Loss Of Their Mother, Living With An Alcoholic Father: Impact Upon 3 Teenage Girls
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. After their mother's death, the eldest daughter (18) fell into the role of mother of her younger twin siblings. Up until recently, the twins used to ride horses everyday; their reason for stopping is unclear but presumed to be directly connected with the manner by which their entire lives have been turned upside down. One of them has become very promiscuous and verbally abusive, while the other has become promiscuous and a pot smoker. The eldest daughter, who is a good girl and very serious about her caretaker position, is frustrated over how the girls are not looking to her as a role model. Although she tries to socialize some with her friends and maintain a semblance of normalcy in her own life, she is generally very depressed and has been on an anti-depressant since her mother's death. What pains her the most is how her father is an 'absentee parent.' Bibliography lists 4 sources.

MAOA and Conduct Disorder
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page research paper that examines the links between MAOA, as a genetic factor, and the development of conduct disorder. There is a large body of empirical research that connects the development of conduct disorder to childhood maltreatment (Fergusson, Boden and Horwood, 2008; Jaffee, et al, 2004). However, a continuing debate addresses the question as to whether or not conduct disorder is a psychopathology or the consequence of abusive and/or neglectful parents. A recent and growing body of evidence indicates that the causes of conduct disorder are multifaceted, as there is evidence that indicates a genetic predisposition to conduct disorder, particularly in regards to MAOA activity studies. Bibliography lists 15 source.

Middle Child Syndrome
[ send me this paper ]
31 pages in length. With the trials and tribulations of Jan Brady firmly entrenched in the American psyche, one might have thought that the Middle Child Syndrome was nothing more than a spoiled brat acting out her insecurities no
differently than any other child. However, since the time of The Brady Bunch more than two decades ago, the psychological community has come to realize that there is, indeed, an issue of self-esteem with regard to middle children. Parents who have three children do not consciously realize the varied ways in which they relate to each child, inasmuch as the eldest child typically maintains
a role of responsibility; the youngest assumes the role as baby; and the middle child gets lost somewhere in the shuffle. Given no identity like his or her siblings, the middle child comes to feel left out and unimportant – two of the most detrimental aspects of health self-esteem.
Bibliography lists 23 sources.
