Biography
Emily Osborn was the wife of Norman Osborn and mother of Harry Osborn. Emily was apparently the only person that Norman ever showed love to. Unfortunately, their son's birth had weakened her and she passed away sometime after.
Other versions
Ultimate Marvel
The Ultimate Marvel Universe version of the character is renamed Martha Osborn. Unlike her mainstream counterpart, Martha is still alive as Norman Osborn's wife and Harry Osborn's mother. Norman's corrupt obsession to perfect the Super Soldier drug leads him to neglect of Martha and Harry. After Norman transforms himself into a muscular, grotesque, demonic-like monster, Martha is killed.

* Emily Osborn makes non-voice appearances in The Spectacular Spider-Man. Unlike her mainstream counterpart, this version is still alive with her husband Norman Osborn and son Harry Osborn similar to her Ultimate counterpart. She first is seen briefly in the episode "Competition" where she was eating at the table as Harry tells her he made the football team but she doesn't seem to take any interest. In the episode "Blueprints", she and Norman has dinner with Aaron Warren and Miles Warren, and Curt Connors and Martha Connors. In the last episode "Final Curtain", Emily walked in on a conversation between Spider-Man, Norman (actually the Chameleon in disguise) and Harry about the Green Goblin's identity. 'Norman' tells her not to be concerned so she leaves the room without even saying a word. She is last seen in tears while walking away from Peter Parker, Gwen Stacy and Harry after Norman's funeral. Had the series received a third season, Greg Weisman had planned to cast Marina Sirtis as the character's voice.

Human Givens approach or Human Givens Psychotherapy is form of psychology and psychotherapy developed by Joe Griffin and Ivan Tyrrell introduced in their 2003 book Human Givens: A new approach to emotional health and clear thinking. It is self-described as a "bio-psycho-social" approach to psychotherapy, and at its core attempts to find and address unmet innate needs common to all humans, termed givens. Use of the Human Givens approach is not currently widespread; but its supporters are building evidence and its ideas are extending into the UK public workplace.
Summary
The basic assumptions of the Human Givens approach are that humans have evolved innate physical and emotional needs called ‘human givens’. Human beings instinctively seek to meet these needs in their environment. When a person’s innate needs are met in the environment, he or she will flourish. When these needs are not met in a balanced way, mental distress results. The focus of the therapy is the discovery and rectification of any blocks to these needs being met. The emotional needs include:
* Security - safe territory and an environment which allows full maturity and development
* Attention (to give and receive it) - a form of "mental nutrition"
* Sense of autonomy and control - having volition to make responsible choices
* Being emotionally connected to others
* Feeling part of a wider community
* Friendship and intimacy with someone who is accepting of the total person, flaws included
* Privacy - opportunity to reflect and consolidate experience
* Sense of status within social groupings
* Sense of competence and achievement
* Meaning and purpose
Research and criticism
A peer reviewed research paper, published in Mental Health Review Journal concerned treating people with mild to moderate depressed mood (measured using HADS) with Human Givens therapy or ‘normal’ treatment. "The well-being of these participants was examined at the point of referral, and after four, eight and 12 months using three well-being questionnaires. The results revealed that emotional well-being significantly improved during the first four months following referral for both groups and this improvement was maintained up to and including one year post referral. Compared to the Control group Human givens therapy was found to be of shorter duration, lasting one or two sessions compared to standard treatment, which lasted on average four sessions. Apart from the psychological insight and emotional support, it is suggested that Human Givens therapy might help the client to better function in society and maintain a sense of social integration. This has benefits to other providers of social care."
More recently several ongoing research projects have been initiated by the Human Givens Research Practice Network.
The Human Givens model recognises itself to be eclectic in nature and its founders explicitly acknowledge that the approach integrates best practice and thinking drawn from existing psychological models such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy and Client Centred Counselling
The New Scientist have both featured interviews with Joe Griffin on the Human Givens approach. The British Medical Journal and the Nursing Times have both written articles which have referred to the Human Givens Approach.
In The British Medical Journal
Peer reviewed evidence for the effectiveness of human givens therapy, published in Psychology and Psychotherapy: Theory, Research and Practice, showed that, of 120 patients treated by HG therapists in a GP's surgery, more than three out of four were either symptom-free or reliably changed as a result of the therapy. This was accomplished in an average of only 3.6 sessions. This compares favourably with the recovery rate for the UK Government’s IAPT (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies) programme that uses therapists trained in CBT and which expects therapy to take longer and less than two out of four patients to improve or recover.
Expectation fulfilment theory of dreaming
The expectation fulfilment theory of dreaming, proposed by Joe Griffin in 1993 posits that the prime function of dreams is to metaphorically act out non-discharged emotional arousals (expectations) that were not acted out during the previous day. It theorises that excessive worrying while awake arouses the autonomic nervous system which then increases the need to dream during REM sleep, which deprives the individual of the refreshment of the mind brought about by regenerative slow-wave sleep. It regards worry as a misuse of the imagination. Griffin and Tyrrell proffer a connection between REM state dreaming and hypnotic phenomena, and define hypnosis as "any artificial means of accessing the REM state"
Depression
The Human Givens approach to treating depression emerged from research into sleep and especially the brain state indicated by the rapid eye movements seen during dream sleep.
Practising Human Givens psychotherapists use a number of techniques to get the subject to use imagination in a healthier way which they propose restores a more balanced sleep pattern and consequently can lift the depression.
