Dissociative Identity Disorder: What is it?
“If you smash anything hard enough enough times, it will smash into pieces. I guess that’s what happened to me…” Many people feel they have a grasp on what Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is while some have never heard of it. I invite you on a journey of delving deeper into the mystery, reason and conflict behind Dissociative Identity Disorder. At the end, we will come out clearer than when we first started and find our own personal answer to its credibility as a disorder.

Helping Children Overcome the Effects of Trauma from Witnessing Domestic Violence: What Current Research Recommends and Further Implications
According to research, one in four families in the US will have firsthand experience of domestic violence in their home. DV appears to be a cycle that perpetuates itself from one generation to the next. Children who witness DV are at high risk for long-term developmental, social, and psychological dysfunctions. Focusing on treating the children with empirically supported intervention programs may help alleviate the effects. This research paper examines children’s intervention programs, and discussion of how these interventions can be implemented in the community will follow.

Developmental Case Study of Three Elementary Age Children
The purpose of this project is to study the developmental stages of a 7-year old male subject who resides in a middle to upper class home in the Springfield area. Over the course of two months, interviews, observations, games, and cognitive tests were conducted to gather information in order to compare his developmental process according to cognitive psychologist Jean Piaget’s developmental stages. The developmental stages observed and recorded were Cognitive Development, Physical Development, Self Concept and Self Esteem, Social Development, and Values and Moral Development. Upon examination of all areas and careful analysis of text information, it was noted that case subject is developing normally to slightly above his age level.
