  • Description: This thesis is an attempt to provide an understanding of drug addiction in its relation to the tasks and arrests which take place during the developmental process. Current theories of drug addiction are situated within the parameters of developmental theory; Object Relations Theory, Lacanian Structuralism and Freud’s concept of the Oedipus Complex are drawn on. The dual regressive and progressive function of drugs as it relates to developmental tasks and arrests is illustrated, the argument being that a very specific relationship exists between the compulsive use of drugs and the developmental tasks which need to be avoided as well as those which need to be negotiated. The case study research method is made use of in the attempt to illustrate the links between drug addiction and specific developmental tasks. I present an in-depth analysis of the developmental history of Rafiq Jaffer, an inpatient at the drug unit at Lentegeur Psychiatric Hospital, drawing on the material which was collected during nine months of individual therapy. As Borderline Personality Disorder is the primary diagnosis in the case of Rafiq Jaffer, the emphasis is by necessity put on borderline pathology. The primary aim of the thesis is, however, to highlight the need to understand the compulsive use of drugs within the context of the developmental process, thereby developing a conceptualisation against which further cases may be tested. , Thesis (MA) -- Faculty of Humanities, Psychology, 1991

  • Description: This essay is intended, firstly for those who at some time have had the urge to include words into their otherwise conventional representational images, but are deterred by the suspicion that such elements have no place in the picture plane. Secondly, it is hoped, that this dissertation will provide some understanding concerning the motivations and aims of artists, using "verbal symbols" in their visual images. At this point, I offer some explanation of the term "verbal symbols". The alphabet that we are accustomed to today differs vastly from the first writing that was invented. The naming of items nowadays is arbitrarily established and all we are left with is a name that bears no visual resemblance to the object it represents in real life. The word "house", for example, tells us nothing of the physical nature of a house. However, owing to our conditioning, the word evokes in us a mental picture of a house, even if the details of this picture will vary amongst individuals. Words then are symbols which denote, broadly speaking, objects that exist in our daily lives, without being in any way visual representations of these objects. Of course there are also words which are dependent on other words for their meaning, such as prepositions, conjunctions or suffices, but this is irrelevant to this essay. , Thesis (MFA) -- Faculty of Humanities, Fine Art, 1991

  • Description: The case study method was used to investigate the manifestations of the death instinct as evidenced in a pathological organization. Work of Kleinian analysts in this area was employed as a basis for interrogating the material that emerged in a five month psychotherapy with a borderline disordered patient. It was demonstrated how the pathological organization was employed as a means of evading paranoid- schizoid fears and depressive position anxieties. Two ways in which defences were assembled into the pathological organization could be traced, both leading to resistance in the therapy. The one set of defences would entail a complete withdrawal from contact, where the patient would hold herself aloof from experience through a solitary invulnerability. The other set of defences involved an active attack on the vulnerable, libidinal self. Identified with the bad, anti-libidinal self, the patient would attempt to annihilate the libidinal self in various ways. Fragmentation of her thoughts and memories, self-destructive behaviour and phantasized and actual attacks on the objects in her world which called forth her neediness were all evidenced. In conclusion, the issue of whether a more active interpretation of the manifestations of the death instinct or a less interpretative, more holding therapeutic stance should be adopted in the therapy with patients exhibiting a pathological organization was raised. , Thesis (MA) -- Faculty of Humanities, Psychology, 1991

  • Description: In reviewing the 1990 financial year for TGWU (1 Jan 1990 - 31 Dec 1990) it is clear that the union was in an unstable financial position. The income from subscriptions was forever fluctuating. In most cases expenditure for this period exceeded the income from subscriptions. Our bank balance was, from time to time, in an overdraft situation. The union couldn’t be self-sufficient—and as a result, relied on foreign funding. This report will deal with both the income and expenditure for the said financial period.

  • Description: We have entered the period of the 90's in our poitical, economic and social lives. We are facing the challenge of transfer of power into the hands of the people. The working class is part of the challenge that everyone will have to meet which is striving for a National Democratic Revolution. The working class must also shape political content by advancing its own class perspective through waging class struggle. TGWU is part of the broader liberation forces in South Africa. The political and economic crisis which we face challenges us to develop strategies with more determination and commitment than ever. In order to achieve what we stand for, it becomes an urgent necessity to look at ourselves openly and honestly and assess what we have done and achieved in the last sixteen months.

  • Description: The purpose of this study is to ascertain whether the clients who make use of the services of the Psychology Clinic at Rhodes University perceive the masters students being trained at the Clinic as providing adequate psychotherapy. Using a sample of 18 clients, who underwent psychotherapy at the Rhodes Psychology Clinic during 1990, a follow-up study was conducted to ascertain the perceived success of that psychotherapy. Those variables most pertinent to the outcome of psychotherapy are examined. The study uses both qualitative and quantitative methodology and shows that, overall, 89% of the clients who participated in this study perceived the psychotherapy at the Rhodes Psychology Clinic to be satisfactory. The study also highlights those factors which were perceived to be negative in the psychotherapeutic equation and it is hoped that the findings can be beneficial in planning more efficient services for the Clinic in the future. , Thesis (MA) -- Faculty of Humanities, Psychology, 1993

  • Description: This research project was developed from the idea that children's drawings reflect both their internal emotional lives and their external lived worlds. The subjects of the project were sexually abused children referred to Fort England Hospital during the first half of 1992. The Kinetic-Tree-House-Person projective drawing test was used as an instrument of assessment in conjunction with the Maudsley Child Psychiatric interview technique. Indications of the effects of sexual abuse were sought in drawing tests administered before and after interventions of ten sessions of group play therapy. Drawing tests were also administered to a control group of children. The research project explored the effectiveness of group play therapy interventions through comparison of pre intervention and post intervention drawings. The rationale for this project was the high incidence of rape and sexual abuse of prepubescent black young women in the Eastern Cape particularly, and in South Africa generally. There is need for both assessments of screening instruments and validation of therapeutic interventions if this problem is to be addressed adequately. , Thesis (MA) -- Faculty of Humanities, Psychology, 1993

  • Description: This work addresses the role of mirroring and mirrors encountered while working with a patient obsessed with his appearance. At the same time, however, it also attempts to provide an understanding of the process of mirroring from the developing unborn child to the adult. It examines the womb as a reflective space, the mirroring role of the mother, psychological work as mirror work, the psychopathologies of disruptive mirroring and the nature of reflection as a story, confusion and a ghostly other, and finally, the relationship between mirror reflection and psychological life. What is examined and described in this process applies not only to the specific case in study but is relevant at a universal level to all of mankind regardless of race or religion. The case-study method was used to examine the process of therapy that took place over three months. The patient’s identifying data, reasons for referral, presenting problem, family background, basic personality, interpersonal relationships, mental state, diagnosis, dynamic formulation and rationale for psychotherapy were covered in detail. The process of psychotherapy over 27 sessions was recounted and discussed in detail. Theoretical understandings drawn on to facilitate an understanding of the case were from Davis and Walbridge on Winnicolt, Winnicot, Liedloff, Kay, Romanyshyn, Bettelheim, Schwartz and others. , Thesis (MA) -- Faculty of Humanities, Psychology, 1993

  • Description: This Congress resolves that: That the Central Committee decision in regard to membership of political parties be adopted by this congress. That Numsa as an organisation would encourage its members to support the ANC in the coming elections. Cosatu should remain independent of the political parties or government both now and in the post-apartheid State. The future of the Alliance will be decided by the Alliance partners themselves. Cosatu must intensify efforts to strengthen its structures and develop its leadership in order to ensure it has a strong support base. The workings of the Alliance need to be improved by strengthening the local and regional Alliance structures so that decisions can be taken involving members and lower structures and not only a top down process of decision making. The Alliance should establish a report back process and establish a mandating process. The reportback should start at a national level and go down to all levels. The mandating process should start from bottom structures to the national level. This process should be done within a specific time period. Numsa should conduct regular discussions Locally, Regionally and Nationally wherein positions pertaining to the political negotiations should be adopted. These positions should reflect the interests of our members and through Cosatu we should influence the positions of the Alliance.

The search for daily meaning: A technique for career counselling

  • Description: Because work is such a tremendous potential source of meaning in an individual’s life, techniques which turn career choice into technical talent matching are inadequate. The individual’s search for authentic meaning needs to be the focus of career counselling, but few approaches have been able to addressed this relationship between working and living. Major developments in career theory are reviewed to highlight the distinction between the more technical logical positivist and the phenomenological approaches. Super’s Career- Development Assessment and Counselling (C-DAC) model is described in detail as it is the first significant attempt to move beyond the technical approaches by incorporating developmental theory into career counselling and by stressing the role of counsellee readiness to use the information provided. However, especially in South Africa, any test-based approach to career counselling runs the risk of shifting the locus of control from the counsellee to the counsellor, so an autobiographical non-test approach, the life-line, is introduced to assist counsellees in their search for personal meaning without running the risks associated with test-based assessments. The life-line helps to contextualise the choice of work within the counsellee’s subjective life experience and turns career counselling into a shared search for a range of personal meanings rather than the provision, by the counsellor, of a limiting interpretation. Three case studies are presented to demonstrate the use of the life-line, and the conclusions arrived at are shown to be essentially1 similar to conclusions obtained from using the C-DAC battery. The advantages and limitations of the life-line are discussed and its ability to combat problems associated with school based career counselling is outlined as well as its usefulness with mid-life career changers, in cross-cultural contexts, and in group counselling. , Thesis (MA) -- Faculty of Humanities, Psychology, 1990

Tectonic and structural aspects at the Otjihase Mine, Matchless Belt, Namibia: A Systematic Review

  • Description: The Otjihase pyritic massive sulphide deposit occurs within a 10km thick metasedimentary sequence of the Kuiseb Formation. The Kuiseb metasediments were deposited within the Khomas Trough, which forms the southernmost rift of the intracontinental arm of the Damara orogen. Amphibolite units of the Matchless member at Otjihase have a MORB-type geochemical character and occur within the Kuiseb schists, about 200m above the ore zone. The Otjihase mine is the largest of many Besshi-type deposits that occur in close proximity to the Matchless amphibolites. A depositional environment in a rift, slightly more advanced than the present-day Red Sea is envisaged. The five parallel, ruler-shaped, mineralised shoots at Otjihase occur on the same stratigraphic level. They have a plunge of approximately 6° to the west and a dip of approximately 16° to the northwest. The largest and best mineralised, is the northernmost shoot (the Main Shoot) which is ±250m wide, up to 12m thick and has a known length of 7,5km. The large length/breadth ratio is ascribed to the original setting along faults and thickening of the ore zone during thrusting. Intense ductile deformation has affected the ore bodies, with isoclinal refolding, boudinaging, duplexes of more competent bands and smearing of the schists. Squeezing and remobilisation of the sulphides into the schistosity and low pressure pods has taken place. Successive folding and thrusting during the D2 deformational event resulted in the dominant structural style. Fold axes of drag folds plot onto a great circle in stereographic projection, indicating the formation of sheath folds. The axial planar cleavages of competent layers is steeper than the S(0,1) foliation and suggests a structural right way-up. The presence of chloritic alteration above the ore shoots, is suggestive of footwall alteration indicating that the sequence was overturned during the D1 deformational event. Ore zone lithologies include stringery-, massive- and semi-massive sulphides, mineralised magnetite- quartzites and disseminated sulphide mineralisation within quartz-biotite-chlorite schists. Chalcopyrite is the main economic mineral and mainly occurs as matrix to pyrite and in coarse-grained pods. Lithological and metal zoning within the Main Shoot is distinct and is an indication that the macroscopic shape of the orebody is largely unaffected by later ductile deformation. North-south trending normal faults of the Windhoek Graben have disrupted the continuity of the ore shoots. In section, the faults appear to have a listric shape. The major faults have pronounced scissor movements and as a result the dips of the blocks within fault zones are affected. , Thesis (MSc) -- Faculty of Science, Exploration Geology, 2021

You choose how you want to introduce yourself. You could want to give a bit of a background about yourself. I will have a separate illustration on newsprint, showing what I have done since birth up to now! One could recite that if they like. Group introduction: I propose a game be played, that will have everybody participating. The game is a "picnic game". You say to them we are a happy group who have just decided to go out on a picnic. So each and everyone of us has something to share with us all at the picnic. This must start with the first letter of your name. You (as facilitator) start by saying "for this event I will bring Aloe juice, for keeping healthy skins, because my name is Alfred". The next cde then say the same thing starting from me, the next also saying the same thing, until the last one. Then to see if you can still remember what they said you say it all. Rules: Cdes are not allowed to write down anything here, you could be helped with names and items forgotten during the game. Take a minute discussing how they felt about the whole exercise? You can mention the objectives of the w/shop at this stage from your understanding of the brief. You may say something about the participatory approach used in designing and presentation of this w/shop (methods used in Turp) as we believe that cdes have gone through a lot of experiences in their worklife and know the subject.
