help those who need it, not

    everyone who wants it.

    6. Omnipotence: These attitudes indicate whether the person sees himself/herself as the center of

    his/her personal universe and holds himself/herself responsible for much of what goes on around

    him/heror, whether he/she realizes he/she is not in control of other adults; i.e., he/she is not ultimately

    responsible for them but only for himself/herself. For e.g., (negative) I should be able to please

    everybody. Or (positive) Being isolated from others does not bind to lead to unhappiness; rather one

    can be satisfied with oneself.

    10

  • 8/3/2019 Attitudinize Psychotherapy 2009 New

    11/35

    7. Autonomy: These items refer to ones ability to find happiness within him / her. Does the

    individual assume responsibility for his/her feelings because he/she recognizes that they are ultimately

    created by himself / herself, or is he/she trapped in the belief that his/her potential for joy and self-

    esteem comes from the outside? For e.g., (negative) People who have the marks of success such as goodlooks, social status, wealth or fame, are bound to be happier than those who do not. Or (positive) One

    can remain happy and satisfied if the person is following his/her lifes motto.

    A therapistwould be able to determine the individuals areas of attitudes where the client is

    psychologically strong as well as emotionally vulnerable in each of these predetermined value systems

    Attitudinize Therapyapproach ismultifacetedand is based on the assumption that changing

    the dysfunctional / maladaptive attitudes within the seven major value systems effectively, along the

    following Six dimensions (like the Holy Kaaba and the dice) would treat the emotional problems.

    Leaving any one aspect would provide hindrance therapeutically and problems may reoccur later. The

    six dimensions are:

    1. Psychological: The treatment within the psychological aspect of the emotional problem

    includes, Change in the Dysfunctional / Maladaptive Attitudes of the person, to change the

    patterns of thinking, beliefs and behavior toward psychological self, environment and the

    world around.

    To Attitudinize Psychologically: If a person has an attitude that My life is full of pain, it is

    unrewarding and pitiful too or I can never be relieved from the pain of my life. During Therapeutic

    Intervention, the client is shown a different angle and aspect for Pain in Life, such as, No soul in this

    world lives without pain. Pain is experienced every minute; it can be of any kind within the six

    dimensions. Nobody can give thy pains, hurts, failures, etc. to thy neighbors and take all the joys,

    pleasures, and achievements from thy neighbors. The fact remains that everyone has to take his or her

    own pain. Our destined pains, hurts, failures and experiences of pleasures, happiness, and achievements

    are still thy own.

    On the other hand, high achievers have narrated their life stories emphasizing that every pain

    gives a new learning and a new experience. Life is learning, learning is experience, Pain is gain and

    Excellence is painful, But Experience cannot be counted from age. Hence you can also experience the

    pain and simultaneously become an experienced person.

    Dont be afraid of experiencing pain. Do you remember any minute when you did not

    experienced any type of pain? I think humans experience pain every minute, of one type or the other.

    Didnt you attitudinize your pain?

    11

  • 8/3/2019 Attitudinize Psychotherapy 2009 New

    12/35

    2. Terminological: The treatment within the terminological aspect of the emotional problem

    includes, Changing of the abusive / invective attitudes and behaviors; altering verbal and

    non-verbal maladaptive communications, through altering the language-expression toward

    self, environment and the world around.

    To Attitudinize Terminologically: If a person has an attitude that I am frank and outspoken, so

    even if I use negative terminology for anyone, I am justified in doing so or The language and

    terminology used habitually cannot be changed ever. During Therapeutic Intervention, the client is

    shown the benefits of chosen words, through different aspects such as, Does any goodness / religion of

    the world teach you to abuse or degrade anybody through words or speech. If your environment does not

    teach you to weigh before you say you may learn it through reading good material and sitting among

    disciplined people. Have you ever received good results by negative terminology, except that people will

    follow you out of fear but will associate negative emotions and keep them in their hearts for forever.

    Also when they will become more powerful than you, they will try to return the harshness produced by

    your words and expressions.

    Will you be able to convince anyone through harsh words? Would people learn through your

    experiences if you reject, criticize or degrade them? Will anybody listen to you in the real, affectionate,

    obedient sense? Sure youve started believing that your choice of words is very important, if you wish to

    make your communication effective. If you speak softly, assertively and empathetically, your words will

    have the value of golden words, which will be remembered forever, obeyed and will leave positive

    marks on the hearts and minds of other people. According to a saying your tongue is the heaviest part of

    the body, very few people are able to hold it. OK! Did you Attitudinize your tongue!

    3. Spiritual: The treatment within the spiritual aspect of the emotional problem includes,

    Changing of dysfunctional / maladaptive attitudes toward Allah (the Divine Being),

    Reducing guilt and fear, and Inculcating the belief of attaining perfect justice for self and

    others.

    To Attitudinize Spiritually: If a person has an attitude that Allah (or The Divine Being You

    Believe) has all the powers, and one cannot do anything to change ones fate or life. or One is entitled

    to get luxuries in life from Allah (or The Divine Being You Believe), and one cannot do anything in

    return. During Therapeutic Intervention, the clients perception about the communication and

    connection process of the human being and Allah (or The Divine Being You Believe) is logically

    defined such as, Have you ever seen Allah (or The Divine Being You Believe), surely not through your

    simple eyes, but through your logical eyes.

    Everyone knows that human scientists are able to explore the world and invent computers,

    rockets and missiles, but can anyone of them create a gnat (mosquito) that can bite by its own will and

    produce its own generation. Also can anyone create a leaf which can produce its own food for survival

    and also supply to other parts of the plant. If a person looks around a tree with leaves, the person will

    definitely find leaves of green color, we only know twelve colors since childhood, if we mix each colorwith another one by one in different measures, there will be 12 x 12 x 12.. Infinite green colored

    leaves each with a pinch of different green shade. Who says we cannot see Allah (or The Divine Being

    You Believe) through our mental eyes?

    Every soul has and purpose of its own. Every soul is different like every thumbprint. But still

    every soul sent has one purpose that is to understand the existence of Allah (or The Divine Being You

    Believe), accept His powers and hence seek benefits from Him. Only if you seek it youll get it,

    otherwise NOT. Do you really think that you have attitudinized your faith!

    4. Physiological: The treatment within the physiological aspect of the emotional problem

    includes, Changing of maladaptive attitudes toward physiological self, through deep

    breathing exercise to keep oxygen balance in the body, to maintain balanced diet

    consumption and control the water intake and output to stabilize the body fluids.

    To Attitudinize Physiologically: If a person has an attitude that There is no need for extra

    oxygen through deep breathing. or Our Physiological tendencies are inherited by us, whatever care we

    take, it will not affect at all and well remain the same. During Therapeutic Intervention, the clients

    belief about oxygen, water and food intake, regular balance and its vital importance is emphasized, such

    as Under stress or tension we always keep on short breaths, over-eating, and lack of water intake.

    Generally it is seen that people remain under constant stress/tension but they dont accept, neither have

    they achieved the best possible measure of complete relaxation nor they ever try to learn.

    A person is similar to a computer, whatever input we save, hence we get the output. If we eat a

    small quantity of food daily, we will never be able to deposit fat within our bodies, but if we take a large

    amount which deposits fats on daily basis, after a month or so definitely we will become obese, whether

    we have tendency or not. If we measure the diet intake of thin vs. fat people we will clearly differentiate

    the reason of their physique and structure. Similar is the case of oxygen and water contents. They are

    required in a large quantity by the body more than food, to keep healthy functioning of all vital organs. If

    we intake water and oxygen below the average level, surely the speed of body functions will slow down

    and hence deficiencies will initiate the physical illness.

    Why dont we all breathe deeply, take eight glasses of water daily and eat the food to fill only

    half of the stomach daily, and remain relaxed while eating, drinking and breathing? Just because we

    were not guided in this direction since childhood, and we are not in a HABIT of doing so. Can we adapt

    13

  • 8/3/2019 Attitudinize Psychotherapy 2009 New

    14/35

    a good Habit so we should live our healthy, happy lives or we have no such motivation! Pure water costs

    nowadays, are we wanting to pay for oxygen too? Then we only will value it, or we will start deep

    breathing from today! Do you know that scientists cannot even create one drop of ORIGINAL pure

    water with actual taste and properties? WOW! Havent you attitudinized your breaths?

    5. Neuro-hormonal: Neuro-hormones are the body's chemical messengers; these hormones

    stimulate the cells they are attached to. The treatment within the terminological aspect of the

    emotional problem includes, Inculcating an attitude that Neuro-hormonal Regulation of

    ones own body can be easily controlled through muscle relaxation exercises and massage of

    pressure points of your body.

    To attitudinize Neuro-hormonically; If a person has an attitude that there is no at all between

    the thought process and a Neuro-hormonal response or Neuro-hormonal deregulation within a person

    cannot evoke a disease or a mental illness. During therapeutic intervention, the clients concepts about

    Neuro-hormonal process can be correctly directed through its knowledge and information such as Have

    you ever got angry? Or been abused? How do you feel at that time? Your blood pressure changes, your

    body temperature, your breathing, your thought process all get shuffled up, and produces negative

    impact on your mind, physiology and speech, wastes your time and leaves your ego guilty, at the actions

    and reactions. Whats all this about? Surely Neuro-hormonal deregulation. Now do you understand how

    all six dimensions are inter related and how effective for another.

    On the other hand if you are happy, achieved according to your expectations, you become

    relaxed, breath normally, think positively, your body temperature is regulated, your mood is good while

    talking and working, your time is well utilized and your ego is satisfied at the actions and reactions. It

    confirms that many decisions depend upon the positive or negative attitudes we are experiencing within

    these six dimensions. Its easy to balance your neuro hormonal regulation. Just by massaging the

    necessary pressure points, whenever needed. It will produce marvelous effects if you make it a habit to

    exercise and massage your feet, hands, ears, templates and eyes daily for overall thirty minutes only.Through massage, glands are activated and it is necessary to do deep breathing during massage,

    exercise or when we take the pain. One can massage though piercing thy hand knuckles in all the five

    areas. Are you ready to attitudinize your neuro hormonal regulation!

    6. Time Management: The treatment within the time management aspect of the emotional

    problem includes, Changing of maladaptive attitudes toward time management and to

    become positively creative and remain relaxed for most of the time in your life-time.

    To Attitudinize for time management; If a person has an attitude that Time has to pass away,

    we cannot hold time, and the fate will give you whats written for you, so dont worry about time.

    14

  • 8/3/2019 Attitudinize Psychotherapy 2009 New

    15/35

    During therapeutic intervention, the clients attitude about time management is directed positively to

    inculcate through time accountability within the client. To make the client realize that if we just sit and

    imagine our achievements without doing anything to accomplish them, then what will happen? The time

    will pass and we will remain empty handed. Imaginations only become realities if they are experienced

    continuously through hard and smart work.

    If you will not experience, youll never learn, if you will not spend time on things youll never

    achieve. Why do we take pressures of time? Why do we wish to accomplish things quickly? Why do

    we remain under stress all the time? Just because we are in a habit of doing so, and people around us

    pressurize us to do so. Most important thing in life is to make ourselves continuously relaxed all the

    time, in the beginning, middle and at the end of every anxiety, every problem, every work, etc. Of coarse

    you will be able to attitudinize your time management.

    The Attitudinize therapy can be learned by the person / client. The person then needs to take

    what has been learned, practice it at home (when they are alone and not feeling self-conscious, for

    approximately thirty minutes a day), and through means of repetition, get that new learning down into

    the brain over and over again. Just like learning at school or an institution.It enables you to begin

    believing, feeling and acting, differently. This takes persistence, practice, and patience, but when a

    person sticks with this therapy, and does not give up, noticeable progress begins to occur.

    Persistency is the next key. These solutions must be practiced every day for three months or

    longer. It is essential that the brain receive these new, rational, forward moving messages so that attitude

    can be changed. The neural pathways in the mind "absorb" the attitudinize therapy and it begins to

    become a part of the person allowing permanent change to occur. After granting the intricacies, the

    mastery of these concepts is needed for treating the emotional problems successfully.

    The Attitudinize Psychotherapy enhances Self - Esteem

    Burns (1999) proposed the Development of Better Self Esteem inferring that, Most people's

    feelings and thoughts about themselves fluctuate somewhat based on their daily experiences. The grade

    you get on an exam, how your friends treat you, ups and downs in a romantic relationship - all can have

    a temporary impact on your wellbeing.

    Yourself-esteem, however, is something more fundamental than the normal "ups and downs"

    associated with situational changes. For people with good basic self-esteem, normal "ups and downs"

    may lead to temporary fluctuations in how they feel about themselves, but only to a limited extent. In

    contrast, for people with poor basic self-esteem, these "ups and downs" may make all the difference in

    the world. People with poor self-esteem often rely on how they are doing in the present to determine

    how they feel about themselves. They need positive external experiences to counteract the negative

    15

  • 8/3/2019 Attitudinize Psychotherapy 2009 New

    16/35

    feelings and thoughts that constantly plague them. Even then, the good feeling (from a good grade, etc.)

    can be temporary.

    Healthy self-esteem is based on our ability to assess ourselves accurately (know ourselves) and

    still be able to accept and to value ourselves unconditionally. This means being able to realistically

    acknowledge our strengths and limitations (which is part of being human) and at the same time accepting

    ourselves as worthy and worthwhile without conditions or reservations. Self-esteem is largely developed

    during childhood.

    Childhood experiences that lead to healthy self-esteem include; being praised, being listened to,

    being spoken to respectfully, getting attention and hugs, experiencing success in sports or school and

    having trustworthy friends. On the other hand, Childhood experiences that lead to low self-esteem

    include; being harshly criticized, being yelled at, or beaten, being ignored, ridiculed or teased, beingexpected to be "perfect" all the time and experiencing failures in sports or school. People with low self-

    esteem were often given messages that failed experiences (losing a game, getting a poor grade, etc.)

    were failures of their whole self.

    Low self-esteem can have devastating consequences.

    It can create anxiety, stress, loneliness and increased likelihood for depression.

    It can cause problems with friendships and relationships.

    It can seriously impair academic and job performance.

    It can lead to underachievement and increased vulnerability to drug and alcohol abuse.

    Worst of all, these negative consequences themselves reinforce the negative self-image and can

    take a person into a downward spiral of lower and lower self-esteem and increasingly non-productive or

    even actively self-destructive behavior.

    Three Steps to Better Self-Esteem

    Before you can begin to improve your self-esteem you must first believe that you can change it.

    Change doesn't necessarily happen quickly or easily, but it can happen. You are not powerless! Once you

    have accepted, or are at least willing to entertain the possibility that you are not powerless, there are

    three steps you can take to begin to change your self-esteem:

    Step 1: Rebut the Inner Critic The first important step in improving self-esteem is to begin to

    challenge the negative messages of the critical inner voice. Here are some typical examples of the inner

    critic's voice and how you can "rebut" that voice.

    16

  • 8/3/2019 Attitudinize Psychotherapy 2009 New

    17/35

    The Inner Critic's Voice: Your Rebuttals:

    Is Unfairly Harsh: "People said they

    liked my presentation, but it was nowhere near

    as good as it should have been. I can't believe

    no-one noticed all the places I messed up. I'm

    such an impostor."

    Be Reassuring: "Wow, they really liked

    it! Maybe it wasn't perfect, but I worked hard on

    that presentation and did a good job. I'm proud ofmyself. This was a great success."

    Generalizes Unrealistically: "I got an

    F on the test. I don't understand anything in this

    class. I'm such an idiot. Who am I fooling? I

    shouldn't be taking this class. I'm stupid and I

    don't belong in college."

    Be Specific: "I did poorly on this one

    test, but I've done O.K. on all the homework.

    There are some things here that I don't understand

    as well as I thought I did, but I can do the

    material-I've done fine in other classes that were

    just as tough.

    Makes Leaps of Illogic: "He is frowning. He

    didn't say anything, but I know it means that he

    doesn't like me!"

    Challenge Illogic: "O.K., he's frowning,

    but I don't know why. It could have nothing to do

    with me. Maybe I should ask."

    Catastrophizes: "She turned me down

    for a date! I'm so embarrassed and humiliated.

    No one likes or cares about me. I'll never find a

    girlfriend. I'll always be alone."

    Be Objective: "Ouch! That hurt. Well,

    she doesn't want to go out with me. That doesn't

    mean no one does. I know I'm an attractive and

    nice person. I'll find someone."

    Step 2: Practice Self-Nurturing

    Rebutting your critical inner voice is an important first step, but it is not enough. Since our self-

    esteem is in part due to how others have treated us in the past, the second step to more healthy self-

    esteem is to begin to treat yourself as a worthwhile person. Start to challenge past negative experiencesor messages by nurturing and caring for yourself in ways that show that you are valuable, competent,

    deserving and lovable. There are several components to self-nurturing:

    (i) Practice Basic Self-Care; Get enough sleep, eat in a healthy fashion, get regular exercise, practice

    good hygiene, and so forth. (ii) Plan Fun & Relaxing Things For Yourself; You could go to a movie,

    take a nap, get a massage, plant a garden, buy a pet, learn to meditate-whatever you enjoy. (iii)Reward

    Yourself For Your Accomplishments; (iv) You could take the night off to celebrate good grades, spend

    time with a friend, or compliment yourself for making that hard phone call. (v) Remind Yourself of

    Your Strengths & Achievements; One way is to make a list of things you like about yourself. Or keep a

    'success' file of awards, certificates and positive letters or citations. Keep momentos of accomplishments

    you are proud of where you can see them. (vi) Forgive Yourself When You Don't Do All You'd Hoped;

    17

  • 8/3/2019 Attitudinize Psychotherapy 2009 New

    18/35

    Self-nurturing can be surprisingly hard if you are not used to doing it. Don't be critical of yourself-

    remember that inner voice!-when you don't do it just right. (vii) Self-Nurture Even When You Don't

    Feel You Deserve It; "Fake it" until you can "make it." When you treat yourself like you deserve to feel

    good and be nurtured, slowly you'll come to believe it.

    Step 3: Get Help from Others

    Getting help from others is often the most important step a person can take to improve his or

    her self-esteem, but it can also be the most difficult. People with low self-esteem often don't ask for help

    because they feel they don't deserve it. But since low self-esteem is often caused by how other people

    treated you in the past, you may need the help of other people in the present to challenge the critical

    messages that come from negative past experiences. Here are some ways to get help from others:

    Ask for Support from Friends

    Ask friends to tell you what they like about you or think you do well.

    Ask someone who cares about you to just listen to you "vent" for a little while without trying to

    "fix" things. Ask for a hug.

    Get Help from Teachers & Other Helpers

    Go to professors or advisors or tutors to ask for help in classes if this is a problem for you.

    Remember: They are there to help you learn!

    If you lack self-confidence in certain areas, take classes or try out new activities to increase

    your sense of competence (for example, take a math class, join a dance club, take swimming

    lessons, etc.)

    Talk to a Therapist or Counselor

    Sometimes low self-esteem can feel so painful or difficult to overcome that the professional

    help of a therapist or counselor is needed. Talking to a counselor is a good way to learn more about your

    self-esteem issues and begin to improve your self-esteem. Hence Attitudinize Psychotherapy would be

    the BEST CHOICE.

    LITERATURE REVIEW

    The meaning of high self-esteem is currently under close empirical scrutiny. High self-esteem is

    typically viewed as beneficial for individuals due to its association with markers of psychological

    adjustment (Robins, Hendin, & Trzesniewski, 2001). Secure high self-esteem, which can be traced to the

    18

  • 8/3/2019 Attitudinize Psychotherapy 2009 New

    19/35

    work of Carl Rogers (1959, 1961), reflects positive attitudes toward the self that are realistic, well-

    anchored, and resistant to threat.

    The Literature reveals the use of the different approaches in the treatment of the emotional

    problems which may have similar effects as in the multifaceted approach applied in the AttitudinizePsychotherapy. It is introduced and implemented for the first time nationally, hence no traces are

    evidenced for the implementation of the therapy internationally and no research work was found.

    Cognitive therapy is a widely used form of psychotherapy that focuses on changing

    dysfunctional cognitions (thoughts), emotions, and behavior. Aaron T. Beck and coworkers have

    developed cognitive therapy over the last thirty years. Cognitive therapy is based on the theory that

    individuals with depression, anxiety, and other emotional disorders have maladaptive patterns of

    information processing and related behavioral difficulties.

    Automatic thoughts are frequently based on faulty logic or errors in reasoning. Cognitive

    therapy is directed, in part, at helping patients recognize and change these cognitive errors (sometimes

    called cognitive distortions). Some of the commonly described cognitive errors include: all or nothing

    thinking, personalization, ignoring the evidence, and overgeneralization. In cognitive therapy, patients

    are usually taught how to detect cognitive errors and to use this skill in developing a more rational style

    of thinking. Generally, cognitive therapy for dysfunctional schemas is more complex and demanding

    than therapeutic work with automatic thoughts. (Beck, 1988; Beck, et al., 1979; Beck, et al., 1985;

    Beck, 1995).

    Smith (2003) defines, Abuse is generallypromptedby anger, and vented in harsh and

    unseemlywords.It ismorepersonalandcoarse than invective. Abusegenerallytakesplace inprivate

    quarrels;invectiveinwritingorpublicdiscussions.Invectivemaybeconveyedinrefinedlanguageand

    dictatedbyindignationagainstwhatisblameworthy.

    And Hyper Dictionary (2003) revealed, Communication implies, the activity of conveying

    information; the transmission and reception of some stimulus or message. Communication occurs when

    oneperson transmits information to anotherperson; It is the Intercourseby words, letters, ormessages;

    interchange ofthoughts oropinions,by conference orcorrespondence.

    In addition, Language entails, the system for communicating ideas and feelings using sounds,

    gestures, signs, or marks.Languageconsists in theoral utterance ofsoundswhich usage hasmadethe

    representatives of ideas. When two or more persons customarily annex the same sounds to the same

    ideas, the expression of these sounds by one person communicates his ideas to another. This is the

    primarysense of language, theuseofwhich is to communicate the thoughts ofoneperson toanother

    through the organs of hearing. Articulate sounds are represented to the eye by letters, marks, or

    characters, which form words.

    Also Expression connotes, lively or vivid representation of meaning, sentiment, or feeling,

    etc.; significant and impressive indication, whether by language, appearance or gesture; that manner or

    style which gives life and suggestive force to ideas and sentiments.

    Therapy (2000) suggests, Speech and language are two different, yet linked, skills that

    humans use to communicate. Language is the ability to understand spoken and written words (receptive

    language) and to express meaning through words (expressive language). Speech is producing sounds that

    make up words. Chrnalogar (1996) proposes, If the disciple can be steered by mere suggestion and the

    manipulation of the meanings of words, then the cumulative effect of repeatedly rejecting his own

    desires for the disciples advice, and the continual pressure to conform can cause emotional problems.

    Explaining theSpiritual Role of Kundali in Hinduism, Boyd (1992) narrates, Kundalini is the

    principle of energy and awareness that makes conscious functioning possible. When Kundalini is

    awakened, it becomes possible for a human being to become aware of the higher vehicles of

    consciousness, to empower and activate them, and then to use and channel the energies within them.

    Further, in specific instances, Kundalini may be used to actually drive the spiritual transformative

    process.

    Mirsiam, also known as Jisbond (2001) in explicating the teachings of Islam,narratesto all

    who question the Justice of Allah and to all who believe in an Imperfect God, I hope this will help

    some of us who care to understand the only true God (Allah) for Allah is only GOOD without whom

    there is no other good.

    Allah the Exalted and the High, there is no existence except Him, unless it occurs by His

    action and proceeds from His Justice, in the best, perfect, complete and just ways. He is Wise in His

    verdicts. His justice is not to be compared with that of worshipers, because it is conceivable that the

    worshiper is unjust when he deals with properties of other than his own. But, harm is not conceivable

    from Allah - the High - because He does not encounter any ownership of other than Himself, in which

    His dealing could be described to be harmful.

    He is Gracious in beneficence and reform, though not through any need. Munificence and

    Kindness, Beneficence and Grace are His, since He is able to bring upon His creatures all manner of

    torture and to try them with all kinds of pain and affliction. Even if He should do this, it would be justice

    from Him, it would not be vile, and it would not be tyrannous.He - the Mighty, the Glorified - rewards

    His believing worshipers for their acts of obedience according to generosity and encouragement

    rather than according to their merit and obligation. For there is no obligation upon Him in any deed

    towards anyone and tyranny is inconceivable in Him. For there is no right upon Him towards anyone.

    (Jisbond, 2001).

    Borsenko (2001) reveals that the necessity of oxygen is obvious. The human body can survive for

    weeks without food and days without water but only a few minutes without oxygen. We would expect

    to receive enough oxygen through our lungs under ideal conditions. Unfortunately there are several

    factors that we can point to that would lead us to believe that the oxygen we receive through breathing is

    not sufficient. First, it is believed by scientists that the oxygen levels in our early atmosphere were much

    greater than they are today. Secondly the increased toxins in our environment are believed to clog up our

    body's circulatory systems to the point that our cells have become oxygen deficient. These points are

    very much oversimplified but suffice it to say that our bodies could benefit greatly from an increase of

    oxygen at the cellular level.

    Oxygen Elements Plus is a highly concentrated liquid in which only a few drops at a time

    combined with water produce the desired results. Oxygen Elements Plus continuously releases oxygen

    into the body using a proprietary process that acts like a catalyst by reacting over & over, continually

    disassociating some of your bodys water and creating oxygen. In addition to oxygen, Oxygen Elements

    Plus supplies your body with a steady diet of hydrogen, full spectrum minerals, amino acids and

    enzymes. And simultaneously provides cleansing to all body cells including the colon.

    The under oxidized and subnormal temperature person will present one of more of the

    following symptoms: headache, dizziness, insomnia, constipation, faint-feeling, loss of appetite,

    palpitation of the heart, liver and kidney problems, menstrual problems, cold hands and feet, anemia,

    gastrointestinal problems, chlorosis, etc., all of which are due to an impoverished blood supply.

    Almost all forms of nervous, functional, respiratory and blood disorders can be successfully

    corrected by oxidation restoration. The effects are perfectly natural, the nerves being left calm and toned

    with a feeling of buoyancy and exhilaration. It stimulates the vasomotor system through the nerve

    centers, which fact is clearly shown in the increased redness of the skin, a feeling of warmth in the whole

    body, and waste products being more freely eliminated. The ozone treatment shows that poor oxidation

    is the cause of many disorders, by reason of the fact that when the temperature is brought up to

    normal, the problems disappear.

    Willner(2000) proposes that virtually every patient's room in a modern hospital is equipped for

    the administration of oxygen. Every emergency room is required by law to have the same equipment.

    Deep breathing exercises are prescribed for patients with lung problems and for persons recoveringfrom surgery. The narrow application of these techniques is very unfortunate. They should be routine

    for every person. The average person takes their respiration for granted. There are large Eastern

    21

  • 8/3/2019 Attitudinize Psychotherapy 2009 New

    22/35

    religions which incorporate consciousness of breathing as an important teaching in their religious

    instruction. Indians refer to 'prana" as a wonderful substance that God has provided for a healthy life. It

    seems certain that prana is ozone.

    Deep breathing exercises carry greater importance today than ever before, because of the

    lowered amount of oxygen in the air in our cities. The effect of gradual oxygen deprivation on

    metabolism is devastating and leads to a greater production, and an inadequate processing, of the toxic

    wastes that our bodies produce daily. One of the consequences of a lowered oxygen supply is the

    elevation of uric acid in the body. This causes a wide variety of metabolic problems.

    Nicols (1991) proposes an interesting approach of"Autogenic training", which is an extension

    of hypnotherapy at a self-help level. Most people accept that a state of mind can cause a physical illness,

    and a persistent illness can produce an upset state of mind. When they realize that the mind can affect thebody in a harmful way, they can then realize that it can affect it in a good way. Autogenic training

    exercises involve visualization, such as that of a calm, healthy colon free from spasm. Patients may

    focus on the smooth muscle that propels the digested food, and visualize the sea and a sailboat moving

    peacefully along on the waves; transferring the image to the smooth, wave-like motion of the colon

    muscles enables them to calm the peristaltic waves. The neuro-hormonal component of the digestive

    system plays an integral role in the smooth operation of the system, and must be integrated sometimes

    with other therapeutic approaches.

    Fitch, Dryden and Ransom (2000), indicate that when the therapist demonstrates close

    attention, acknowledgment, and respect to encourage the client's relaxation, the client will eventually

    come to trust the process of massage as a safe way to receive the soothing a person so deeply craved.

    With soothing coming as thawing from long-standing fear, and the opportunity to reacquaint the client

    with their normal body signals, in the ordinary course of events, massage therapy can offer a profound

    sense of peace to those who are able to feel strong enough at their core to let go and relax.

    Self-Massage therapy communicates support, acceptance, positive regard, and pleasure, and

    it empowers the self-confidence to take charge of how a person wants their body to become satisfied.

    Respectful self-touch can be healing. Self-Massage therapy offers a safe place to clients, who in turn,

    may learn to trust that the touch does not have to be associated with pain, fear, or anger.

    Reflexologist Says Feet Don't Lie, Kevin and Barbara Kunz (1980) propose the practice of

    stimulating pressure sensors in the

    feet to promote better health and

    wellness.

    In talk therapy, or psychotherapy, intrusive neural symptoms are transformed, in the context

    of a safe, boundaried, therapeutic relationship. By encouraging the client to talk about the traumatic

    event, the unpleasant memories get re-encoded from traumatic memory into narrative memory. In other

    words, people learn to use their left-brains (cortex) to coordinate their right-brained feelings. This

    prevents the discharge of stress hormone from the amygdala. Once talk therapy has helped the clientestablish some degree of narrative memory and experience of safety, clients may face intrusive body

    sensations with self-massage therapy. Self- Massage therapy can help clients to reframe their

    experience of trauma from a kinesthetic perspective.

    Randall (1996) suggests, Time is like a mirror--it reflects different things, depending on how

    we look at it.This statement implies that time is nota constant, but somehow changes depending on our

    consciousness, and on our view of time. If this is true, perhaps we don't need to race against time, or see

    it as a scarce resource.

    If you are missing opportunities for fulfillment because of confusion about your goals or

    inadequate planning of your personal or professional affairs, then one hour spent clarifying goals and

    planning activities can be worth three or four hours trying to do things without a good sense of direction.

    It gives you an opportunity to clarify the important goals in your life and learn the organizational skills

    necessary to accomplish them efficiently. You can feel more in control and get more done--while

    decreasing stress! Conventional time management (CTM) is about doing the right things, it handles

    what objectives and tasks we do,and Inner Time Management (ITM) is about doing things right, it

    optimizes how we do things.

    Possible Benefits of Organizing Your Life-Time are that You'll get a better sense of your

    direction in life, by identifying all your current roles, and then writing down your goals and their

    priorities in all the major areas of life.And You'll know how to organize in order to get things done

    efficiently, by learning the essential skills of identifying the tasks necessary to accomplish your goals,

    prioritizing and scheduling these tasks along with appointments from your calendar, and visualizing your

    schedule to make sure it will work. In general, the way to simultaneously optimize health and well-

    being productivity, and quality of products and processes is to continually get more involved in whatever

    is at hand, whether work or play (Randall, 1996).

    Attitudinize Therapy Technique includes Motivational Interviewing

    elaborated by Group Health Centre for Health Promotion (2003) client-centered, directive method for

    enhancing intrinsic motivation to change by exploring and resolving ambivalence.

    METHOD

    Sample of the present study comprised of Ninety Male and Ninety Female Adult Students of

    Mohammad Ali Jinnah University, Karachi. It was selected through Random Sampling Technique.

    Procedure of the study comprises of Three phases, in the first phase the students were

    selected who had Low - Score (Below 50) on Self esteem Test by administering Queendoms Self

    Esteem Test (2003), and were then divided into TWO groups; THERAPY GROUP; the students on

    which Attitudinize therapy would be conducted, and NO THERAPY GROUP; the students on which

    NO Attitudinize Therapy would be conducted. Also Dysfunctional Attitude Scale (Therapy Form)

    (Modified by Prof. Dr. Linah Askari, 2003) and various demographic questionnaires were also

    administered to the whole sample. In addition, the Grade Point Average (GPA) of all the students was

    recorded for the previous semester. In the second phase, Attitudinize Therapy was conducted forfourteen weeks (75 minute session, twice a week) on the therapy group only. In the third phase, after

    completion of various demographic questionnaires, the whole sample of 90 males and 90 females

    were re-administered the Queendoms Self Esteem Test (2003) and Dysfunctional Attitude Scale

    (Therapy Form) (Modified by Prof. Dr. Linah Askari, 2003). Again the Grade Point Average (GPA)

    of all the students included in the sample was recorded for the present semester to relate the

    effectiveness of the Attitudinize Therapy with the Enhancement of Self Esteem and their

    Educational Performance.

    Statistical Analysis of the obtained scores revealed the significance of differences for the

    Enhancement of Self Esteem and Educational Performance, through the application of Attitudinize

    Psychotherapy between the TWO Groups after completion of the Therapy and No Therapy. The Means,

    Standard Deviations, correlation coefficients, paired sample t-test, paired sample correlations, etc. was

    computed and Graphs were presented for data analysis.

    RESULTS

    The data was statistically analyzed among the following groups.BTMSE Before Therapy,

    Males, Self-Esteem Test.BTFSE Before Therapy, Females, Self-Esteem Test.BTMDAS Before

    Therapy, Males, Dysfunctional Attitude Scale.BTFDAS Before Therapy, Females, Dysfunctional

    Attitude Scale. BTMEP Before Therapy, Males, Educational Performance. BTFEP Before

    Therapy, Females, Educational Performance.

    ATMSE After Therapy, Males, Self-Esteem Test.ATFSE After Therapy, Females, Self-Esteem Test. ATMDAS After Therapy, Males, Dysfunctional Attitude Scale.ATFDAS After

    Therapy, Females, Dysfunctional Attitude Scale. ATMEP After Therapy, Males, Educational

    Performance.ATFEP After Therapy, Females, Educational Performance.

    NTMSE No Therapy Group, Males, Self-Esteem Test. NTFSE No Therapy Group,

    Females, Self-Esteem Test. NTMDAS No Therapy Group, Males, Dysfunctional Attitude Scale.

    NTFDAS No Therapy Group, Females, Dysfunctional Attitude Scale. NTMEP No Therapy

    Group, Males, Educational Performance. NTFEP No Therapy Group, Females, Educational

    Performance.

    The following Hypotheses proved their significance through the statistical analysis, and the

    summarized results are presented below:

    1) There is More Negative Correlation between scores of Dysfunctional Attitudes and Self-Esteem, i.e., The Higher the Dysfunctional Attitudes the Lower will be the Self-Esteem, and

    Vice Versa. Both for Male as well as for Female Adult Students.

    2) There is More Negative Correlation between scores of Dysfunctional Attitudes and Educational

    Performance, i.e., The Higher the Dysfunctional Attitudes the Lower will be the Educational

    Performance, and Vice Versa. Both for Male as well as for Female Adult Students.

    3) After the Therapy; the scores of Dysfunctional Attitudes are Lower within the adults of

    ATTITUDINIZE THERAPY GROUP as compared to the scores of Dysfunctional Attitudes

    within the adults of NO THERAPY GROUP. Both for Male as well as for Female Adult

    Students.

    DISCUSSION

    The Means, Standard Deviations, correlation coefficients, paired sample t-test, paired sample

    correlations, and Paired sample Statistics were computed (Table I, II, III, IV & V) and ALL THE

    GRAPHS, to examine the relationship between application of Attitudinize Psychotherapy and

    improvement of Self Esteem and Educational Performance within the Personality of an individual.

    Statistically significant results reveal that Attitudinize Psychotherapy employs a positive, active,

    educational approach that focuses on how to change the attitudes and on seeking solutions rather than

    just simply talking about the past or exploring ones feelings and problems. Attitudinize Psychotherapyis typically provided within an emotionally supportive, empathic relationship, giving opportunity to

    express feelings and receive caring in addition to working directly on positive attitude change in thinking

    and lifestyle. The treatment is often short term because it is based on a clear attitude conceptualization

    that guides the treatment process. Attitudinize Psychotherapy emphasizes a collaborative relationship

    between the therapist and the client wherein they work together to specify goals and to implement the

    treatment strate
