Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the issue of concern with regard to dual relationships is exploitation, because of the potential conflicts that can disrupt the professional world. For example, if a psychologist were to have a patient that he or she also socialized with, the counselor could become so emotionally involved in the other person's life that the ability to actually assist the person would be inhibited. The writer discusses that the issue of exploitation itself surfaces because the psychologist has placed him or her self in a situation in which he or she becomes vulnerable to questions of moral and ethical practices as the dual relationship is exposed, thereby destroying the career of the psychologist.
From the Paper
"Gottlieb defines a dual relationship as any relationship that exists within the professional world and then continues into the personal world of the individual (sec. 1). Dual relationships, according to Gottlieb can also be considered "multiple relationships", in which a professional individual may be another person's counselor, as well as a lover, spouse, family member or friend. Because professionals primarily understand their roles as professionals, as well as their roles outside of business, duality in itself is not the issue of concern."

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at dual relationships in connection with professionals involved in counseling. The writer explains that such dual relationships refer to the fact that the therapist has a professional relationship with a client but that if the boundaries are exceeded, he or she may also have a personal relationship with the client.
From the Paper
"The role of a professional psychologist, psychotherapist, or counselor brings that person into close contact with his or her clients in an intimate relationship that must have boundaries in order for the professional to provide proper counseling to the client. Professional organizations for these professionals often create and implement professional codes of conduct to set the necessary boundaries and to give guidance to the professionals on a variety of issues. One such issue is known as dual relationships, referring to ..."

Abstract
This paper presents a proposal to research Morgan Community College's dual enrollment program. The research aims to determine whether the students who graduate from this program experience the same level of academic success and satisfaction as those students who graduate from comparable dual enrollment programs.
Outline:
Chapter 1: Introduction
Chapter 2: Review of the Literature
Chapter 3: Methodology
From the Paper
"In recent years some students in high school have been allowed to take college-level courses that count towards their high school diploma and towards an associate degree. Earning college credit while still in high school can afford many students opportunities that are not available to students in traditional settings. For instance, by the time a student graduates from high school, he or she may have earned credits that will transfer and assist in training for the military, jobs, technical schools or college often at a reduced tuition cost or, in some cases, at no cost to the students (Bailey, Hughes, & Karp, 2002; Rajala, 2003)."

Abstract
The paper explains that African-Americans have had to adapt to the white hegemonic culture and speak its language, but they are still viewed as alien, other and apart from it. The paper looks at Du Bois' personal awareness that he lived in two worlds and how he shows that the more an African-American tries to be 'American', the more he realizes that American society excludes blackness from its self-definition, even while it celebrates the contributions of blacks to America's culture. Finally, the paper looks at the film "The Matrix," and how it portrays the destabilizing nature of harboring a double consciousness.
From the Paper
"According to the African-American intellectual WEB. Du Bois, all blacks in America harbor what he calls a double or 'dual,' divided sense of consciousness. Whites do not similarly suffer the negative consequences of having such a divided perspective on the world. African-Americans dwell in a society that denies them full and equal participation, as a people, in most civic and social institutions. While there are of course some exceptions, by and large, America's Constitution and framework of laws has been written by whites, interpreted by whites through the vehicle of the U.S. Supreme Court, and African-Americans have been denied full voting rights and the right to disseminate their own media to a larger audience, except in a highly selective and depoliticized fashion. African-Americans, as imported, forced immigrants to America, have had to adapt to the white hegemonic culture and speak its language. But they are still viewed as alien, other, and apart from it, and are not seen as truly fluent in its social conventions."

Abstract
In this paper, an analysis of Chuck Palahniuk's messianic character is represented in the dual personality of Jack and his alter ego, Tyler Burden. By realizing the tendency toward a messianic urge in the growing disgust of Jack as victim of American consumer culture and corruption; Tyler Burden becomes his alter ego seeking to destroy American culture though the example of Christ's crucifixion. The archetype of the messianic figure is ever present in this novel with Tyler's desire to cleanse humanity of corruption and sin through fight club's anarchist terrorism.
From the Paper
Analyzing Apostolic Fiction in the Messianic Characterizations of Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club This study will analyze the role of messianic characterization in the novel Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk. The main character, Jack, is a messianic figure that is founded through a split ego personality, which provides him the necessary invention and leadership of Tyler Burden to invent fight club. However, the messianic overtones of Fight Club revolve around his desire to thwart the materialism of American society, which acts as a recruiting ground for various apostolic followers in the club. In essence, Palahniuk creates the Jack/Tyler personality as a messianic

Abstract
In this article, the writer examines if there are effective ways to treat co-occurring / co-existing disorders simultaneously instead of using a multitude of techniques. Another aspect of this study is to determine the amount of supporting documentation on effective treatment methods, as well as possible data on other effective methods and methods that may have been proven ineffective or untimely. This study also serves as current research on what characteristics have been determined to create co-occurring / co-existing disorders. The writer points out that people with alcohol use disorders often have co-occurring psychiatric disorders, but they frequently do not receive specialized substance abuse treatment that addresses both conditions. The writer also notes that although pharmacological and psychosocial treatments for alcohol use disorders and psychiatric disorders can be integrated to help these patients, relatively few clinical studies have tested these types of treatments. The writer concludes that as mental health and substance abuse facilities expand their services for patients with dual disorders, further research is needed to guide the treatment of this patient population.

From the Paper
"Over the past few decades, there has been research that describes different disorders and treatments. However, a situation, which exists, is that of co-occurring disorders also called coexisting disorders. An important aspect of co-occurring/existing disorders is what treatment methods exists and are they effective, as well as if there are methods of providing these treatments in a combined manner through one method, instead of having patients using multiple treatment methods. When a mental health professional searches for effective ways to treat a patient it is imperative that those chosen methods be effective and in a timely fashion. Another important aspect is what causes these co occurring/existing disorders to occur in the first place. If information can be found that gives a conclusive reason for why co occurring/ existing disorders happen, then researchers may be able to create methods that will be able to stop co occurring/existing disorders for happening or at least decrease the likelihood of them occurring so prevalently."

Abstract
This paper outlines and discusses how the use of an anonymous frame narrator and the primary narrator Marlowe encourage the reader to see the major concerns of the novella. These include the hypocritical nature of western imperialism on the late 19th century, the transitory nature of western civilization and the nature of evil.
From the Paper
"In Joseph Conrad's impressionistic novella "Heart of Darkness" the unusual use of dual narrators is very important in positioning the reader to understand the themes of the novella. Three of the main themes that are constantly referred to in Heart of Darkness are the hypocritical nature of western imperialism, the transitory nature of western civilization and the nature of evil. The dual narrator system has a primary narrator, Marlow, who is telling the story to three people, all somehow involved in the business of imperialism, on-board a yawl called the Nellie. It also has a frame narrator, an anonymous person with some connection to imperialism who is relating the events that occurred on the Nellie to the reader. Both of these narrators are used by Conrad to position the reader to see the novella's themes. Marlow is used fairly directly and his biased point of view and definite moral sense of right and wrong are used to directly position the reader's perspective on the three major themes mentioned earlier. The frame narrator specifically positions the reader in terms of the three themes mentioned earlier. He is also used indirectly by Conrad to position the reader in terms of the themes of the novella, he gives the reader a short background of Marlow and his stories and also encourages the reader to believe that Marlow is a very perceptive and trustworthy character, therefore, his story, and so the ideas that surround it, are important and worth thinking about."

Abstract
This paper looks at specific influences in the life of Charles Dodgson (aka Lewis Carroll) such as split personality disorder, sleep difficulty and Victorian era social problems and examines how they are represented in the story of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". A detailed analysis of the story shows that there are characters, events and symbols that may serve as allegorical representations of the influences in the author's life.
From the Paper
"What is the difference between dreaming and pretending? The pretender creates the environment for the action while the dreamer is forced to negotiate an environment that was not consciously created. One of the most celebrated dreams in literature involves a girl named Alice and a place called Wonderland. On a hot July day in 1862, Charles Dodgson began telling a story to three little girls during a boating trip. It was a fantastic tale about a mysterious rabbit hole, talking animals, magic potions and a particularly violent Queen. One of the girls on the trip, Alice Liddell, begged Mr. Dodgson to write down the story for her. The story was written as Alice's Adventures Under Ground, which was later published under the more commonly known name, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (Bassett 49). For the causal reader of this fairy tale, it may be hard to imagine how the author created such an outlandish story. The characters are bizarre and often absurd. Nothing in the story seems to be of this world, at least not within the realms of known sciences. However, a detailed analysis of the story shows that there are characters, events and symbols that may serve as allegorical representations of the influences in the author's life. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a story comprised of extra ordinary characters and events that correspond directly to the real life biography of Charles Dodgson."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the greatest debate among critics of "A Streetcar Named Desire" may be about who the hero of the play is, Stanley or Blanche. The writer proposes that both are heroes and that the play is a classical tragedy. The paper explores how both Blanche and Stanley fit the pattern for a classical tragic hero. They both have goals, which they themselves compromise because of a tragic flaw. The writer argues that what is unique to "A Streetcar Named Desire" is that there are two heroes, rather than one. The paper examines how their two tragic flaws have to combine in order to create the downfall of each of the heroes.
From the Paper
"Stanley conforms almost exactly to the idea of a tragic hero. Not only does he have a clearly defined goal, but that goal mirrors the goals of the heroes that have come before him. Stanley's goal is the preservation of his kingdom and protecting it from outside threats. Of course, Stanley's kingdom is somewhat smaller than other heroes in literature; rather than an empire, Stanley's kingdom is a two room walk-up apartment in New Orleans. In addition, rather than ruling over thousands of subjects, Stanley rules over Stella. Therefore, Blanche's threats to Stanley's kingdom take on an almost petty cast; she drinks his liquor and takes up too much space in his small apartment."
