Description

This unit is an introductory course whose main aim is to broaden your understanding and perspective of oral literature through studying the oral literature of your community and that of other East African communities. I am aware that, by now, most of you are exposed to some oral literature both through formal education and also through contact with the material as is practiced and performed within your own communities. However, I am also aware that due to various influences, students are not able to fully appreciate the multidimensionality of the oral literature discipline and more so its significance in literary studies. This course is thus designed so that your understanding of the subject becomes broadened and that you are able to appreciate: (a), the place of oral literature within the wider literary studies and African literature in particular. Oral literature needs to be recognised as a unique form of literary expression, exhibiting imaginative and creative dimensions that enrich the study of African literature; (b) the place of oral literature within the rich heritage of the African Oral traditions; (c) the place of oral literature in the rediscovery of African cultural heritage eclipsed by unfavorable historical circumstances and (d) the place of oral literature within the Contemporary written African literary tradition

INTRODUCTION TO COUNSELLING PSYCHOLOGY YEAR 1 Trending!
DEFINITION OF TERMS Counseling is a process, as well as a relationship, between persons. Contrary to what some people believe, counseling is not concentrated advice-giving. The aim of the counselor is usually to assist the person or persons (client or clients) in realizing a change in behavior or attitude, or to seek achievement of goals. Often there are varieties of problems for which the counselee may seek to find help. Some forms of counseling include the teaching of social skills, effective communication, spiritual guidance, decision-making, and career choices. Counseling may sometimes be needed to aid one in coping with a crisis. Other types of counseling include premarital and marital counseling; grief and loss (divorce, death or amputation); domestic violence and other types of abuse; special counseling situations like terminal illness (death and dying); as well as counseling of emotionally and mentally disturbed individuals. Counseling could be short-term (brief counseling) or long-term. Psychology is the study of the human mind and behavior. Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior, according to the American Psychological Association. Psychology is a multifaceted discipline and includes many sub-fields of study such areas as human development, sports, health, clinical, social behavior and cognitive processes
