The results were that the chance of developing a cold correlated with stress index scores. The life event lowered the immune function and increased vulnerability to the virus. However there were several problems with this research, one of which was that it was an indirect study- there was no direct measure of the immune system for example no blood test or medical test was taken as evidence. Consequently we cannot determine how far the participant’s immune system was affected in relation to the stress. Another key problem was that there were was no direct manipulation of the independent variable so the study doesn’t tell us which element of the stress index is most important and related to the decrease in immune function.
Mental Abuse: The Worst Form of Abuse Jessica M. Wallace ENG 215052NC019/Research and Writing Professor Priscilla Patten Strayer University October 19, 2011 Mental Abuse: The Worst Form of Abuse Mental Abuse: Cuts Deeper Than Knives with No Visible Scars Just because someone is not battered and bruised does not mean that they are not being abused. There is a form of abuse that is unseen and silent. Mental abuse, which is the worse form of abuse, is unseen, silent and continues with the victims long after the abuse ends. This abuse goes unnoticed most of the time. Victims often say they would rather have physical abuse than suffer with mental abuse because it leaves no physical evidence that can be seen by an untrained eye.
The symptoms of DID includes: multiple mannerisms, attitudes and beliefs that are dissimilar to each other; headaches and other body pains; distortion or loss of subjective time; depersonalization, amnesia, and depression. another term Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) is defined as the diagnosis given a person who is frequently in conflict with the society, yet who is undeterred by punishment and experiences little or no guilt and anxiety. Antisocial personality disorder is characterized by a pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others.

People with this illness may seem charming, but they are likely to be aggressive and as well as irresponsible.
Lin et al. (2004) suggest FT to be compared against other anger-focused therapies. In addition, the authors suggest therapies that reduce long-term anger issues be compared with therapies that focus on present anger. Overall, the Discussion section is not effective or appropriate. Information that is vital to the reader is missing.
No pleasure is bad itself: but the means which produce some pleasures bring with them disturbances many times greater than the pleasure. The definition of bad could encounter a lot of question. How bad? What does ‘bad’ refer to? But in some point I agree with this statement.

I have worked with youngsters and adults with ADHD and find it astounding that in certain cases little is known by families, carers and the individuals about this disorder. Is this in light of the fact that resources are lacking, or on the grounds that opinions are divided on the condition itself? Alison Munden (1999) remarked that numerous families come to become despondent, on the grounds that their endeavours to find either a explanation for ADHD or a cure have been unsuccessful. I will begin with a brief look at the common treatments for ADHD followed by a literature review exploration of the choice of ADHD treatments. There are a lot of conflicting views and opinions for the treatment of ADHD I will look at four types or “treatments”
Outline and evaluate the psychological explanations for depression (24) Two psychological explanations of depression are behaviourism and cognitive. Behaviourism explains depression as a learned condition and therefore does not perceive the disorder as a mental illness with a physical cause. Lewinsohn (1974) proposed that depression arises from a lack of positive reinforcement. Some people who are depressed do indeed seem to lack the social skills that enable them to get along with others. People who become depressed because of a major loss may be reinforced in being depressed by the sympathy and understanding shown by other people.
One cannot deceive oneself with good intentions because ones knows their real motivations in doing so. The most valuable knowledge one can acquire is that in order for others to respect one, one must first have self-respect. Didion states, “Most of our platitudes notwithstanding, self-deception remains the most difficult deception. The tricks that work on others count for nothing in that very well lit back alley where one keeps assignations with oneself: no winning smiles
These were due to the horrendous living conditions that existed in industrial workplaces during that time. They were unsanitary places, with little care given about hygiene; this was even expressed within the plea they gave to the Tsar. “We are beggars, we are oppressed and overburdened with work, we are insulted, we are not looked on as human beings but as slaves. The moment has come for us when death would be better than the prolongation of our intolerable sufferings.” The 1905 revolution was not really successful at all; it led to almost no change in policies, or indeed, how the industrial towns were treated in regards to living conditions. The 1905 revolution led to ‘The october manifesto.’ This is because the Tsar had two choices - military repression or conceding.
