Q1.Sketch out a treatment plan for one experiencing anorexia. Make sure to take into account both the immediate and long-term treatment needs.
For extremely underweight individuals suffering severe health consequences, the most critical initial aspect of treating anorexia is the restoration of body weight and addressing any resulting complications (such as heart problems). For some patients, this may require hospitalization; others may benefit from an outpatient setting which combines communal meals with a therapeutic program. "Cognitive-oriented therapies, focusing on issues of self-image and self-evaluation, are likely to be the most beneficial to the client" (Anorexia nervosa treatment, 2013, PsychCentral).
Some involvement of the family is often thought to be necessary, including using the family as an aid for the patient's treatment and making eating a non-negotiable priority at home. However, it is vitally important to remember that weight restoration is not a cure and support for the patient must be maintained even after weight is normalized. Anorexics are often at great risk for developing other eating disorders such as bulimia (binging and purging) even if their weight does...
"Weight is only the symptom in this disorder of poor body image and self-esteem problems" (Anorexia nervosa treatment, 2013, PsychCentral).
Q2. Alcohol is certainly misused or abused in the U.S. more than any other drug. What about alcohol promotes physical and psychological dependence? What are the long-term problems associated with alcohol abuse? Finally, please describe one widely used form of therapy for those struggling with alcohol abuse.
Alcohol releases "naturally occurring feel-good opioids known as endorphins in two key brain regions associated with reward processing" and "heavy drinkers released more endorphins in response to alcohol, and they reported feeling more intoxicated than the lighter drinkers after drinking the same amount of alcohol" (Boyles). Drinking also lowers the imbiber's sense of inhibitions, which can make drinking feel freeing and relaxing. For persons who struggle with intimacy this can make alcohol a crutch to get through the day. Long-term problems associated with alcohol abuse include impaired functioning at work and school, as well as physical complications such as heart disease, damage to the liver, high blood pressure, gout, dementia, and early death from drunken driving or poor judgment when inebriated (Freedman 2013). By far the most famous and popular treatment for alcoholism is AA, a…

Fictional Elements in Selected Works from Kate Chopin and Anton Chekhov In both of Kate Chopin's works, "The Story of an Hour" and "Desiree's Baby," the most important element of fiction which the author invokes is plot and conflict, for the simple fact that this element is the most effective way of imparting the powerful irony which grips both of these tales. "The Story of an Hour" in particular is
The only image from the time that we have of the original dress is in the film poster (Image 5), where one can see that the dress showed quite a big of leg, which was considered improper and that is why the film commissioned a tailor to sew up Givenchy's original design, as to not offend anybody in the audience. What a pity, for today, the dress would perhaps

Rem Koolhaas: A survey of his work and aesthetic philosophy The radical Dutch architect and architectural theorist Rem Koolhaas is often called one of the world's best -- and one of the world's most controversial -- architects. Koolhaas is as much known for his aesthetic philosophy as he is for his work. "Koolhaas' most provocative -- and in many ways least understood -- contribution to the cultural landscape is as an
Kamien (161) notes that "theme and variations" was a basic musical idea widely used in the Classical period. In the second movement of Haydn's Symphony No. 94, the strings play the theme for the first time, softly and sweetly. Suddenly, the orchestra sounds a loud and dramatic chord -- the surprise. From there, the melody soars and dips as Haydn explores variations. He adds instruments to bring a fuller sound
