The Application of Lawrence Kohlberg’s Moral Level Theory and Erik Erikson’s Personality Stages Theory in Regards to the Character of Rachel in Barbara Kingsolver’s Novel “The Poisonwood Bible”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing Kohlberg and Erikson’s developmental stages as reflected in Rachel from “The Poisonwood Bible”. In Barbara Kingsolver’s 1999 novel “The Poisonwood Bible” the fifteen year old daughter, Rachel, reflects primarily Lawrence Kohlberg’s “conventional” level of moral reasoning and the progression from Erik Erikson’s “identity versus role confusion” (stage 5) to “intimacy versus isolation” (stage 6) levels of personality development. Rachel is considered the most self-absorbed of the characters within the novel and because of this her perspective remains primarily a selfish one and how her family’s environment and values impact her life and development. However, from Rachel, readers can also see a development in her awareness of her surroundings and although she remains still fairly self-absorbed she at least realizes how little impact her and her family and their Christian intentions have on the social and physical environment of the Congo showing a maturity of her moral and personal development.

The Barnum Effect
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper offering a discussion of a small study done to determine the relationship between locus of control (internal or external) with the practice of following daily horoscopes. P.T. Barnum is credited with saying, "There's a sucker born every minute." Henry Ford expanded on this in saying that there was a posterior for every seat, though he expressed the thought in more vernacular terms. The Barnum Effect is that which is seen to be an individual's response to a flattering or positive generalization that can be true for many but that we believe has been designed specifically for us. The study finds that those with an internal locus of control are less likely to place credence in generalized daily horoscopes such as those found in daily newspapers and on the Internet.

The Benefits Of Psychoanalysis Versus Pharmacotherapy In The Treatment Of Depression: Which Is Better?
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Achieving optimum health represents the primary goal of any given modality of medicine; when the disease to be treated is depression, however, there are two schools of thought pertaining to appropriate treatment options. Depression, which causes people to become despondent and pessimistic for no apparent reason, has typically been treated with either pharmacotherapy (medication) or psychoanalysis (psychiatric help). When medication is not warranted because the cause is not chemical in nature, psychotherapy is able to alter the negative thought processes and overall perspective to reach wellness; however, when a chemical imbalance is the primary instigator, pharmacotherapy is an essential tool. Some cases require the beneficial properties of both approaches, reflecting how a combined treatment of both therapies is very effective in the treatment of depression. Bibliography lists 12 sources.
