How would you feel if you were a patient of Naikan therapy…
$17.50Many indigenous methods of healing differ from Western notions of healing. Indigenous healing is a culture-specific intervention, which is indigenously developed to treat the native people. Naikan therapy is a type of indigenous healing, which was created and promoted by Ishin Yoshimoto. In 1953, Yoshimoto established the first Naikan center in Yamato Koriyama, Nara, Japan. Naikan means introspection. Nai means inner or inside and kan means looking. Therefore, Naikan literally means looking inside or looking within. It involves a process of continuous meditation based upon highly structured instruction in self-observation and self-reflection, and its purposes are self-discovery and self-renewal. In Naikan, we explore our past using the following three themes:
- What we received from others.
- What we did for others.
- The troubles we caused others.
In your paper, answer the following:
- How would you feel if you were a patient of Naikan therapy?
- Have you experienced indigenous healing in the past? If you have, describe your experience. If you know someone who has experienced indigenous healing, describe the story you heard from that person.
- What are some of the differences between this therapy and Western psychotherapy?
The paper should be 4 pages, 12 Roman Time, double space

Your Final Project should define the management practice or breakthrough idea, discuss the expected impact on improved patient outcomes, higher levels of customer satisfaction, lower costs, etc., and identify the critical success factors associated with implementing these programs in a health services organization. You should identify which of these management practices or breakthrough ideas has, in your judgment, the greatest, second greatest, and third greatest potential benefit for healthcare organizations. Clearly explain the rationale for your rankings.
You are free to consider any management practices or breakthrough ideas so long as they originated outside the healthcare industry. Some examples you might consider include:

EARLY LIFE SPAN ANAYSIS: COURSE PAPER
$39.00EARLY LIFE SPAN ANAYSIS: COURSE PAPER
You will need to choose two people from two distinct life periods(e.g., a 6 month old vs. a 3-year old, a 5 year old vs. a 12 year old, etc) and interview them about three specific domains of development covered in either the textbook or in class.These domains can be broad (e.g., cognitive development, moral development, etc) or they can be specific (e.g., autobiographical memory development, language development, attachment, etc). For example, you might ask a parent about the physical(e.g., growth, nutrition, brain development), cognitive(e.g., cognition, memory, and language),and social development(e.g., attachment, peer relationships, empathy and prosocial behavior)of his or her infant and then compare your interview observations of the infant to a toddler around these same domains. You will be required to provide research support from the textbook or from class lectures to attach to your observations. Sample papers will be provided for you and we will discuss this paper more thoroughly as the course progresses.
This is an excerpt from a sample paper. The domain is physical development: “Sara is 37 inches tall and weighs about 27lbs. This is about average for females her age. Sara’s mother reported that at her two year check-up with her pediatrician, Sara was in the 70th percentile for height and the 40th percentile for weight. The rate of growth during the second year of life tapers off in comparison to the first year. This is consistent with Sara’s case. Her mother reports that Sara has remained about the same size for the last few months. In concert with this relative slowing of physical growth, toddler’s appetites often decrease or go through periods where they eat very sparsely followed by periods when they eat several large meals a day plus snacks. Sara’s mother reports that this fits Sara’s pattern of eating quite well. Some days Sara may only eat a few snacks and maybe some applesauce or yogurt and seem complete satisfied. Other days her meals are quite large sometimes eating a sandwich, banana, cottage cheese and several fig Newton cookies in a single sitting. This can be quite frustrating for Sara’s mother, especially the days she doesn’t eat much. Sara’s mother reported that she is always worried that Sara will get hungry in the middle of the night or that something is wrong with her if she doesn’t eat much.”
Paper Specifics:
Your paper should be typed and double spaced with reasonable margins and reasonably sized font (e.g., 12 point Times New Roman). Assign a title to your paper and place it at the top of the first page. Put your name in the upper right corner. Do not use plastic covers and staple pages together (do not use plastic covers). Also, use APA format when necessary, but you do not need to include a reference page unless you cite sources that were not in the textbook. The early lifespan paper is due on March 30, 2015. Please only hand in hard copies of your paper. Emailed papers will not be accepted. Most papers range from 12-15 pages in length.
Papers will be graded according to how well they are written, relate to the assignment, and the ways in which ideas and concepts learned in class or in the textbook are linked to the observations made during each interview. Each domain will be worth 15 points (x 6 domains = 90) + 10 points for overall style = 100 points in total.
