"The issue of psychiatric diagnosis, strictly avoided during the golden years of psychoanalysis in the 1940's and 1950's, rose to prominence in the early 1960's in conjunction with the "neoKraepelinian" school of thought. The neo-Kraepelinians sought to revive interest in the objective-descriptive approach to psychiatry; this approach involved classifying the signs, symptoms, course, and prognosis of mental illnesses through observation of phenomenological events rather than through etiological theories. The American Psychiatric Association published their first Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-I) in 1952, followed in 1968 by the DSM-II. However, neither document was as heavily influenced by the neo-Kraepelians and other proponents of descriptive

Abstract
The paper posits that comparing and contrasting five dramatic and historical interpretations of Richard III is an interesting task, for every actor and director who has ever been involved in a stage or film version of this English king's life has had their own conceptions of how he should be portrayed. The paper notes that a few of them have been influenced more by their understanding of the historical Richard III than by previous portrayals of him, but most of them have chosen to be guided much more by the characterization of Richard in William Shakespeare's famous play.

Abstract
The paper discusses how the women of Richard III are downtrodden and disenfranchised; they have experienced extreme losses in terms of their husbands and sons. Despite this apparent lack of power, however, the paper highlights how their actions bring about the changes that occur in Richard's kingdom. The paper describes how they act as agents in foreshadowing the play's actions and their actions bring about the changes that occur during the course of the play. The paper asserts that despite their lack of social power, the roles that women play in Richard III are actually of great importance.

From the Paper
"In most of Shakespeare's plays, women play an inferior role to that of men, even when those women are of noble birth. This portrayal is in many ways an accurate perception of the social behavior prevalent at the time. Women of noble birth were frequently used as pawns in political alliances and were often considered mere conduits for producing heirs to titles. While these social roles are evident in Richard III, women also play a symbolic role. They represent the changes that will take place in Richard's kingdom and, in fact, are used to predict events that take place over the course of the play. Although women are forced to play minor..."

Abstract
This paper looks at William Shakespeare's "Sonnet III". It examines the rhythm, vocabulary and verbal images. The author uses several examples to demonstrate the patterns he used in his poetry. The inspiration for this type of poetry is examined, including his upbringing and early influences.

From the Paper
"In line two, "form another" means to reproduce. Shakespeare continues to make the point throughout the poem that the young man should have children because he is so handsome and his children would be attractive. He says that this is the way for the young man to preserve ("repair") his good looks by passing them on to another generation. In this poem, "beguile" means to cheat or deprive someone of their rights. So to "beguile the world" is to cheat the world. This must have been a very handsome young man."

Abstract
This paper discusses four articles that deal with homelessness in America. It looks at the topic of article, the methods of research, and the results of the assessments. The articles analyzed are: ?Health Status of Homeless and Marginally Housed Users of Mental Health Self-help Agencies,? by Carol Silverman (1998); ?Patterns, Predictors, and Situational Contexts of HIV Risk Behaviors Among Homeless Men and Women? by Donna P. Whitson (1998); ?Tracking Change in Psychological Distress Among Homeless Adults: An Examination of the Effect of Housing Status? by Yin-Ling Irene Wong (2002); and ?Mother-Child Separations Among Homeless and Housed Families Receiving Public Assistance in New York City? by Kirstin Cowal, et. al. (2002).

From the Paper
"The researchers focused on mother-child separation and evaluated maternal factors that might contribute, such as the presence of substance abuse, major depression, history of institutionalization in psychiatric hospital or jail, or involvement with a partner who abused the children in some way. This study had a large sample -- 543 women. 25% of participants reported that they had been separated from their children at least at some time. Homeless mothers were more likely to experience this than housed mothers at a significance of p < .05. This study looked in great detail at correlational relationships between separation of child and mother and various life stresses including mental illness, substance abuse, and removal of children by child welfare services."
