  • self-portraits are an extension of their self-absorption, while others view it as nothing more than an outlet for self-expression,

      Some may view the idea of a "selfie" as a form of expressing themselves, while others view it as just another trend. Either way, its an idea that has adapted to society.
  • As tweens and teens try to form their identity, selfies serve as a way to test how they look, and therefore feel, in certain outfits, make-up, poses and places. And because they live in a digital world, self-portraits provide a way of participating and affiliating with that world.

      By participating in posting "selfies" , it is giving people permission for others to comment and voice their opinions about the picture
  • they are simply reflections of their self-exploration and nothing more. “Self captured images allow young adults and teens to express their mood states and share important experiences,”

      The saying " a picture is worth a thousand words" applies to the idea of a selfie.

  • With Facebook becoming a prominent resource in young people’s’ therapy sessions, they could provide a useful jumping off point for addressing a teen’s or young adult’s self-perceptions.

      The comments and interactions online can be either positive or negative. It just depends on what is being posted
  • “Psychologically speaking, there may be some benefit to participating in sharing selfies because this practice is interwoven in our social culture and is a way to interact socially with others.”

      This helps support my idea that posting selfies can help boost a person's self-image.
  • selfies could be a way for therapists to break the ice and start a dialogue about what the teen was feeling when the self-portrait was taken, or why he snapped the picture in the first place
  • the material that children and adolescents view online — selfies included — can be influential in molding their sense of self.

  • Electroconvulsive therapy can differ in its application in three ways: electrode placement, frequency of treatments, and the electrical waveform of the stimulus.

      Relate to Acupuncture.  -Within my last visit the Acupunctures attached a small electric pulse (not painful) to the pinpoint of the pain.  -I was knocked out within I believe less than 5 min. and awoken pain free.  -All the tension seemed it only needed to be stretched out. So I followed my treatment with yoga and felt new the following day.  -My question is that culturally Asians use natural medicine, would this application in my current culture benefit from alternative medicine with similar application or to treat a similar problem.

      - AA now have online forums - Are online forums the first step to finding face to face groups?
  • he “12 step program” designed by Alcoholics Anonymous has proven to be a tangible tool for recovery from alcohol addiction and can now be accessed and followed online with feedback from members of the online support group community. Online alcoholism rehab may not ever completely replace face-to-face counseling, including group therapy, as encountered in A.A. meetings.  However, to those who are taking an initial step toward their recovery, the flow of support and strength to be gained from coming in touch with real people at online support groups for alcoholism can be enough of a stimulus to help one make it through one more day.
