Could anyone explain where this theory originated from?

I know Fritz Pearls is known as the founder, but how did he find it?

Has anyone had this done to them or do you know anything about it?

I am learning about it at uni next week, but want to understand the benefits of it.

Thanks x

Many things have instrumental value, that is, they have value as means to an end.

However, there must be some things which are merely instrumental, but have some value in themselves, this is what we call 'Intrinsic Value'.

In your view, what has intrinsic value?

A 65 year old man comes to his physician with complaints of abdominal pain that is persistent but not extreme. Results reveal that he has metastatic cancer of the pancreas. The man has just retired from a busy professional career, and he and his wife are about to leave on around the world cruise that they've been planning for over a year.

Should he be told about his diagnosis?

A 78yr old Asian woman is admitted to hospital with weight loss, weakness and a pulmonary mass. Results show that she has pulmonary TB. Her family approaches the physician and asks that the patient not be told, stating that in her upbringing in mainland China TB was considered fatal and to tell her would be like giving her a 'death sentence'.

Should the families concerns be respected?

The standard of professional candour with patients has undergone a significant change over the past 30 years. Healthcare professionals are increasingly expected to communicate information to patients that is not immediately related to treatment decisions.

The purpose of truth telling is not simply about enabling patients to make informed choices about health care and other aspects of their lives but to inform them about their situation.

Truth telling fosters trust in the health care professionals and is based on the respect owed to patients as persons.

Do patients want to know the truth about their condition?

How much do patients need to be told?

What if the truth could be harmful?

What if the patients family ask to withhold the truth from the patient?

Is it justifiable to withhold the truth from a patient?

What about patients with different religious and cultural beliefs?

Is it justifiable to decieve a patient with placebo or to administer drugs covertly?

"I suggest that the organ that really matters is the cerebral cortex. If the cortex is dead, there is permanent loss of consciousness and there can be no person, no personality, even though the organism may still be alive (with a beating heart, and even breathing movements). If the cortex of the brain dead, the person is dead. I suggest that it should be legal to use the organs from the body of the dead person for transplantation."

Here's some of mine:

Eating popcorn at the movies;

Watching a nursery school nativity play;

The feel of velvet;

The smell of baking bread;

Someone else cooking dinner.

Cool coton sheets on a hot summer night.

I have a friend, we've known each other for over 25 years. We haven't been best friends all of those years, but we've always been friends and hung around in the same groups etc. For the past 9 years I have classed her as my best friend. Through those years we have helped each other out and supported each other whenever needed. We don't see each other that much, but we both know we are there if need be. I went up to see her the other day, and I felt as though I had moved on and that there was nothing more we could do for each other. I was wondering if people are only with us through our journey of life for as long as we feel we need them?

I would always be there if she needed me in any way and i know she would for me, but have we come to a sort of impasse?

What's your thoughts on this?

That famous saying, 'truth hurts', is it really true?

And can the truth be detramental to a person?

if you had a close relative/friend who was dying of cancer and a scientist had developed a drug that would cure them, but he was asking too much money for the drug, you couldn't afford to buy it. Everyone around you and in your community had managed to help you raise half of what the scientist was asking (to which he would still be making a good profit on), but the scientist refused to sell it to you - he wanted the whole price.

would you try and steal the drug to save your relative even though it is illegal to steal?
