Aileen Wuornos
[ send me this paper ]
16 pages in length. The residual impact of one's upbringing has much more influence upon that individual than many realize. That people are a product of their environment � both good and bad � speaks to the tremendous power one's experiences in childhood and youth have upon one's social, emotional and psychological outlook. Aileen Wuornos reflects the aftermath of a wholly traumatic upbringing, replete with physical abuse and emotional abandonment that ultimately fueled her deep-seated rage in the form of mass murder. Bibliography lists 13 sources.

Albert Ellis' ABC Model of Rational-Emotive Theory
[ send me this paper ]
This 12 page paper provides an overview of this issue. Alfred Ellis considered the value of defining links between the philosophical and the therapeutic through an understanding of what he described as "rational-emotive theory." Ellis recognized the value of applying some substantial philosophical perspectives to an understanding of man's central perceptions in the world, and to the development of spiritual, social and contextual elements of the persona. In other words, the rational-emotive theory of Ellis recognized that man is more than just a responsive being controlled by reactions to stimulus; man is shaped by social factors and by variations in perception relative to both rational perspectives and emotional responses.

Alcohol�s Effect on Personality
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing the relation of alcohol and personality from several perspectives. Research indicates that more aggressive types are more likely to drink to excess; other researchers point to alcohol-induced interruption of brain activity as likely being cumulative and lasting, long after alcohol has left the drinker�s system. Still others address the effects of personality on the likelihood of success in alcohol treatment. It seems reasonable to say that personality affects individuals� reactions to alcohol and even whether individuals drink at all. Though there has been a great deal of research into the relationship between alcohol and personality, the best information to date still seems to be anecdotal evidence. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Alderian Therapy in Group Work
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing Adler�s Individual Psychology, group counseling theory and cultural characteristics of Hispanic Americans. Adler�s motivational theory is directly applicable to Hispanic Americans. The group approach can be useful with Hispanic Americans because it is a natural, comfortable approach for them culturally. If the group counselor can successfully facilitate substitution of groups, then the group approach should be quite successful with Hispanic Americans. It allows individuals to enjoy a comfortable and known setting while navigating previously-uncharted territories, allowing them to place more direct attention on the issues at hand. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Alfie Kohn's Beyond Discipline Model
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Kohn (1996) considers conventional methods of assertive discipline to be nothing more than "a collection of bribes and threats whose purpose is to enforce rules that the teacher alone devises and imposes" (p. PG) that do little else but teach the student how everything in life can be negotiated by way of manipulation. The fundamental purpose of Kohn's model is to encourage responsibility and self-discipline without the use of what he perceives as controlling methods of reward and punishment. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Altered States of Consciousness and Hypnosis
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page
report discusses hypnosis and the altered state of consciousness
it produces. While the term �hypnosis� often carries a certain
number of negative connotations that do not truly convey the
beneficial and physiological relation response that is the
legitimate hypnotic response, many people are still hesitant
about the concept in general. The simple fact is that hypnosis is
not a form of mind control and is not the will of one person
being exerted over another. Health professionals, mental health
counselors, even sports performance consultants advocate hypnosis
as a form of stress reduction, pain management and personal
performance enhancement. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Ambrose Bierce: Animal Characteristics
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Ambrose Bierce maintained that humanity mirrored many of the same characteristics as animals, stating that "in each human heart there is a tiger, a pig, an ass, and a nightingale. Diversity of characters is due to their unequal activity." It can easily be argued that Bierce's perception is quite accurate in that all of mankind has absorbed a great deal of idiosyncratic tendencies reflective of animal behavior. For example, as is mentioned in his quote, the human heart exhibits a vast array of illustrative attributes: the tiger's ferocity and independence; the pig's greed; the ass's stupidity; and the nightingale's delicacy and benevolence. Indeed, finding all of these qualities within a single individual is considerably more difficult than recognizing one or two; however, most of humanity displays a combination of all such animal characteristics at some point throughout life. The writer discusses these traits as they relate to Iago and Desdemona from Othello, Mustafa Sa'eed from Tayeb Salih's Season Of Migration, and Reginald Nwankwo and Gladys from Girls at War by Chinua Achebe. No additional sources cited.
