OCD: 'As Good as It Gets
[ send me this paper ]
(5pp). Today we toss psychiatric disorders at each other like we are throwing confetti on New Year's Eve. The phrase will be, I flew into 'manic,' or don't be 'obsessive,' or how'compulsive.'

Park's "The Siege: The First Eight Years Of An Autistic Child"
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Elly's characteristics did not differ from any other child who suffers from autism, inasmuch as she was a bright, vivacious child trapped inside a mind that would not allow her to learn or express herself. Park's strategies as both a mother and self-learned caregiver were instrumental in Elly's first several years of life; being that autism was hardly on the medical map much less the existence of any treatment protocol, Park worked each step of Elly's childhood as a stepping stone to understanding her disease. Some worked, other did not but no matter the outcome, Park was instrumental in paving the path toward a better understanding and treatment of autism. No additional sources cited.

Peer Rejection and Aggression
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper discussing the origin of aggression among teens in terms of peer rejection. There have been countless studies linking excessive aggression with personality, most of which have concluded that heightened aggression can be positively linked with some personality types. Others have used specific personality traits as predictors of aggressive behavior, and several have suggested that peer rejection contributes to development of aggression. Among those teens already suffering from the real or perceived effects of peer rejection, those involved with drugs or alcohol are even more likely to suffer adverse effects. The authors discussed here all bring a different perspective to the issue of aggression arising from peer rejection, supplying possible origins of growing aggressive problems.
