Thank you so much! This has answered a lot of my questions!

"Unconditional" Positive Regard. Lots of valid and interesting points there Pat. Thank you.

Would like to know more about this...

Fantastic! You have brought a lot of clarity to these two approaches. However, I'll like a bit more clarity as to whether they are both research designs or approaches to data analysis. I'll also like to know where computer assisted data analysis comes in- can NVivo, for instance, perform grounded theory and thematic analysis procedures?

This was excellent! Thank you! I was getting GT and TA muddled with all the reading I was doing in trying to decide which avenue to take my dissertation down, but this made some wonderful, clear points that I can keep in my mind going forward.

thank you very much :)

Lots to like here Pat thank you for your analysis. I'm a master's student pursuing integrative counselling and psychotherapy here are my comments 1. Organismic Valuing - It's possible that Rogers' theory of personality doesn't neatly fit into the scientific realm, and imposing the criterion of falsifiability may not be entirely appropriate. What are your thoughts on introspection and phenomenological realities that are only ascertained after accurate insight? Not all truth is scientific and the scientific method is only one of many ways to explore the nature of reality. 2. UPR and Core Conditions - You attempted to show how ABA contradicts UPR and Core Conditions. How does it do that? 3. Anti-social emotions as stunted self-actualising tendency- The tumour could have been caused by the stunted self-actualising tendency. Does matter give rise to mind? Just general questions to start a dialogue you might never see them or be drawn to respond. Regardless, I agree that the theory isn't integral and that including other theories is crucial to solidifying our understanding of personality.

Great video - Thank you so much!

In summary: we don't know.

Hi Pat, thanks for the video, wanted to share my thoughts. I think the brain tumour is an odd example personally, because that is beyond the scope of any therapeutic approach. It would be like criticising a hairdryer for not being able to extinguish a fire, you know? It’s not designed for that. So it feels disingenuous to say PCT can’t literally shrink tumours I do get that PCT is criticised for not being appropriate for more severe mental health disorders, and that’s valid, but you could likely find a number of conditions or scenarios which other forms of therapy are similarly inequipped to handle. For instance, I know a CBT practitioner who became disillusioned with the approach when he realised how ineffective it is for treating grief and bereavement, which PCT could be more suitable for The conditions of worth argument regarding autistic children is also a bit iffy. My interpretation of conditions of worth is that children are told they are loved, clever, talented etc always, rather than only when they have performed a desirable behaviour like came first in a talent show. This way they learn their caregivers love is unconditional So I’m confused at what you mean when you say this is bad for autistic children. I suppose direct communication, “yes this is good”, “no that is bad” can be helpful, but there are also autistic adults who are traumatised from having to repress their natural tendencies due to it being shamed out of them as children. They mask intensely as a result and this has very negative outcomes for mental health. In this sense, being told they are loved and accepted unconditionally would have a positive effect. Perhaps it depends on the level of support needs of the child? I would also say the organismic self example regarding childhood food choices only means that the concept of an organismic self does not apply to children. This is a limitation for sure, but imo is far from suggesting that the organismic self does not exist in adulthood Those are my two cents. I hope my tone isn’t seen as attacking, I mean this in the spirit of a friendly and respectful debate (which you seem very open to!) Thank you for the video :)

*Promo SM* 😊

Thanks for this video it saved me a lot of time reading through books and articles for my disso - I was literally about to pull my hair out before watching this. The examples really helped too!!

A very interesting conversation! I would love to hear how you follow through on the progress people with compulsive disorders make after psychotherapy! Also, it would be interesting research to see what therapy is most effective in the treatment of compulsivity! Thank you both!

I had the compulsion to like this video 👍

You just saved my hours of study time to validate my research design for my master's thesis. Hats off and keep up the good work

Just clarify this one thing for me, left is left and right is right, right?

Brilliant, lucid account and analysis. Thank you Pat. Very stimulating and thought provoking!

This helped a great deal thank you. The new concepts could do better with examples though for better understanding.

thank you for this video, it very helped me!

hi thanks fot this explanation could you explain the neural part please?

What if your not intelligent nor good at textbook hard work. Can people with ADHD graduate from neuroscience

Damn, that's fascinating, and good job with communicating all of that info. clearly.

Thanks for the video its really helped me during the methodology section of my undergraduate research project 😄

I'm so glad that I found your channel! I research Evangelicalism and religious trauma so a lot of what you spoke about in this video is right up my ally!

Another great video :)

Thank you dude, I was totally lost on this assignment until watching this video. keep up the good work!

amazing work!!

Very interesting research and really well explained. I like the idea of using breath to calm down in an otherwise hectic moment

So far the most helpful video I’ve watched. Carl Rodgers for dummies!

Hey, that was so helpful! Thank you pat :)

hello good sir can you integrate thematic analysis in grounded theory and vise versa? im confused Thanks

Love this theory but I’ll tell you the real reason that our brains control opposite sides of the body. First of all, our bodies already process a LOT of information backwards, include sight and hearing. The hemispheres being backwards just keeps everything in the same [backwards] direction. We also now understand the importance of right-side dominance. For example, our heart is on the left, but less important organs are on the right, and any highly important organ has two of each (like the kidneys) or two diff sides of the brain. Our bodies were designed to be right-side dominant, which means that we attack and are being attacked with our right side. Therefore the body placed the heart (the most important organ) on the left side, and the part of the brain that controls our right side, is actually on the left, to insure that any brain damage sustained on the right side in battle, would not affect our dominant side. It’s all in keeping with our predatory roots.

You are awesome

Great Video! Idk your name but thank you!

This helped me in my coursework. Was hard to find a detailed video on this topic. Thanks for making this.

I am using thematic analysis in my doctorate studies. This video has helped me in clarifying my methods and, in particular, has given me the tools to evaluate my own work. thank you.

Hi! Thank you for this informative and concise explanation! I am considering using grounded theory for my research. However, I am still unclear on the differences between grounded theory and inductive thematic analysis approaches, as both don't use prior theory(ies) to develop the themes (or theory in grounded theory). Would you kindly elaborate more on this?

Thank you for making a helpful video while having a handsome face.

I'm loving your videos! I'm currently working towards my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and I'm finding your videos to be very interesting. Based on the content of this video, do you think that some people are born without hope of being what we consider good? If someone's neurology is "off", is it possible for them to contribute to society in a productive way or does our neurology determine our ability to be moral?

This is a wonderful video

why is the sound out of sequence?

cryptocurrency & NFT's ?

Great video, love it. Makes me think of all the other price bubbles. But then there's other incredible companies that buck that trend

Great content! God bless Ireland!

excellent stuff. thanks for sharing.

I came here because of my report about the nervous system. I did further research but this video gives some understandable details.

Well, regarding the Charles Whitman example, perhaps his giving into this violent tendencies was also due to him not getting any support or recognition from others that he was having symptoms of a brain tumor. In this sense, his self-actualizing tendency was blocked. One could imagine an alternate set of events in which Charles Whitman was recognized as being ill by his loved ones, and sent to the hospital for treatment, in which case he would have had no chance to do what he did. Another example is George Gershwin. Gershwin had a massive brain tumor and complained of headaches and symptoms that fell on deaf ears, and remained unrecognized even by those who were closest to him. In this way, Gershwin's self-actualizing tendency was blocked. I enjoyed looking at this video very much. I liked your discussion of how ABA is contrary to unconditional positive regard, but I don't quite get that, either. I can see how ABA involves "conditioning" in the learning sense of the word, but this seems like a totally different concept from "conditional" positive regard in the Rogerian sense. I have not looked at the sources yet that you provide. I will do that, but the above is my first impressions regarding what you talked about.

Thank you so much for this clear video!!!!

Very interesting presentation Pat! I like the way it clearly shows that our brains and how they work is no simple matter! It's amazing to think that our history continues to influence us and we might have no awareness of this! Great that we have dedicated scientists working to learn more about what's going on "under the hood!" Thanks and continue your great work! Congratulations on your new post too!

Hi Pat, thank you so much for the amazing video, I have spent days trying to understand both GT and TA and the difference between the two and you just answered all my questions in 25 minutes. For my final year project I'm doing a qualitative research method study, and I had some rather long questions is there anyway I could have a discussion with you please regarding which one I could use for my study (GT or TA) because research has been done before on the topic I want to do but not exactly what I want to do, there are other aspects that have not been looked at. Also from your experience which is easier to do GT or TA? Sorry for all these questions.
