PAVLOV'S DOGGIES, STINKIN' THINKIN' AND LEARNED HELPLESSNESS
Learned helplessness, an increasingly significant barrier to a healthy quality of life, can result in deep depression or even suicide, and therefore is a crucial mental health issue. The condition is usually the result of how parents, teachers and caregivers communicate with a child. Untreated, the person suffering from learned helplessness (often termed pessimism) remains unempowered, inadequately esteemed, and the pervasive belief that he cannot take care of himself or take responsibility for his life. Included are a quiz by Martin E. P. Seligman, an expert on learned helplessness and cognitive therapy, which offers tendencies which can alert you or someone close to you to the importance of optimism and pessimism in our current culture.
