Psychology Response
Psychology Response
I strongly agree with the argument on the existing correlation between the psychological and theological views of the philosophical anthropology, for instance, Entwistle statement that, problem that exist between the two are only created by lack of appropriate understanding of theology by human beings (Entwistle, 2015). Aigner also back it up by saying most Christians in several circumstances has totally lost the proper meaning theology (Aigner, 2016). Therefore, psychology and theology are more reconcilable as their credible views depend on each other.
Comment 2
In all ways I agree with this argument that both psychology and theology can be put together focusing on their common relationship and productive similarities on the perspective of their interest with the philosophical anthropology (Entwistle, 2015). Additionally, theology and psychology are both motivated by compassion and understanding, which facilitate their strong integration that is more useful to the humanities. Hence, human relation with God depends majorly on the theological and psychological interpretation of what we know, thus it help people to achieve the best in life (Bonhoeffer, 2005).
Comment 3
In order for a group to make positive achievements in its respective fields of focus, I agree with this person that all the strategic measures must be put in place. For example, setting up the group objectives, such as knowing each member of the group, coming up with the topic of discussion, its purpose and expectation is more critical in a group. Therefore, as a group leader one must be able to develop confidence, motivated but sometimes should be ready for intimidations to attain the group goals.
Comment 4
I come into an agreement with the writer’s argument that the group leader or counselor plays a great role in running the group but must involve extensive preparation and competency. Also, the group leader has several duties that she or he must carry out for the success of the group, for instance, it is the responsibility of the leader and other group members to ensure no harm is done to any individual (Kounin, 2005). Inclusion, counselor must keep the group confidentiality as well as take action on any misconduct in the group (Gladding, 2016, pg 91).
