Character of the Clinical Issue Alcohol Use Disorder is a problem that is related to an individual’s use of alcohol that leads to negative effects on the individual’s life. According to the DSM-5 (2014), the level of which the undesirable effects of the substance may affect the individual’s life is what determines whether their disorder is mild, severe, or somewhere in-between. These impairments can affect the individual’s life by impacting their physical, mental, social, or professional…

There are many methods that Steinbeck has used to present Curley’s Wife, such as the role of women in the 1930s and foreshadowing. As she enters, she “cut off” the sunshine in the doorway, this immediately tells the readers that she brings darkness with her and can also be seen connected to the end of the American Dream (how everything could turn dark immediately). Steinbeck’s symbolism of darkness replicates her as Eve, the temptress, leading men into darkness and sin. She is essentially a…

like hours as I ran out of new adventures to go on, and after a while I would just end up waiting for the bell to ring again so I could get back to class. Day by day would pass and I would hear that school bell ring. I’d stand up as if I was in a hypnotic trance, and unwillingly walk out the bleak classroom door onto the dim schoolyard. The blacktop was a monotonous sea of darkness that engulfed the dingy playground in one large gulp. The children disseminated across the playard were all…

Costa and McRae as “Openness has moderate positive relationships with creativity, intelligence, and knowledge. Openness is related to the psychological trait of absorption, and like absorption has a modest relationship to individual differences in hypnotic susceptibility” (Costa,2010). I normally do not judge anyone and try to be accepting to everyone. I also love to learn about many people, I love how we are all so different, and nothing makes me happier than being exposed to a new culture or…

In general, people want to move from rural to urban areas because there are many opportunities such as job, education and health in the cities where people migrate. This leads to the development and growth of cities. But, sometimes people have to make forced migration or they enter the country illegally. If these migrations get out of control, the city will be adversely affected such as crime rate, unemployment, air, land and water pollution. If these problems are increased, it disrupts social…

Substance related addictive disorders are divided into two subcategories, substance use disorders and substance-induced disorder. Substance use is a disorder that “occurs when an individual is aware of the problems that the drug is causing them (in any degree) and continues to take it (Substance Abuse Disorder, 2016)” which is normally more treatable and less likely to cause long term damage. While substance- induced disorder is “ranging from something as mild as intoxication to as severe as…

Time is precious. We are inundated with this message from infancy. Some of the most common axioms in the western world revolve around this idea, such as “time is money” and “a stitch in time saves nine.” Above all though is the belief that we must not waste time. Yet we do, and often. Perhaps the reason the idea is so pervasive is because we don’t heed it. People lose time in so many ways. They lose hours binge watching a television show on Netflix or surfing the internet. More insidiously are…

Unfortunate Luck The odds of winning the lottery are about 1 in 176 million. Most people understand the improbable reality of winning, yet there are those who continue to cling to their slim-to-none chances with the hope of being the lucky winner (creative verb: cling). In Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery,” a small village, with a population of 300 people, endures an annual lottery (diverse syntax). The chances of being the lucky winner are highly favorable with the odds being 1 in 300. Despite…

(Goldberg). One of the major issues in the controversy is that “patients described as having DID are highly hypnotizable, and therefore are very suggestible” (Gillig). This raises the suspicion on if the patient truly has a disorder or are following hypnotic suggestions from their psychiatrist. I think Multiple Personality Disorder truly exists, however I do not think that a person is not born with it. In my opinion, it is a person’s coping mechanism to deal with a traumatizing event that…

dysfunction, gut-directed hypnotherapy has proven to be successful in reducing or eliminating most IBS symptoms in Swedish patients ages 21-68 (Lindfors, et al., 2013). Gut-directed hypnotherapy is based on muscular and mental relaxation, and general hypnotic suggestions are used to either focus on the symptoms or to distract from them (Lindfors et al., 2013). Hypnotherapy allows the relaxed mind to be opened, allowing the subconscious mind to receive ideas about promoting positive thoughts and…
