Abstract
This paper penetrates into emotional side of parentally bereaved children, how the tragedies have been affecting them socially, and draws a connection between psychopathology in childhood bereavement and parental death. The functions of preventive intervention groups and the Family Bereavement Program (FBP) are described and evaluated in terms of their efficacy in reducing the children's risk of disturbance. The feelings and behavior of bereaved children can be misinterpreted, and there is possible over-representation in psychopathology of childhood bereavement. Other factors that affect the mental health of bereaved children are also discussed. Furthermore, it gives details on the actions taken by the intervention groups in hopes to modify these factors in order to improve the bereavement process.
From the Paper
"This Child Bereavement Study focuses on the effects of parental death have on dependent children, and to "gain a clearer picture of the risk for seriously disturbed behaviour in them" . This study was performed as 70 families with 125 bereaved children were chosen at the Greater Boston area, with varying family characteristics (e.g. gender and age of surviving parent, family income, type of death etc.). Parentally bereaved children's responses were then compared with the non-bereaved controls in this sample. Using a semi-structured interview, the surviving parents and their children were assessed at: 4 months after the death, one year after the death and the second year after the death. A child was randomly selected from each family and is paired with a non-bereaved child who matched in age, gender, school grade and socioeconomic background. The control children were interviewed at the same time as the bereaved.
The study used three instruments to measure the children's behaviour and emotion: The Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL), Perceived Competence Scale for Children, and Locus of Control Scale for Children. Assessment at the first year after the death did not reveal any significant differences between the bereaved and control children. However, by two years, bereaved children scored higher on social withdrawal, anxiety and depression. The data was also examined by age-gender groupings. Adolescent boys and pre-adolescent girls showed no difference from controls at one year, but significant changes appeared in two years. Adolescent girls and pre-adolescent boys did not show differences between the controls at either the first or second year."

Abstract
This essay states that the Lazarus' model is a very concise theory that explains how individuals try to make sense of a stressful situation from the initial impact of the event forward. It details the primary and secondary appraisals implemented to assess the event and promotes the idea that coping resources held by the individual affected are utilized to assist in overcoming the experience. Through personal experience, the author shows that overall, the Lazarus Model provided a clear understanding of the experience and the coping mechanisms used, either consciously or unconsciously to cope with trauma.
Outline:
Description of the Incident
Description of My Emotional Experience
How Lazurus' Model Helps Make Sense of This Experience
The Aspects of My Experience Lazarus' Model Fails to Explain
How Lazarus' Model Could be Modified to Fit My Experience
Conclusion
From the Paper
"When assessing my coping resources via the secondary appraisal phase in Lazarus' model, I discovered my coping mechanisms were quite healthy. I was able to take control of the situation and the stressors involved by realizing that future harm of this nature could be avoided by ending the toxic relationship I was in. Further, I realized the challenges faced by experiencing such a trauma could be turned into positive benefits, as from this negative transaction, I received all the strength and knowledge I could glean from this experience."

Late Adulthood Bereavement, 2006.

Abstract
This paper begins with a definition of bereavement and grief. Loss of a spouse is rated as the most stressful life event across all ages and cultural backgrounds. The paper continues to explore the myriad of literature on the topic of dealing with grief in late adulthood. In conclusion, it explores the diagnosis, symptoms and treatment of grief.
From the Paper
"At least 10 -20 percent of widows and widowers develop clinically significant depression during the first year of bereavement, and without treatment, such depressions tend to persist, become chronic and lead to further disability and impairments (Older pp). Bereavement-associated depression often coexists with another type of emotional distress, which has been termed traumatic grief, the symptoms of which, although not formalized as a mental disorder in DSM-IV, appear to be a mixture of symptoms of both pathological grief and post-traumatic stress disorder (Older pp). Such symptoms are extremely disabling, associated with functional and health impairment and with persistent suicidal thoughts, and may well respond to pharmacotherapy (Older pp)."

Abstract
This paper examines how, during the Vietnam War, soldiers were not exposed to the traditional coping mechanisms of our American society, as illustrated in Tim O'Brien's "The Things They Carried". It looks at how these men were forced to discover and invent new ways to deal with the pressures of war, using only the resources they had in the Vietnamese jungle. It was not possible for any soldier to carry many items or burdens with them, but if something was a necessity, a way was found to carry it, and coping mechanisms were a necessity to survive the war.
From the Paper
"The conditions of war can be enough to drive a person to the edge of insanity, causing him or her to need something personal to bring them back to reality. They were in the war twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, and the securities that each soldier had were the only things that kept them sane. Lt. Jimmy Cross repeatedly had thoughts and visions of Martha, left at home. He would read the letters she sent him and wonder about her as a tactic to keep him connected with the real world and the life he had left."

»

Abstract
In this article, the writer examines the theory of the existence of three different dimensions of listening. The writer describes the three different dimensions as purely musical, sensuous and expressive. In this regard, the writer uses Sting's song "Fields of Gold," in order to demostrate the theory. The writer discusses the appreciation of music in this way.
From the Paper
"Aaron Copland argues that we listen to music on three planes, the sensuous the expressive and the sheerly musical. I tried to listen on all three planes to Sting's song 'Fields of Gold' which I had heard many times on the radio and as the third song on his CD Ten Summoner's Tales and listening to it this way gave me a whole new appreciation for his artistry. Copland says that the first plane the sensuous is just enjoying the music without thinking about it. That's how ... "

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines what stress is, both positive and negative, looks at the history of how society has typically dealt with stress, and then discusses several of the commonly recommended coping strategies that are used in the mental health field.
From the Paper
"For many years, the mental health profession has studied stress and its impact on people. After watching how stress occurs, who it affects and what it means, experts have agreed that stress is an unavoidable fact of life. Following this decision, the experts then moved to define types of stress. Since it cannot be avoided, it became important to identify whether it is negative or positive and then figure out how to handle it. Today, the focus is no longer on denying its existence, but instead on developing coping strategies to lessen the negative impact it might otherwise have on one's life."

Abstract
This paper addresses the various coping techniques that individuals can employ when dealing with cancer themselves or dealing with a loved one who has the disease. Moreover, this paper also addresses how a diagnosis of cancer can dramatically change not only the life of the person with cancer but the lives of those who love and care about him or her as well.
From the Paper
"According to the American Cancer Society, cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. Half of all men and one-third of all women in the U.S. will develop cancer during their lifetimes. Today, millions of people are living with cancer or have had cancer. The numbers are dismal; according to most statistical data American's possess almost a fifty percent chance of developing cancer. With these alarming statistics it is unfortunate and inevitable that almost everyone will have to in some way or another learn how face and cope with the depressing hardships and obstacles of cancer. Whether an individual is diagnosed personally with cancer or a friend or family member is, it seems as though all of us at some point in time may have to learn coping mechanisms for this illness."

Abstract
A self-help book is one that presents practical ideas which an individual, family, group, organization, or community may use to improve its well being in one or more of the following realms: emotional, intellectual, interpersonal/social, physical and political. This paper examines how the book "Coping with Life Challenges", meets these criteria and the author explains how the book has helped him personally.
From the Paper
"Chapters six through eight address loneliness, anxiety, and anger. These feelings are again, very common, however may not be a daily occurrence. Each chapter explains the emotion in depth, includes personal quizzes, and address multiple ways to deal with such situations. These chapters were not as relevant to me as a reader because I am not a stressed out, angry, lonely person. Granted, I cannot generalize these feelings into one irritable being, but overall - I experience little stress and anger and I am generally happily surrounded with close friends. I did find it helpful to read these chapters because it allowed me to better associate with others. "

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the economic, social and moral pressures on the Younger family in "A Raisin in the Sun" by Lorraine Hansberry and on Miss Emily Griersen in "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner. It discusses how the characters in each work cope with these pressures.
From the Paper
"Faulkner describes Miss Emily as a town tradition and obligation. No one knew exactly why, but the mayor, Colonel Sartoris, had excused her taxes dating from the death of her father in 1894, therefore for decades she never received a tax notice. When the new generation took over the city duties and found no written record of this arrangement, they tried their best to serve her notice, but she simply waved them off (Faulkner 1995). She was a Griersen and socially above any one in the town. She was a spinster by the time her father died, although she did in her middle years have a suitor of sorts for a time. Everyone thought they had married. He was seen entering the house, although he was never seen again (Faulkner 1995). Miss Emily taught china painting classes for several years to support herself. When pupils stopped coming, she was seldom, if ever seen outside her house again."

From the Paper
"This study will examine various aspects of the coping experiences of Jews during and after the Holocaust. The study will consider specifics of the suffering of the Jews, the definition of a survivor, and the clinical symptomology of the victims of the Holocaust.
The thesis of the study is that while moral injustices inflicted upon the Jews during the Holocaust affected the Jews psychologically, many Jews nevertheless learned to deal with the memories in order to live their lives in a more or less normal fashion years after the destruction was over.
Jack Porter, writing in the Bulka.edited issue of The Journal of Psychology and Judaism, writes: ''Before the outbreak of World War II, there were about 8.8 million Jews living in Europe. Approximately..."
