Postpartum Depression
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page research paper that discusses this topic. While couples spend months preparing for childbirth, they often do not have any preparation for what to expect emotionally after the birth of their child. Frequently women overwhelmed; thrilled to have a healthy baby, but in tears the next (ICEA position, 2003). Often, women are not aware that such a reaction is perfectly normal and they fear that they are either going crazy or will be a terrible mother. Today, it is recognized that this period, which is generally referred to as postpartum depression, actually encompasses different categories of reaction to the birth experience. The writer discusses mild PPD (the "baby blues"), PPD and postpartum psychosis. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Profile of Jeffrey Dahmer
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper reviewing this person's crimes and investigating personality traits that may be able to explain his motives. Dahmers's murderous and cannibalistic ways provided a measure by which he could have control over some part of his life, as well as gain control over others. In addition, he sought to prevent selected players in his life not only from leaving him, but to make them a permanent part of himself as well. Preventing victims from leaving the apartment escalated to murder, then to cannibalism as Dahmer truly "internalized" these people. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
