Dreams, Nightmares and Night Terrors in Children
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing dreams, nightmares and night terrors in children. Children may dream as early as infancy but it is not until the age of 3 or 4 that most children report having dreams. Even at this stage, the children believe the dreams are external to their existence. From the ages 5 to 12 however about 20 to 39 percent of children report having nightmares. While night terrors are just single startling images for a child and are usually forgotten, nightmares are considered bad dreams. When nightmares occur parents should communicate with the child, provide a safe sleeping environment and in the worse possible cases of constant recurring nightmares, seek professional therapy to aid the child.

Drug Use and Treatment of Hispanic Immigrants
[ send me this paper ]
A 19 page paper discussing the influence of culture on addiction treatment. Much of the research into drug use among Hispanics of the past has identified Hispanics only by cultural identification, without giving a clear picture of those cultural matters that can influence whether a Mexican American chooses to seek help in breaking an addiction. There are several aspects of the Mexican American culture that prevent Mexican Americans from moving along the same path of addiction resolution that individuals of other ethnic groups navigate in similar journeys. This paper discusses some of these points, including acculturization and the tradition of relying on family groups in times of crisis. Counselors need to realize that Hispanics who enter treatment likely already have used these social structures without success. Includes an abstract and an outline. Bibliography lists 19 sources.
