Effects of Child Abuse/Study Summary
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page summary of a study article. In their article "Self Structure and Childhood Maltreatment: Successful Compartmentalization and the Struggle of Integration," Researchers C.J. Showers, V. Zeigler-Hill and A. Limke report on their May, 2006 study, which examined psychological self-structure (that is, compartmentalization, self-complexity and differential importance) among college student participants who self-report maltreatment occurring prior to age 15. The primary goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between the three features of self-structure (listed above) in subjects who may tend to have significantly negative self-images due to maltreatment in childhood, which can present an obstacle to traditional forms of coping (Showers, Zeigler and Limke, 2006). A secondary goal was to investigate whether or not the features of self-structure moderate the relationship between maltreatment and psychological adjustment. No additional sources cited.

Emotional Numbness
[ send me this paper ]
14 pages in length. Suppression of feelings is a common human approach to dealing with unpleasant situations. The extent to which Andrew has mastered this defense mechanism is both grand and far-reaching; that he shuts down in order to get through the psychological pain inherent to relationship breakups speaks to his tendency to become emotionally numb until that pain has subsided. Those who experience post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD) experience similar responses after going through distressing events. The prominent emotion for Andrew is disassociation - the ability to detach from normally occurring feelings - which is illustrated by his ability to shut down his emotions and remain that way until the perceived threat of painful feelings is not longer looming. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP): Treatment Of Attachment Disorders In Children
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Animals have a unique way of drawing out the best in people; their nonjudgmental, soothing and uplifting qualities make humans gravitate toward them without really knowing why. This inherent affinity is of a particular benefit to those who have mental or emotional problems that prevent them from interacting with others in the conventional way. Using animals as therapy has proven an unprecedented success as a therapeutic tool with, for example, children who have unattached disorders; the emotional connection absent from those who never had the opportunity to develop the parental bond is recreated in such valuable programs as Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) with the horse playing the surrogate role as both mother and father in a completely nonthreatening environment. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Extreme Mental Illness And Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)
[ send me this paper ]
19 pages in length. To understand the ongoing controversy surrounding ECT, it is important to gain a working knowledge of the procedure, indications, risks and common misconceptions about this alternative approach to treating severe mental illness that has been in place for a number of decades. The process of ECT has undergone such significant modifications that it hardly resembles what by today's standards is considered archaic application. That contemporary approaches to ECT have wholly metamorphosed - and in some cases exorcised - the negative components once attributed to this controversial therapy lends considerable credibility to recent scientific research that supports it as being viable, safe and humane. Bibliography lists 15 sources.
