Influence Of Therapeutic Setting In Psychoanalysis
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The very nature of psychoanalysis is to guide the patient into a more stable emotional environment with the help of therapy. Doing so in an environment other than a therapeutic setting has long reflected the approach typically assumed when treating patients, however, it is now being realized how beneficial a therapeutic setting is for cultivating a more positive outcome. While Barber et al note how "the supportive value of any particular technique or aspect of the therapeutic setting will vary for each individual patient" (pp. 165-172), this means a common denominator of alliance must first exist between patient and therapist if the therapeutic setting will be a successful endeavor.

Inner Child Therapy and Addicts in Recovery
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page report discusses the concepts associated with inner child therapy and also looks at them in terms of the recovery process of one young woman who is a recovering alcoholic and anorexic. The fundamental premise of personal therapy based on the ideas associated with “accessing” a person’s “inner child” are primarily founded on the fact that many people who were abused -- sexually, emotionally, or physically -- as children have grown up without the ability or the understanding of how healthy relationships develop or remain stable.

Inpatient Mental Health Services
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing mental health hospitalization. Hospitalization for mental health issues does not carry the social stigma it once did, but it still is not favored by insurance providers. The vagaries of insurance can cause hospitals to turn away those who could benefit from their services, but they do not limit treatment for those who absolutely require it. These patients have state hospitals available to them. Though state hospitals may not be as aesthetically pleasing or as discreet as private ones, they do offer quality care to those in need of it without the ability to pay for it. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

John Colapinto's "As Nature Made Him - The Boy Who Was Raised As A Girl" - Dominant Paradigms
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. David Reimer was not merely the victim of medical error when a failed circumcision completely redirected his life but perhaps more importantly he suffered extenuating consequences due to historical, theoretical and cultural ignorance pertaining to gender identity. The extent to which Reimer endured more than a decade of his life being filled with conflicting indicators from inside his own body/mind disconnection and those around him who blindly - if not by utter brainwashing - believed they were doing right by him is both grand and far-reaching; that he was strong enough to regain his life as a male after all the adulterated and misguided attempts toward turning him into a female by virtue of mind control and hormone treatment speaks to Reimer's more grounded understanding of how gender identity is bound most stringently by the principles of nature over nurture.

Looking at Bill Clinton through a Motivational Microscope
[ send me this paper ]
(6pp) McClelland asserted that people acquired different needs over time as a result of life experiences. He identified three needs that affect motivation of individuals and organizations: "1. Need for Achievement - The desire to do something better or more efficiently to solve problems, or to grasp and solve complex problems. 2. Need for Affiliation - The desire to establish and maintain friendly and warm relations with others. 3. Need for Power - The desire to control others, to influence their behavior, or to be responsible for others." Bill Clinton is used as the case study for these motivational theories.

Managing Employees Suffering From Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
[ send me this paper ]
A 16 page paper discussing some of the problems that a workplace manager may face when an employee is suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The paper reviews PTSD, how it can affect individuals and the difficulty in dealing with it. Commonly associated with wartime experiences, PTSD also can arise from workplace incidents, natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina and traumatic events such as the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The manager dealing with employees suffering from PTSD can use situational leadership or contingency theory to create a framework within which to manage the PTSD sufferer. Employing either of these theories and operating within them enables the manager to create a win-win scenario in which the individual gains help, support and validation, while the organization gains real value from the employee's contributions.
