Furthermore, women in half-way houses often are dealing with a balance between a personal facade required to survive in a correctional institution and the type of persona required to function properly in a law-abiding society (Greer, 2000). Often times individuals are better equipped to deal with emotion and social interaction with an animal than they are with other human beings (Barker & Dawson, 1998; Walsh & Mertin, 1994)
, 2003). Cognitive Stimulation Therapy has been found in previous studies to be an effective and cost-effective treatment of dementia (Breuil, De Rotrou,, Forette et al
, 2002). Past research has found that sexual minority women (lesbians and bisexuals) are less likely to receive an annual gynecological examination, and as a result are at higher risk for cervical cancer, as compared to heterosexual women (Cochran et al
For many women, one of the greatest challenges in moving back into the community is dealing with existing substance abuse issues as well as learning to constructively deal with conflict and anger management (Pelissier, Wallace, O'Neil, Gaes, Camp, Rhodes & Saylor, 2001). Women coming from prison have not had the opportunity to interact in very many nurturing manners, and nurturing is an important aspect of a woman's well-being (Greer, 2000; Walsh & Mertin, 1994)
Being able to delay the negative results of dementia can contribute to increased quality of life for a number of aging individuals and their families. At present, many health care professionals view dementia as a condition that will deteriorate over time and do not view it as something that can be effectively stalled or reversed (Hodges & Graham, 1999)
This study seeks to address some of the potential reasons for why sexual minority women are less likely to receive an annual gynecological examination. Past research has found that sexual minority women have had negative experiences with health care professionals and that they have concerns related to their sexual identity that are not shared by heterosexual women (Matthews, Bradenburg, Johnson & Huges, 2003)
, 2006). Purpose Statement To purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of cognitive stimulation therapy (Knowles, 2010) on the improvement of cognitive functioning and overall well-being in a treatment group as compared to a control group
Mixed-Methods Proposal -- The Impact of Pet Therapy on Substance Abuse among Women living in a correctional half-way house Introduction Women living in correctional half-way houses are generally women who are transitioning from a formal correctional institution, such as a federal penitentiary, back into the community. For many women, one of the greatest challenges in moving back into the community is dealing with existing substance abuse issues as well as learning to constructively deal with conflict and anger management (Pelissier, Wallace, O'Neil, Gaes, Camp, Rhodes & Saylor, 2001)
, 2002). If sexual minority women are avoiding their examinations for reasons that differ from heterosexual women, then it is important that these reasons be addressed where possible (Polek, Hardie & Crowley, 2008)
One week and 6 weeks following the completion of the 12-week program, participants will have their cognitive abilities re-assessed by the same professional and will complete the same measures of depression and anxiety. Qualitative Proposal -- Sexual Minority Women's Experiences with Gynecological Examinations Introduction Receiving an annual gynecological examination is very important for the early detection of cancer, sexually transmitted infections and the overall maintenance of gynecological health in women (Saslow et al
This study proposes that cognitive stimulation therapy may be an effective way of improving the well-being of individuals with cognitive deficits and early stages of dementia. It also proposes that such treatment may be an effective intervention for preventing the further delay of cognitive abilities, if not permanently (Spector et al
Because of the introduction of the foreign gene in the system, the immune system is evoked. Because of the fact that the immune system is activated, the possibility of gene therapy having lesser efficiency is a major possibility (Dobson, 2006, p
The main pharmaceutical agent being used in this case is the DNA. The main principle of gene therapy is based on the fact that the genes can be supplemented or altered within the genomic makeup of an individual to make sure that the medical condition is treated at a molecular level (Li, and Huang, 2007, p

New experiments are being conducted on the delivery of genes that can repair errors in the messenger RNA because of the presence of defective and nonfunctional genes. Using this technique, cystic fibrosis, thalassemia and various kinds of leukemia can be treated (Wells, 2004, p
Cognitive behavioral therapy on the other hand integrates the behavioral and cognitive component and asserts that it is thought and behavior that directs the individual and therefore the cousinly helps the client investigate thought that is driving his actions. View of Human nature Whilst Adlerian psychology has a psychodynamic view of human nature, namely that certain aspects of the individual are beyond his control and ordained by fate (as for instance abusive parenting, handicaps and so forth) (Ehrenwald, 1991), CBT has a more positive attitude, seeing future of the client to lie within his endeavors
View of Human nature Whilst Adlerian psychology has a psychodynamic view of human nature, namely that certain aspects of the individual are beyond his control and ordained by fate (as for instance abusive parenting, handicaps and so forth) (Ehrenwald, 1991), CBT has a more positive attitude, seeing future of the client to lie within his endeavors. All client needs to do is decide his direction, control his thoughts, negotiate and slant them to meet his ends, engineer his environment and actions so that they meet these objectives (Robertson, 2010) -- and client can control his future
Theorists who have influenced personal theoretical orientation The two theories that have mainly influenced me are Adlerian therapy ( created by Alfred Adler, a student of Freud) and cognitive behavioral therapy (largely but not exclusively created by Beck and premised on a behavioral tradition). Adlerian therapy believes that the individual is largely guided and propelled by feelings of self-esteem and that lack of this can result in mental illness (Slavik, & King, 2007)
