Interviews with the Experts: Assignment Sheet The Interviews with the Experts Videos are intended to extend your understanding of the material in the textbook by giving you a behind-the-scenes look at aspects of personality and its application by some of the leaders in the field. There are no right or wrong answers, but your grade will be based on the nature, quality, and relevance of your responses. 1. Imagine that you are writing a brief description of this video for people who are considering watching it. How would you characterize or summarize it (in 50-75 words). Dr. Neimeyer follows many of George Kelly’s theories, specifically the “Personal Construct Theory.” Kelly states that cognition is just a human construct. He believes that we put value on things for them to have a purpose. Everyone has their own perception of things based by our own schema. Dr. N listened to 75 hours of psychotherapy sessions Kelly had with one of his patients. Dr. N noticed in these sessions that people around the patient had a lot of influence on them and they would draw comparisons to the people to help the patient come up with their own construct. 2. Identify any three “take-aways” that you got from this video. These could be any points that it made, thoughts that it sparked, or issues or applications that it discussed. Take-Away #1:___ Construct therapy helps patients to understand why they think do the things they do. They are also to be praised for this and not demonized as people do these things for higher reasons/good Take-Away #2: __ Whenever we feel betrayal, loved ones, etc., our core constructs change. Take-Away #3: ___ There is no right or wrong to grieving; however, we can alter our construct and give the outcomes a meaning. 3. Imagine that you are writing a review of this video that summarizes your evaluation of it. Please indicate what you liked BEST and LEAST about the video and give it a rating (based on a 5-star system). Note that the evaluation of your response is based on your identifying the things you liked BEST and LEAST, and your assignment of rating, and NOT the number stars you give it or whether you liked or disliked the video. Your evaluations will be helpful in relation to encouraging you to reflect more deeply on the video, and provide us with feedback that can be useful in relation to the value of the video’s use in the future. Be sure to identify:
A). What I liked Best: Kelly’s approach brings in the emotions behind certain things as many theories don’t mention emotions which play a part in the development of personality. Cognitive processes is interesting to me, so I liked that there was a lot of talk about that as well. Also, Kelly’s psychotherapy structure follows almost a psychological approach as we are trying to find the purpose of and meaning behind our actions and thoughts. B). What I liked Least (or would like to have heard more about): I’m conflicted with what Kelly talks about pain coming from freedom in a sense. I think how we respond to pain in our lives can either help or hurt our achievement of enlightenment. I agree but I don’t at the same time. C). My overall rating: (1 to 5 stars): ____ 4.5 _______
