Therapeutic Recreation relies on the principles that people, mainly children can learn better through recreational environments and activities. In the therapeutic setting therapeutic recreation relates to the use of a recreational activity to allow children the opportunity to learn skills and abilities they might not be able to learn by other means, as in the therapeutic recreational setting learning is done in a natural and low pressure way and in this setting children especially have limited pressures to perform. Unlike more structured forms of therapy the environment and activity offers a sense of freedom that allows learning to come naturally when the individual is in a relaxed state and in theory and practice when they are more able to apply and retain lessons learned as a process of desire to achieve greater skills at the recreational task and possibly to apply them to other environments. Therapeutic recreation can serve as a bridge between structured learning and the ability of a person to adapt skills learned there, in a relaxed state to other environments, such as a learning classroom or at home. Additionally, some special needs children learn during therapeutic recreation physical as well as cognitive lessons that may then be retained in other situations. Therapeutic Recreation has been particularly helpful with children with special needs as this group of children needs support and adaptive skills to get along in the world and some of these skills can be better developed in a non-threatening situation. Children with autism spectrum disorder seem to be particularly responsive to therapeutic recreation because the environment allows them to connect with feelings and cognitions that may be difficult for them to deal with in a more charged real life situation where there may be consequences and unknowns that are frightening and therefore stifling to their ability to cope and thrive. Though autism spectrum disorders are varied in an extreme curve, and some individuals are high functioning while others are nearly completely socially disconnected, recreational therapy seems to be geared to their special need to focus on objects or animals that are not threatening to them and can help them learn a set of structured goals, therapeutically defined, much like and individual...

Constructive Therapy Constructivism is a theoretical perspective that asserts that people attempt to make sense of the world by developing their own set of personal individualized constructs. Personal experience, interpretation, social context, and linguistic factors define a person's subjective reality.

Forgiveness on human health. In its simplest form, the purpose of the study is to evaluate human psychological stress that might constitute a risk factor for heart disease.

other values Moral character, that is, having courage, being persistent, dismissing distractions and so on in pursuit of the goal. These are attempts to define ethics by describing actions, and fairly specific constellations of actions at that. Frederich Paulson, a 19th century philosopher of ethics, defined ethics as a science of moral duty (1899). Almost 100 years later, Swenson also used the concept of study in defining ethics, saying that it included
Cannabis in the UK: De-Penalisation, Decriminalisation, or Legalisation? In October of 2015, the Parliament of the United Kingdom was forced to debate whether the current prohibition on cannabis should end in some way.
