Pets are animals that live with us and share our lives. Even if you don't have pets under your roof – such as a horse that lives in its own stable – they are important to us at an emotional level and can feel like they are a part of the family. Many people will suffer from grief if one of their pets passes away. Indeed, the relationships we form with them can be very complex. Although some animal rights activists argue that pet ownership objectifies them, most people agree that keeping a pet is humane, especially if the creature concerned has been domesticated in a similar manner to the way cats and dogs historically have. That said, few people advocate keeping wild animals as pets these days.
A talking therapy that is sometimes referred to as an intervention, cognitive behavioural therapy is based on several psycho-social theories. Sometimes referred to as CBT for short, cognitive behavioural therapy aims to challenge people in their thoughts, especially ones that have become cognitively distorted in some way, either through habit, belief systems or erroneous attitudes. By talking about such thoughts and challenging them in a secure environment, therapists try to alter the way patients think which can often include attitudes to themselves. Cognitive behavioural therapy was first developed to help people suffering from chronic depression. Still, it has since been adapted to treat people with other mental health conditions, such as anxiety and even psychosis and bipolar disorder. Have you tried cognitive behavioural therapy?

In an attempt to work out how people view themselves and the world around them, introspective self-reporting questionnaires have been used by psychologists and psychotherapists since the times of Karl Jung. The Myers-Briggs personality test was developed from these original methods to form a structure around which people would be able to identify as one of sixteen distinct personality types. These are made up of four so-called dichotomies each which can be interpreted in two ways, thereby allowing for a total of sixteen possible combinations that correspond to the aforementioned personality types. The Myers-Briggs personality test was developed in the Second World War and after it to allow psychologists to determine the personalities of individuals according to the examples outlined in the Myers-Briggs personality indicator.
