Effects of Child Abuse/Study Summary
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page summary of a study article. In their article "Self Structure and Childhood Maltreatment: Successful Compartmentalization and the Struggle of Integration," Researchers C.J. Showers, V. Zeigler-Hill and A. Limke report on their May, 2006 study, which examined psychological self-structure (that is, compartmentalization, self-complexity and differential importance) among college student participants who self-report maltreatment occurring prior to age 15. The primary goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between the three features of self-structure (listed above) in subjects who may tend to have significantly negative self-images due to maltreatment in childhood, which can present an obstacle to traditional forms of coping (Showers, Zeigler and Limke, 2006). A secondary goal was to investigate whether or not the features of self-structure moderate the relationship between maltreatment and psychological adjustment. No additional sources cited.

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.
