communication skills: Encyclopedia II - Postmodernism - Postmodernism and its critics

The term post-modernism is often used pejoratively to describe tendencies perceived of as Relativist, Counter-enlightenment or antimodern, particularly in relationship to critiques of Rationalism, Universalism or Science. It is also sometimes used to describe tendencies in the society which are held to be antithetical to traditional systems of morality. The criticisms of postmodernism are often made complex by the still fluid nature of the term, in many cases the criticisms are clearly directed at poststructuralism and the philosophical and academic movements ...

communication skills: Encyclopedia II - Postmodernism - Deconstruction

Deconstruction is a term which is used to denote the application of post-modern ideas of criticism, or theory, to a "text" or "artifact". A deconstruction is meant to undermine the frame of reference and assumptions that underpin the text or the artifact. In its original use, a "deconstruction" is an important textual "occurrence" described and analyzed by many postmodern authors and philosophers. They argued that aspects in the text itself would undermine its own authority or assumptions, that internal contradictions would erase boun ...

communication skills: Encyclopedia II - Postmodernism - Relationship between modernism and postmodernism

The relationship between modernism and postmodernism, can best be examined through the works of several authors, some of whom argue for such a distinction, while others call it into question. Following a methodology common among the authors whose work this article examines, a number of artists and writers commonly described as modernist or postmodernist will be considered, although it is noted that this classification is at times controversial. Although useful distinctions can be drawn between the modernist and p ...

communication skills: Encyclopedia II - Postmodernism - Uses of the term

The term derives from postmodernity, which postmodern theorist Jean-François Lyotard understood to represent the culmination of the process of modernity and Enlightenment thought, towards an accelerating pace of cultural change, to a point where constant change has in fact become the status quo, leaving the notion of progress obsolete. In architecture, art, music and literature, postmodernism is a name for many stylistic reactions to, and developments from, modernism. Postmodern style is often characterized by eclecticism, dig ...

communication skills: Encyclopedia II - Traumatic incident reduction - What is TIR useful for?

It is highly effective in eliminating the negative effects of past traumatic incidents. It is especially useful when: a. A person has a specific trauma or set of traumas that she feels has adversely affected her, whether or not her condition meets the clinical definition of post-traumatic stress disorder. b. A person reacts inappropriately or overreacts in certain situations, and it is thought some past trauma might have something to do with it. c. A person experiences unaccountable or inappropriate negative emoti ...

communication skills: Encyclopedia II - Postmodernism - The development of postmodernism

Features of postmodern culture begin to arise in the 1920s with the emergence of the Dada movement, which featured collage and a focus on the framing of objects and discourse as being as important, or more important, than the work itself. Another strand which would have tremendous impact on post-modernism would be the existentialists, who placed the centrality of the individual narrative as being the source of morals and understanding. However, it is with the end of the Second Wor ...

communication skills: Encyclopedia II - Dyslexia - Facts and statistics

Between 5 and 15 percent of the population can be diagnosed as suffering from various degrees of dyslexia. As previously mentioned, dyslexia can be substantially compensated for with proper therapy, training and equipment. Most researchers agree that there is a fairly even gender balance amongst dyslexics, and that the fact that it is reported more in males is because of selection factors and bias. Dyslexia's main manifestation is a difficulty in developing reading skills in elementary school children. Those difficulties result ...

communication skills: Encyclopedia II - Dyslexia - Variations and related disorders

Dyslexia is a learning disorder. Its underlying cause may be neurological in nature, but from there, the systems involved splay out into visual, language, etc. FMRI (Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) has been used to demonstrate differences in the dyslexic brain patterns, but much research still needs to be done to apply this information. The disorder can be partially compensated for with appropriate therapy. In addition to the typical forms of dyslexia, there are numerous related disorders: Semantic dyslexia - a for ...

communication skills: Encyclopedia II - Dyslexia - Public support

In the United States, Canada and in the United Kingdom, some people say that there is a lack of adequate support and a general lack of interest in the learning disabilities of children in public schools. This has recently led to legal action by private parties against public schools in the United States and state schools in the United Kingdom. Some charitable organizations like the Scottish Rite Foundation have undertaken the task of testing for dyslexia and making training classes and materials avail ...

communication skills: Encyclopedia II - Pervasive developmental disorder - Cure and care

There is no known cure for PDD. Medications are used to address certain behavioral problems; therapy for children with PDD should be specialized according to the child's specific needs. Some children with PDD benefit from specialized classrooms in which the class size is small and instruction is given on a one-to-one basis. Others function well in standard special education classes or regular classes with support. Early intervention including appropriate and specialized educational programs and support services plays ...

communication skills: Encyclopedia II - Traumatic incident reduction - What are the contraindications and risks of TIR?

TIR is contraindicated for use with clients who: a. Are psychotic or nearly so. TIR is most definitely an "uncovering" technique and hence is not appropriate for such clients. b. Are currently abusing drugs or alcohol. TIR is not useful for detoxifying clients. A client should be stably off drugs or alcohol for two months before starting TIR. However a special TIR program addressed to drugs can be very effective in preventing recidivism. c. Are not making a self-determined choice to do TIR. For TIR to work, the client ha ...
