Abstract
The paper critiques two books on psychology: R.D. Laing's "The Divided Self" and Rollo May's "Love and Will".

From the Paper
"May addresses what in his view was a vital association between two different constructs, as mediated by what he called the daimonic. Briefly, May's daimonic consists of the entire system of motives that each unique individual brings to his or her life. Each motive is a separate daimon, a term drawn from the Greek and meaning little or small god. Whereas the general interpretation of a daimon is negative, given its association with something evil..."

Abstract
The paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes the book "The Divided Self: An Existential Study in Sanity and Madness" by R.D. Laing.
Specifically, the paper discusses the question "what, in Laing's view, is the schizophrenic trying to communicate?" Laing's book was one of the first to study and discuss the schizophrenic in detail, and his book is fascinating as a result. The paper states that he was critical of psychiatry and believed schizophrenics have valid memories and communications that illustrated their own reality.

From the Paper
"In complete contrast, another patient, "Mrs. R," lived entirely in fear of not mattering to another person, and desperately searched for recognition and someone to believe in her. Laing writes, "She is like Tinker Bell. In order to exist she needs someone else to believe in her existence" (Laing 60). Laing shows there are many very different manifestations of schizophrenia and psychosis, and that each person has different needs, wants, and methods of dealing with these problems. "

Abstract
This paper will discuss the contributions to existential psychology, which has been a motivating force in the merging of philosophy and psychological theory. By showing the influence of R.D. Laing, Rollo May, and Viktor Frankl, we can see how this style of psychology was made, and why it was slowly becoming a 'school' of thought. Some of the theories of these men will be sited to show their influences, and how they came into the idea of existential psychology.

Abstract
In this article, the writer examines the Canadian case of R v N in terms of police interrogation. The writer concludes that overzealous use of police interrogation should be controlled.

From the Paper
"According to James W. Williams, in recent years the Canadian criminal justice system has been plagued with a number of high profile wrongful convictions. Particular attention has been directed towards the police and their ability to meet their responsibility to investigate crime effectively while protecting the interests, the rights and freedoms of the accused. As Williams has stated, one notable aspect of police operations that has come under increasing scrutiny in this regard is the police interrogation, a practice ... "

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses sex differences on the WISC-R and maintains that the results appear to indicate that there are no difference in intelligence and cognitive abilities between the sexes early in life, even though there is a probability the relationships between these factors change over time. The writer discusses that in part, this change in relationships may occur due to male-related bias in general knowledge or it may have to do with socialization and societal expectations.

From the Paper
"John Durbeyfield thinks he's found the solution to his family's poverty, when it is disclosed upon him by Parson Tringham that the Durbeyfields are some faraway relatives of the D'Urbervilles. However, it's no refuge but just the beginning of the destruction of our heroin Tess Durbeyfield. John Durbeyfield makes ambitious plans to restore his relations with the Urbervilles by sending his daughter Tess to live with them. Tess would not have agreed to this if the Durbyfield's poverty would not have been further emphasized by the wreckage of their carriage and only source of income. The antagonist, a typical, feudal, womanizer of a villain, is broached during Tess's stay at the Urbervilles. He immediately tries to seduce Tess, and uses all his feline charms on Tess without much success. Tess feels rather humiliated when she learns that Stoke-D'Urbervilles (head of the family), has no knowledge of Tess's kinship to them. Meanwhile Alec persistently pursues Tess. Finally, the lusty playboy succeeds in his act when he deflowers Tess at an incident that seems as if it was minutely crafted. Tess condemns herself for her weakness and tells Alec that she will never be able to love him. Several weeks after the incident Tess returns to her village, pregnant. However, her child dies even before he is baptized and Tess even finds it difficult to get a Christian funeral on just her personal account of the birth."

Abstract
This paper details the history and goals of D.A.R.E. which was created in 1983 to educate students across America about the dangers of illegal drugs. Today D.A.R.E. is present in most U.S. schools as well as 13 foreign countries and has garnered the enthusiastic support and sponsorship of educators, law enforcement agencies and the media. The writer of this paper evaluates the strategies and effectiveness of this program against other drug education programs.

From the Paper
"The billions of dollars spent on D.A.R.E. clearly cannot compete with parental involvement. D.A.R.E.'s results do not show success. In addition, they do not show progress. We are staring at an ever-growing mountain of evidence representing that D.A.R.E. simply does not work - kids in the program are just as likely to use drugs as children not in the program. Reality does not get much harsher than that. It is clearly time to cut our losses with D.A.R.E. and return to the tried-and-true approach of personal responsibility."

Abstract
It explains the author's personal experience with D.A.R.E., how D.A.R.E. helps teach students the dangers of drugs, helps students to deal with peer pressures, and why it is necessary to teach students at such a young age. Also deals with refutations to arguments, such as it costs too much, and it teaches the students where to get drugs.

From the Paper
"It was an early Thursday morning, but for some reason, all the students in my class looked wide awake. Usually students were dragging themselves through the history lessons and cursive practice in the early mornings, but Thursdays were different. The students were all excited. They were anticipating the arrival of Officer Potnick. Officer Potnick was a huge, burly man with a deep laugh. He came in wearing his police uniform which made every student jump to attention. Also, he had a great sense of humor which helped keep the students on their toes. He taught us very important lessons about the danger of drugs."

Abstract
According to McGuffin et al. (1995), at the beginning of this century schizophrenia was already considered to have a genetic component. However, this was disputed during the 1960s by the word of R.D. Laing and others, who considered schizophrenia as primarily environmental, and as representing an adaptive response to a crazy-making culture.

"Genetics and Schizophrenia

Introduction
According to McGuffin et al. (1995), at the beginning of this century schizophrenia was already considered to have a genetic component. However, this was disputed during the 1960s by the word of R.D. Laing and others, who considered schizophrenia as primarily environmental, and as representing an adaptive response to a crazy-making culture. In looking carefully at the research, however, the current consensus is that there is clearly a genetic component to schizophrenia, although the exact method of transmission has not been identified. The intent in the following pages is to explore some of the research, looking at problems, methods, and future directions, along with ..."
