Limitations/Strength and Weaknesses

The following conditions might have affected the results of the present study:

1. The sample will not be random,

2. all demographic information will be self reported and not verified,

3. all the subjects for the study came from 3 local Kansas mental health facilities located in South Central Kansas,

4. all data for the BDI-II is self reported,

5. data is for individuals with specific DSM-IV diagnosis,

6. data is for individuals who are currently seeking treatment for the specified DSM-IV disorders (Schiraldi, 2000)

major strength is that respondents will be selected from ? number of different places for better generalization. The use of purposive sampling is another strength that is very constructive for conditions when the researcher would like to reach ? targeted collection of the people being sampled. number of limitations of our study must be mentioned. These limitations also provide avenues for further research. First, the sample of our research will be bounded to ? particular area (Wilson, and Keane, 1996). Extra inquiry might employ cross-sectional comparability. Secondly, our research will use data obtained from veterans to ? limited extent. Additional studies in this field should use customer-based data to ? greater extent than we will to achieve ? deeper understanding of the processes that drive veteran's reactions. Thirdly, our study merely considers the moderating effects of the veteran's orientation of integration....

It is plausible that veteran's orientation of integration has ? direct effect on cost savings and market-related performance. Lastly, web sites and e-mail systems are being used to speed up the process of data collection (Foa, Keane, and Friedman, 2000).

Appendix

The related literature addressed an assortment of expected diagnosis that those who have experienced childhood abuse may develop. The present researcher found no specific studies on childhood abuse among those who are currently experiencing bi-polar disorder, major depression, and PTSD diagnosable by the DSM-IV. Childhood abuse among those with bi-polar disorder, major depression, and PTSD need more in depth study. Community mental health facilities could use the information from this present study. Information from this study could also prevent future veterans from being abused by making veterans…
