Agnosia
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page paper describes the different categories of agnosia. This is a condition that can affect any of the five senses and, in general, results in a dissociation between the sensory stimulus and the associative memory related to that stimulus. For instance, if a patient with visual agnosia were shown a picture of an object, he would be unable to recall the name of the object. It is not a memory disorder; it is a perceptual-associative disorder caused primarily by stroke and brain injury. The several classifications of agnosia are discussed. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

An Approach to the Psychological Diagnosis of Albert Fish and Jeffrey Dahmer, Notorious Child Molesters
[ send me this paper ]
A 24 page paper analyzing the psychology of child molestation. In the more disturbing cases children are not only abused, they are abducted, sexually and otherwise physically abused, and even killed. Two of the more notorious cases of child molestation were committed by the now notorious killers Albert Fish and Jeffrey Dahmer. These killers had a similar tendency for cannibalism of their victims’ bodies as well. While a precise after-the-fact psychological analysis cannot be made of either, this paper delves into the cannibalistic aspect of these crimes in particular and emphasizes the utilization of standardized psychological methodology such as the multi-axial approach of the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM IV) in attempting such a diagnosis. Bibliography lists 25 sources.

An Exploration of Transsexuality and its Implications in our Modern World
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page contention that insurance plans should pay for sex change operations in that these operations serve to correct error in human physiology, just as other types of medical approaches correct errors which manifest themselves as diseases or psychological disturbances. Furthermore, the contention is presented that society is obligated to treat those transsexuals who have undergone sex change operations as they treat others of the sex which has been chosen by the transsexual. This obligation extends, in fact, to placing those surgically altered transsexuals who enter the criminal justice system in prisons which correspond to their chosen sex.
