Even counselors have irrational ideas

The author examines several of Ellis' “irrational ideas” as they relate specifically to counselors. These ideas provide a convenient vehicle for the discussion of some typical misconceptions about counseling. Counselors are encouraged to analyze their own feelings and thought processes and to determine irrational ideas in addition to those described here to which they may be susceptible.     

Autophotographic Individuality Predicts Creativity: A Seven‐Year Follow‐up

Approximately seven years after completing a photographic essay about the self, 44 adults were surveyed about their lives, current creative activities, and their work values. In accord with prediction, those who devised richer, more multidimensional and creative photo essays‐the more individualistic — were engaged in more creative lifestyles as adults and rated creativity as a job value higher than their less individualistic peers. Thus, unique self‐portrayals through photography were shown to have impressive predictive validity well beyond the college years.
