Beck Depression Inventory versus Hamilton: A Comparative Review Capella University 2012 Introduction Two of the most widely recognized and validated assessments for the detection of depression are the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), (Beck, Ward, Medelson, Mock, & Erbaugh, 1961) and the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD), (Hamilton, 1960).

The study was conducted using the adult attachment interview along with observations of interaction with parents or peers of the subjects involved by parents or peers of the subjects involved with sociometric data for subjects involved collected and analysed, (Allen et al 2007).

The Prenatal Environment and its impact on Child Psychopathology Dawn Jackson CCPX 5034 Child Psychopathology October 24, 2012 Abstract For centuries, psychologists have been trying to determine the various causes of mental illness in children. Research has demonstrated that there are several factors that contribute to psychological problems in children and introduce theories that range from environmental and social risk factors to health and emotional risk factors. Research has also shown that the prenatal environment has a strong correlation to mental illness in children. In this essay, the author will elaborate on this theory and highlight the specifics of prenatal stress and the mental impact on the offspring. Barker’s (1995) hypothesis of fetal programming has pioneered the research in the field of fetal origins of disease at adult age.
