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.

Fear Of Flying
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Human nature harbors myriad anxieties that make it difficult for some people to make it through the day. While some angst is kept in check by virtue of a relatively low level of anxiety, others are full-blown phobias that serve to paralyze their victims when it comes to confronting that particular fear. One of the most common phobias is fear of flying, which experts contend have a great deal to do with the complete control passengers give up to pilots, weather and mechanical functioning that manifest in such psychological and biological ways as panic attacks, claustrophobia, nausea and embarrassment. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
