Adult-Onset Schizophrenia
[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page literature review. Schizophrenia has been extensively researched over the years, but in many ways it remains an enigma. The overwhelming majority of cases occur in young adults, but some cases do not develop until much later in life. The purpose here is to review the literature addressing factors associated with adult-onset schizophrenia. The paper concludes that though much more information is available on adult-onset schizophrenia now than was available in the past, real determinations that can be widely generalized still have yet to be discovered. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Albert Ellis' ABC Model of Rational-Emotive Theory
[ send me this paper ]
This 12 page paper provides an overview of this issue. Alfred Ellis considered the value of defining links between the philosophical and the therapeutic through an understanding of what he described as "rational-emotive theory." Ellis recognized the value of applying some substantial philosophical perspectives to an understanding of man's central perceptions in the world, and to the development of spiritual, social and contextual elements of the persona. In other words, the rational-emotive theory of Ellis recognized that man is more than just a responsive being controlled by reactions to stimulus; man is shaped by social factors and by variations in perception relative to both rational perspectives and emotional responses.
